1. Nice work, everyone! Derdriu and the harbor are [cdb]both safe now.
  2. We'd have been toast if Nader didn't show up.
  3. We'd have been toast if Nader didn't show up.
  4. Hahaha! You've got a long way to go if third-rate [cdb]crooks like that are giving you trouble.
  5. In our defense, we'd have been fine if we could've [cdb]brought a few more soldiers along.
  6. I don't know, kiddo. You're good at the whole "confidence" side of things, but not so hot when it [cdb]comes to actually sealing the deal.
  7. A man who calls himself Nader the Undefeated says I'm overconfident? That's rich.
  8. Cut it out, you two. This friendly banter is going to [cdb]make me sick if you keep it up.
  9. You clearly know each other better than you're [cdb]letting on.
  10. Say, kiddo. Maybe now's the time to...you know?
  11. Ah. Right. Actually, Judith, this is probably a good [cdb]opportunity for me to come clean about something.
  12. I'm waiting.
  13. My mother is in Almyra, and has been for the last [cdb]twenty years.
  14. Lady Tiana? Huh. Well, that's a bit unexpected, [cdb]but not altogether surprising.
  15. That's where I was born. Almyra. And my father... He's the king.
  16. Wait.
  17. So that makes you...an Almyran prince?
  18. I am. Sorry I didn't tell you before.
  19. Well, this certainly isn't something I expected to hear [cdb]today. Still, I imagine it's not easy to bring up.
  20. So what's your deal? You don't seem surprised by this [cdb]at all.
  21. Say you already had it figured out.
  22. Claim your mind is blown.
  23. Yeah, I never heard any of it directly from Claude, [cdb]but I thought as much.
  24. Yeah, I never heard any of it directly from Claude, [cdb]but I thought as much.
  25. I figured it out right around the time we [cdb]fought Shahid.
  26. I figured it out right around the time we [cdb]fought Shahid.
  27. Oh, right. So that would've made him...your brother?
  28. Hey, I'm still trying to put all the pieces together.
  29. Hey, I'm still trying to put all the pieces together.
  30. I could tell Shahid was close to Claude somehow [cdb]when we were fighting him, but...
  31. I could tell Shahid was close to Claude somehow [cdb]when we were fighting him, but...
  32. Wait, Shahid was a prince too, right? Which would've [cdb]made him...your brother?
  33. Different mothers, but yeah, he was my older brother. I didn't want to fight him—I really didn't—but...
  34. Well, for the sake of both Fódlan and Almyra, [cdb]he had to be dealt with.
  35. Your brother thought he was doing right by Almyra... in his own way.
  36. There's always been unrest in the royal family. Everyone fighting over the right of succession.
  37. But that man would've been a terrible king. His lust for power just...consumed him.
  38. So does this mean my little Claude is going to return [cdb]to Almyra and seize the throne one day?
  39. I don't know. For right now, I'm more concerned [cdb]about my duties as king of the Federation.
  40. Eventually, I plan to tell everyone about where I [cdb]came from.
  41. But for now, keep it to yourself. I don't wanna make [cdb]things more complicated than they need to be.
  42. I won't tell a soul, so long as you answer me one [cdb]question.
  43. Have you ever sought to deceive us? Either as the [cdb]leader of the Alliance, or as king?
  44. Never. Leicester and Fódlan are my home, [cdb]and I intend to fight for everyone who lives here.
  45. So...do you trust me?
  46. I do, little Claude. Or, Your Majesty, I should say. Just don't let me down.
  47. I won't, Judith. And thanks.
