Looks like we're safe. Though I have to say, we cut that way closer than I'm comfortable with.

You're telling me. I could've done without that wretched merchant riling up what was left of Gaspard.
link Yuri volume_up
I'm gonna need hazard pay for that one. Remind me to send Dimitri an invoice later.
link Ashe volume_up
Don't trouble His Majesty with such things!
link Yuri volume_up
Easy there, friend. I'm just blowing off some steam. Don't go getting your honor in a twist.
link Ashe volume_up
Well, I am a knight, after all.
link Ashe volume_up
Though after fighting those people from House Gaspard, I wonder if I'm even worthy of the station.
link Yuri volume_up
Our entire job is killing people—it's what we do from sunup to sundown. You really think that line of work won't make you an enemy or three?
link Ashe volume_up
Yes, you're right—and if I needed it, this was certainly a stark reminder.
link Ashe volume_up
Lonato once told me to hold true to my beliefs.
link Ashe volume_up
So I'll keep trusting my own sense of justice and walk the path I've chosen. There's no turning back now.

Now there's the Ashe I know and love.

I never had much of a handle on what justice means— or evil, for that matter.

But when I see that look on your face, it makes me want to root for you all the more.

link Ashe volume_up
Thank you, friend.
link Ashe volume_up
And thanks to you as well, Catherine.
link Catherine volume_up
I could never abandon an ally in need.
link Catherine volume_up
Besides, I owe it to Christophe to keep you alive.
link Shez volume_up
So I probably should've asked this already, but who is Christophe?
link Shez volume_up
So I probably should've asked this already, but who is Christophe?
link Catherine volume_up
Ashe's adoptive older brother, and Lord Lonato's true son.
link Catherine volume_up
We were classmates at the academy... and close friends.
link Catherine volume_up
But when he got swept up in a conspiratorial plot, I had no choice but to put him to the sword.
link Shez volume_up
So I probably should've asked before, but what kinda connection do you have with Lonato?
link Shez volume_up
So I probably should've asked before, but what kinda connection did you have with Lonato?
link Catherine volume_up
I'm responsible for the death of his son, Christophe— Ashe's adoptive older brother.
link Catherine volume_up
In response, Lonato pinned a baseless crime on me, making it impossible for me to ever return home.
link Catherine volume_up
In a way, I suppose I should thank him. If not for that, I never would've taken up with Lady Rhea.
link Yuri volume_up
You really like Rhea, don't you? I actually respect that, and I don't respect much of anything.
link Catherine volume_up
I'd prefer if you respected Lady Rhea rather than me. She truly is wonderful.

This all sounds very...complicated.

link Catherine volume_up
Oh, it is. But you can't escape your past. No one can.
link Catherine volume_up
You, Ashe, Yuri... We all have our baggage.
link Yuri volume_up
Hmph.
link Ashe volume_up
Well, what say we head back? I'm sure everyone is waiting for us.
link Catherine volume_up
Good idea.
link Catherine volume_up
The Kingdom will need to decide how to deal with House Gaspard.
link Ashe volume_up
I hope they can find some measure of peace.
link Ashe volume_up
Regardless, I intend to help them however I can.
link Yuri volume_up
Must you? Whenever you do your best, it tends to make additional work for the rest of us.
link Ashe volume_up
Seriously, Yuri? Can't you just agree with me for once?
link Catherine volume_up
Heh.
link Shez volume_up
What's wrong, Catherine?
link Shez volume_up
What's wrong, Catherine?
link Catherine volume_up
Oh, nothing. Just thinking about the past, is all.
