“	March on! March, minions of the Demon King! Your time is upon you! Tonight, we claim not only Pontifex Mansel's sad life, but also Rausten's Sacred Stone!	”	— Riev

Plot

Main articles: Last Hope/Script (Eirika) and Last Hope/Script (Ephraim)

When the group reaches Rausten Court, L'Arachel reunites with Pontifex Mansel, her uncle. Eirika and Ephraim introduce themselves, and inform Mansel of the circumstances of Magvel and the Demon King. Mansel contemplates the situation, and decides to grant L'Arachel Rausten's Sacred Stone; however, in response to her haste to take it with her, he suggests they stay and rest, to which they accept.

In Eirika's route, L'Arachel consoles Eirika over her encounter with the Demon King; L'Arachel states that Lyon cannot be saved, but asks what he would have wanted her to do, then suggests they go eat. In Ephraim's route, Tana consoles Ephraim if she is alive; Ephraim attempts to push her away, but Tana refuses to let her bonds with Ephraim and Eirika break, and Ephraim realizes he got as far as he did with his friends. If Tana is dead, L'Arachel consoles Ephraim instead; Ephraim refuses to show weakness and intends to keep his thoughts about Lyon to himself—L'Arachel states that some burdens must be shared, and Ephraim agrees and thanks her for speaking with him.

At the entrance of Rausten Court, a soldier is on patrol at night; Riev begins to taunt him from the darkness before a Grado soldier attacks and kills him, and Riev begins an assault on Rausten. Another soldier informs Mansel of the siege; L'Arachel volunteers her and her company to defend the castle, and they begin a battle.

As the battle begins, Riev orders his soldiers to take Rausten and destroy its Sacred Stone, and he relishes his opportunity to wreak vengeance upon Mansel for excommunicating him. The twins resolve themselves to face Lyon and the Demon King in an upcoming battle.

Once the invasion is repelled, the twins celebrate their victory. In Eirika's route, she thanks L'Arachel for her encouragement earlier; In Ephraim's route, he thanks Tana for her words, or L'Arachel's for hers if Tana is dead. L'Arachel then takes them to the Sacred Stone chamber and retrieves Rausten's Stone; Eirika and Myrrh suggest they make haste, and the group leave. Before the group can exit Rausten Court, however, Mansel stops them; he grants them Rausten's Sacred Twin relics, though he asks they be returned once the Demon King is defeated. Additionally, if at least four of the NPC Knights survived the battle, L'Arachel complements the soldiers' performance and requests their continued defense of her uncle, and they grant the twins a Light Brand.
