Labienus

(First interaction)

Prudentia: Mr. Labienus, wh—what do you think?

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus ...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus "She swept through history like a storm, reshaping the fate and fabric of Amphoreus with flame and cunning..."

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Brilliant! Prudentia, your writing is superb. Just this opening line alone is enough to leave all of the Imperator's admirers in awe! You must be the most eloquent among all the History Investigators...

What did you write?

Lemme see.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Oh! Honored guest, you've come at just the right moment! Miss Prudentia interviewed the Imperator's generals, soldiers, and even risked her life to speak with the Imperator's enemies, all to craft such a magnificent epic!

Prudentia: You flatter me, Mr. Labienus... it's not even finished yet. There are still many parts in the text that seem embellished by the narrator. I'll need to verify and cross-check them thoroughly...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus You History Investigators really are too rigid. This is artistic refinement! There isn't a single historical chronicle in the world that hasn't been artistically enhanced...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus (Trailblazer), our honored guest, come, you should have a look at this manuscript of The Chronicles of the Imperator's Campaign too.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus I've made a decision. I'm going to copy out a dozen of these and hand them to everyone I meet. The Imperator's glorious deeds deserve to be praised by all...

In the illusion sculpted by the authority of Ocean, a bubble of a drunken demigod emerged...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Honored guest, was this feast to your liking? The Great Imperator's feasts are the greatest feasts in all feasts, that even Phagousa would have to admit defeat!

Dux Fragoris, let's have a chat.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Sure, honored guest. What would you like to talk about?

Let's talk about your past.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus My past... Come to think of it, it's all thanks to the Great Imperator.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus I was once the crown prince of Bulsa, and my city-state was loyal to Aquila. During the Titan War, as Aquila and Nikador came to blows, we found ourselves with little choice but to face Castrum Kremnos.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus When the city fell, I was the only one left of the Bulsa forces... And as I found myself spent beyond measure, the Great Imperator led her army and came to my relief.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus The Great Imperator mended my wounds and instructed me to lead the army. Through tactics and strategies, the Imperator laid low the formidable forces of Kremnos many times.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus And she even bestowed upon me the name of Dux Fragoris, allowing me to defeat the savage god myself and take the Coreflame...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Should my feeble life were to be bound for the nether realm, I would still roar the Great Imperator's praises!

Let's talk about your future.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus My future... Will be dedicated to the Great Imperator's grand cause.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus You can presume that under the Imperator's leadership, the Flame-Chase's victory was inevitable. What we turned our eyes to in the future was the vast sea of stars that sprawled above the Great Imperator's campaign map...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Today, the Titans are enemies that the Flame-Chase Army can only beat through great struggle. And there is no certainty about how many powerful enemies await along that long journey to the future...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Something as strong as the Titans might only be the dust scattered across the stars.

The Imperator's grand plans are too impractical...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus No. The Imperator's verdict is never wrong. Should the Imperator's grand dream fail to come true, it must be because we, as retainers, failed to bear these great desires well enough.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus The righteousness of great ambitions should determined by Dux Helkolithist. The reverberations ambitions gain will be determined by the pen strokes of Dux Carminum. To spread the greatness of ambition, all obstacles shall be swept aside by Dux Brumalis...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus As for me, my only desire is to be the Imperator's vanguard, to shed golden blood in her glory and battles.

Done chatting for now.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Next time, dear guest.

See you.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus Next time, dear guest.

Beyond Time: An Eternal Page

(First interaction, with Hysilens, Seneca, Verginia, and Apollonius)

"Dux Brumalis" Seneca: Ha, Labienus, can your stomach still handle it? Looks like I'm gonna win this one.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus: Ugh... I just drank too much water. It's all because the honey brew here is too watery!

Hysilens: In that case, would you like to try the richest honey brew?

Hysilens: After the black tide receded, I returned to my homeland and dug up all twelve bottles that Phagousa had buried in the seabed.

Hysilens: Today, have as much Essence of Icy Springone of the twelve bottles as you wish! Let's drink to our heart's content!

"Dux Carminum" Verginia: A—As much as I wish? But it's something so precious...

Hysilens: Back then, Phagousa buried them in the seabed because she wanted to share them with her descendants after the black tide had receded. Aren't they perfect for a celebration now?

"Dux Helkolithist" Apollonius: Since Dux Gladiorum insists so passionately, we'll humbly accept the offer. Little Verginia, looks like you'll get your chance to shine today.

Hysilens: Well then, here's to our yesterdays and tomorrows.

Cheers to the Flame-Chase Journey!

To the new world!

To Amphoreus!

"Dux Brumalis" Seneca: Mmm... W—Wow! That really hit the spot! Phagousa's collection really lives up to its reputation!

"Dux Carminum" Verginia: Though it tastes a little astringent at first, if you let it sit in your mouth for a moment, you can taste a subtle sweetness... and a hint of sea breeze.

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus: Hmm, the taste is exquisite indeed. But as loyal subjects, how could we enjoy this by ourselves? Go and invite the Great Imperator.

Hysilens: I'll join her for drinks later. For now, please enjoy yourselves to the fullest. And remember: We're not leaving until our cups run dry!

"Dux Brumalis" Seneca: Alright then, today I'll be the last one standing! Who's my next challenger?

"Dux Helkolithist" Apollonius: Your time to shine, Verginia.

"Dux Carminum" Verginia: Then I'll... I'll do it!

Hysilens: Little Gray Fry, care to join me for a drink? Look...

Hysilens: The Dew of Divine Blood, you should still remember its taste. Though, it's fine if you don't, I can help you recall it.

Hysilens: Cheers, Little Gray Fry.

Cheers, Hysilens.

Listen

"Dux Brumalis" Seneca: This... is... impossible...

"Dux Carminum" Verginia: Oh, (Mr./Miss) (Trailblazer), please help Seneca! She was having a drinking contest with me. W—We were drinking honey brew, but she's about to hit the floor after just a few cups!

Just a few cups...

How many cups did you have, exactly?

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus: I was keeping score. A whopping total of 52 cups.

"Dux Helkolithist" Apollonius: Dux Brumalis, you drink well, but it's unfortunate you ran into a monster like little Verginia. There's no shame in this loss!

"Dux Brumalis" Seneca: Nonsense... I'm... not done yet... I can still drink on...

"Dux Fragoris" Labienus: Looks like this victory feast is gonna last for quite a while, haha!
