Kingdom of Archanea

Frey: Continuing from the previous lecture, today's lecture is about the Kingdom of Archanea. Today is an exceptional day, for Prince Marth will speak to you. If you would, sire.
Marth: Archanea, was it? The Kingdom of Archanea is technically Altea's suzerain nation. Princess Nyna is the last of their royal line, and there was debate as to decide who would rule Archanea, but I hear Hardin was crowned Emperor of Archanea soon after.
Katarina: ... What kind of person is Emperor Hardin?
Marth: He's a wonderful person. In the previous war, Hardin was a precious ally of ours. As King Aurelis's younger brother, he fought to protect Princess Nyna, who had escaped to the Lea of Aurelis.
(Flashback starts)
Hardin: Tsk, Princess Nyna would not be pleased to hear us nitpicking over who will be listed in the history books. Take command, so we can oust this Macedonian scum and be done with it.
Marth: Lord Hardin, thank you. That is an honor. If you don't mind me saying so... I feel as though I've made a good friend. We share the same ideals, I think.
(Flashback ends)
Marth: Hardin is well qualified to be emperor. If he puts Archanea into order, I'm sure everything will go well.
Katarina: ...

Cecil

Cecil: Let me introduce myself again. I am Cecille, junior knight of the former 9th Platoon. I'd like to make it clear that I'll show no mercy for those who underestimate me because I'm a woman!
Luke: Sigh. I wish our female knight was a sexy, big sister type... When we finally get another girl... Why is it Cecil–the 9th platoon's infamous violent girl–of all people?
Cecil: You little... Who's the violent girl!? Take this! And this!
Luke: Yikes, w-wait! Please don't hit me! B-be gentle...

If Kris is male

Kris: Sorry. I apologize for Luke's rudeness.
Cecil: Good grief. If you say so, Commander Kris. I'm your subordinate from now on, anyway.

If Kris is female

Kris: Sorry. I apologize for Luke's rudeness. He can be such a troublesome guy...
Cecil: Commander Kris, I think you and I are going to get along very well.

Cecil: Since I've joined this platoon, I'll fight under you. My life is in your hands.

Katarina

If Kris is male

Katarina: ... ...
Kris: Katarina, what are you doing here?
Katarina: Oh, Kris...!
Kris: I was looking for you. Let's go, it's almost time for the final test... Huh?! Katarina, are you crying?
Katarina: Oh... err... this is... It's nothing...
Kris: What happened? Please tell me. Did anyone do anything to you? We're friends. I won't let someone who made you cry get away with it.
Katarina: Kris... No, that wasn't it. I'm... just sad... I'll tell you the reason later... So, let's hurry to the test. I'm alright now.
Kris: Are you really alright?
Katarina: Yes... Your feelings alone are enough for me. Thank you, Kris...

If Kris is female

Katarina: ... ...
Kris: Katarina, what are you doing here?
Katarina: Oh, Kris...!
Kris: I was looking for you. Let's go, it's almost time for the final test... Huh?! Katarina, are you crying?
Katarina: Oh... err... this is... It's nothing...
Kris: What happened? You can tell me. Did anyone do anything to you? We're friends. I won't let someone who made you cry get away with it.
Katarina: Kris... No, that wasn't it. I'm... just sad... I'll tell you the reason later... So, let's hurry to the test. I'm alright now.
Kris: Are you really alright?
Katarina: Yes... Your feelings alone are enough for me. Thank you, Kris...

Marth

Marth: Hello, Kris. It's rare for us to meet at a place like this.
Kris: 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.
Kris: 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.
Kris: Sire...
(If Kris is male)
Ever since I decided that being a knight
(If Kris 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.
Kris: 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.
Kris: Sire...
Marth: Ah, sorry... I must have confused you by suddenly talking about all this.
Kris: ... No, I understand. I do understand your feelings, sire...
Marth: Kris...?
Kris: 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: Kris... Thank you, Kris.
