Professor, thank you for your help.

We drove off the thieves and got a reward from my father. Job well done, eh?

Although, I don't know how to feel about this particular reward.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I guess that's why my father tasked me with this mission.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

He wanted me to prove myself worthy of this Relic.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

This weapon, the Lance of Ruin... It killed my brother, and now it's mine.
link
Isn't that dangerous?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Not remotely. I bear the Crest of Gautier.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

The same Crest my brother wished for his whole life but never came to possess.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I spoke with my father after the battle.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

He confirmed that his intention was for me to claim the Lance of Ruin as my own.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I see why he thinks that's necessary. Still, using Miklan for that purpose...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

If he was still alive, I wonder what he'd think of that.
link
You're still thinking about your brother, aren't you?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I suppose I am...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Miklan hated me from the moment he found out I had a Crest and he didn't.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

He was selfish and egotistical. I know it's not right to say bad things about the dead, but he earned it. Even now, I'm still cleaning up his messes.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I have to wonder though... What if it was the other way around? If he had the Crest and I didn't...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Would I be the one my father thought was worth forgetting? Or would my fate have been wholly unlike his?
link
Thinking like that won't get you anywhere.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

You're probably right, Professor. It's not like me, is it?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I don't pray much...but I think I'm going to pray for those who lost their lives to the thieves tonight.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

And for all of us. I'm afraid there are more days like these coming our way.
link
Why do you say that?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Faerghus has always been a cold place. Never very well-to-do.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Until about 10 years ago, our region was a battlefield for the people of the Sreng Region to the north.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

And after the late king fell, the whole Kingdom became unstable.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

So it's no real surprise that more and more people are resorting to thievery just to survive.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

And there are those rumors of the current regent being too busy chasing the ladies to bother with governing. Don't worry, I get the irony.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

The whole damn Kingdom is in decline because of nonsense like that.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I'm hoping once we get Dimitri on the throne everything will get better.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Anyway, I'll leave it up to you to decide how you want to use our reward.

Including the Lance of Ruin. I know I can trust you with it until you think I'm ready.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

And, Professor, if I could, I'd still like to buy you a meal sometime.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Hey, come on. Aren't we friends now?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Or do you really just hate the idea of having dinner with me? Just kidding! I know you're busy.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

No, I'm just asking a friend to hang out, that's all.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Again though, thank you for everything, Professor. I couldn't have done it alone.
