I see. So you'll be staying here for some time, then.

Honestly, I'm surprised. I've heard it's been a few years since you last donated to the church.

That was merely because of the financial situation of my territory. I assure you, it has nothing to do with my dedication to the church.

By the way, Dimitri... Isn't Edelgard currently enrolled at the Officers Academy as well?

Dimitri

Yes. She's in the Black Eagle House. I don't believe she has any plans to leave anytime soon. Why not pay her a visit?

Lord Arundel

I may do just that. It's nice to stay in touch with my dear niece every now and then.

Of course I'm also delighted that I was able to speak with my nephew, as well. Whether through marriage or otherwise, family is family, after all.

Dimitri

Of course. The feeling is mutual.

Professor... If you were watching, you should have made your presence known.

Who was that?

Dimitri
volume_up

That was Lord Arundel, the Regent for the Empire. He is also Edelgard's uncle.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

In a sense. We have spoken on several occasions, albeit many years ago.

Dimitri

My stepmother was his younger sister. We are not related by blood, but he is technically my uncle.

Yes. My stepmother was Edelgard's birth mother.

Edelgard and I are siblings by marriage.

We can delve into that topic another time. For now, let's make preparations to investigate what's happening in that village.

Oh dear. The princess of the Empire and the Kingdom's prince are kin! How very odd.

All beings are attached somehow to those who are their family. Yes...even I.

I must have had a family too... I wish I could remember them.

My family... I wonder who and where they are, and what they're doing now.

They likely harbor knowledge they do not wish to share. Oh yes, I'm sure of it. But I suppose we must wait until the time of truth arrives...

In any case... About this Arundel. You've heard that name before, correct?

Quite true! We came across that name within the library, right where the prince had been.

The library! We came across that name within the library, right where the prince had been. Don't you recall?

I thought that Arundel had died... And yet, not so. He seems alive and well.

I wonder what the prince had hoped to learn from reading of his uncle's charity...

So many things the prince has yet to tell... How bothersome...
