"So is everybody this lonely when they're in love?" "They embrace a pain that's deeper than the shadows?" "It's all to make us shine, I just know it..." "I loveyou, I loveyou," "I gaze atyou with my heart..." "I believe in you, I believe in you, even on the coldest ofnights." "I call out toyou with my tears, but I don't need any promises..." "That's the precious strength you've given to me..." "I have heard what happened." "Fanelia, As a fellow leader ofmen, I offer my sympathies for the disaster that has befallen your country." "I thankyou, Duke Freid." "We are already aware ofZaibach's activities." "For that reason, I have hurried back to our capital, Godashim." "However..." "Allen!" "It is shameful for a knight to abandon his country, no matter the reason!" "To disobey the word of one's lord is treason!" "Doyou think that Freid has any use for such an immoral ruffian?" "Wait!" "Allen and his companions risked their lives for our country!" "They discovered their Doppelganger!" "They fought offtheir scouts!" "Silence!" "You're far too young to offer advice!" "Your actions mayverywell lead to our destruction!" "Wait!" "Princess Millerna..." "Millerna?" "Princess, I will speakwith you later." "Please forgive my interruption, Brother." "No, I don't have the right to call you that anymore." "I have abandoned my country, as well." "Majesty, Zaibach's actions are sheer madness." "They intend to plunge all of Gaea into the chaos ofwar." "Theywill not stop withjust Fanelia." "What's more, their next target is Freid!" "It's unfortunate, but Father... no, King Aston... intends to do nothing." "He says it is in Asturia's best interest." "But when all ofGaea has fallen underZaibach's control, will Asturia alone be left in peace?" "To prevent this, Allen..." "Allen Schezar came alone to Freid." "Duke, please see it in your heart to forgive Allen!" "Princess Millerna..." "You've been raised well." "You are wise and magnanimous." "Asturia has produced a fine princess." "Allen!" "Will youjoin my soldiers and fight Zaibach at our side?" "I place my life in your hands, Majesty." "I like that bold look in your eye." "I expect nothing but the best from you!" "Yes, Majesty." "That's Chid's father...?" "A girl from the Mystic Moon?" "Yes." "She seems to have seen through our Guymelefs' Stealth Cloaks, pointing out their location." "Reports also say that she guides the dragon by predicting the future." "Magnificent." "Lord?" "Thispowerthatcan confoundmy Destiny Prognostication Engine..." "I want toseeit!" "Yes, Lord." "Earth..." "I remember it from so long ago..." "Good, yourwound is closing up." "Allen, I don't care about Asturia or Freid." "just so long as you're safe." "What'cha doin'?" "N-Nothing!" "Allen!" "Has Hitomi been by here?" "No, I haven't seen her." "Oh." "Sorry I bothered you." "I can't take it anymore!" "Why?" "Why do I keep seeing it?" "I could never get bored, watching you." "You could never understand how I feel." ""Oh, I can't take it anymore!" "Why?" "Why do I keep seeing it?"" ""Why, oh why?"" "Aw, you're no fun..." "Lord Van wants to seeyou!" "Damn, this thing's a mess!" "You're too rough on this sword, yer Majesty!" "Really?" "Yeah!" "Now, Scherazade's sword ain't got a scratch on it!" "Well excuse me!" "I'm not as good with a sword as Allen is, okay?" "Nowyou'rejust bein' snarky, yer Majesty." "He's lying." "The Commander's sword has a few nicks in it." "Not as many as yours, though." "Lord Van!" "Hitomi!" "You wanted to see me?" "Yeah." "I need your help." "Oh, I don't wantyou to go into battle or anything." "You can see the future and sense where invisible targets are." "I was hoping you could use that power to tell us what direction Zaibach's going to attack from." "Hey, that's a great idea!" "Ifit works, we may be able to scatter them before they can attack." "Yeah, the little lady'd be like our goddess ofvictory!" "No." "No way." "Hitomi?" "I won't." "I don't want to see it." "Don't use me like I'm some tool." "On Earth, I was just a normal girl..." "My readings werejust a little more accurate than other people's." "But since I came to Gaea, they're so accurate it's scary, and I keep having horrible visions!" "I..." "Hitomi..." "Stop counting on me!" "Don't make me do any more readings!" "Don't make me have those horrible visions!" "Please!" "Hitomi!" "What's with her?" "Doareading forme, Hitomi!" "Do myboyfriendandIbelong together?" "No way!" "Me first!" "Right, Hitomi?" "WhenshouldI tellhim Ilikehim?" "Yourpredictionsalmost always come true, Hitomi!" "I'm countingonyou, Hitomi!" "Fortune-telling wasjust a game..." "So make it stop..." "The predictions and the visions..." "Make it stop." "Duke Freid...!" "Princess Millerna?" "What is this place?" "It was a villa that Marlene used when she was alive." "I had this building she used before she came here as mywife brought here and rebuilt." "Amazing!" "It'sjust like it used to be at the palace!" "Yes." "It's exactly the same." "Please feel free to use these rooms during your stay here." "I'm sure Marlene would have liked that." "Hm?" "Hey, this is..." "I remember this...!" "You're leaving, aren'tyou, Sister?" "Millerna..." "Princess Marlene." "It's time." "Sister!" "Be happy!" "Sister..." "What's this?" "Hitomi?" "Can'tyou sleep?" "Prince Chid!" "I feel like ifI went to sleep now, I'd neverwake up again." "Me too." "No matter how hard I try to sleep, I keep thinking about war, and I can't stop shaking." "It'sjust like Father says." "I don't have what it takes to be duke." "Stop countingonme!" "I can never be like Father." "Motherwanted me to be a good ruler." "That's why she used to tell me stories about Allen." "But I..." "I'll never live up to Mother and Father's expectations." "Prince Chid..." "You know, people have an amazing ability." "My grandmother told me about it." "You should keep thinking, "I wish I were--" or "I want to be--"." "Ifyou do, those wishes will come true." "Yourwishes will come true?" "It's true, don'tyou think?" "Ifyou keep thinking, "I wish I were--", you'll work towards that goal." "You'll tryyour hardest." "But ifyou tell yourself "It's hopeless," or "I can't do it,"" "or " My dreams will never come true," that's what's going to happen." "Ifyou wish hard enough, that wish will eventually reach the stars, and they'll giveyou the last oftheir power." "The power ofthe stars..." "I'll do a reading foryou, Prince Chid!" "I'll ask the stars!" "Tarot cards use the power of the stars to see the future." "I'll tell you your future, Prince Chid!" ""Yellow, 34th moon..."" "" Uncle Nueva brought me to see a tournament today."" "I thinkhe's worriedthatIspend toomuch timein myroom, butI'm not theleastbit interestedin fighting."

"General Adelphos, I would be honored ifyou would give the order to begin." "Verywell." "All ships are in formation!" "Excellent." "The time has come!" "The grace ofthe gods is with us!" "All forces, launch!" "Army of Bronze!" "Forward!" "Army ofIron!" "Launch!" "Army ofSilver!" "Launch!" "Look at all those Guymelefs!" "Majesty, the enemy has taken up positions in all four directions." "They number roughly 55,000." "They also have some 1 0,000 Guymelefs." "That is far too many for a mere siege." "Voris, doyou accept the duty of those who are born in Freid?" "This is a fine day forwhat is written in the Book of Lions." "The Book of Lions?" "Get to the palace gates!" "Hurry!" "Lord Van!" "Merle!" "Take care of Hitomi!" "Lord Van..." "Lord Van..." "Make it back alive..." "Gaddes, take up position above the castle in the Crusade." "I'll head out in Scherezade." "Yes, sir!" "Allen!"
