Throne of Knowledge/Script

=Conflict in the Holy Tomb=

Metodey
(With anyone)
 * Metodey: I'm told it's fine to kill those who resist. Now then, how shall I cook you?

(When defeated)
 * Metodey: Wait... No! I was just following orders! I just... Graaargh!

Flame Emperor
(With Byleth) (With Claude) (Anyone else)
 * Flame Emperor: You are the one person I did not wish to make an enemy of...
 * Claude: So, you're the fabled Flame Emperor? Go ahead and enlighten me. What are you planning to do with the Crest Stones?
 * Claude: What did you use Flayn's blood for? Who's Kronya? Who's Solon?
 * Flame Emperor: Silence. There is no need for you to know.
 * Claude: Is it that mask that's to blame for your courtness? If so, maybe I should rip it off and ask again.
 * Flame Emperor: You wish to interfere? Then your life is forfeit.

(When defeated) (Golden Deer)
 * Edelgard: So the end has come...
 * Claude: Is this some sick joke? The Flame Emperor is actually Edelgard?!

=Chapter End=
 * Rhea: You have disappointed me, Edelgard.
 * Rhea: To think that a descendant of House Hresvelg would dare betray the holy church...
 * Rhea: Professor. Kill Edelgard at once.
 * Rhea: She is a danger to all of Fódlan. Such a rebellious heart cannot be allowed to keep beating.
 * Edelgard: I have achieved my objective. I will retreat.
 * Edelgard: Farewell, Professor. If we meet again, it will be on the battlefield.
 * Hubert teleports besides Edelgard
 * Edelgard: Come, Hubert!
 * Hubert and Edelgard teleport away
 * Rhea: To flee is futile, wicked girl. The Church of Seiros will raise it's entire army against you until you have been captured and punished!
 * Rhea: You have defiled the Holy Tomb, dishonored the goddess, and humiliated your brethren.
 * Rhea: That crime will never be erased, even if you burn in the eternal flames and spill all of your blood into the goddess's soil.
 * Rhea: Come, Professor. Let us return and decide upon our next course of action.
 * Byleth nods, and Rhea leaves.

(Golden Deer)
 * Claude: I'm not exactly on friendly terms with the princess, but I do have a few questions for her.
 * Claude: Edelgard said that the Crest Stones represent power. That means she knows how to use them.
 * Claude: She almost certainly knows other secrets of Fódlan as well...
 * Claude: Once things calm down a bit, there's a lot more that Rhea needs to tell us.
 * Byleth nods
 * Claude: I just hope there's still time. I have this strange feeling...
 * Claude: that history is being written. That an age or anarchy is upon us. Let's hope I'm mistaken.

Imperial Palace (Enbar, the Imperial Capital) Daytime
 * Edelgard: The leaders of the church have misused its creed to fulfill their true desire - to rule the world. They have fooled the people of Fódlan.
 * Edelgard: Long ago, they divided the Empire to create a Kingdom, and then... divided that Kingdom to create an Alliance.
 * Edelgard: They did all of this to make the masses bicker amongst themselves. They caused instability in order to reinforce their own authority.
 * Edelgard: They gathered gold and lived in extravagance. How? By preying on the devotion of those who wished for the goddess's salvation.
 * Edelgard: Those corrupt hypocrites cannot lead Fódlan to true peace. Their foul belief system must be torn asunder so that true wisdom may finally prevail!
 * Edelgard: And so, I have decided...
 * Edelgard: By order of the Adrestian Emperor, Edelgard von Hresvelg...
 * Edelgard: The Empire hereby declares war on the Church of Seiros!

Audience Chamber Daytime
 * Seteth: I cannot believe it...
 * Seteth: Let us recount the situation as it stands, Professor. After you returned from the Holy Tomb...
 * Seteth: The Adrestian Empire declared war upon the Church of Seiros, as well as our allies.
 * Belyth: Declared war?
 * Seteth: Edelgard demanded her own father relinquish the throne, and then assumed the position of emperor.
 * Seteth: She has deemed the Church of Sieros to be an evil of this world, and is calling upon the people of Fódlan to help her tear it down.
 * Seteth: I must discuss our response to this declaration with the archbishop after the knights return from their investigation.
 * Seteth: Until then, watch over the students. See that they remain calm.

Golden Deer Classroom Daytime
 * Claude: I heard what happened, Teach. The princess... Well, the emperor now. She really did it, didn't she?
 * Claude: The lords and dukes of both the Kingdom and the Alliance have been called out, and now have to choose between the church and the Empire.
 * Claude: The seed of conflict was always there, and now we find ourselves in the middle of a war that will tear Fódlan in two.
 * Lysithea: The Empire is rash, but I never thought it would come to this.
 * Leonie: How could something like this happen? I hope everyone back home is safe.
 * Hilda: I'm sure it's mass confusion at home right now. My brother must be worried sick about me.
 * Byleth: Only time will tell.
 * Byleth: Let's calm down.
 * Claude: You're absolutely right, Teach. I'm sure a lot of us are worried about our homes, but...
 * Claude: All we can do now is prepare for battle... and tread carefully.
