Edelgard

Ah, it's you. Out late again, I see. What brings you here?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I just wanted some fresh air. There's a lovely breeze tonight.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I always wander outside when sleep evades me.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Is it that obvious?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I despise being cooped up when sleep evades me. I just have to get some fresh air.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

So I see. Still, it's ill-advised to stay up so late.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Heh, I see. Well, don't let me keep you. Hurry back to your room, my teacher.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I should get some sleep too, but...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Have you ever felt a sort of longing for the outdoors?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I have. There are times I long for the warmth of the sun, for a sweet breeze on my face...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Do you remember what I told you the other night? About...my past?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

None of my siblings had a chance to lead the sort of life they deserved. An ordinary life.

volume_up

Hm. Well, perhaps if I tell you more, it will come back to you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

My siblings and I were... We were imprisoned underground, beneath the palace.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

The objective was to endow our bodies with the power of a Major Crest.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I have always possessed the Crest of Seiros, inherited through the Hresvelg bloodline.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But it was only a Minor Crest, and most of my siblings bore no Crest at all.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

In order to create a peerless emperor to rule Fódlan, they violated our bodies by cutting open our very flesh.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Now here I stand, the fruit of that endeavor: Edelgard von Hresvelg!
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But that came at too high a price... The others were sacrificed.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Ours weren't the only lives devastated by that terrible process. Innocents died as well, without even knowing what they were dying for.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

And there you have it, the truth of the Hresvelg's Empire.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

The prime minister and his gaggle of nobles. They had the Empire under their thumbs. My father, the emperor, tried to stop him, but...it was futile.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

My father was nothing but a puppet on a string by then. He was powerless to save us.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I know how it all sounds. But when you see my true strength, you will know I speak the truth.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

It is. But when you see my true strength, you will know that I speak the truth.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I have kept it hidden all this time, but...I will reveal to you the power of my second Crest.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

It is the same as yours...the Crest of Flames. When it manifested for me, I swore a silent oath.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

For the sake of my family and for all the poor souls whose lives were traded for my existence...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

For their sake, I will build a world where such meaningless sacrifice is never again sanctioned. As emperor, I will change the world. I swear it.
