Base conversations
Free company
Marth:
Chris, about the free company defending Chiasmir bridge
northwest...
Chris:
Yes, sire?
Marth:
I'd like you to leave them alone. Their leader is Astram, hero of
Archanea. He wields the sword Mercurius, one of the three regalia,
and is one of the strongest men in the continent.
(If Chris is male)
Chris:
I see... He sounds like a truly powerful opponent.
(If Chris is female)
Chris:
A powerful opponent, I see.
Marth:
That isn't the only reason why I don't wish to fight him. In the
previous war, Astram was our ally. He's a very serious and
loyal person--his devotion to Princess Nyna unmatched.
Astram:
...Forgive my lack of courtesy, but you and I need to be clear on a
certain point. While I have decided to lend you my sword, my
allegiance lies with Princess Nyna- not you, my lord. I will follow
your orders, but should I learn you have been false to her, or that
you are manipulating her... Heads will roll.
Marth:
I do not think we can persuade him. At least, not now... I'd
rather not fight him unless necessary. Chris, I'd like you to avoid
battle with him as well, if possible.
Chris:
Yes, understood. However, should your life be in danger, sire...
(If Chris is male)
I will fight. No matter how powerful that opponent might be.
(If Chris is female)
I'll do anything to protect you.
