Ah, what a lovely breeze! Truly, there is nothing so liberating as the great outdoors.
link Monica volume_up
Your Majesty, Hubert is looking for you.
link Monica volume_up
My apologies! I didn't realize you were resting.
link Edelgard volume_up
I only stepped out for a bit of fresh air. I'll be ready to return shortly.
link Monica volume_up
Oh, no! Please don't rush back on my account! I am more than happy to keep Hubert occupied in the meantime.
link Monica volume_up
Please, Your Majesty. Enjoy yourself! I'll simply tell him I failed to find you.
link Monica volume_up
Ah, and are you cold? I can bring you a coat and some hot tea.
link Edelgard volume_up
I appreciate the concern, Monica, but I'm quite all right.
link Edelgard volume_up
But while you're here, there is something I must tell you...
link Monica volume_up
Why are you staring at me, Your Majesty? Is there something on my face?
link Edelgard volume_up
I was only going to say how fortunate we are to have you with us.
link Edelgard volume_up
Those who slither in the dark had you in their clutches. In another world, we might've lost you to them forever.
link Monica volume_up
Yes, it seemed they were only keeping me alive so they could use me for some kind of dark ritual.
link Monica volume_up
And I can only assume that would not have ended with me alive and well. You saved my life.
link Monica volume_up
I wish I could express what an honor it was to be personally rescued by the woman I've dedicated my entire life to.
link Edelgard volume_up
That's kind of you to say, but I only did it because I needed the military leverage.
link Monica volume_up
That doesn't matter.
link Monica volume_up
I'm serious when I say that the day you rescued me was the day I stopped simply idolizing you and decided you were the one for me.
link Edelgard volume_up
The...one for you?
link Monica volume_up
Yes! You risked your life to protect a lowly noble like me.
link Edelgard volume_up
You need to understand the situation, Monica. I was fully prepared to sacrifice you if doing so would bring me even one step closer to achieving my goals.
link Edelgard volume_up
I had no intention of rescuing you until right before the opportunity presented itself.
link Monica volume_up
Oh. But, um...why not?
link Edelgard volume_up
I was under the impression that those who slither in the dark needed you quite badly.
link Edelgard volume_up
And as I required their strength to wage my war, I was prepared to look the other way.
link Edelgard volume_up
When we laid out our plans, your death was something we took as a given.
link Monica volume_up
All the same, you still chose to save me in the end.
link Monica volume_up
I don't care how you got to that decision, only that you did.
link Monica volume_up
You could've offered me up as a bargaining chip, but you chose not to.
link Monica volume_up
Instead, you closed that door just so I could be standing here today!
link Edelgard volume_up
Monica, I...
link Monica volume_up
I only get one life, and I can't tell you how lucky I am to share it with you.
link Monica volume_up
It is my destiny to walk beside you, and that makes me happier than you could ever know.
link Edelgard volume_up
Well, thank you. That means a lot.
