(Y/N): We're back!
Yang: And a lot of shit is going to happen in this one!
Ruby: You bet! We'll join a high school group called the Phantom Thieves, meet a legendary soldier, fight against a tyrannical empire, meet Eliwood's son, and who knows wha...
You were determined to rescue Lilina, and so was Roy, though right now, you guys would have to pass through Laus, which was now ruled by Erik, the son of Darin, the Marquess who was corrupted by Nergal.
Inside Castle Laus...
Erik meets up with Narcian.
Erik: Ah, welcome, General Narcian.
Narcian: Lord Erik. I don't think I've yet praised your wisdom in joining Bern.
Erik: Thank you, sir. Ancient vows and traditions are nothing more than a burden anyway.
Narcian: You, my friend, are wise beyond your years. Now, where is that gift you promised me? She does not seem to be here.
Erik: Ah, yes! She is in her quarters. She is exceedingly naive, you see. When I told her she could meet her brother, she cooperated without question. You there! Bring her here!

Clarine (Louise and Pent's daughter!)
Clarine: What is this hall? Klein? Where are you, Brother?
Narcian: Welcome, Lady Clarine.
Clarine: Who might you be?
Narcian: I am Narcian, one of Bern's three Wyvern Generals. My lovely little lass, I think you will enjoy my company more than your brother's... Hm hm hm...
Clarine: Heh... Ha ha ha!
Narcian: What? Why do you laugh?
Clarine: You compare yourself to my brother? You think too highly of yourself. Your garb, your hair - even your speech... All a painfully obvious guise to hide your true lowborn face.
Narcian: Lowborn?! Me?! You would compare ME to a peasant?!
Clarine: Oh, heavens no. I would sooner compare you to a filthy, disease-ridden mutt!
Narcian: Y-you vermin!! I'll see you suffer!
He slapped her and had her dragged off.
Just then a soldier came forth.
Soldier: General Narcian, we just received word that Castle Araphen was retaken by the enemy!
Narcian: What?! Impossible! What of Slater?
Soldier: Err... His whereabouts are unknown, sire. The enemy is reported to be Roy, son of Marquess Pherae.
Clarine: ......
Narcian: Accursed interruptions! Lord Erik, lock the girl in a cell. I will give her the pleasure of my company when I return! You, blockade the high road from Ostia. This Roy might just pass by. I want his head!
Soldier: Yes, sire!
Soon...
The party found the castle and-
Yang: OKAY YOU BERN BASTARDS! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!
Blake: Easy. We can't just go in like that.
Pyrrha: Huh? It seems that someone is nearby.
A man with a sword appeared and cut down a Laus Soldier!
(Y/N): What the?!

Pyrrha: Who are you?
Rutger: My name is Rutger. Tell me, are you with or against Bern?
Nora: What's you game, buddy?
Rutger: I, despite Bern with all my heart, I will make them regret their actions.
(Y/N): Well, we're against Bern.
Rutger: Very well then. Let's go.
Rutger lead you guys to the castle as Clarine began to break free.
Clarine: AHA! You people there!
(Y/N): Us?
Clarine: Yes, you people. Protect me.
Everyone: HUH?!
Clarine: I just escaped, and I need protection.
(Y/N): Can you do anything?
Clarine: I am skilled in healing and offensive magic.
(Y/N): Good! Then we need your help!
With Clarine and Rutger's help, everyone was able to take down more of the Bern and Laus forces until-
Erik: YOU!!
(Y/N): Huh? Who are you?
Erik: You don't remember? You killed my father, (Y/N) (L/N)!
(Y/N): Wait, this is Laus, so- YOU'RE DARIN'S SON?! THAT TWERP?!
Erik: SURPRISED?!
(Y/N): (Sigh) Then this is going to be easy.
You punched him right in the chest and then knocked him out!
(Y/N): You're just as pathetic as you were back then.
Soon...
Guinevere: (Y/N)?
(Y/N): Bern is literally pulling all the stops! Turning Laus on Lycia? ARGH!
Guinevere: ...I apologize.
(Y/N): It's not your fault. But it's clear that we can't trust the other Lycian Lords.
Guinevere: My brother is wrong. He is pulling the dragons into a human war. If he thinks this is how he can free the world, I must stop him.
(Y/N): Free the world?
Guinevere: Yes, he has always been obsessed with "liberating the world." He said that's the purpose of this war.
(Y/N): What does that mean?
Guinevere: I do not know... My brother is not so power-hungry that he would attempt to conquer the world. I'm sure he believes strongly in what he's done to Elibe. Regardless, that doesn't excuse the violence he has caused...
