1. We did it! We won! We held the Locket!
  2. Honestly, I expected more of a struggle.
  3. For some reason, the Almyrans just didn't have the [cdb]fight in them.
  4. If they were serious about beating us, we probably [cdb]would've found our backs against the wall.
  5. What matters is that we're safe, and no one from our [cdb]house was killed.
  6. Thanks to Holst! He was out there taking on [cdb]thousands of soldiers all by himself!
  7. I don't think it was actually "thousands," although I [cdb]agree it was an impressive sight.
  8. Compete for attention with Holst.
  9. Admit he's the better fighter.
  10. Yeah, well, give me a couple years and I'll be swatting [cdb]down tens of thousands!
  11. Yeah, well, give me a couple years and I'll be swatting [cdb]down tens of thousands!
  12. I can see why he's Leicester's greatest warrior. I only [cdb]hope I can reach that kind of skill someday.
  13. I can see why he's Leicester's greatest warrior. I only [cdb]hope I can reach that kind of skill someday.
  14. If you're setting the bar at Holst, I guess I'd better [cdb]aim high, too. I mean, being a fellow merc and all.
  15. Kind of nuts to think the Almyran prince personally [cdb]led their army against us.
  16. From what I've heard, he's vying with the others for [cdb]the throne.
  17. That kind of motive makes people dangerous. We'd best stay on our toes.
  18. You think? I felt like we did a pretty good job of [cdb]slamming the door in his face just now.
  19. If it's a throne he's after, we just kicked him a little [cdb]further away from it.
  20. An embarrassing loss like this ought to deter any [cdb]other siblings from trying the same stunt.
  21. If they're reasonable people—which is a big "if."
  22. You should trade places with my brother for a while [cdb]and see how fun it is to keep chasing the Almyrans [cdb]away.
  23. You know what? You're right. I'm sorry.
  24. Huh?
  25. We let House Goneril do all the heavy lifting, [cdb]which isn't fair—and it isn't how you lead. On behalf [cdb]of my house, I apologize.
  26. Oh, right. I forgot you're technically representing [cdb]your grandfather here.
  27. You came through with speedy reinforcements, [cdb]and for that, I'm grateful.
  28. Also, Margrave Edmund showed me your budget for [cdb]restorations to the Locket.
  29. I hear you personally intervened to make sure the [cdb]funds were secured? Very thorough—and very [cdb]helpful.
  30. Between that and your impressive tact on the [cdb]battlefield, the Alliance will be in good hands once [cdb]you take the reins.
  31. Hey, it's an honor to be accepted by a man as valiant [cdb]as you. I think we'll get along just fine.
  32. That we will.
  33. Glad to hear it. So now that the battle's over...
  34. I want to feast until I burst! C'mon, let's all go toast [cdb]to Leicester's bright future!
