Gilbert, Dimitri enter the scene

Gilbert

Your Highness. It falls to me once more to instruct you in the ways of battle.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

It does not befit a leader to fight on the front lines. I would ask that you refrain from such conduct in the future.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I've not had to weather your lectures in many a year. And here I thought you were avoiding me.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

That is...a separate matter. You have a duty to consider the value of your own life.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Your words ring true, of course. I admit I was a bit careless out there.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

However, I have always been a man who is good for nothing but war.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

To best support our cause, I must carve a path through the battlefield with my own hands. I truly believe that will lead us to victory.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Why the dark expression, Gustave? Do my words trouble you so?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

You remind me of your father. His Majesty once said the same thing, more than a decade ago, during the northern campaign.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

In you, I see his manner, and I hear his words. You grow more like him with each day's passing.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

And, in you, I am reminded of my failure in my duty to him.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I do not wish to speak of that matter. As I said before, I feel no resentment toward you.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Even so... You have changed since that fateful day, Your Highness. Perhaps too much.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

I worry that in your pain, you have locked away your true feelings. Your passion is dulled. And your vigor faded.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

You want to hear my true feelings, Gustave? Then let me ask you this.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Why did you save my life that day? Why did you not allow me to die along with the others?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

If you truly wish to atone for your sins...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Then take my life, here and now.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

You would ask me to perform the unthinkable!
link
Gilbert
volume_up

You are the future of Faerghus. Your Kingdom needs you alive.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

That I was able to save you...is my only sense of salvation.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Your Highness, I repeat myself—consider the value of your own life.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

If you continue risking all, be it on the battlefield or by issuing mad orders such as this, I will be forced to save you from yourself.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

I see. So, you will continue to protect and serve me, will you?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

In that case, when I assume the throne, I will order you to work for me in the Kingdom.
link
Gilbert
volume_up

Your Highness? No... Please...
link
Dimitri
volume_up

My father would be happy to see such a day. Perhaps I will ask you to instruct me further in the ways of battle when that time comes.
link
Dimitri leaves the scene
link
Gilbert
volume_up

If I wish to atone for my sins, I must take your life? Deception has never been your strong suit, Dimitri. Or do you think I cannot see?
link
Gilbert
volume_up

You must know I would take my own life before I let anyone harm you.
