Chapter 4x

## 4x
## Intro 1
\g[Castle Gate]
\f[7|Dorin]\m[7|5]\w[7]
\s[5]
Hey, Pellinore, Sir!|
\s[-2]

\w[16]

\f[2|Pellinore]
\s[2]
Hmm? Just Pellinore is fine,\n
Dorin. What do you need?|

\s[5]
That fort that's near the other\n
end of the castle... Do you know\n
what it's supposed to be used for?|

\s[2]
Fort...? Oh, that's a watch tower.\n
Otr usually has a couple of soldiers in\n
it to keep an eye on the surroundings.|\n
... Although, given what happened, I\n
doubt anyone's been paying attention\n
to it. Actually, can you take a look?|

\s[5]
Er... Yeah, I guess. Do I need a key?|

\s[2]
Yes. Lady Sebile showed me where it's\n
kept. Give me a second to go and get it...|
\s[-2]

## Sigurd & Brunhilda Scene
\g[Fort]
\f[2|Dorin]\f[5|Sigurd]
\s[2]
Thanks for accompanying me,\n
Sir Sigurd. I don't really\n
know what I'm doing, truthfully.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
No sweat, Dorin. With me around,\n
the mission is sure to be a--|

\f[7|Brunhilda]
\s[7]
Failure!|
\s[-2]

\s[5]\r[5]\e[5|2]
... Ugh, her.|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\m[2|1]\w[4]\f[2|Sigurd]\e[2|2]\o[1]\w[16]
\m[7|5]\w[8]
\s[5]
You know you love me, Gurdy.|

\s[2]
Only as much as I'm required by law.|

\s[1]
Miss... Brunhilda, right?|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Yep! I don't think we've had\n
a chance to formally meet.|

\s[2]
Dorin, Bunny. Bunny, Dorin.\n
You've met. You can go now.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Hush, Gurdy.|

\s[1]
... Anyway, shall we head inside?|
\s[-2]

## Intro 2
\g[Fort Top]
\f[2|Dorin]
\s[2]
Never been inside one of these before...|
\s[-2]

\f[5|Sigurd]\e[5|1]
\s[5]
Pretty neat, right? I'm a sucker\n
for architecture like this. The\n
spiral staircases and round windows...|\n
Every house should have this stuff.|

\s[2]
... My house was only one floor...|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Er, right, sorry.|
\s[-2]

\f[6|Brunhilda]
\s[6]
I leave for one minute and you're\n
already insulting people, Gurdy?|

\s[5]\b[5|1]\e[5|2]
Bunny, give it a rest.|

\s[6]
Maybe if you were more--|

\s[2]
Wait, hold on! Do you two see that?|
\s[-2]

\m[5|4]\r[4]\w[4]\m[6|5]\r[5]\w[4]

\s[4]\e[5|0]\b[5|0]
... No? I don't see anything.|

\s[2]
No, not there, over there!|

\s[5]
... Are those soldiers? Why are they...\n
They look like they're chasing someone!|

\s[2]
We have to help them! Come on,\n
let's go tell Sir Pellinore about--|

\s[4]
Hold on, is that even a good idea?|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\w[4]\r[4]\f[1|Brunhilda]
\s[2]
Huh? Why wouldn't it be--|

\s[4]
We don't know who any of the players\n
are. We shouldn't get involved. What\n
if that's the Avilion army over there?|

\s[1]
Gurdy, you pea-brain. Regardless of\n
who's being attacked, we should\n
investigate. ESPECIALLY if it's Avilion!|

\s[4]\e[4|2]\w[4]
... Whatever.|
\s[-2]

\f[4|nil]

\s[1]\e[1|1]
Hah! First time he's ever\n
just given up like that.|

\s[2]
Is he... going to be okay?|

\s[1]
Oh, he's fine. He'll sulk, but he's fine.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|nil]
\w[20]

\s[2]\m[2|2]
Wait, is that... That man again?\n
What is he doing here...|
\s[-2]

## Intro 2 No Twins
\g[Fort Top]
\f[3|Dorin]
\s[3]
Never been inside one of these before...|\n
Let alone on top...\r[3] This view is\n
kind of amazing.\b[3|2]\w[8] ... Wish someone else\n
was here to see it too...|
\s[-2]
\w[16]

\r[3]\b[3|0]
\s[3]
Huh? What was that noise?|
\s[-2]

\m[3|5]\r[5]\w[32]\m[5|5]\r[5]\w[32]
\s[5]
... Are those soldiers? It looks\n
like they're chasing after someone! I\n
should tell Sir Pellinore immediately--|
\s[-2]

\m[5|5]
\s[5]
Wait, is that... That man again?\n
What is he doing here...|
\s[-2]

## Scene 1
\g[Mountains]
\f[2|Renoart]\m[2|1]\w[8]
\s[1]
Hah... Damn it! You dogs are relentless!|
\s[-2]

\f[5|Astigi]\e[5|1]\f[6|DivinerM-1]\fc[6|Lion_Sons]\name[6|Diviner]
\s[5]
We're the Lion Sons, you fool.\n
Of course we are. Now, just give\n
up quietly and we can all go home.|

\s[1]
Riiiiight, you mean you go home\n
of your own volition while I go\n
back in a chains. Not interested.|

\s[6]
If you want another option, we\n
can always bring you back in a box.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
Pretty sure the reward would be the same.|\b[5|0]\n
And it would be a lot easier than trying\n
to negotiate with you. Pick that option.|

\s[1]
Jump off a bridge. Sellsword scum.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Look who's talking! You were hired\n
by Avilion as a contracted soldier.\n
Otherwise known as 'Sellsword scum'.|\n
At least my guild is loyal to their\n
employer. You just up and ditched\n
because it was more convenient.|

\s[1]
... All this talk is pointless.\n
I'm not letting you take me in,\n
and you're not letting me go either.|

\s[5]
Hell no. We gave you a chance to\n
come quietly. Lions! Take 'em down!|
\s[-2]

## Scene 2
\g[Hills]
\f[5|Pellinore]\f[2|Dorin]
\s[5]
You said they were over here...?|

\s[2]
Yeah, look! Up ahead, past the\n
mountains. A whole platoon!|

\s[5]
... They don't look like Avilion\n
though... Mercenaries perhaps?|\n
But who are they chasing...?|

\s[2]
... I think it's the swordsman\n
who laid siege on [Town].|

\s[5]
And you want to save him... Hmm...|\n
Well, we can decide what to do\n
with him later. He may have intel\n
on Avilion's army or the Empress.|\n
Everyone! Move to rescue that man!|
\s[-2]

## Galehaut Deployed
\g[Plains]
\f[2|Galehaut]
\s[2]
Hmm... An Avilion soldier being pursued\n
by mercenaries... Must be a deserter.|\n
Hold on, if they're mercenaries dealing\n
with a mark, are they General Madoc's men?|\n
... What was their name? Bear children?\n
No, that can't be it... Tiger claws?|
\s[-2]

## Renoart Scene
\g[Mountains]
\f[2|Renoart]
\s[2]
Hah! Is that all you've got? I\n
thought you guys were professionals!\e[2|1]\n
Watch and learn from a real merc!|
\s[-2]

## Astigi Scene 1
\g[Hallway]
\r[3]\f[3|DivinerM-1]\fc[3|LionSons]\name[3|Diviner]
\s[3]
Er... Astigi? What are you doing?|
\s[-2]
\w[8]

\f[7|Astigi]\m[7|6]\w[8]
\s[6]
What's it look like?! I'm searching\n
for the damn paperwork! The Judicator\n
will be here any minute now!|

\s[3]
I mean, yes, but this was okayed\n
with the Boss, so it shouldn't\n
matter if you have the contract.|\n
... You did do that, right?|

\s[6]\m[6|6]
You moron! Of course I did!|

\s[3]
Then why are you so frantic?|

\s[6]
I... I'll still get chewed out!|

\s[3]
Meh, I'd rather be chewed out by\n
the Lions than any other group.|
\s[-2]

\f[3|nil]
\w[16]

\s[6]
... Yeah, well I would be too, if\n
I DID ask the Boss about this...|\n
We need to hurry up and deliver\n
this guy to Avilion so at least\n
the things not a whole bust...|\n
I hope the Judicator gets lost...|
\s[-2]

## Merlina Scene
\g[Hills]
\f[5|Merlina]\f[6|CavalierM-1]\fc[6|Reginn]
\s[5]
What is your problem!? Put me down!|

\s[6]
Gah, shut up girl! You're making--|
\s[-2]

\m[5|5]\e[5|2]\w[5]
\s[5]
LET\m[5|5] ME\m[5|5] GO!|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\f[6|nil]
\sound[Collapse]
\w[32]

\f[5|CavalierM-1]\fc[5|Reginn]\name[5|Reginn]
\s[5]
Grr... Why you little runt!\n
Look what you've done now!|
\s[-2]

\f[3|Merlina]\e[3|2]
\s[3]
I warned you. Deal with the consequences.|

\s[5]
Oh, I'll do more than that.\n
Screw the orders, you're dead.|
\s[-2]

\m[3|2]\e[2|0]\w[4]
\s[2]\w[4]
W-wait... You're not supposed\n
to hurt me! Your commander...|
\s[-2]

\s[5]
I don't care about that anymore!\n
You pissed me off. Deal with the--|
\s[-2]

##sfx shit

\m[5|5]
\s[5]
Aaaaahgh!|
\s[-2]

\sound[Collapse]
\w[16]

\s[2]
W-what... That was...|
\s[-2]

\event

\f[5|Jasper]\name[5|???]
\s[5]
You, girl. Are you all right?|

\s[2]
Y-yeah, I'm fine. Who are you?|

\s[5]
No need to exchange pleasantries.|\n
As for why I intervened, he was\n
judged and deemed unworthy. You,\n
on the other hand, were not.|
So, he was dealt with, while you\n
are able to walk away from here.|\n
... I suggest you do that. These\n
roads can be treacherous for a\n
lone girl without any protection.|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]
\w[16]

\m[2|3]\w[8]
\s[3]
Wait! ... Some savior he was...\n
Sure, that soldiers is gone, but\n
I don't even know where to go...|
\s[-2]

\s[3]\b[3|2]
Hmm... Returning to Otr would be a\n
bad idea, Reginn's soldiers took it\n
over... Staying here is also stupid...|\n
Wait, he dropped something... A tome?\n
So he used White Magic to blast that guy...|\n
Just my luck, something I can't use.\n
Whatever, I guess I'll try and read\n
it on the way to... Reginn. That's\n
where Mom should be. ... Hope she's ok.|
\s[-2]

## Lions cleared
\g[Mountains]
\f[2|Renoart]
\s[2]
Finally, that's all of them...\n
Maybe I can make a break to the\n
south and evade--|
\s[-2]

\m[2|3]\w[8]
\s[3]
Hold on, is it that kid again?\n
Why is he here? I told him...|
\s[-2]

## Recruit Renoart
\g[Mountains]
\f[6|Dorin]\m[6|5]\w[5]
\s[5]
It was you!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Renoart]
\s[2]
Sigh... How many times is this?\n
Whatever the count, far too many.|

\s[5]
I'm sorry... I know you said you\n
didn't want to see me again, but\n
this time seemed to be unavoidable.|

\s[2]
Bah... And you brought those soldiers\n
from Fafnir with you, didn't you?|

\s[5]
Yes, Sir Pellinore is here...\n
He agreed to help you.|

\s[2]
Soft. You're both too damn soft!|

\s[5]
... ... ...|

\s[2]
But, I'm grateful all the same. I doubt\n
I'd be alive right now if not for your...\n
persistence. So, I guess we're even.|

\s[5]
W-well, aren't you technically in\n
my debt? Because I spared you back--|

\s[2]\e[2|2]
We've been over this. You didn't spare\n
me, you were too afraid to kill me.\n
Those are entirely different things.|\e[2|0]\n
I chose not to kill you in Lyngh.\n
And you chose to save my life here.|

\s[5]
... But what about Sir Pellinore?|

\s[2]
What about the Fafnir brat?|

\s[5]
Don't you... technically owe him?|\n
To my knowledge, he tried to talk you\n
down before, and now he's come to your\n
aid as well. So you owe him, right?|

\s[2]
...\e[2|2] I guess.|

\s[5]
So join us! You won't need to worry\n
about... any of this if you're part\n
of the... Er... I guess Merovin army.|

\s[2]
You've got a lot of nerve asking me that.|\n
... After the battle's over, I'll think\n
about it. Maybe. Don't get your hopes up.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Maybe is enough for me.|
\s[-2]

## Recruit Renoart (Pellinore)
\g[Mountains]
\f[6|Pellinore]\m[6|5]\w[5]
\s[5]
... So it was you, the swordsman who\n
attacked Hreidmar. Why are you here?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Renoart]
\s[2]
I don't answer to you, brat. But, if\n
you must know, I left Avilion's army.\n
They're... not too keen on that choice.|

\s[5]
So you're a deserter... And these\n
mercenaries are bounty hunters.|

\s[2]
That about sums it up, yeah.|

\s[5]
... Is it because we let you go?\n
Dorin told me about what happened,\n
how he couldn't strike you down.|

\s[2]
He's soft. And given you don't seem\n
upset to see me alive, you are too.|

\s[5]
I... I just don't see the reason to\n
kill someone who can be reasoned with.|\n
I also have a lot of questions for you.|

\s[2]
... Given that I owe you, I guess\n
I can give you an answer.|

\s[5]
Why desert? You could have just as\n
easily returned to Avilion and informed\n
your superiors about what happened.|\n
... Or are the rumors about Empress\n
Artura true? Does she not tolerate\n
failure to the point of executions?|

\s[2]
What? No. That's some made-up story you\n
Merovians made up. I left because I was\n
never a soldier in the first place.|\n
I was a mercenary, and I broke my contract.|\n
I didn't have much of a choice, so I tried\n
to sneak back over the border, but ran into\n
these mercs who had my face on a poster.|

\s[5]
Why try to cross the border? You were\n
trying to get away from Avilion I thought.|

\s[2]
... I said I'd answer one question, this makes two.|

\s[5]
Sigh. All right then. One question.|

\s[2]
... So what now, then?|

\s[5]
Like I said, I have more questions.\n
My sister is bound to as well. So,\n
you're not going anywhere for now.|

\s[2]\e[2|2]
Says who?|

\s[5]
Er... Says me! You owe us your life\n
should we get out of this conflict.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
.. I mean, I guess. Fine. My sword\n
is yours for now, then. Until the\n
fight is over. Then we'll part ways.|

\s[5]
That... Yes, okay. That's fine with me.|

\S[2]
Good.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]

\w[16]

\s[5]
... He's a lot more intimidating than\n
I remember... I need to work on that...|
\s[-2]

## Astigi Rush
\g[Fort]
\f[5|Astigi]
\s[5]
Damn it! He's still alive!?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|DivinerM-1]\fc[2|LionSons]\name[2|Diviner]
\s[2]
Astigi... Some other group entered\n
the fight. On the side of the traitor.|

\s[5]\m[5|5]
Argh, why?! Fine, open the gate, we'll\n
handle this problem ourselves. I won't\n
have them make a mockery of the Lions!|
\s[-2]

## vs Astigi
\f[1|Astigi]
\s[1]
Why can't people like you just butt out?\n
This has nothing to do with you! Don't\n
blame me for your untimely death, fool.|
\s[-2]

## Renoart vs Astigi
\f[6|Renoart]\f[1|Astigi]
\s[1]
I hope you're proud of yourself.\n
Getting saved by complete strangers\n
shows just how pathetic you are!|

\s[6]\e[6|1]
Funny, I don't remember asking for\n
their help, nor did I need it.|\n
This was always between the two\n
of us, it's time we settled things.|

\s[1]
Hmph, fine by me! Not like you can\n
get through my defenses anyway.|

\s[6]
You think I haven't figured you out?|

\s[1]
Uhh... No?|
\s[-2]

## Pellinore vs Astigi
\f[1|Astigi]\f[6|Pellinore]
\s[6]
You're a mercenary, right\n
Who put you up to this job?|

\s[1]
No one; I saw a bounty, I wanted it.\n
There's no subplot here, kid. Why\n
help this guy? He's a deserter!|

\s[6]
... I need information from him.|

\s[1]\m[1|1]
Fine! Ask him your questions then\n
let me take him in for the reward!|\n
Everyone wins! Don't be stupid!|

\s[6]
That isn't going to work--|

\s[1]
Then die already!|
\s[-2]

#Boss Quote: Astigi(Sigurd)
\f[1|Astigi]\f[6|Sigurd]
\s[6]
So,\w[5] you're part of the famous Lion\n
Sons,\w[5] right?\w[20] I've always wanted to\n
see your strength first hand.|\e[6|1]\n
Just to make you look like amateurs.|

\s[1]\e[1|2]
You stupid little noble.\w[15] You don't\n
know a thing about the real world.|\m[1|1]\n
I'll wipe that smarmy smile off of\n
your face.\w[15] Permanently!|

\s[6]
Come and get me,\w[5] Lion cub!|
\s[-2]

## Astigi dead
\f[6|Astigi]
\s[6]
G-gah... This is the worst...\n
I just wanted some extra gold...\n
Is that so bad? Come on...|
\s[-2]

## Time limit
\g[Mountains]
\f[5|Astigi]
\s[5]
Cripes! This is taking too long,\n
there's no way Seville hasn't\n
sent for my location yet... Ack!|\n
Screw the bounty, I'm out of here!|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\w[32]

\f[1|ArcherM-1]\fc[1|LionSons]\name[1|Archer]
\s[1]
Astigi? Astigi! What the hell;\n
he's abandoning us?! After him!|
\s[-2]

\f[1|nil]
\w[16]

## Astigi Down
\g[Mountains]
\f[1|ArcherM-1]\fc[1|LionSons]\name[1|Archer]
\s[1]
Astigi's down! This is a wash;\n
everyone scatter! We can't win this!|
\s[-2]

\f[1|nil]

## Warp to Pellinore
\g[Plains]
\f[2|Pellinore]
\s[2]
What the...? They all just suddenly\n
fled... Well, I guess that's good for us.|
\s[-2]

## Outro 1
\g[Mountains]\w[16]
\f[5|Pellinore]
\s[5]
Now since that's been settled... Time\n
to find out what this is all about.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Renoart]\f[6|Dorin]
\s[2]
What is it? I already told you,\n
once the fight's over, I'm gone.|

\s[6]
B-but--|

\s[2]
Hush, kid. Now, thanks for the help, but\n
I'll be on my way now. Hopefully we\n
never cross paths again, you got it?|

\s[5]
That... That's a stupid plan.|

\s[2]
Eh?|

\s[5]
I mean, you were on your own before,\n
and you were almost caught by those\n
mercenaries... The Lions? Or something?|\n
You would have a lot better luck at\n
achieving your goal if you had a group.|

\s[2]
... And what's the catch? You going\n
to interrogate me or something?|

\s[5]
I just want to know two key things:\n
Why did Empress Artura start this war,\n
and why would you later abandon her?|

\s[2]
... I can't really tell you why it\n
all started. All I know is Kameloth\n
is involved in some capacity.|\n
They've had alliances and disagreements\n
over the years, but nothing like this.|\n
Whatever happened between those two\n
royal families was significant enough\n
to drive our Empress to declare war.|\n
Not just on them, but on everyone.|

\s[6]
... And you were okay with that?|

\s[2]
I'm a mercenary, I go where the money is.\n
She was paying, so I went to Hreidmar.|\n
... The reason I left though has nothing\n
to do with her and everything to do with\n
a weapon I wasn't supposed to have.|\n
And I damn sure wasn't returning it.|

\s[5]
I don't understand; why would you\n
intentionally make your life more\n
difficult by being selfish like that?|

\s[2]
Sigh... You'll understand when I show you.|
\s[-2]

\sound[Sword]
\w[18]
\s[2]
See this sword? Ever seen anything like it?|

\s[5]
... No, I haven't. Are those... writings on\n
the blade? And the pommel design... Dorin?|

\s[6]
My dad had probably every sword ever\n
created... But not that one. This looks\n
sinister... Evil. With enchanted runes.|

\s[2]
Exactly. Something's off with the blade,\n
so I figured there was more to this whole\n
war story that they were letting on.|\n
I was planning on showing my kid brother,\n
that's why I was crossing back over. He\n
knows all kinds of magical incantation stuff.|\n
Right after Hreidmar actually, but since you\n
all kind of... beat me, it delayed me. And by\n
that time, whoever made the sword wanted it back.|

\s[5]
Where did you get the sword?|

\s[2]
... That's the thing. I didn't. When I was\n
leaving the castle, a man wanted to meet\n
with me. Old guy, never saw him before.|\n
He handed it to me wrapped up and said\n
I needed to take it to Kameloth. I wasn't\n
supposed to unwrap it but... obviously I did.|

\s[6]
The sword reeks of dark energy...|

\s[2]
Yeah, it does. That's why I tried wrapping\n
it back up, but it literally burned away\n
the covering. Whoever made it probably\n
sensed the dark energy, which is how they\n
knew where it was located: with me.|

\s[5]
That's a dangerous weapon to have, maybe it\n
was a prototype Avilion was working on...|

\s[2]
I don't even think Avilion has anything\n
to do with it. That old man was scared, but\n
he definitely wasn't an imperial soldier.|\n
Maybe a researcher of some sort.|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
Regardless, that's my story. If that\n
offer still stands. I'd like to make\n
it back to my brother if possible.|

\s[5]
... For now, yes. When my sister returns,\n
I'll discuss it with her. Thank you for\n
the valuable information. Sir... Er...|

\s[2]
Renoart. No formalities necessary.\n
I'll see you back at... camp then.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]

\w[16]

\f[6|nil]

\s[5]

Here, let me help you with that.|

\s[2]
Oh, you all made it back!\n
How did the plan go?|

\s[5]
Well, not exactly the way we hoped,\n
but there's a messenger on their\n
way to Reginn regarding my "capture".|

\s[6]
However, they refused to give us any\n
information on Merlina. I informed them\n
that we're only willing to trade for her.|

\s[2]
Ugh... I hope she's all right... I can't\n
imagine how it must be being held hostage...|

\s[5]
Knowing her, her captors are having a\n
much harder time than she is. When she\n
gets mad... No one has a good day.|

\s[2]
... I can't argue with that...|

Oh, Eliza! There's someone we met\n

Sir Pellinore. ... Lady Helizabel, right?|

\s[1]
Pellinore, isn't this... The man who\n
attacked Hreidmar? Why is he here?|

\s[2]
It's a long story...|

\s[5]
And that's about... everything.|

\s[2]
What are you thinking, Helizabel|

\s[1]
I don't know... But, given what happened\n
yesterday in town, this story makes sense.|

\s[5]
What happened?|

\s[1]
A lone dark sorcerer was spotted.|\n
He was quickly dispatched, but I found\n
it odd to even see one in this day\n
and age given dark magic is... a taboo.|

\s[2]
And the sword clearly has dark magic\n
imbued within it... You think there's\n
some correlation between the two?|

\s[1]
It's too early to determine. But\n
I don't think we can rule it out.|
\s[-2]

\w[16]

\s[5]
... That's all well and good, but what\n
about the other part? About me staying.|

\s[1]
Hmm? That isn't up to me. My brother is\n
in charge. He already permitted you to\n
join our cause, so I believe you're fine.|

\s[2]
You don't have any reservations?|

\s[1]
No, not in particular. But, know that\n
you will be punished for what you and\n
your soldiers did back in Hreidmar.|

\s[5]
... Fair enough. I'll fall in with\n
the rest of the soldiers, then.|

Eliza, are you--|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Pelly, it's fine. I know what you're\n
doing, trying to give me some of your\n
power so we are more or less equals.|\n
But it's all right, I've accepted my\n
place in Fafnir as your second.|

\s[5]
... Still, I hope you will always be open\n
and honest with me, disagreements or not.|

\s[2]
As your big sister, that will always\n
be the case. Don't worry about that.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
... Thanks, Eliza.|

Yes, you probably should have thought\n

N-no! How did... Oh, come on!|

\s[1]
I'm disappointed. You should know\n
not to try and run from justice.|

\s[4]\e[4|2]
Oh, please; your twisted definition\n
of justice doesn't mean anything!|\n
You're just the one who gets to take\n
out the trash. I won't have it, I--|

\s[1]
You don't even know your judgement yet.\n
Wouldn't it be more beneficial to know\n
how you stand in the eyes of the Lions?|

\s[4]
... I'm dead. I already know that.|\n
I took a job on the side, I never got\n
it approved, and I used the Lions to\n
try and achieve my own personal goals.|

\s[1]
I'm glad you're fully aware of your\n
crimes. You already know your guilt.|

\s[4]
Yeah, so either kill me already or\n
don't; I don't have time for games!|

\s[1]
Kill... Hm. Astigi, you are guilty\n
of everything you stated prior, and\n
your punishment is fairly severe.|\n
... However, the Lions never kill\n
their own. Unless you struck the first\n
blow, we have no reason to do that.|

\s[4]
... What? Wait... I was... Concerned over nothing?|

\s[1]
You're still being court-martialed.|\n
Most likely losing your status as\n
commander and having to give up your\n
earnings for a year is hardly nothing.|\n
But... Yes, you'll live to see another day.|

\s[4]\e[4|1]
Oh, I'm so happy! Ah... Damn.\n
I guess the Lion Sons really\n
are the best mercenary group.|

\s[1]
... Don't let this sort of thing\n
happen again. Now, come with me.|

Gladly!|
