Lysithea, I know you do not want to talk about it, but I am aware of a certain...anxiousness on your part when it comes to joining the commonfolk.
linkLysitheavolume_up
I don't know who you heard that absurd idea from, but it's certainly not true.
linkLysitheavolume_up
It's true that I seek to become a commoner...
linkLysitheavolume_up
So when the war is over, I intend to relinquish my peerage and live peacefully with my parents. But anxious? Perish the thought.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
Yet you must be wrestling with serious matters indeed if you are willing to surrender your title.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
And you must have at least some unease about what sort of life a commoner leads.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
From what I hear, every noble who has descended in status is suffering—without exception.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
If such a future awaits you, it is surely just cause for a concern or two.
linkLysitheavolume_up
You speak of fallen nobles who had their rank stripped for one reason or another.
linkLysitheavolume_up
I'm surrendering the trappings of nobility because it's what I want. Don't lump us together.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
I see. Well then, if I might raise a final point?
linkFerdinandvolume_up
What if you become a commoner and live a life which transcends the barrier between the two classes?
linkFerdinandvolume_up
You have experience as a noble of some quality, and it would be a terrible waste to see that buried once you join the proletariat.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
You would bring a unique perspective to your new position, and you could use it to change this world.
linkFerdinandvolume_up
The nobility will certainly listen to any suggestions you have to improve the lives of the public.
linkLysitheavolume_up
Yes, yes, it's all a very pretty thought.
linkLysitheavolume_up
But it is meaningless for me.
linkLysitheavolume_up
It's the duty of nobility to worry about what is best for commoners and the world at large, no?
linkLysitheavolume_up
I can not longer accept responsibility for things in Fódlan.
linkLysitheavolume_up
All I can do is be close to my parents and live out what life remains to me in peace...
