A new trailer for a visual novel I'm interested in just came out yesterday and felt the urge to translate it, but I just want to make sure that I'm at least close to the meaning. I posted my translation under the Japanese characters and marked the areas red that I 100% wasn't sure on. Thanks!

Trailer:


「ニカイアの会の会長を引き継ぐなら、君が求める鍵を与えよう。」
「If you wish to become the president of the Council of Nicaea, then I shall give you the key you seek.」

八代譲葉は失った恋人の影を求める後輩へとそう告げた。
Said Yatsushiro Yuzuriha to her junior who desires something more than friendship.

真意を知りつつも学院の謎を知る八代譲葉は、
Despite knowing the mysteries of the academy and her true intentions,

彼女に困難な要求を突きつけ諦めさせようと考えたのだ。
She tried to thrust a burdensome demand on her to make her give up on that idea.

だが、八代譲葉も明かしては為らない秘密を抱えていた————。
But, Yatsushiro Yuzuriha also has been holding on to a secret that should never see the light of day————.

「————真実の女神」
「————Goddess of Truth.」

秋日の聖アングレカム学院で起こる不可思議な事件の数々。
Within the days of autumn of Saint Angraecum Academy exists a number of strange events.

複雑に絡み合った真実と恋の物語が動き始める————。
A tale of love and truth intertwined with complexity begins to unfold————.

叶わぬ恋でも思い続けることが出来ますか————
Can you live with unrequited love?————
 
You did quite well! 👍 Just few corrections.
「ニカイアの会の会長を引き継ぐなら、君が求める鍵を与えよう。」
引き継ぐ means "to succeed to (the president)", and doesn't have a nuance of "to wish" here. The speaker/Yuzuriha is proposing to her junior that she(= her junior) succeeds to the president in exchange for giving her the key.

八代譲葉は失った恋人の影を求める後輩へとそう告げた。
I don't know the context exactly, so there can be at least two different interpretations.
1) the junior sees her lost lover's image in Yuzuriha
or
2) the junior is looking for her lost lover's image

真意を知りつつも学院の謎を知る八代譲葉は、
"Despite (= も)" only modifies 真意を知りつつ.

Despite knowing her(= the junior's) true intentions, Yuzuriha, who knows the mysteries of the academy, tried to thrust...

秋日の聖アングレカム学院で起こる不可思議な事件の数々。
Grammatically, this is just a phrase, not a sentence.

A number of strange events that happens at Saint Angraecum Academy in the days of autumn.
