Hubert, Edelgard enter the scene

...And that concludes my report.

Edelgard

Hubert. I can't shake the feeling that you're keeping more secrets from me.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I have told you before. There are secrets even I am unwilling to share.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I remember. However, I am the emperor now.
link
Edelgard

If the Minister of the Imperial Household does not obey his orders, I have the right to execute him.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I fear you have misunderstood me, Your Majesty.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It is true that I am officially your minister, but such titles are of little significance to me.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I serve you purely out of personal devotion.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Perhaps there was a time when I served the Imperial line due to my duty as a member of House Vestra.
link
Hubert
volume_up

But since you returned from the Kingdom... my loyalty has been to you alone.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I see. Then you are unwilling to obey my orders as emperor?
link
Hubert
volume_up

Correct. If you prefer to treat this formally, then charge me with a crime.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I will gladly offer up my neck to the executioner.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You know I would never do such a thing and that I pay no heed to the title you bear.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

It is your own presence and capabilities that I value so highly, Hubert. Titles are meaningless next to such things.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Our families have no bearing on this matter...nor does the Empire itself.
link
Hubert
volume_up

In that case, Lady Edelgard, I ask you to turn a blind eye to my secrets.
link
Hubert
volume_up

They are trifles, beneath your notice. Best I handle them alone.
link
Hubert
volume_up

You should focus on the path ahead of you. The scarlet path I have carefully prepared.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Whether that path is red with blood is not something you need trouble yourself over.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

As emperor, I'm obliged to accept that answer. However, as your friend, it irritates me to no end.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You speak often of painting the path I walk, yet you do so in secret.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I am the one you serve, but you refuse to let me in.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I trust you, Hubert, and that is precisely why I want to know everything, your secret hopes and burdens. All of it.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

If I'm truly the center of your world, then I wish you would trust me as well as I trust you.
link
Hubert
volume_up

...
link
Hubert
volume_up

Very well. You have me beaten. I will tell you as much as I am able.
link
Hubert
volume_up

From the assassins I've eliminated, to the gold I've spent on bribes...to the identity of the one I love.

Wait a moment. Are you saying...you have romantic feelings for someone?
link
Hubert
volume_up

Yes. That is the one secret I had particularly hoped to keep from you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Well, that's utter nonsense! You can't possibly keep something so fascinating from me! Who is it?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

You? In love? Whoever could it— Huh! Oh, I've got it! I should have known all along!
link
Hubert
volume_up

You already suspect? I had really hoped to keep this secret from you.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Enough teasing. Tell me her name, Hubert.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It is you, Lady Edelgard. Did you ever really doubt?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Heh, Hubert... You never cease to surprise me.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Hahaha.
