Plot

Main article:Betrayal/Script

The party reports toRhea, explains all that has transpired, and convinces her to allow them to head to the chapel ruins with theChalice of Beginnings to rescueAelfric. When a knight protests, she expresses her confidence that nobody can replicate the Rite of Rising. After the party leaves, Rhea remembers the necessary condition for the ceremony – the blood of the four apostles – and orders an investigation into the origins of the fourAshen Wolves. The party returns toAbyss and asksYuri how he came to be there. He admits that during his time as a member of theOfficers Academy, he was ordered to kill members of his own gang; when he protested, the ensuing argument escalated into him murdering the members of the church, and only Aelfric's intervention prevented him from being executed.Linhardt remembers the names of the Four Apostles who performed the original Rite of Rising, and the Ashen Wolves admit to possessing theCrests of the Apostles:Aubin for Yuri,Chevalier forBalthus,Timotheos forHapi, andNoa forConstance. The group prepares to depart for the chapel.

Shortly before moving out, Yuri asksByleth to meet him at the Holy Mausoleum at midnight tomorrow night. Byleth and their companions head to the chapel ruins and confront the marauders and their leader,Metodey. Hapi uses her sigh to summon giant monsters to distract the marauders while they rescue Aelfric, and the party slays the marauders and forces Metodey to retreat. However, Aelfric and Yuri betray the group, steal the Chalice, and abduct the rest of the Ashen Wolves. The unharmed Byleth regroups with the other students, and Rhea arrives. She explains that Aelfric's goal is almost certainly to use the blood of the Ashen Wolves to trigger the Rite of Rising; the Chalice can restore life to a body, but cannot bring back a deceased soul. Alois appears and reports that thieves have breachedGarreg Mach Monastery and are pillaging everything in sight, forcing Rhea to deploy theKnights of Seiros to deter them. Byleth informs their students about Yuri's request to meet them at the Holy Mausoleum, and the group decides to go.
