Rejecting Destiny/Story

Rejecting Destiny - Opening

English・Japanese

Annaアンナ	"Surrender Veronica..." Whoever sent this letter is backing the unknown army. I recognize the crest that sealed it... It comes from one of the worlds invaded by the Emblian Empire.		『ヴェロニカの身柄を引き渡せ』... この書状の送り主は、 例の正体不明の敵軍を 援護しているわ。 書状の紋章... 以前、エンブラ帝国の 侵略を受けた異界のようね。
They want me?		............		Veronicaヴェロニカ
Celicaセリカ	This Veronica is lending her strength to the pursuit of peace. We will not simply hand her over to the enemy.		引き渡せって、そんな...！ ここにいるヴェロニカは、平和のために 力を貸してくれているのに！
That may be the case, but all the enemy sees is the face of the princess who invaded their home. Even if we try to explain that she's a completely different person, it's unlikely they'll listen.		だけど、彼らにしたら同じ顔、同じ容姿の ヴェロニカ皇女...別人だと説明しても 納得させるのは難しいでしょうね。		Annaアンナ
Sharenaシャロン	Commander Anna, the enemy is nearing the tower!		アンナ隊長、 砦の外に敵軍が迫ってきてます！
A battle is about to begin simply because of my presence... I do not want this.		............ あたしがここにいることで 戦いがおきてしまう... それは本意じゃないわ。		Veronicaヴェロニカ
Hectorヘクトル	That right there is exactly why we will not let them take you.		だからと言って、 引き渡せるわけねえだろうが！
You have committed no offense, Princess Veronica, so we will not allow you to be punished. You were summoned here along with the rest of us. That makes us allies.		ヴェロニカ皇女、 君に咎がない以上、 罰せられるいわれはない。 君は俺たちと共にここへ呼ばれた... 俺たちの仲間だ。		Ephraimエフラム
Veronicaヴェロニカ	Allies...		......なかま......
Everything will be all right, Princess Veronica. It is a mere misunderstanding. I'm sure they'll listen to reason. We must at least try speaking with them.		大丈夫よ、ヴェロニカ。 彼らは誤解しているだけ。 話せば、きっとわかってくれるわ。		Celicaセリカ
Annaアンナ	Well, this calls for our special Order of Heroes persuasion technique. It'll take some time, though.		彼らに対しては、 特務機関が説得工作を行うわ。 時間はかかりそうだけど...
Annaアンナ	Until then, we must keep Veronica safe inside this tower!		その間、この砦で ヴェロニカ皇女を守り切るわよ！

Rejecting Destiny - C

English・Japanese

Veronicaヴェロニカ	Hmm...
Princess Veronica? You look troubled.				Alfonseアルフォンス
Veronicaヴェロニカ	The other me...the me of this world... Her blood binds her to wage war against Askr. Yet I am the one who has been swept up into this battle... Am I destined for war? Is that fate dormant within my blood?
With all due respect, Princess, that's nonsense. We each forge our own destinies, plain and simple. If I had just followed the path laid out for me by the house I was born into, there's no way I'd be here today. The only force that decides who you are and what you stand for is you.				Hectorヘクトル
Alfonseアルフォンス	I'm inclined to agree. Your relation to this world—how you view it and its people... You are the only one who can decide that vision, Princess Veronica.
Only me...				Veronicaヴェロニカ

Rejecting Destiny - B

English・Japanese

Annaアンナ	Everyone, rejoice! Your fearless commander has managed to talk some sense into Veronica's pursuers! It's seems they've come to accept that this Princess Veronica is not the one that invaded their homeland.
That's great news! That means we're back to focusing our efforts on just a single enemy army.				Sharenaシャロン
Annaアンナ	How are you feeling, Princess Veronica?
I...				Veronicaヴェロニカ
Celicaセリカ	Princess, would you mind if we chatted for a moment?
Celica... I've caused you so much trouble.				Veronicaヴェロニカ
Celicaセリカ	You have done nothing of the sort. I fight of my own free will. Truth be told...before coming to this world, I had come to wield a great power. And I found my sword crossed with that of my closest friend... Against my will, I fought and hurt the people dearest to me. I caused them all so much grief...
Even you?				Veronicaヴェロニカ
Celicaセリカ	I will never be able to erase that truth. However, I can atone for it. That's why I continue to fight. Now, I know your situation is quite different... You do not need to atone for the actions of the other Veronica. But what's clear to me is that you're struggling to find your own purpose for fighting. So as long as you fight for the justice that you yourself believe in, you'll have no reason to fret!
...How did you know? How did you know that I've...felt so lost?				Veronicaヴェロニカ
Celicaセリカ	Heh... Oh, I just picked up on your feelings. You're an important friend to me now, after all.
Thank you, Celica... You are right. I can fight for what I believe in. I must. And what I believe in...is my dear allies.				Veronicaヴェロニカ

Rejecting Destiny - A

English・Japanese

Veronicaヴェロニカ	I am my own person. Even if I share a face with Princess Veronica of this Emblian Empire...we are not the same. By my own will, I shall do all I can. I shall do what I must. But the biggest difference between the two of us...is the fact that I have allies by my side.
Oh, Princess Veronica... You have become one of our dearest allies. We will fight for you always.				Celicaセリカ
Veronicaヴェロニカ	Even if my blood should one day scream for war, I will not allow that tragedy to unfold... No matter what happens, I will forge a destiny of my own choosing.
That's the spirit, Princess.				Hectorヘクトル
Ephraimエフラム	If you stay the path you choose for yourself, I am certain it will lead you away from conflict. The sky of your future will be bright and blue, unclouded by bitter war.
Well, it's time we get going, Princess. We're in this together, so let's move out.				Celicaセリカ
Veronicaヴェロニカ	Yes... If I'm with you all, I will not fall victim to my own loneliness. Let us go. Let us extinguish the flames of war. That is my reason for being here... That is my destiny.
