Show them this letter. Threaten them. Do what you must. Now, go.

Yes, sir!

Hubert, that letter. Is that what I think it was?
link
Hubert
volume_up

I suppose there's no denying it.

Ferdinand

But Edelgard—
link
Hubert
volume_up

Explicitly forbade me to send it. Yes, I know.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I cannot believe it! You disobeyed a direct order?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I thought you were her loyal aide.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Unwaveringly. All that I do, I do for her.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I seem to recall you expressing a similar sentiment.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It is our role to guide her when she is on the wrong course of action. Is that not what you said?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

You are not supposed to do it in secret!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

When you disagree with your leader, you must voice your concerns directly. Otherwise, what is the point?
link
Hubert
volume_up

The point is the same. Lady Edelgard's best interests are served, whether she knows it or not.
link
Hubert
volume_up

She needs not trouble herself with the mundane details of my actions. Only results matter.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

You are sorely misguided!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

When I believe that Edelgard is making a mistake, I tell her as much.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Through discussing the matter, I sometimes find that I was mistaken.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

To skip that process, to make a decision that is not yours to make...
link
Hubert
volume_up

Perhaps your advice is simply useless, then.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Excuse me?!
link
Hubert
volume_up

Listen to yourself. If I do as Lady Edelgard requires, then you tell me to be more independent.
link
Hubert
volume_up

But if I tread my own path, I am misguided!
link
Hubert
volume_up

I suppose the fault is mine for expecting any useful advice to come out of your mouth. Heh.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Ugh, I have had enough of your grousing.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

To think, I started to believe you were a useful aide!
