I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Are you enjoying your stay at the palace?

More than I expected, though I do feel a bit out of place here.

I'm a merc—I don't really fit in, you know?

Understandable. Everyone here either is a noble themselves or serves one. However, that will change.

As emperor, I plan to end discrimination based on social status.

Everyone will have a chance to rise to the top, whether they are born into the aristocracy or not.

No more nobles or commoners, huh? That does sound pretty great. I'll be impressed if you can actually pull it off.

Oh, I will. But at the moment, I have a proposition for you.

Go on.

We've successfully expunged the prime minister and the rest of that puppet government.

But a certain amount of unrest is unavoidable, which means I must remain here in the capital.

In other words, I can't go back to Garreg Mach and continue my studies.

What about the others?

Our noble families will be in disarray as we transition to my system and new heads of household take power.

Of course, some like Dorothea are not as affected as the other students.

But all of them have offered to stay and help rather than return to the monastery without us.

If you'd be willing to do the same, I'd like to offer you a top post in my new military.

Now there's a tantalizing offer. It's not like you have any real obligation to the church, plus it sounds like quite the thrill!

I'm more of a hired sword than an officer.

Which is why you're perfect. Hubert wants to recruit mercenaries such as yourself and form a new unit.
link Edelgard volume_up
I can't put some noble in command of them—that would be ill-advised.
link Edelgard volume_up
But they would listen to a capable fighter such as you. You're Hubert's first and only choice.

I don't know if I really have the experience for it...
