*Sirius: Whew... I think that did it.
*Sirius: I thought it seemed like the enemies were thin on the ground here. I guess that was your doing.
 	
*Radia: Yes...
 	
*Radia: ...but there were too many of them for me to handle them all.
 	
*Sirius: At the moment, we're holding off the God Army attacks on the main and east gates...
*Sirius: ...but it seems as though more enemies are getting in from the breached west gate than we anticipated.
 	
*Radia: Indeed.
 	
*Radia: By the way, why are you here, Sirius?
 	
*Sirius: Oh, I'm...on my way to the palace.
 	
*Radia: The palace?
 	
*Sirius: I'm telling you this because you'll probably hear it anyway, even if I try to hide it...
 	
*Sirius: ...but there are rumors that father has vanished from the palace.
 	
*Radia: What?!
 	
*Sirius: I hope they're not true, but...
 	
*Sirius: ...even so, I'm on my way to find out the truth.
 	
*Radia: Hey, Sirius?
 	
*Radia: What were father and Selvia planning?
 	
*Sirius: ...!
 	
*Sirius: Wh-What are you talking about?!
 	
*Radia: Well, I know that much.
*Radia: I knew that father and Selvia were doing something in extreme secrecy.
 	
*Radia: And I knew that you were getting caught up in it, Sirius.
*Radia: But in the end, I didn't manage to find out what the plan was actually for.
 	
*Sirius: ......
 	
*Radia: Come on, tell me! You know, don't you?!
*Radia: I'm a member of the Imperial Family, too! I have a right to know!
 	
*Sirius: Radia, you're right. You deserve to know.

*Sirius: Father was attempting to gain a new power...
*Sirius: ...in order to fight against the gods, and protect the Bariura Empire.
 	
*Radia: A new power?!
 	
*Sirius: Apparently, there's a divine beast with the power to seal gods on a certain otherworldly plane.
*Sirius: He intends to travel to that world and tame the beast.
*Sirius: Or...at the very least, he intends to take its power.
*Sirius: He also plans to return here afterwards, and to destroy the God Army with its power.
 	
*Radia: The power to seal gods?
 	
*Radia: Could he really gain that so easily?
 	
*Sirius: No, he probably couldn't.
 	
*Sirius: It could take two or three years, or even longer.
 	
*Radia: Unbelievable!
 	
*Radia: Then what happens to the people here in that time?!
 	
*Sirius: Well, as our elder sister said...
*Sirius: Even if all of the civilians here perish...
*Sirius: ...so long as we members of the Bariura Imperial Family live on, we can rebuild the Empire.
*Sirius: She also said that it's the only way we have left to protect the Empire under the circumstances.
 	
*Radia: ......
 	
*Radia: That seems like something that Selvia...or rather, that Father would say.
 	
*Sirius: ......
 	
*Radia: What do you intend to do, Sirius? Will you go with Father?
 	
*Sirius: I'm not sure.
 	
*Sirius: I just wish I could find a way to protect the people, and to defend the Empire from the God Army.
 	
*Radia: ......
 	
*Sirius: Regardless, I have to get to the palace to see what's really happening in there.
 	
*Sirius: If Father and the others haven't left for the other world yet...
*Sirius: ...then I'll try again to persuade them to find another way.
 	
*Radia: I see...
 	
*Sirius: What will you do?
 	
*Radia: I'll do... Or rather, what I must do won't change, regardless of father's intentions.
 	
*Radia: We of the Bariura Imperial Family have upheld the Empire so far by oppressing our people.
 	
*Radia: And that's precisely why I can't turn my back on them now...not in my position.
 	
*Radia: Even if that means that I will die beside them.
 	
*Sirius: Very well. I understand how you feel.
*Sirius: Then there's really nothing more I can say.
 	
*Sirius: But since you're staying, please help Berdette. She's just over that way.
*Sirius: She's also fighting for the people, all by herself.
 	
*Radia: Yes, I'll do that.
 	
*Radia: By the way, I just heard that a powerful disciple has entered the city.
 	
*Radia: If you're going to keep heading that way, be careful.
 	
*Sirius: I will. Thank you.
