Embracing Fate/Marcia: Petulant Knight

Marcia: Petulant Knight - C

Balthus	Another loss? Why can’t I win?! One more round! I’ll definitely win this time, just you watch!
Baltie, shouldn’t you just call it quits at this point? You’ve already burned through all your money.		Hilda
Balthus	The battle may be over, but the war rages on! Beside, I’m gonna turn it around any second now!
This is giving me a serious case of déjà vu...		Hilda
Marcia	Hmm... Looks like the Order of Heroes will recruit just about anyone—even when they spend all their time gambling... *sigh* Where are you now, Brother? I ended up coming to Askr before I could track you down, and...I’m worried. For all sorts of reasons.
What’s wrong, Marcia? Is something on your mind? Oh, could it be that you’re tired from training all day?		Fjorm
Marcia	P-Princess Fjorm?! Deputy Commander Tanith might be as strict as they come, but I can handle all her training, no problem! Only... Well, I’ve been worried lately. It’s, umm...sort of a family problem...

Marcia: Petulant Knight - B

Fjorm	Seeing Balthus and Hilda reminded you of your brother... If I may, I think I might understand why. Oh! But first, those two are not actually related. They’re just childhood friends.
Ch-childhood friends? They sounded just like me and my brother, so I assumed they were siblings.		Marcia
Fjorm	Really? Then does that mean...
It’s...probably not an exaggeration to say that gambling is my brother’s favorite thing in the world. Even when he has no chance at all of winning, he’ll put all the money he has into a bet... ...And then, when he inevitably loses, he’ll just go and borrow even MORE money so he can keep on playing. He did that so many times that debt collectors started hanging around the barracks, hoping I’d pay off his debts.		Marcia
Fjorm	If my memory serves me, you are a member of Begnion’s Holy Guard, right?
I was, yeah... But ultimately, I just couldn’t take the debt collectors’ badgering. So I left the Holy Guard.		Marcia
Fjorm	O-oh...
I went on a journey to search for my brother, since he had gone missing. That’s when I met Ike and his crew.		Marcia
Fjorm	How should I put this... Getting into debt and disappearing... It sounds like your brother is quite the free spirit.
Princess Fjorm, I’m so sorry that... No—I’m ashamed that I made you choose your words so carefully.		Marcia
Fjorm	N-no, it’s perfectly fine! I have a brother as well, and...every sibling relationship is unique, isn’t it?
I didn’t know you had a brother! Now you HAVE to tell me what he’s like!		Marcia

Marcia: Petulant Knight - A

Fjorm	Let’s see... My brother’s name is Hríd. He is a kind man who always looks after me and my sister. He is also strong—so much so that he fights for his people without any regard for his own safety.
He sounds like a wonderful brother. Definitely someone my own brother could learn a few things from...		Marcia
Fjorm	Right now, Hríd is pouring all his strength into the reconstruction of Nifl.
... Do you ever miss him? I mean, you’re so far apart.		Marcia
Fjorm	Hmm... I do, but he sends me letters sometimes. That helps.
Fjorm	Besides, no matter the distance, our bonds still connect us. So I intend to do my best here in the Order of Heroes until my brother fulfills his duty.
What a noble relationship... The two of you are so admirable! Compared to your brother, mine is just a lazy bum who refuses to work despite being a mercenary. Gah! I have to find him as soon as possible! This time for sure, I’m going to knock some sense into him!		Marcia
Fjorm	I-I see... That’s why you’re looking for your brother, I take it?
Yeah, but, y’know... Despite all the trouble he’s put me through, he’s still not a bad person.		Marcia

Marcia: Petulant Knight - S

Marcia	Even if he’s a useless lout who loves gambling, he’s still my older brother. For better or worse, he’s all I’ve got. Sure, everything he does causes me one headache after another, but... More than that... I worry about him. And no matter how mad he makes me, I can’t stop worrying that he’s in danger or starving somewhere.
I think worrying about each other is exactly what it means to be siblings. And I’m certain, wherever he is, your brother is just as worried about you.		Fjorm
Marcia	That would be...nice, but... Princess Fjorm, thank you for your kind words. I’m going to get back to training, but I’ll remember them!
I am glad to hear it. Do your best!		Fjorm
Marcia	Princess Fjorm!
Oh, Marcia. Is something the matter?		Fjorm
Marcia	I know what to do! Instead of searching for my brother, we should just summon him here with 【Summoner】’s help! And I’ll be right there, ready to smack some decency into him until he’s finally an honest, upstanding person!
I-I see...		Fjorm
Marcia	Now that we have a plan to get him here, I need to prepare for the next step of his rehabilitation. He flees at the drop of a hat, so it’s not going to be easy to turn him into a respectable human being. But this time... This time for sure, I’m going to give him a taste of all the trouble he’s put me through...
P-please remember that he’s your older brother, and that...um... Kindness is a virtue... Siblings all have their own ways of showing they care... Some are just more...unique than others. R-right?		Fjorm
