Marth

Marth:
Hello, Chris. It's rare for us to meet at a place like this.

Chris:
Yes, it is, sire. Are you going somewhere?

Marth:
Yes. Beyond here... are the graves where sleep the soldiers who fell during the previous war.

Chris:
I see...

Marth:
My father among them... Many Alteans sacrificed their lives in the previous war. I couldn't save them... That's something I must never forget.

Chris:
Sire...

(If Chris is male)
Ever since I decided that being a knight

(If Chris is female)
From the day I decided that being a knight

was my goal, I was prepared to die fighting. Those who fought in the previous war... Weren't they, too, prepared to give their lives for the kingdom? It's painful, I know, but it isn't something you must brood over alone, sire...

Marth:
... Thank you. I'm happy to hear that. But I... still feel pain. When my comrades get hurt and fall, I can't help but to feel pain... Even if I'm deluding myself... I don't want to let even a single one of my comrades die.

Chris:
Sire...

Marth:
...Jagen often tells me that, too. "He who leads people must see the big picture." If one sacrifices few to save many, that was the correct decision to take. I understand that, too. But... I don't want that. Having to sacrifice someone... Maybe I'm unfit to be king... Perhaps it's a naive way to think... But, that's how I really feel. And I can't betray my feelings.

Chris:
Sire...

Marth:
Ah, sorry... I must have confused you by suddenly talking about all this.

Chris:
... No, I understand. I do understand your feelings, sire...

Marth:
Chris...?

Chris:
I don't want any of my comrades to fall, I want everyone to be alright... I think that, too. Sire... I want to help you accomplish that.

Marth:
Chris... Thank you, Chris.
