1. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, but I swear I will avenge you. Please just wait a little longer.
  2. I will uncover who drove you to your deaths, [cdb]no matter the cost.
  3. Dimitri.
  4. Gle— Oh, Felix. It's you. I'm sorry you had to [cdb]see that.
  5. After 20 years, I've seen all of you there is to see.
  6. Everyone else is asleep—you know that, right? So why are you locked up here in the chapel?
  7. Also, what's with the mumbling?
  8. I suppose there's little sense in hiding it from you...
  9. I suffer from a kind of...waking dream. I see them. I see the people who died on that day, at all hours [cdb]light and dark.
  10. "If the Empire was involved in that incident... If the emperor stood by and gave tacit consent..."
  11. "Then give to them the same end. Gouge out their [cdb]hearts and cleave their heads from their shoulders." Those are the words the dead scream at me.
  12. When did this start?
  13. It's been six years. But I began hearing their voices [cdb]four years ago, during my first battle.
  14. I recognized the enemy general as a man I had seen [cdb]in Duscur.
  15. When I removed his head, the voices...cheered. They laughed. It was as if a terrible pain had finally [cdb]been lifted from them.
  16. I think I get what's happening here.
  17. Look, do you really think your father and Glenn and [cdb]everyone else would be torturing you like that?
  18. You're the one who's doing this, Dimitri. Not them. You.
  19. Even if that were true, I can never forgive myself.
  20. Believe me, I know.
  21. But it's your job to lead. If you lose your path, [cdb]you'll take everyone else down with you.
  22. So try to keep that whole "removing their heads" [cdb]thing in check, yeah? We can just call it our little [cdb]secret.
  23. Well then, are you offering to let me unburden my [cdb]heart to you when the time calls for it?
  24. Ugh.
  25. You're the only reason I haven't descended into [cdb]utter savagery, you know.
  26. So just as Loog had Kyphon and my father [cdb]had Rodrigue...
  27. I would ask that you continue to be my [cdb]right-hand man.
  28. Right-hand man, huh? I like the sound of that.
  29. What are you doing?!
  30. As your new right-hand man, my first act is to haul [cdb]my restless king back to bed where he belongs.
  31. This is absurd! My feet are dragging on the floor!
  32. It's your own fault for being so tall, you sack of [cdb]muscle.
  33. Heh. Say, do you remember how I once carried you [cdb]in this way when you twisted your ankle?
  34. Yeah, turns out lugging folks around is [cdb]good training—so just cram it and let me [cdb]finish my workout already.
  35. Yes, of course. Please, carry on.
