I see. So you must have seen Ares and Albion as well...

I might have overdone it. Some rest will serve you well.

Ha-ha... Ha-ha-ha! Well, you said it! Fine then. If I find myself here again, I'll cook you something that'll really make you smile.

It was my plan to keep protecting Lyria, but before I knew it, it was Lyria who was protecting and supporting me.

I'm not worried about her... The one I'm worried about is you, Vira. Of course I care about Lyria, but... I could never live without you either, Vira.

Hm? Haha. I see. Thank you, Vira. You definitely have a knack for intervening on my behalf with uncanny timing. I almost get the feeling that you're monitoring my every move.

What's wrong? You're looking pretty blue... Hehe... You'll feel better with a little something to eat. I hope you're ready for the Katalina special!

My. High praise from a divine primal. I pray I don't fall short.

What's wrong? You're looking pretty blue... Hehe... You'll feel better with a little something to eat. I hope you're ready for the Katalina special!

Through all your trials and tribulations, you never lost sight of why you took up that halberd. You're an inspiration to us all.

In order to start this journey again on the right foot, there's something I need to do. I know just how much worry I caused all of you back there... But I can't leave Albion behind just yet.

Yes... This is a good opportunity. Why don't we go and test our abilities?

You'll be back? I've told you the same thing every time. If you call yourself a knight, you've got to be strong enough to defeat me.

I'll kick you around all at once!

That was a good battle.

Ah, well... It's just... The land of Albion has long prospered under the benevolent watch of Chevalier... And I was just wondering what she'd think if she could see it in person.

Katalina Aryze, present.

Even while wielding your blades, you moved with such grace and finesse. Perhaps I could embellish my own swordsmanship... So if I swing my hips from side to side like this—wait, you weren't supposed to see that!

Hehe, of course! I protect everything with this sword. That's what it means to be a knight.

Victory-- that feeling is very important.

In my last moments... I... wanted to... pet... Vyrn...

Vira. No holding back. Bare everything you've got... Let's see what you can do!

That was a hard-fought battle. Vira, you've improved drastically since our last bout. Tell me when you want a rematch, and I shall happily oblige.

Now then, let us go to Estalucia together!

It's all right. There's nothing for you to worry about.

You finally found a reason to fight. Now prove to me that you have the strength to protect it!

I've been wondering... There's rumors your right hand is cursed. Is that a primal sickness of some kind?
