Hmph!
link Edelgard volume_up
Bored, are we?
link Jeritza volume_up
Training is useless. Swords are for killing.
link Edelgard volume_up
I can see why you'd find it vexing. To you, real battles are a source of sustenance.
link Edelgard volume_up
It's easy to forget how some people welcome this war—especially the Death Knight.
link Jeritza volume_up
Without the war, I would just be killing someone less deserving.
link Jeritza volume_up
When it ends, our contract expires.
link Jeritza volume_up
Then I face my punishment.
link Edelgard volume_up
You're still adamant about that? I agree that— circumstances aside—a crime like yours warrants some kind of punishment.
link Edelgard volume_up
But there are other ways to go about it. For example, you could atone for your sins by doing good in the world.
link Edelgard volume_up
Or is anything less than perdition off the table?
link Edelgard volume_up
It's not as if the members of House Bartels were completely innocent, after all.
link Jeritza volume_up
...
link Jeritza volume_up
That is what you want. Not me.
link Jeritza volume_up
It is my future. I choose how I live and die.
link Edelgard volume_up
...
link Edelgard volume_up
Well, I'm sorry to hear you'll be leaving us, but I do respect your resolve.
link Edelgard volume_up
I'm pleased you're choosing to live and face the consequences instead of taking the craven's way out.
link Jeritza volume_up
Let them lock me up. And if I'm ever forgiven...
link Jeritza volume_up
Let them lock me up. It is for the best.
link Jeritza volume_up
This is my path. If I die in a cell, so be it.
link Edelgard volume_up
Well, whatever you seek for yourself, I hope you find it. I truly do.
link Edelgard volume_up
We all deserve to be the architects of our own lives.
link Edelgard volume_up
I believe that so fiercely that I started a war to remake the world under that ideal.
link Jeritza volume_up
You did so much for me. I'm sorry it came to this.
link Edelgard volume_up
Don't apologize. If anything, I'm grateful.
link Edelgard volume_up
Thank you, Emile. I mean, Jeritza.
link Jeritza
...
link Edelgard volume_up
Ah, so I won't get scolded for saying the wrong name? That's a step forward.
link Jeritza volume_up
Ugh...
link Edelgard volume_up
Whatever you and I expect from tomorrow, we have to keep fighting for it. Are you with me?
link Jeritza volume_up
I am.
