Dear Goddess, please allow His Majesty to rest in peace...

Byleth enters the scene

Gilbert
volume_up

Who is it? Oh... Professor. What brings you here at this hour?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I am most sorry for disturbing you.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

The hour is late, Professor. You should be resting in preparation for the day to come.
link
What were you doing?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I was offering my prayers to the goddess.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

It is all that I can do now...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I told you I was in service of the royal family, yes?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

When I was only a young soldier, the king saw fit to make a knight of me.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I was given the great honor of guiding and protecting the royal family.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

It was similar to your own work. I was a teacher of sorts.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Indeed. I served in that post for nearly 40 years.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I instructed both King Lambert and Prince Dimitri in the arts of combat, tactics, and academia.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I also did all in my power to keep them safe. Until... That day.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I was unable to fulfill my duty. I was...powerless.
link
You mean...the Tragedy of Duscur?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Yes.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

When I received word of the attack, it was already too late. His Majesty was dead, along with many knights and soldiers.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

If only I had made it to Duscur more quickly...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

It is my fault that His Highness, Dimitri, has become...the way he is now.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

After that, I abandoned my wife and child, and fled my homeland.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I turned my back on everything I swore to protect. My sins are countless.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I will bear the weight of my guilt for as long as I live.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

What else can I do for His Majesty and all of those who died that day?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Apologizing to my daughter and wife. Devoting myself to His Highness. That is the way to atonement. And yet...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Even if I am granted the forgiveness of those who still live, praying is all I can do to atone to those who are with us no more...
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Long ago, there was someone who told me something quite similar.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Forgive me. This will not do. As I grow older, I find myself talking endlessly about the past. But it is too late for such things now.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I have finished my prayers. We should return.
