Land of the Golden Deer: After Battle

Lorenz
Your assistance in this incident with Acheron has proved most essential. Consider me in your debt.

Lorenz
Thanks to you, the Alliance was able to nip this internal conflict in the bud.

Lorenz
He has written a pledge to my father, swearing never to cause trouble about the border again.

Lorenz
Of course, he is hardly the type to bind himself in good faith to anything written on paper.

Lorenz
But Acheron has many connections, both in the Alliance and in the Empire.

Lorenz
To remove him entirely would cause more conflict. We will just have to watch him closely for now.

Lorenz
Indeed. I do plan to eliminate him eventually, however. He is nothing but trouble.

Lorenz
Incidentally, there was one other benefit to embarking upon this errand.

Lorenz
Have a look at this.

Lorenz
The magic staff, Thyrsus. A Relic passed down through House Gloucester for generations.

Lorenz
It seems my father has finally recognized my ability.

Lorenz
Apparently he had been considering entrusting this Relic to me for some time.

Lorenz
He has had precious few opportunities to take to the field of battle personally, of late.

Lorenz
Doubtless by giving this to me, he intends to send the message that I must work even harder.

Lorenz
I will certainly continue to do my utmost. But I am by no means completely subservient to his will.

Lorenz
I would not go so far as that. But my father seldom thinks beyond the immediate benefit of our house.

Lorenz
While that is important, I prefer to consider the greater good when I make decisions.

Lorenz
I believe that is a noble's duty.

Lorenz
Now, for the time being, may I trust you to decide how we may best make use of Thyrsus?

Lorenz
For the moment, I think you are in the best position to apply it to the betterment of all Fódlan.

Lorenz
To be quite honest, I am not certain I feel ready to decide the fate of a Relic on my own just yet.

Lorenz
Do me this favor, Professor, and I will be grateful. Now, to celebrate! Allow me to treat you to tea.
