So the enemies have finally made it most of the way to the palace.

It's almost time, now.

......

Selvia, I have returned.

Sirius? You're late.

You could've come running right away, if you're here because you heard the stories about Father.

......

Feleen, I'm sorry, but please leave us alone for a moment.

Oh...sure.

The rumors that Father has vanished...

...they were lies you spread to push me into making a choice, weren't they?

Ah, so you realized?

It was obvious when I calmed down and thought it over for a moment.

Even so, if you're here despite knowing that, am I right in thinking you've reached a decision?

Yes, my mind is made up.

I will not go to the other world.

I intend to remain in the Bariura Empire until the end, and save every person that I can.

......

I was conflicted from the moment you told me your plan, Selvia.

I didn't know whether it was right or not for the Imperial line to survive, preserving only a hollow shell of the Empire...

...but I also couldn't say that it was wrong, either.

......

But having come this far, I finally realized what was actually important.

No...actually, she made me realize it. Myuze did, with her death.

...!

Just before she died, Myuze told me she wanted me to protect the citizens she had cared so deeply for.

She said that if even one person survives, then Bariura will live on.

......

I feel that we were all so fearful of Father that we failed to see it...

We didn't see what truly mattered...the people.

If we had only seen it sooner, we might have prevented more casualties.

Even so... Or, no, because of that, I am all the more resolved to fight only for the people from this point on.

......

We of the Bariura Imperial Family...

...all of the Bariura Empire exists with our father, the Emperor, at its center.

Such thoughts are unacceptable for a member of the Imperial Family.

......

But at the same time, that sounds very much like you.

Selvia...

Very well then.

We do not need fools like you as part of Father's plan! Do as you will.

Selvia, thank you.

......

I have received reports...

...that a former knight of the Empire is leading some of the citizens toward the Mistral region.

Somewhere beyond Mistral there is a promised land that is safe from the God Army's attacks, or so the reports say.

The information was hardly credible, however, so I threw it out.

But now, considering what Father is planning to attempt in another world...

...perhaps it wouldn't be so surprising if the report were to be true.

......

*Sigh* This is the last time I'll see you, little brother. Don't make that face.

R-Right!

Farewell, Sirius. Take care of the people.

My dear sister...Selvia, thank you.

And...good bye.

Father, the time has come.

......

I must beg your forgiveness, on behalf of my brother.

This is my first and last request, as your first-born daughter and Crown Princess.

......

Hmm, very well. Losing a single child does not hinder my plans.

However, I will expect all of you to work that much harder.

Yes, sire.

Selvia...

Ah, Feleen.

It seems I will need you to accompany me to the other world, as anticipated.

I know. My place has always been at your side.

Please, make use of me; use the life you saved when we were children.

I will. I'm sorry.

Still, will you be all right without him?

I know you wanted Sirius to come as well.

......

I have spent too long working close to Father. This is the only life I know now.

......

So, shall we depart?

We have our own battles to fight.

No matter what it takes, we will travel to this other world and gain the power to face the God Army!
