Mercedes & Lorenz A

link
Lorenz, Mercedes enter the scene
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Mercedes. I have heard that you are the daughter of Imperial nobility. Is that the case?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

It is.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

And you have a Crest, as well. Is that not so?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Again, it is.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Why did you not tell me? I was under the impression you were a commoner.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I didn't mean to hide it from you, but you never asked. Besides, I am considered common now.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I don't care to flaunt my noble past or my Crest.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I have no desire to return to that status.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Then, if I may speak hypothetically a moment...
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Does that mean that if a nobleman were to offer you his hand in marriage, you would decline?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Not at all. That's a separate matter entirely.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Even if I were to fall in love, regardless of their social status...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I'm not looking to marry right now.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

What a relief! Ah—forgive my rudeness. I am merely envious of your flexible outlook.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

It is a posture that I might very well adopt. Not to say that I hang upon your every word, of course.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You mean in terms of love and marriage?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Precisely. Status should be no impediment to love.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

But if you marry a woman who isn't a noble, then haven't you neglected your duty?
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Not exactly, no. What I said was that my marriage must benefit House Gloucester.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

So long as that holds true, the bloodline of my partner is actually irrelevant.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

For instance, if she bore a Crest, and was, at one time, considered noble...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Well, now that doesn't sound flexible at all!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

How can you know if someone will benefit your family?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Would you investigate her before allowing yourself feelings? That doesn't sound very noble of you...
link
Lorenz
volume_up

That is not what I...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I'm sorry, Lorenz. I was only teasing.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I'm sure your lack of tact is what women find so irresistible.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Come again?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh, nothing at all. I hope you do your family proud and fulfill your duty.
link
Lorenz
volume_up

Yes. I most certainly will!
