Hubert, my boy. It's rather rare for the two of us to see one another with no one else around, isn't it?

Hubert

Yes, I believe it is.

Hanneman

I was good friends with your father, you know. Perhaps this is fate, eh?
link
Hanneman

Of course, when I left the Empire, I broke off my friendship with him...and, well, everyone else.

Hubert

You were right to sever ties with such a miserable piece of filth.

Hanneman

Sharp words, Hubert. Contemptible though your father may be, he is still your father.

Hubert
volume_up

Don't overcomplicate it. I will not forgive him. Ever.

Hubert

Contemptible is just the right word for the wretch.

Hubert

Do you truly know what kind of man my father is?

Hubert

Do you truly know what kind of man my father was?

I assume you're talking about the Insurrection of the Seven.

At the time, I was already at Garreg Mach. I know nothing more than hearsay.

That said, I found it hard to believe that Lord Vestra would challenge the emperor like that.

Hubert
volume_up

Yet that's exactly what he did.

Hubert

Since the dawn of the Adrestian Empire, House Vestra has served House Hresvelg as the emperor's right hand.

My father spat on a legacy of loyalty and devotion that had lasted 1,100 years.

Hubert

He conspired with the ministers to usurp power from the emperor. And Lady Edelgard...

Hanneman

In your father's defense, the emperor was attempting to take power from the Seven Houses.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

The emperor's reform was an attempt to concentrate power in the hands of the throne.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

The nobles...put a stop to that. Emperor Ionius lost the ensuing power struggle.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Now it is the nobles' turn to suffer defeat. Lady Edelgard will be emperor.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Now it is the nobles' turn to suffer defeat. Her Majesty will crush all who oppose her.

Hanneman

You hope she can cease this never-ending conflict? That's quite a goal, Hubert...
