Ahahaha!

Byleth, Yuri enter the scene

Yuri

What is with you? Finally coming apart at the seams from all those late nights spent researching, huh?
link
Constance
volume_up

Ahaha! For once, your sharp tongue misses its mark.
link
Constance
volume_up

My elation is too powerful for your petty sniping to have any effect!
link
Constance
volume_up

Aren't you curious as to the reason? No matter, I shall tell you anyway.
link
Constance
volume_up

Not long ago, the church reached out to me. They bade me travel to House Gerth, escorted by the knights.
link
Constance
volume_up

During the Dagda and Brigid war, you see, Houses Nuvelle and Gerth fought side by side.
link
Constance
volume_up

Yet we were the ones who suffered wrack and ruin, while they kept their Foreign Ministry position.
link
Constance
volume_up

I cannot turn back time to change that, of course.
link
Constance
volume_up

But I would relish the opportunity to give Duke Gerth a proper tongue-lashing!
link
Yuri
volume_up

I guess that is one of your pastimes, isn't it? Anyway, seems the church has business with House Gerth.
link
Constance
volume_up

Gerth is one of the Six Great Noble Houses. They oversee the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
link
Yuri
volume_up

And the ministry is in charge of diplomacy for other regions and territories.
link
Constance
volume_up

Of the Six Great Noble Houses, it is the one which oversees the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
link
Constance
volume_up

The church wishes to obtain a Hero's Relic thought to reside in House Gerth's collection.
link
Constance
volume_up

The delicate negotiations of acquiring it fall to me, due to my connection with the duke.
link
Ah, a Hero's Relic...
link
Yuri
volume_up

I thought they were all returned to the descendants of the 10 Elites by the church ages ago.
link
Yuri
volume_up

House Gerth has no ties to the elites, and I don't think the head even has a Crest.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Odd indeed for them to have a Relic.
link
Constance
volume_up

There is talk that the Relic fell into his hands during the Dagda and Brigid war.
link
Constance
volume_up

The Church of Seiros was displeased to learn this.
link
Constance
volume_up

They feel the Relic should belong to them and have made that plain to House Gerth.
link
Do we know how the duke acquired it?
link
Yuri
volume_up

I believe the Relic was found in a foreign land where it was mistaken for a marvelous, but benign, treasure.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Then it was probably gifted as recompense to House Gerth, as part of a reconciliation.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Who can say why it had landed on foreign shores to begin with, though.
link
Constance
volume_up

You seem rather well-informed on the subject.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Eh, I caught wind of some of the story, which piqued my interest.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I did some digging and drew conclusions, like I tend to do. So what you've got is what I think—nothing more.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Anyway. Constance. If you're headed to House Gerth, so am I.
link
Constance
volume_up

What game are you playing here?
link
Yuri
volume_up

No games—this time. I just want to get a gander at that shiny Relic they're keeping hidden away.
link
Constance
volume_up

I haven't the authority to prevent it, but if you must accompany us, I should like the professor along too.
link
Constance
volume_up

The more eyes watching this snake, the better.
link
Yuri
volume_up

I think you've confused a snake with a bird. You coming, friend?
link
Constance
volume_up

Ahaha! I knew you'd see things my way. Allow me to make a few quick preparations and we can depart.
link
Constance
volume_up

What a delicious frisson it gives me to imagine the look upon the duke's face! Ahaha!
link
Constance leaves the scene
link
Yuri
volume_up

I sure hope the church knows what they're doing, choosing her to negotiate this...
link
Yuri
volume_up

I guess this was all pretty abrupt, wasn't it? Let me know if you change your mind, yeah?
