## Content

Mei Ling: I was impressed. Mercenaries really are quite… brutish.

Aslan: Sometimes the simplest solution is the wisest.

Schneider: Ooh, that’s a great lesson!

Helga: That is not the lesson you should be learning here…

Alev: Father, are you okay?

Aslan: Heh, there's a lot I've felt through all this. I think that about does it for me. I just have one more thing left…

Helga: What do you mean…?

…

Helga: What on earth do you think you're doing?! Do you have no manners, you old fool?!

Aslan: Bah ha ha! Call it an expression of gratitude, or maybe my way of lettin’ you go with your new liege, hah! It’s also a bit of a test!

Charlotte: Wait, is he one of those bad people you were talking about, who repays good with evil?

Helga: No, he’s not like that… But as for what he’s thinking, I don’t—

Alev: Father! I mean, Majesty! Why are you attacking those who helped us?!

Aslan: Watch closely, me dear! You're about to see what they're made of!

"Lord": He’s made up his mind… It’d be ruse not to answer in kind!

Helga: Are you even well enough to fight, Aslan?

Aslan: Heh, it was only my mind that was muddled! My body’s still in good shape, thanks to all my continued training! I'm feelin’ great, so come at me!

Helga: There's that blind confidence again…

"Lord": Knights, don’t hold back! Defeat Aslan Valkarios!

…

Aslan: I've always rushed into the battlefield with enthusiasm and vigor. I stood on the front lines, plowin’ through spears and swords as I cut down my enemies. I built this country from the ground up to protect my companions, my family, and all those who followed me. But what would a guy who’s only fought his whole life really know about anythin’?  I've been helped by more people than I can count. Laying the country’s foundation, setting up the government, dealing with the economy, diplomacy… I never could’ve done it alone. Still, I thought I’d at least done a good job as a leader, bringing it all together. But with everything that happened to me this time, I realize just how much more I still have to go. To think, if it weren’t for the people who truly believed in me and my daughter—and that includes you all—my life would’ve ended in complete failure. It would’ve been terrible! Ha ha ha! That’s why I have one last request to make of you! Before I stand down, before I make my leave, help me to be remembered as a warrior!

Alev: Father…

"Lord": Hear that, knights?

Johan: We shall fight most honorably!

Helga: One last battle, eh, Aslan?

…

Aslan: Outstanding! You knights are genuinely impressive!

Alev: Father…

Aslan: I happily concede defeat!

Zaira: It’s hard to believe you were bedridden for so long… Your reputation as a hero is well deserved.

Helga: It’s been a while since you last let yourself have this much fun, huh?

Aslan: Now, since you were kind enough to allow me one final battle here, I’d like to give you something in return. From now on, Dakkeon is yours, "Lord".

"Lord": Are you sure…?

Aslan: I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sad at all, but I've become all too aware of my limits… I don’t think there's any reason I have to be the one leading the next generation. I've lived a long life, always doing my best every moment I could. I don’t think I could’ve done anything better. Besides, you're the one Helga’s pledged herself to. She may look like a wrinkly old grandma, but she’s not the type to ally herself with just anyone.

Helga: What’d you say, you old fool?

Aslan: If she says you're the real deal, I see no other reason why I should think any differently.

Helga: Hmph…

Aslan: I might be a little sad, but I have no regrets!

"Lord": In that case, you can leave Dakkeon in my hands. I’ll make sure your efforts won't have been in vain.

Aslan: I do have one more request, though…

Helga: You said your other request was your last one!

Aslan: T-true, but just hear me out! I'm not done just yet…

"Lord": Let’s hear it!

Aslan: Avillon’s been increasing in size and strength really quickly, so I'm sure there's a lot you can't yet oversee or handle on your own. I’d like to hand Dakkeon over to you, but can you leave Alev Valkarios here in charge?

Alev: Father…!

Aslan: We may not be related by blood, but she’s a daughter to me and I'm very proud of her. She’s been training to take over the country’s affairs, ad would do a great job with anything you give her. I'm confident she’ll be able to clean up the confusion that Dakkeon is wading through right now.

"Lord": I think so, too. She is very talented and trustworthy.

Aslan: Hear that, Alev? High praise coming from a modern-day hero!

Alev: …I thank you for your trust. I will act in such a way that my father’s honor remains unblemished.

"Lord": Now, shall we talk a little about the future? Let me start with the reason we came to Dakkeon in the first place…
