Edelgard, requesting reinforcements from us? This is not a matter that we can respond to lightly.
linkHildavolume_up
Why? It seems pretty straightforward to me.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Hilda, do you truly believe that Edelgard would so readily put herself in our debt had she any other choice?
linkLorenzvolume_up
That does not sound like the Edelgard I know. She prefers her debts flow in the opposite direction.
linkClaudevolume_up
Ha! Sounds like you two have something in common.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Hmph. I will not deny it. In fact, that is precisely what gives me such insight into her current predicament.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Make no mistake. The situation must be dire if she feels we are her best option.
linkLorenzvolume_up
Simply put, were we to refuse her, it may well lead to her downfall.
linkLeonievolume_up
What are you getting at, Lorenz? You've got a real dark glint in your eye.
linkLorenzvolume_up
The Empire's regime revolves entirely around its current emperor. If Adrestia were to lose her, it would collapse like a house of cards.
linkHolstvolume_up
I see what you mean. At this point, there's no one in the Imperial line who could realistically inherit the throne.
linkClaudevolume_up
In other words, if we abandon Edelgard in her hour of need, the Empire will fall right along with her.
linkClaudevolume_up
Not an argument I expected from someone as self-righteous as you, Lorenz. That sounds more like...
linkShezvolume_up
How else do you explain what's happened to Lorenz?

The idea that I am somehow emulating Claude is preposterous. I am merely proposing what I believe to be the best course of action for Leicester.
linkHildavolume_up
We can debate whether or not we've all become mini-Claudes later. For now, let's hear what the king himself thinks we should do.
linkClaudevolume_up
A battle between the Empire and the Knights of Seiros, with us being the factor that could turn the tides. We've been here before, haven't we?

Last time, I chose to sacrifice Randolph in order to ensure our victory.
