Edelgard, Hubert enter the scene

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.

Part I
Part II

Edelgard

But when I see you at the monastery, studying with the others...

Edelgard

But when I recall how you were at the monastery, studying with the others...

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.

Part I
Part II

Hubert

But I cannot deny that I find myself enjoying my time at the monastery.

Hubert

But I cannot deny that I enjoyed the time I spent at the monastery.

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.
