Dorothea
volume_up

What's the matter, Ingrid? I never hear you sigh like that.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Oh, hi, Dorothea. And hello, Professor. Nothing's the matter. Well, nothing major.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You don't look like it's nothing major.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Then again, I suppose you always have a furrowed brow, don't you?
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Truth be told, there's rather a lot going on. It seems that there's always something to worry about...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

A childhood friend who's always causing trouble, my family... Things like that.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Now? Oh, I really did not wish to bother you with such trivialities...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You see, I received a letter from my father recently.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

From Count Galatea? What a kind gentleman to have for a father.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I thank you. But the content within the letter is what I find troubling.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Let me see! Oh, it's a marriage proposal... For you.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I've not met him, though I've heard his name here and there.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

He began life as a merchant but has somehow achieved rank in court. An enterprising noble from an allied territory.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

It's most likely that he wants the Crest of Daphnel that I bear to adorn his family name.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Hmm, yes, that sounds about right. The jerk.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You sound as though you know him. Do you?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Yes, I must admit that I know him. He tried to court me when I was a singer.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Best advice I can give you, Ingrid? Stay far, far away from this guy.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

He's offered a sizable dowry, so I must at least consider it—for the sake of my family.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Dowry? Ha! Blood money. That's all it is.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Dorothea, I—
link
Dorothea
volume_up

This jerk's entire fortune is soaked in blood. Do you want to rebuild your own house using that kind of money?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I mean, it's all just rumors, but I think it still might be worth investigating.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

What do you think, Professor? Should we go check this guy out?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Great! Let's tell the others.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Uh, really? OK...
link
Ingrid
volume_up

That's right, Dorothea. No point bothering. All of us, including the professor, are far too busy.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Are you sure? If you change your mind, Professor, just let me know.
