I thought you might be interested to know that Lady Edelgard was overcome with grief as she told me how deeply she regrets wounding you with her words.

But as you desire solitude, I will endeavor to keep that to myself. Good day.
linkMonicavolume_up
She did? And wait, did you not just tell me what she said?
linkHubertvolume_up
Mmm? Oh, not at all. I was merely speaking to myself.

There was a painting in Her Majesty's chambers, and... Subtlety is not my strong suit, to put it lightly.
linkMonicavolume_up
I asked her whose child had scribbled on such an expensive canvas before realizing Her Majesty had actually painted it herself.
linkMonicavolume_up
So she didn't hurt me. I hurt her.

Once this war is settled, Her Majesty will endeavor to tear down the entire concept of the nobility.
linkHubertvolume_up
Her first action will be to separate territory from title, making it so that being a noble no longer means one must lord over some plot of land somewhere.
linkHubertvolume_up
Once she does this, I rather suspect you could remain at her side even if you do inherit your family's title.
linkMonicavolume_up
You're right! How could I have failed to realize that?
linkMonicavolume_up
I have heard her talk about her plan so many times before, but I never considered what an impact it would have on me!
linkHubertvolume_up
Not at all. You simply illustrate what it is to be part of the established system. One is not easily shaken from its structure.

This is why Her Majesty takes such drastic measures. To rid us of the accepted practice of categorizing individuals as either noble or common.
