- Soldier: [Soldier walks to Marth's room and knocks] Prince Marth... Are you awake? Beggin' your pardon, sire, but the princess has asked to see you.
- Marth: Elice? Is she all right?
- Soldier: She seemed to be, sire, but her words implied a certain urgency. She bade you dress quickly and wait by the throne.
- Marth: ...Has something happened?
- Soldier: It's our forces off in Gra, sire. There seems to 'ave been some sort of incident, but... Well, I'm not privy to the specifics.
- Marth: I see... Thank you. I'll be there shortly.
- [Soldier leaves conversation]
- Marth: My sister said she would meet me by the throne. An incident in Gra... If Elice had news of our father, I pray it's good news...
