This is the story about Ayra wandering. You don't have to translate everything. Just give us the basic idea of what's it about and don't leave out the juicy details. That's Ayra's story. I'll post the others one at a time.

There isn't any info on Levin. Only on Ayra, Alvis, The Tower Of Blagi, Bridget, and an interview with Kaga.

I'll translate it anyways...I'll translate sentence by sentence.
Ayra's home country Isaac was invaded by Grandbell's large army, and it was on the verge of destuction. Her brother and king of the time Maricle prophesized his own fate of death and hands over his only son (also only child) Shannan to Ayra. He desired Shannan to be protected until the coming reconstruction of Isaac.
At the time, any men in the enemy's royal family, even children, were to be executed. The better case for women would be slavery, and the usual case was to be raped and murdered. Maricle of course did not want his son Shannan, nor his kawaii (in this context it doesn't suggest anything other than brotherly love) sister, to go through such a thing. He knew that if he said to take care of Shannan, his competetive sister would not be able to say no. As Maricle thought, Ayra had no choice but to take Shannan and escape the battlefield, and her country.
The only thing is that at this time, the only country who have not been under the influence of the gigantic country of Grandbell was the hostile (towards Grandbell) country of Verdane. Even if she escaped to one of the countries with peaceful relations with Grandbell, if their identity was revealed it was not impossible for them to be presented as prisoners (to Grandbell). So Ayra escapes to Verdane, but her long time wandering made it difficult to even get the meal for the day, so she had no choice but to work as a mercenary for Verdane. Ayra who held a brave yet pure heart lending a hand for Kinbois' atrocities had that kind of circumstance behind it.
Edit: kawaii means cute/adorable, like a fuzzy bunny or a cute girl. If the writer was trying to express something more than brotherly love then he would probably add a little more descriptions to suggest it. So I believe it's just the big brother looking out for his cute little sister.

Wow, that was fast, thanks North2, didn't expect it to be translated so quickly. Although I must say there isn't any info there that we don't know about. But I am surprised at the cruelty of Grandbell. I always thought the only bastards there were Rangobolt and Leptor.

Sorry, I missed a word there. 'At the time, IN WAR any men in the enemy's royal family, even children, were to be executed'. It's not really cruelty of Grandbell...it was just a rule of war at the time. Leaf would be executed by Thracia too if he was captured. I think Tiltyu was taken in as a slave or something by Blume. Althena is an exception =P.

Treasure is at this level? I thought it'd be, like, Xenogears Perfect Works.

Tiltyu was Bloom's sister.....somehow I don't think Bloom was near Reptors level of corruption but he was still pretty bad. Anyway lets add on now heres the Alvis/Azel article. And on a side note I'm starting to like Alvis more now but Julius still beats him out. (hmm I still like Yurius more but....I'll go with Julius for the moment)

The name of Azel's mother was never mentioned =(.
When the tradegies of Shigyun's running away and Victor's death assaulted the Velthomer family at the same time, Alvis was 7 years old.
There was a member of the Velthomer family who became the new leader, but he (Alvis) himself had what can be called a 'gift of Kings', and held a talent and toughness/strength which was hard to believe it could come from a child, and maintained the stature as Velthomer's leader.
In fact, the person who supported him (Alvis) from the shadows was Barhara's Price Kuluto, but Alvis only learned this fact a long time later.
Also, Alvis exiled all but one of his father Victor's mistresses. He ordered their children to be demoted to servants or exiled. The only mistress left was a girl who was his mother Shigyun's maid servant. Although she went through a tough childhood and wasn't beautiful, she had a kind heart and frequently took care of Alvis. Even Alvis could not be cruel towards her.
Although Victor got his hands on the girl from the momentum of being drunk, when he knew the girl got pregnant he yelled, cursed, used violence, and tried to drive her away. The person who scolded at this was Shigyun, and the very child who this girl got pregnant with was in fact Azel. When Victor died, Azel was just born.
Alvis hated (like truly hated) his father for making mother sad for immature thoughts. When that father commited suicide, and Shigyun ran away, a cold mask always floated around the young expression. But, he thought of that mistress and Azel as his own family.
From there, the mistress was grateful for Alvis, and served him by taking care of the space around him, but she also died of disease around 10 years later.
From then on, there was no sight of a woman around Alvis.

Not used to translating all that much ;D I'll be modifying my translations from time to time when I think of better words to fit the context. It just comes to me when I hear or read the words from someone, like the word 'scolded' which I couldn't figure out until I read it somewhere else. Anyways, I'm bringing this up because I'm sure there's a word or phrase that describes perfectly for how much Alvis hated his father for his actions, but I can't think of it right now. It does not suggest any other emotions like disgust, anger, despise, the need to kill, or anything else. It's just a worse form of 'hate'. I know my sentences are run-ons, but I just like to translate sentence by sentence .

Oh I think I got it. It's the feeling of hate that makes you think 'I wish ____ didn't exist'. It doesn't mean Alvis wants to kill his father, although it doesn't rule out the possibility either. Judge for yourself from Alvis's personality. In my opinion I'd say Alvis just wanted his father to go to another country and not come back.
