Level 40 quote

I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate everything you've done for me. Thanks to you, I've gotten much stronger. I may be a descendant of one of the crusaders, but... I can't wield our family's divine weapon, and I'm not even close to matching my father's strength. I've been frustrated by this for a long time...so much so that I've made some very stupid mistakes. I have learned one thing—you don't get strong overnight. I've got no choice but to keep inching forward... And I want to continue to fight by your side. That's how I'll learn what true strength is. What I want more than anything is the ability to protect those who matter most to me.

At the castle

I am Leif of Leonster. I have come to participate in the Day of the Twelve celebrations, joined by Lord Seliph.
— When summoned, in Heroes.
Lord Seliph's garb is connected to the crusader Baldr while mine is based on the crusader Njörun.
— Leif, at the castle.
During desperate times, people hope for a savior... This festival in honor of the crusaders must have been started by people who knew the sting of that hope.
— Seliph, at the castle.
A tournament is being held for the festival and, though it's all in sport, everyone is taking it seriously. Myself included, of course.
— Leif, at the castle.
I felt awkward wearing the outfit of Baldr like a costume—but I've grown more comfortable as I've worn it.
— Seliph, at the castle.
Lord Seliph and I were just about to begin our training session. Would you like to join us?
— Leif, at the castle.
We are in the midst of a festival at <friend>'s castle!

Duo Conversation

Leif: A bow, huh...
Seliph: Is something the matter, Prince Leif?
Leif: Ah, Lord Seliph... Well, I was given a bow to use for the festival tournament. But because this festival is in honor of the 12 crusaders, I was hoping to wield a lance.
Seliph: To emulate your ancestor Njörun, I presume.
Leif: Exactly. Altena has a much...stronger connection to her, though. When I see my older sister astride a wyvern, wielding the Gáe Bolg... I cannot help but think she is like Njörun reborn. I'm envious of that, I have to admit. I wish I could carry a divine weapon into battle.
Seliph: This envy serves no purpose, Prince Leif. There will always be something one cannot do. The crusaders' blood is in my veins as well, and yet I cannot use magic the way Julia does.
Leif: That's true...
Seliph: Even without a divine weapon, your contribution has been great. All are thankful, myself included. And with the battles you've endured...there can be no doubt your achievements are worthy of the crusaders of yore.
Leif: It means a lot to hear you say that. You're right. I should focus on making the most of what I do have, rather than dwelling on what I don't.
Seliph: Precisely. Now, I'll be looking forward to seeing what you can do with that bow in the tournament.
Leif: I won't let you down, Lord Seliph.

— Duo conversation

Level 40 quote

Leif: Members of the liberation army gathered at the Tower of Dahna and made blood contracts with the gods... And so they were able to defeat the forces of Loptous...
Seliph: Together, they founded Grannvale itself and its six duchies, along with the five kingdoms. But in time...the servants of light and dark came to fight once more.
Leif: We gained allies, grieved those we lost, learned of bravery and the importance of building peace.
Seliph: If those descended from crusaders were to indulge in the power granted to them by their Brand... I believe they would be no better than Deadlords.
Leif: A crusader's power is to be wielded to aid the powerless. We must not forget that. We must not allow our descendants to forget either.Seliph: Indeed. A battle between dragons, white and black... A battle that will last into ages unknown. But we do know that we have inherited the light of the crusaders, and that is enough direction.
Leif: We must continue to follow that light. We cannot lose sight of it as our world enters a new age!
