Father, between your feigned betrayal and surprise attack at the Great Bridge, your leadership in this war has been nothing short of exceptional.
linkLorenzvolume_up
However, I must ask why you felt it necessary to exclude me from your plans! I could've assisted you, had only I known your intentions.
linkErwinvolume_up
No. If Derdriu had fallen, House Gloucester would have remained a loyal vassal to the Empire.
linkErwinvolume_up
There was no need for you to share the stigma of that betrayal. I wanted your hands to remain clean.
linkErwinvolume_up
You are, after all, the heir to the noble House Gloucester.
linkErwinvolume_up
But I will tell you this. Claude von Riegan is dangerous. In this matter, I allowed him to inveigle me into going along with his scheme.
linkErwinvolume_up
And what was borne of this plan of his? Much of our domain became a battlefield, its citizens exposed to considerable peril.
linkLorenzvolume_up
That seems a small price to pay considering all we have gained.
linkErwinvolume_up
An Alliance leader who dismisses any amount of suffering is unfit to bear the title. I am convinced that Claude will never understand this.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Now, that is not necessarily...
linkErwinvolume_up
Listen to me, Lorenz! I am done obeying that reckless child.
linkLorenzvolume_up
You cannot mean to secede from the Alliance.
linkErwinvolume_up
No, of course not. I intend to yield my title.
