Hubert, Petra enter the scene

Hubert, I have a request to give you, if I may be doing that?
link
Hubert

Hello, Petra. How unusually formal.
link
Petra
volume_up

You are always comparing me against Edelgard.
link
Petra
volume_up

I have been observing you, and you are not often making comparisons like that.
link
Petra
volume_up

So why are you always comparing me? I do not enjoy being compared.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Hmm. An astute observation.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I should point out that such a comparison only reflects well on you.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I am perhaps doing so because you are both royalty.
link
Petra
volume_up

That is not making sense to me...
link
Petra
volume_up

In battle, you and I are the same. Neither of us has a higher rank than general.
link
Petra
volume_up

Edelgard is leading the entire army, but you and I are both leading a part of the army.
link
Petra
volume_up

That should be making us...what is it... Ah! Comrades in arms.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Comrades in arms, you say...
link
Petra
volume_up

When you are looking at me, you are thinking of me compared to Edelgard.
link
Petra
volume_up

But I want you to be looking at me as only myself. Do you have understanding?
link
Petra
volume_up

I do not want you seeing me as foreign royalty, but as your comrade in arms, who is working with you at your side.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Ah. I understand you, now. It seems I've done you a great disservice, Petra.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Your friendship is important to me. I am sorry that I've failed to make that clear.
link
Hubert
volume_up

By comparing you to Lady Edelgard, I have treated you merely as one chasing after her shadow.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I have done so even while believing that the Empire and Brigid would never go to war again.
link
Petra
volume_up

Do you really think you can stop comparing? I am knowing well that Edelgard takes a big place inside your heart.
link
Hubert
volume_up

I do not fully understand it, but when I look at you, I simply cannot help but think of Her Majesty.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Your past, full of hardship. Your unwavering determination. Your uncommon excellence.
link
Hubert
volume_up

As such, I cannot promise never to compare you. But I will try my best to do so less often.
link
Petra
volume_up

Hm...
link
Petra
volume_up

For now, that will be OK. But I will not be giving up on this.
link
Petra
volume_up

And I want you knowing that one day, when you are comparing, you will be finding I have won the comparison.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Heh. What an amusing thing to say.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Lady Edelgard's face would contort most bitterly were she to hear it.
link
Petra
volume_up

Be marking my words, Hubert. One day, between the two of us, you will be choosing me.
