Urgh... Do you really think you can afford to kill me?
link Cornelia volume_up
If you do, the truth about the Tragedy of Duscur will evaporate into the shadows. Forever.

I have no intention of slaying you. Not yet. But if you have something to say, I suggest you spit it out before I change my mind.

Now Cornelia. Earlier you said my father was betrayed, murdered by lords from within Faerghus.
link Dimitri volume_up
But it was you who fueled the flame of that betrayal.
link Dimitri volume_up
You saw my uncle and Lord Arundel join hands, and you brought the western lords and the Imperial nobles together. All of it was you.
link Cornelia volume_up
What a fascinating theory.
link Dimitri volume_up
There are two things I need to know.
link Dimitri volume_up
First, your motivation. Who are you working for, and why?
link Dimitri volume_up
I know what spurred my uncle and the western lords to act. While the Empire has long smoldered, waiting for even the slightest spark to reignite their fury.
link Dimitri volume_up
There are a thousand reasons why one might want to assassinate a king. But what's yours for this attempt on my life?
link Dimitri volume_up
And what of my father? Why murder him in a manner as roundabout as a staged raid?
link Dimitri volume_up
All you had to do was fail to end the plague twenty years ago, and the entire royal family would've been consumed by it.
link Cornelia volume_up
You have a point, but I couldn't say. In a sense, that was another lifetime completely.
link Dimitri volume_up
One more question, then. My stepmother's body was never recovered from the site of the Tragedy.
link Dimitri volume_up
What happened to her? Tell me, Cornelia.
link Cornelia volume_up
You'll find the answers you seek in the Imperial capital. Though you'll have to extract them from your dearest stepsister.
link Cornelia volume_up
She must surely know something, wouldn't you think? After all, she is your stepmother's actual flesh and blood.
link Dimitri volume_up
In Enbarr?
link Cornelia volume_up
Now, I've really enjoyed our little chat here, but I have so many places to be.
link Dimitri volume_up
Why you!
link Cornelia volume_up
Don't be so sad. You'll be seeing me again before you even know it!
