Gilbert, Ashe enter the scene

Is something the matter? Your heart does not seem to be in your training today.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm sorry. Something's been bothering me.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Idle thoughts do hinder training. Tell me what bothers you.
link
Ashe
volume_up

You were sworn to protect the royal family.
link
Ashe
volume_up

But when we met five years ago, you weren't in the Kingdom capital. You were in Garreg Mach.
link
Ashe
volume_up

What could have made a great knight like you abandon his vow?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

That...is difficult to explain.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

You are aware of the Tragedy of Duscur? When the king's party was massacred nine years ago?
link
Ashe
volume_up

I am. It affected me too.
link
Ashe
volume_up

My brother was suspected of being involved in the attack, and so the church... They...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Forgive me. That must be a difficult memory.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I disagree. Had I been by His Majesty's side on that day, where I was sworn to be...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Perhaps His Majesty would not have lost his life, and all would be different.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Is that why you left Faerghus?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Yes. You may laugh, but I feel I was responsible for everything.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I would never laugh at something like that.
link
Ashe
volume_up

But I do think you should have seen things through to the end.
link
Ashe
volume_up

Even if you had to endure dishonor for a while, you could have restored your name!
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm sorry.
link
Ashe
volume_up

That was inconsiderate of me. I got carried away by how much your situation resembles my own.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

You were adopted by Lord Lonato, correct?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I once told you that I wished to protect one thing other than my king...and that is my family.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

My wife and my daughter, both of whom I left behind in the Kingdom.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Lord Lonato took up his sword for his son. Even if that meant turning his back on the goddess...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

As a father, I cannot condemn Lord Lonato for raising an army.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Yet, perhaps he too lost sight of what should be protected. Just as I did.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I don't understand what you mean. What should Lonato have protected?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

You, Ashe. Because you are also his son.
link
Ashe
volume_up

You're right...
link
Ashe
volume_up

I think I know what I need to protect now.
link
Ashe
volume_up

It's been staring me in the face all this time. I don't know why I couldn't see it.
link
Ashe
volume_up

I'm Lonato's son. His pride and his wishes are my inheritance. Those are what I should protect.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I see.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Ashe, you will be an excellent knight.
link
Ashe
volume_up

It's too early to say that, but I'm willing to learn if you'll teach me!
link
Gilbert
volume_up

It would be my pleasure to oversee the training of a new generation.
