After the Flame Emperor is defeated, Edelgard removes her mask and reveals her true identity to Guest. She admits that she is the Flame Emperor and explains that she has been working toward a revolution against the Church of Seiros and the current order of Fódlan. Rather than attacking Guest, Edelgard asks them to hear her out. She tells Guest that the path ahead will lead to war and that she intends to change Fódlan completely. She then offers Guest a choice: join her and stand beside the Adrestian Empire, or remain loyal to the Church and eventually fight against her. Edelgard makes it clear that she wants Guestas an ally, but ultimately leaves the decision in their hands
