Edelgard & Hubert C

Edelgard
Sometimes I wonder if your life could have taken you down a different path.

Edelgard
If you had never met me and entered my service, you might have had a more peaceful—

Hubert
A more tedious path? Inconsequential and spoiled rotten, like so many other nobles?

Hubert
Never.

Hubert
My duty to you is no mere obligation. I chose this.

Hubert
I had thought that would be obvious to you.

Edelgard
I understand you well. Better than anyone.

Edelgard
It makes me wonder what kind of life you might have had without me. That's all.

Hubert
Such a life may have had its appeal.

Hubert
I thought I'd left my years of carefree innocence behind me.

Edelgard
I feel the same way.

Hubert
That enjoyment, however, is only thanks to you.

Hubert
Standing by your side is all that truly matters to me.

Edelgard
I see. Then I won't speak of such things again. If it's really what you want, I'll gladly keep you by my side.

Edelgard
The path I must walk...is soaked in blood. It's a path that can lead to madness, can snatch away one's future, and can even take one's life.

Edelgard
And the pool of blood at my feet is growing larger. Those stains can never be washed clean.

Hubert
Please leave the violence to me.

Hubert
A leader must be seen as pure. Above the fray.

Hubert
Allow me to paint the path that lies before you red with the blood of your enemies. I will do it gladly.
