Ingrid

Your Highness. I've come to apologize.

Ingrid

I mismanaged my feelings and got carried away. I've been thinking about what might have made you say the things you did...

Ingrid

I was so caught up in the moment, and in my own feelings, that I didn't think of what yours might be.

Dimitri

No... I should be the one to apologize. I did not intend to say such things.

Dimitri

I lashed out like a child. You were right to rebuke me.

Dimitri

I am disgusted by my own inability to express myself. Will you allow me to explain?

Ingrid

Of course.

Dimitri

At the Tragedy of Duscur, I saw countless corpses. Of course, I saw his too...Glenn's.

Dimitri

Ingrid, I doubt you would have been able to see him. They were unable to bring his body back, after all.

Dimitri

He must have died an agonizing death, full of pain and regret. That is what I saw in his face.

Dimitri

In that wasteland, there were no beautiful, proud deaths that could have been written about in heroic tales. Not one.

Dimitri

I do not want you to die a death like that. Not even for the sake of loyalty or duty.

Ingrid

A king must, at times, order his soldiers and knights to fight and die on his behalf.

Ingrid

Their lives must be used for the greater good—this is something any good king understands innately.

Ingrid

Any king who doesn't allow people to die on his behalf is too soft to rule well.

Dimitri

You leave me little room for argument. Have I disappointed you?

Ingrid

No. I chose to serve you because of how you are.

Ingrid

As your knight, I will stand by your side and uphold your soft-hearted ideals.

Dimitri

What has changed, Ingrid? You were so obstinate the other day...

Ingrid

I've realized that I haven't been facing a very important truth.

Ingrid

Because of you, I can finally move on. Thank you.

Dimitri

Hm...
