"The late queen was indeed a great person." "assuaging our mutual fears by force will only cause rifts." "The times are changing now." "I will protect Albion until this "star" of yours is found." "Continue your negotiations with them." "As you wish." "How can this be?" "!" "That passage isn't in use anymore!" "Only members of the Walsh house should know about it!" "No..." "Could it be them?" "!" "Thank you for showing the way." "We can handle the rest from here." "Your Holiness!" "Eh?" "!" " I'm coming for you!" " Eh?" "!" "Sheesh." "Talk about no sense of cooperation..." "Just making it this far with them is a miracle in itself." "Though it does look like it'd be best to split up and search now..." "I'm countin' on you guys!" "Leon-san..." "You still can't find the pope?" "!" "How can one kid be such a problem?" "!" "Intruders detected!" "They're from the Vatican..." "Secure the pope before they do!" "Scour the city completely!"

"We really don't like being locked up and used however they see fit." "You've been here all this time?" "for hundreds of years..." "We're the ones behind Albion's prosperity. and our lots in life are determined from the moment we're born." "That's just too much to bear!" "I guess there's no way to understand with just words." "Just relax for now and have some of that." "Are you scared?" "too... we would be wiped out in no time." "they'd just strike back twice as hard."

"maybe you'll become this world's star of hope..." "Star of hope?" "Your name does mean "star" in this kingdom's old language." "Dietrich!" "Dietrich!" "Its name is Pero." "But now it's sick..." "I was hoping you could bless it so it can get better soon." "M-me?" "right?" "I bet even God would listen to what you say!" "The... greatest?" "N-no..." "I'm... not great at all..." "Mr. Pope?" "I'm... not great at all." "Everyone always scolds me and makes fun of me..." "There are people who bully you?" "Do you want me to make 'em pay?" "Eh?" "The pope is the person chosen by God!" "I'll make them pay!" "Chosen... by God?" "May the Lord's blessing be with thee..." "Amen." "Mr. Pope!" "I'll give him some antibiotics later!" "Mr. Pope!" "I'll take you to my secret place!" "Eh?"

"They aren't bad people!" "They're just making a stand after seeing everyone's suffering... old man!" "I ain't an old man!" "Things are too big this time." "I'm just a minor figure." "There's a limit to what I can do." "But..." "First comes taking back the pope." "We can figure out the rest after that." "Thanks for the help!" "See ya!" "too." "Yeah."
