Ch.6: Victims of War

北米版ファイアーエムブレム聖魔の光石「the Sacred Stones」の章会話（6章：憎悪の泥濘 ）。

ワールドマップ

Eirika suppresses her feelings of unease
and continues to search for her brother.▼
Passing through Serafew, the group crosses
into the Grado Empire.▼
From here forward, there is no doubt that
they are walking through hostile territory.▼
In hopes of avoiding unnecessary trouble,▼
Eirika and company head for a sparsely
populated region of Grado.▼
However, it is too late. Their movements are
already being tracked.▼

オープニング

Riev:

So, tell me...▼
You have ascertained Eirika's
whereabouts, have you not?▼

Novala:

I have.▼
I sent some of our men to follow
the princess as she fled Serafew.▼
They tell me Eirika and her friends
will be coming this way shortly.▼
Our ambush is ready and waiting.
There's no way they can escape.▼
Like rats in a sack, as they say.
Heh heh heh...▼

Riev:

Very good...
Won't that wretched Valter be delighted.▼
Now about this Princess Eirika...
I hear she's quite a handful.▼
They say her paladin withstood
Valter's lance...▼
Tell me, Novala, are you certain you
can handle this assignment?▼

Novala:

Don't worry. Everything
is under control.▼
I've brought along a certain
something from Renais.▼
It will negate whatever futile
resistance they offer. Ha ha ha...▼

Riev:

Heh heh heh...
Pray it goes as you say.▼
Very well. Do what you must.
I must return to the capital.▼

Novala:

Will you not stay and see how
Eirika looks in captivity?▼

Riev:

Unlike two other layabouts I know,
I do not have such time to waste.▼
I have much to do for out master.
A mountain of tasks awaits me.▼
My time is far too precious to waste
on the likes of that royal whelp.▼
Trifles such at these are best left in
the hands of servants...such as you.▼

Novala:

Y-yes, of coures...▼
Then...travel well.▼

Novala:

Hmph...
Freakish old man.▼
You should have watched. You might
have learned something.▼
I will capture the princess, and I will
replace you at our master's side.▼
You will stew in regret, and I will
enjoy every moment.▼

Novala:

Ha ha ha...▼
Princess Eirika of Renais!▼
Accept your fate. You have
nowhere to flee!▼

Eirika:

What?!
Who are you?▼
And where...where did
you come from?▼

Novala:

You're as beautiful as I'd heard...
And you're even wearing your bracelet.▼
I suppose we should begin there. Would
you surrender your lovely little trinket?▼

Seth:

Ah!▼

Eirika:

My bracelet...▼
Why do you want it?▼

Novala:

His Majesty desires it.
That's reason enough.▼
Once I present it to him, he will make
me a general, and I will be famous.▼
Come, hand it over. Do it quickly,
and I'll leave you alive.▼

Seth:

Princess Eirika, you will do no such thing.▼

Eirika:

Of course not.▼

Novala:

Obedience will save you pain.▼
You came all this way to aid
Prince Ephraim, have you not?▼
A fool's errand. Ephraim fell before
the empire's might.▼
As we speak he wastes away in a cell in
Renvall, meekly awaiting his execution.▼

Eirika:

My brother?!▼
You lie! A pitiful worm like you
could never defeat my brother!▼

Novala:

Bah. Protest all you like.
It does not change the truth.▼
Ephraim has lost, and it was
Grado that defeated him!▼

Eirika:

......▼

Novala:

You're not going to acquiesce,
are you? Very well.▼
Bring me the child.▼

Girl:

H-help me...▼

Eirika:

Ah!▼

Novala:

Look familiar? She's a citizen
of your precious Renais.▼
Now give me the bracelet!
Do it, or the child dies!▼

Eirika:

No, please...▼
You win. But I must have your word
the child will suffer no harm.▼

Seth:

Princess, wait.
That bracelet--▼

Eirika:

It's not worth a child's life.▼
Forgive me, Seth.▼

Novala:

Yes...there can be no mistaking it!▼
Next, your weapons. Take them off
and hand them over.▼

Seth:

No.▼
Surrendering our weapons would be
tantamount to suicide.
You demand too much of us.

Novala:

I see years of peace and idleness have not
dulled the wits of all Renais's knights.▼
Well then, my hostage has no more use to
me, does she? Ah, such a waste.▼
Wait a moment...
I've just had a delicious idea.▼
Have you heard of the giant spiders prowling
about this region?▼
They'd appreciate a nice, hot meal, wouldn't
you agree?▼

Eirika:

You can't--▼

Girl:

Nooo!▼

Novala:

Ha ha! This will be a delight to watch▼
These fools will curse the day they
were born to Renais!▼

Eirika:

Why...why would you...▼
How can you do such a thing?▼

Novala:

This is WAR! There are no rules here!
In war, you can do anything! Anything!▼
You curs of Renais have lost! Your
idiotic ravings mean nothing...▼

Eirika:

Enough. Hold your tongue.▼

Novala:

Wha...what?!▼

Eirika:

I...▼
We, the people of Renais, have long honored
out allegiance with the Grado Empire.▼
And you invaded without warning. You
ravaged our land. You killed my father...▼
Even then, I told myself I must not hate
Grado or her people.▼
If I gave into my hate, the bond between
our lands would be lost forever.▼
I refuse to hate. Instead, I lived for the
day our nations would know peace again.
But...▼
If this is Grado's true face...▼
If you could extinguish Renais without
pity, without remorse...▼
If this is the case, then there is no room
in my heart for forgiveness.▼

Novala:

Impudent girl!▼
Do you expect your words to save
your countrymen? They will not.▼
Your beloved people will all die,
as you will.▼

Novala:

Ha ha ha!▼
If you must curse someone,
curse your dear princess.▼

Woman:

Help, someone!▼

Novala:

Cry! Scream!
HAHAHAHA!▼

Girl:

Are we gonna get eaten?▼

Woman:

We're going to be fine.
Someone will rescue us.▼

Man:

......▼

訪問

村

Boy:

I heard there are monstrous spiders
living in the mountains to the east.▼
They're said to be poisonous, so I
stocked up on antitoxins...▼
This antitoxin's strong stuff. No need
to worry about poison with this around.▼
Hey! Why don't you go ahead and take
one. Go on, you may need it.▼
They might still eat you, but at least
they won't be able to poison you!▼
（Got an Antitoxin）

Girl:

......▼

Eirika:

You're safe now.▼

Girl:

Wa...
Waaaaaaa!▼
I was so scared...
So very, very scared.▼

Woman:

Thank you.▼
You saved us both.▼
If you would like, please
take this...▼
And thank you again.▼
（Got an orion's bolt）

Seth:

Your late father, King Fado...▼
He ordered to keep me silent until
the proper time arrived.▼
However, with all that has happened,
with Emperor Vigarde's actions...▼
I feel it imperative that I tell
you everything, Princess Eirika.▼
Are you ready to hear the secret
of the bracelet you wear?▼

Eirika:

I am...▼

Seth:

As you know, Princess...▼
Renais houses one of the
legendary Sacred Stones.▼

Eirika:

Of course. It's in the temple. It's
supposed to be a ward against evil.▼

Seth:

Yes, the true stone is. But the stone
in the temple is nothing but a forgery.▼
The real Sacred Stone of Renais lies
beneath the royal castle.▼
Guarding it is a powerful seal, an
infinitely complex lock of sorts.▼

Eirika:

What?▼
Is this true?▼

Seth:

Yes. King Fado confided in me himself.▼
The Sacred Stoned banished evil long ago
and possess power beyond our ken.▼
The ancient kings of Renais felt it
prudent to seal ours away.▼
They feared its power could be misused.
They thought to remove the temptation.▼
They keys to break the seal were hidden,
too... Forged into bracelets...▼
...The very ones that you and your
brother, Prince Ephraim, wear.▼

Eirika:

Our bracelets?▼
How could Father keep this a
secret from me for so long?▼

Seth:

"They must know nothing of the bracelets.
Tell them only if some great peril strikes".▼
Those were King Fado's exact orders.▼
Prince Ephraim knows nothing of the
bracelets's secret, either.▼
The king told me this out of fear that
something might happen to him.▼
So that, when the time came, the two of you
would learn the truth.▼

Eirika:

The bracelets have such meaning...▼

Eirika:

Yes. And we are the only living souls who
know the secret of the Stone of Renais.▼
At least, that's what I was given to
believe. And yet...▼

Eirika:

Yet the Grado army has made it clear
that they want me only for my bracelet.▼

Seth:

Yes, quite clear at that...▼
I don't know how, but Emperor Vigarde
must have learned the secret somehow.▼
And now, his troops pursue the bracelet, and
we are no closer to knowing his motives.▼

Eirika:

He would use the bracelets to unlock the
Sacred Stone and destroy it in secret...▼

Seth:

Perhaps.▼

Eirika:

Which means that my brother...
and his bracelet...▼

Seth:

If he's been captured, they may have the
bracelet already, and he may be--▼

Eirika:

Ephraim...▼

Seth:

Princess, We must take Novala's words to
be true. We must hurry to Prince Ephraim.▼
The enemy soldiers who fled the battle will
have reported our location by now.▼
If the prince is being held prison
at Renvall...▼
I fear they might execute him once they
learn of our approach.▼

Eirika:

You're right. We've no time to waste.▼
We must hurry to Renvall!
Let's go rescue my brother!▼
