more fire emblem cipher series 10 translations!

It will be a pleasure to make everybody’s acquaintance when I join the battle in Cipher Series 10, “Crossroads” , due for release on the 21st of September!

My lady is the daughter of a noble household.

Then, allow me to introduce myself… My name is Alice! I have bid my motherland farewell and set out on a quest to bring good tidings to all manner of lands.

We mustn’t leave everybody who has come to read this page waiting. Let’s begin this ourselves!

Oh, no, you’re correct… This isn’t the right time at all! Gah… What a bother.

Milady… Did you think to confirm that this was the appointed time?

…Oh? Where is everybody?

I am Valjean, a knight and steward in milady’s service. Pray forgive that I, too, shall be with you in Cipher Series 10. You may call me Val, if you would prefer to address me more familiarly.

First of all, allow me to present Princess Eirika and Prince Ephraim.

We shall begin with these illustrations which were showcased in-studio the other day on the Cipher special live broadcast. “Glorious Twinstrike”, the 11th Cipher series , will feature “The Sacred Stones” !

Yes, yes, of course! Let us begin!

Surely we ought to begin showcasing the items we prepared for this day?

I see… Then, now that you’ve been introduced, perhaps you would consider doing so now?

With all due respect, milady… I cannot. It is only prudent for a knight.

Say, Val. Surely you ought to remove that stifling helmet of yours when introducing yourself?

And last of all, a bael: a species of monster.

Now, what do we have next… My, these ones are brand new, are they not? From “Echoes: Shadows of Valentia”, also featured in Series 11… Forsyth and Python, of the Zofian Deliverance!

I’d say that one is perfectly suited to your quarters, Val! Your names even sound somewhat alike!

My, these are all such wonderful illustrations! Perhaps I ought to hang them in the parlor at home!

Additionally, the protagonists of “Fire Emblem Warriors” : Prince Rowan and Princess Liana, of the Kingdom of Aytolis!

Well? Was that not magnificent?

Magnificent as ever, milady! A marvelous bout of news, to be sure!

For the sake of all in the audience, we went and had a word with our dear producer and all in the staff. Dare I say, it was well worth the effort.

H-hold on, Val! I’m not so sure you should be saying such things!

You didn’t misunderstand them, did you? Some matters belong in the open, while others ought to remain secrets… And it is the duty of the aristocracy to lead the way in making such decisions! If we are to ensure that all can continue to enjoy the game, we mustn’t speak of such things!

Yes, yes. I know what you mean.

Really? Do you really understand?!

Huh? Shade! Shaaaade! Looks like they’ve gone and started without us!

Whaaat?! But I was going to break that news before… before anyone else! Didn’t they hear me?!

Oh? So, you’ve finally deigned to come… Late, late, late! We’ve nearly finished today’s Cipher Frontier!

What?! We thought we had made it, and yet… We were too late?!

Hmph. It seems my liege-lady made a miscalculation when she set our meeting time…

Inconveniencing others is an act poorly befitting a lady. Alas, your allowance for the month will be docked as recompense.

Wh-what?! How can you do this?!

‘Tis my responsibility as the family steward, milady.

N-nooo!

Ohohoho. So you must be Alice and Valjean… Oh, sorry. Is it Val? Nice to meet oddballs such as yourselves.

Now that we’re together, The Cipher Frontier! is only going to get bigger and livelier! You’d best look forward to it!

New to this as I am, it is an honor to make your acquaintances nonetheless.

Don’t worry about it. With two more hands on deck, we’ll be bringing you a even more powered-up Cipher Frontier! Look forward to it!

Thank you, everybody!!!!!!
