Bah! What rubbish. He sings of conciliation, but I know a threat when I read it.
link Cornelia volume_up
Shouldn't you take better care of a letter from your dear nephew, my lord?
link Rufus volume_up
He's not expecting a reply. The creature means to slay me.
link Cornelia volume_up
Your fear of Prince Dimitri runs deeper than I thought.
link Cornelia volume_up
You shouldn't have missed your chance four years ago in Duscur—or two years ago during the suppression of the rebellion.
link Cornelia volume_up
That's twice you failed to kill him.

I've learned my lesson: A lion's cub is still a lion, and one cannot slay a lion with a clumsy scheme.
link Rufus volume_up
It's those monstrous eyes, Cornelia. They terrify me.

The boy is a vicious animal, yet he attempts to feign actual grief that we can't find common ground?
link Rufus volume_up
The aberrance of it shakes me to my core.
link Cornelia volume_up
Ha! I understand completely.

You'll run yourself ragged if you live your days in fear of revenge.

You are meant to rule Faerghus—and you have the power to make it so.
link Cornelia volume_up
Your royal army is the finest in the realm. And if I may be so bold, you also have me.
link Cornelia volume_up
Put your worries to rest, my king. Sleep deeply, and without fear.
link Rufus volume_up
I'm so utterly tired. Tired of being afraid, tired of what I've become... All of it.

I see. And how much longer until Thales gives the word?
link Merchant volume_up
I know only that something is amiss in the Imperial capital.
link Cornelia volume_up
Curse it all! I am not waiting a thousand years for that doddering old fool to act.
link Cornelia volume_up
Rally the western lords and their troops, and be quick about it. Have them make ready to intercept that whelp.
link Merchant volume_up
As you command, Cleobulus.
