Something on your mind, Edelgard?

This may not be the best place to sit and think. An archer might try to take a lucky shot at you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Right you are. I appreciate your concern.

Edelgard, Manuela enter the scene

Edelgard

In here, I'm trapped in a whirlwind of political affairs. I just needed to escape for a moment to get some fresh air.
link
Manuela
volume_up

I understand completely. May I ask what was on your mind? I'd like to help.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

To be honest...I still can't forget what you told me before.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I don't want you to misunderstand and think I'm against everything the church represents.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

There's good there, buried in the corruption. Still... I find it extremely difficult to step back and accept the good, overlooking all the rest.

Edelgard

For the world to start anew, it's necessary for the nobility system and the Church of Seiros to both be completely crushed.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Perhaps...
link
Manuela
volume_up

I suppose that might be the only way for you to achieve your goals.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I believe so, but...then I think about people like you who are devoted to the goddess.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

People who are unlike the others, who are willing to fight for themselves rather than leaving everything in the hands of a higher power...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

When I achieve my aim, I'll be crushing their... crushing your emotional and spiritual support.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Yet despite all that, you're still here. Still supporting me.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Don't worry yourself about that, Edelgard.
link
Manuela
volume_up

People are always weaker than you think, but never as weak as you expect.
link
Manuela
volume_up

The goddess is our silent foundation. She watches over our every step, but never gets directly involved.
link
Manuela
volume_up

You, on the other hand, want to support us with your own flesh and blood. To push us forward toward a better future.

Edelgard

Manuela

As it were, some problems require drastic measures. I believe you know that better than anyone.
link
Manuela
volume_up

It takes strength to take those measures. That's why you inspire people. You're probably why some of them get out of bed in the morning.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You're too kind.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Nah, I've just been around a bit longer than you, that's all.
link
Manuela
volume_up

While we're on the subject... Yes, the goddess does supply me with emotional support.
link
Manuela
volume_up

But so do you. Whether you know it or not.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I... What do you mean by that?
link
Manuela
volume_up

Just what I said, my dear. Just what I said.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Ugh, now I'm blushing. Let's change the subject, shall we?
link
Manuela
volume_up

As you wish. I think I've said quite enough as it is!
