Edelgard, Hubert enter the scene

Edelgard

We've come such a long way.

Edelgard

After all, I was only four years old when we first met.

Hubert

From your perfect memory, Lady Edelgard, I expect nothing short of the utmost precision. Do go on.

Edelgard

Please don't mock me with such frivolous praise. I can hardly recall that day.

Hubert

Forgive me.

Hubert

I suppose I must have been six at the time. I have no recollection of it.

Hubert

My earliest memory of you is of when you were injured.

Hubert

I recall being scolded most sternly by my father. "You are Lady Edelgard's servant!" he said. "You must protect her with your life!"

Edelgard

I had no idea.

Edelgard

But House Vestra has served House Hresvelg for generations...

Edelgard

Given that, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Hubert

Indeed. After that, I made certain to accompany you wherever you went.

Hubert

That is, until...the incident.

Edelgard

Ah, when my uncle, Lord Arundel, defected to the Kingdom and took me with him.

Hubert

The sensation of loss that overcame me on that day defies all description.

Hubert

It was as horrific as if I'd lost all my limbs. I left the city in a mad rush to rescue you.

Hubert

My father sent soldiers to capture me. I fought them off for three days, but they did finally manage it.

Hubert

Of course, I was only ten. I never would've reached Fhirdiad.

Edelgard

I've never heard that story before. So there are things you've never told me.

Hubert

It wasn't important.

Edelgard

That's beside the point. I wish to know these things.

Edelgard

If there's anything else you're keeping from me, please tell me at once.

Hubert

Respectfully, I decline.

Edelgard

Why? It's a simple order. I really must kn—

Hubert

Speaking of your orders, there was a task you gave me earlier which I have yet to carry out. Excuse me.

Hubert leaves the scene

Edelgard

Wait just a moment!

Edelgard

I just hope he's not hiding anything too worrisome...
