Level 40 quote

Altea, where I was raised, is the home of the legendary hero Anri. Most children there hope to grow up to be knights to be more like he was. Even when I was younger, I always preferred reading to roughhousing. So magic became my path. Prince Marth and Princess Elice have always supported me, which led me to continue my studies in Khadein. I'll learn powerful magic and become a proper mage. For the good of Altea! ...And my experience here will aid me. As long as it means I can see Princess Elice smiling, I will do what it takes to protect Prince Marth, as is my duty!

Level 40 quote

MID_MARICH_BLOOM01_STRONGEST: My homeland, Altea, has recovered from the brink of annihilation thanks to Prince Marth and his efforts. I have no doubt he will end the war and bring peace to the land. And I wish to aid him as best I can. Likewise, I wish to stay by Princess Elice's side, forever, so she is never alone or without protection. I plan to establish a new school of magic like Khadein's once the war is over and certain matters are resolved. It'll keep me busy, and Princess Elice waiting, but it'll all be worth it to address her as my partner. What's that? That'll make me Prince Marth's brother-in-law? That's right! I hadn't considered that. H-how should I approach him? This could be more challenging than mastering a new magical technique!
