(Seteth) Rhea, please talk to me. What are you hiding? What is the meaning of how that one and her sister looks? It is almost as though.

(Rhea) As I said, there is nothing of which to speak. For now. At the end of this month.

(Seteth) I read Jeralt's diary. I happened upon it in his room.

(Rhea) What?

(Seteth) In it, he stated the reason for his departure. The baby thought to have died in the fire, has returned to us. Jeralt realized that you have done something to the child and decided to flee. What did you do to that baby? Nothing; questionable, I should hope.

(Rhea) Seteth, enough. They will be here shortly. No more, I beg you. I will take our dear Byleth to the holy tomb. There I should be able to see our dearest wishes come to fruition.

"A knock could be heard"

You may enter

"Byleth and edelgard enter"

I have been awaiting your arrival Byleth. Now that you have received sacred power from the goddess, there is somewhere you must pay a visit to at once. You must go to the holy tomb to receive divine revelation from the goddess.

(Byleth) The holy tomb?

(Seteth) The Holy Tomb is where the goddess sleeps. This monastery was originally built for the purpose of protecting that hallowed temple.

(Rhea) Only a select few know of it, but there is a legend about Seiros and the Holy Tomb. Saint Seiros, the first soul to be gifted power from the goddess, received her revelation there.

She was told it was her sacred duty to save the people of Fódlan, and that she must use her power wisely in order to lead them. The words that were handed down to Seiros from the goddess will likely fall upon your ears as well.

(Seteth) Prepare yourself to go at once. There, may you find out why bolth of you were blessed with such power.

(Rhea) There will be a ceremony at the Holy Tomb. It is then that you will receive the goddess's revelation. You may share this mission with the rest of the black Eagles.

(Edelgard) A mission? Now?

(Rhea) It is said that when Seiros received the revelation, she had holy warriors by her side, protecting her. Your fellow students, who have followed, and fought alongside you through the darkest of times, are well suited to stand by you for the ceremony. Of course, as the leader of the Church of Seiros, I will be by your side as well.

(Byleth) Isn't that too dangerous?

(Rhea) The Holy Tomb is a sacred temple that is sealed off from the rest of the world. There is nothing to fear.

Even if something were to happen, I am more than capable of protecting myself.

(Seteth) Much has changed, but your duty has not wavered. Steel your mind for the ceremony.

(Edelgard) Actually Rhea there's something we need to tell you something has come up and we need to travel to Enberr.

(Rhea) I understand, but for your safety Seteth shall go with you.
