Introduction

After defeating Arcardo, Roy crosses the border and enters the land of Sacae. The Djute, the most powerful clan in Sacae, serve Bern unbendingly. All clans who have stood against these two joint forces have faced decimation. The chieftain of the Kutolah clan, the famed Silver Wolf Dayan, does lead a guerrilla resistance, but to disappointingly little effect. With none to oppose them, Bern essentially has full control over Sacae. As Roy sets foot on the plains, the Djute wait to strike...

Opening

(Outside, at the center tent)

Soldier: The Etrurian Army marches toward us.
Monke: All according to plan. Draw them closer. They will rue the day they crossed our path. Have the other clans been notified?
Soldier: They have indeed.
Monke: Good. ...The Etrurian Army will be an easier foe than the Silver Wolf. They don't know this land. They're unfamiliar with our ways.
Soldier: The clans unite to fight against foreign invaders.
Monke: Yes, such is the law of Sacae. None aided us against the Silver Wolf because it was a clan dispute. But this is a foreign invasion.
Soldier: The help from the other clans will be valuable in this fight. With such a powerful ally as Bern, however, they are expendable.
Monke: Exactly. There are some, though, who dislike the idea of involving Bern in Sacaen matters.
Soldier: I hear some clans have even joined the Silver Wolf's guerrilla force.
Monke: He is a stubborn halfwit. His clan was defeated. He should know better than to oppose us. He knows what becomes of those who try to fight against Bern.
Soldier: Bern has subdued even powerful cities like Bulgar with ease.
Monke: Yes, and if they cannot be beaten, we have no choice but to join them. This is our only path, and the law of Sacae is unbreakable.


(Outside, across the river, to the northwest)

Roy: Princess Guinivere... We are approaching Bern's army.
Guinivere: ...Yes, I know.
Roy: As we get closer, we will clash with soldiers of Bern more and more. It will not be long before we are in full combat with Bern.
Guinivere: ......
Roy: I want to ask you something before that happens.
Guinivere: Go ahead.
Roy: I have heard rumors about King Zephiel... I heard that he killed his father, the previous king.
Guinivere: !
Roy: I could scarcely believe it myself. You believe in him so strongly that you cast away your own country. If King Zephiel is truly as mad as the rumors say, I'm sure you would not have done all that you have.
Guinivere: ......
Roy: Princess Guinivere, I accepted the Fire Emblem not to use it in battle, but to find a way to end this war peacefully.
Guinivere: Roy...
Roy: I think I have a right to know the truth about the rumors...
Guinivere: I... I'm sorry. Please... give me some time.

In battle

Battle quotes

Monke enters combat

Monke: Yes... That's it! Closer... Closer... Right into our trap!

Monke enters combat with Sin

Monke: ...A survivor of the Kutolah?
Sin: Monke! Feel the wrath of the Kutolah!

Monke enters combat with Sue

Monke: You are the granddaughter of the Silver Wolf...
Sue: ......

Monke dies

Monke: Urkh...! How could you defeat us...? My trap...was...perfect...

Ending

Merlinus: That was no easy feat.
Roy: But now we've hit our enemy in Sacae hard. I'm sure that's not the last of them, though.
Merlinus: I'm sure they will retaliate.
Roy: Do you have any idea where they might be?
Merlinus: Actually, the spy I sent out earlier should be back by now. I will see if he's learned anything.

(Merlinus leaves, Guinivere enters)

Guinivere: ......
Roy: Is something wrong, Princess Guinivere?
Guinivere: ...I wish to tell you about my brother.
Roy: ...You don't mind?
Guinivere: No... I want you to know before we enter Bern... I want you to know the tragedies that have occurred. You asked before if my brother murdered our father.
Roy: Yes...?
Guinivere: To be frank... he did.
Roy: King Zephiel killed his own father to seize the throne.
Guinivere: No!
Roy: No?
Guinivere: Our father tried to kill Zephiel first.
Roy: What?! Then King Zephiel...
Guinivere: He couldn't bear the abuse he took from our father. So he...
Roy: What...? Why did-

(Merlinus returns)

Merlinus: ...Lord Roy! We've located the enemy! They're still planning their attack! Hm? ...What is the matter?
Guinivere: It is nothing... Perhaps later...

(Guinivere leaves the conversations)

Merlinus: ...Did I appear at a bad time?
Roy: No, it's fine. Where are they planning?
Merlinus: In the city of Bulgar.
Roy: Bulgar... I've heard of it.
Merlinus: It's the largest city in Sacae, but it's under Bern's control now.
Roy: I understand. We'll move as soon as we can.

Roy: ...Why did the old king try to murder his own son...?
