Editing Ephraim

*'''Duessel -''' In the first conversation, Ephraim apologizes to Duessel for making him side against Grado in the war, but Duessel dismisses this as nonsense and asks Ephraim to use him however he pleases in the war. Duessel than notes how advanced Ephraim's skills have become and reminisces about their first training sessions, and they agree to duel again after the battle to see how Ephraim had advanced in his training since then. In the next conversation Ephraim comes to talk to Duessel when he looks distracted, and Ephraim asks if he was thinking about Grado, wondering if he had made the wrong decision in asking Duessel to fight Grado in the war. Duessel tells him not to worry because his reasons are his own and he will fight the same regardless of the enemy. Ephraim than challenges Duessel to a rematch, having lost the first match. Ephraim presumably wins this one as the final conversation begins with Duessel commending Ephraim and saying he has nothing left to teach him, but Ephraim claims he still has much to learn from him. Ephraim then talks about his aspirations to become the greatest spearsman in Magvel due to his belief that the spear was the most superior of all weapons. He thanks the skills Duessel taught him for his still being alive and was glad that though their countries were friends, Duessel trained him like family. Duessel says that it is the nature of war that the young will surpass the old and as a warrior all he could do is improve his skills and pass them on to a student. He then says that his only regret in being branded a traitor is that he betrayed the emperor, but Ephraim rebutts that Grado had betrayed its former ideals and Duessel had remained loyal to his original oaths, going on to say that Duessel was the last true man of Grado if anything. Duessel then gives further words of inspiration to Ephraim and tells him to be a good king. Ephraim assures him that that has been his intention since he first held his spear, and he vows to never change but to let his faith and beliefs drive his every action as king.

*'''Forde -''' During battle, Ephraim forces Forde to show him his painting he was hiding, which Forde first attempts to pass off as a topographic map of the battlefield. However, Ephraim commended Forde for his artistic values and says it reminds him of his younger days traveling with Eirika, although he also warns him that the battlefield is not a good place for him to indulge in his hobby. In the next conversation, Ephraim chastises Forde by comparing him to Franz, but Franz says that as a brother he should know its unfair to be compared with one's siblings. Ephraim admits this and as they muse on the roles their siblings play in their lives and the effects they have on them, Ephraim and Forde realize that they depend on Eirika and Franz more than they realized. In the final conversation, Ephraim asks to look at the painting again and "carry it in his heart" as it represents the peaceful Renais of the past that Ephraim wants to restore after winning the war. Forde lets Ephraim keep the painting and describes how his hobby started as a way of cheering a young Franz, although in exchange Forde asks for a vacation after the war, and Ephraim tells Forde to earn it if he really wanted it.

*'''Kyle -''' In the first conversation, Kyle scolds Ephraim for recklessly rushing the enemy in their last battle. Ephraim claims he is uninjured but Kyle insists that he not take such risks due to his importance to the army. Ephraim reluctantly allows the knights to take the lead instead and walks out on Kyle, but Kyle does not think Ephraim will follow through with his word and endeavors to stop him before he kills himself. In the second conversation, they argue over a recent order for any unit to restrain Ephraim if he tries rushing ahead of the knights, as Ephraim wants to revoke it so that the units do not put themselves at risk holding back their commander instead of engaging the enemy. In the last conversation Kyle apologizes to Ephraim, having reached an epiphany when Ephraim rode to Kyle when he was injured and asked the others to take care of Kyle and treat him as Ephraim's brother. Kyle says that he always thought of himself as a loyal retainer and failed to notice that their bond runs deeper. Ephraim admits that being raised as a prince he was taught to be detached but still kept attachments to Seth, Kyle and Forde, regarding them as his family. Kyle realizes his earlier decision was wrong and rescinds it, saying that it would help the soldiers' morale if their commander fought on the front lines. Ephraim also compromised by promising to be less reckless in the future.
