Our war with the Alliance has gone on long enough? That's what Minister Bergliez said?
link Monica volume_up
Yes, although he didn't say so begrudgingly. It was almost as if he had come to respect the Alliance and its leaders.

The Minister of Military Affairs, admiring an enemy of the Empire? I cannot say that pleases me.
link Hubert volume_up
The emperor alone has the discretion to decide when to bury the hatchet with a foe...and when to bury it in their back.
link Waldemar volume_up
That foolish warhorse has always caused nothing but trouble for me. You and the emperor should be prepared for more of the same.
link Hubert volume_up
Heh. Then we shall continue to rely upon our Minister of Domestic Affairs to keep him in check.
link Waldemar volume_up
I assure you, that man only ever pretends to listen to what I say.
link Waldemar volume_up
But I will grant that if nothing else, his intuition rarely misses the mark.
link Waldemar volume_up
Therefore, Your Majesty, I would urge you to seek an armistice with the Alliance.
link Edelgard volume_up
I must confess, the same thought occurred to me when I heard that Ferdinand had failed to capture Derdriu.
link Edelgard volume_up
Perhaps it's time we focus the entirety of our armies on the Kingdom front, and cease our attempts to conquer the Alliance through military means.
link Hubert volume_up
Hm, yes. Through military means.

When an opportunity presents itself, send an envoy to Claude. Assuming he doesn't fall to the Almyrans, that is.
link Hubert volume_up
He made short work of one of our armies. He will not lose to Almyra.
link Monica volume_up
We should inform Minister Bergliez of your decision at once.
link Monica volume_up
If he catches wind that the Alliance forces are struggling, he may well charge off to fight Almyra himself.
link Edelgard volume_up
I hardly think he would do something so... On second thought, who knows what that man would do.

Minister Hevring, I shall leave it to you to compose the missive. Please write what you must to ensure the count doesn't do anything rash.
