Completely unreasonable. How will I see to this...

Dorothea enters the scene

Dorothea

Hubie? What are you doing here?
link
Hubert
volume_up

A routine matter. No cause for concern.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Ah, so it's something to do with Edie, then.
link
Hubert
volume_up

And?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

She really is all you ever think about, isn't she?
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Look, I know you're doing all this so that she'll like you, but if you go too far, she'll end up pushing you away. Maybe even hate you.

Hubert

This has nothing to do with swaying Lady Edelgard's sentiments. I am simply her humble servant.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I do what is in her best interest. Whether she cares for me or not is irrelevant.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

It really doesn't look that way to me.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

I bet you'd follow any order Edie gave, if you thought it would make her like you. Am I right?
link
Hubert
volume_up

Any order? What a thing to suggest.
link
Hubert
volume_up

But the answer is no. I will decline any directive that I deem would not be beneficial to her.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Is that right? So, just for example...
link
Dorothea
volume_up

If Edie commanded you to find yourself a suitable wife, would you do it?
link
Hubert
volume_up

If it would benefit her in some way for me to marry, then yes, I would marry.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

It's easy to say that now, with no bridal party in sight. But if it was the day of the wedding? Nah, I don't believe that.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I don't care what you believe.
link
Hubert
volume_up

My only wish is to see Lady Edelgard fulfill her ambitions. All other matters pale in comparison.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

Hubie. "Pale in comparison"? You've seen too many operas. I don't think you understand how the world works. At all.
link
Hubert
volume_up

And I don't care what you think either.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I would make any sacrifice to support Lady Edelgard. It's a shame you've never experienced such devotion.
link
Dorothea
volume_up

You're right. I don't have anyone like that right now. But...maybe someday I will?
link
Hubert
volume_up

Then maybe someday you'll understand. Until then, we will never see eye to eye.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Now, if you will excuse me, I have much to do.

Hubert leaves the scene

Dorothea

Hubie, I don't get you. Although I do find your point of view just fascinating...
