Surrender now and I will spare your life.

You're all alone, fancy boy! Whatcha gonna do?
link ??? volume_up
Urgh!
link Hubert volume_up
Heh. Oh, you are positively brutal.
link Petra volume_up
She seemed to be reaching for a weapon. It is better to have safety than sorrow.
link Petra volume_up
Also, she would not have told you any information of usefulness. You have knowledge of this.
link Hubert volume_up
As she is now nothing more than a corpse, I cannot be certain of anything.
link Hubert volume_up
However, I must admit she appeared to be going for her blade. You have my gratitude.
link Petra volume_up
There is no need for thanks. I have awareness that you could have been dealing with that assassin yourself.
link Hubert volume_up
Heh. Perhaps. Still, I must say, I have never hidden atop a tree just in case I needed to put an arrow into someone's back. I must try it sometime.

I imagine such tactics are part and parcel for a woman of Brigid—though I am a touch surprised a queen would resort to them.
link Petra volume_up
Why does it give you surprise? It is the tactic of most cleverness. You can attack with safety and with clear shots at the enemy's vitals.
link Petra volume_up
Or are you thinking that a queen should not be like her people?
link Hubert volume_up
Oh, no. Not in the slightest.
link Hubert volume_up
In fact, I can think of no wiser strategy than for a queen to position herself somewhere safe.

Fódlan's history is littered with foolish rulers who have gleefully ridden off to their own deaths.
link Hubert volume_up
All in the name of the ludicrous, contemptible concept they call chivalry.
link Petra volume_up
Chivalry... Ah, yes! That is the code for the knights.
link Petra volume_up
There are no knights of Brigid. We have agreement that they are without sense.
link Petra volume_up
But in Fódlan I have been reading many books about chivalry.
link Petra volume_up
It is a code without point, yet it is followed by many. I do not have understanding of the reasoning.
link Hubert volume_up
Well, knightly deeds make for good tales—and tales have a way of stretching very easily.
link Hubert volume_up
Over time, it is likely that people let go of the fact while happily embracing the fiction.
link Hubert volume_up
Perhaps Fódlan once enjoyed an era of peace just long enough for that fantasy to take root.
link Petra volume_up
Interesting... It is peace we are wishing for, but also peace that is making us weak.
link Petra volume_up
I am not wanting my land of home to be weak. But I am wanting it to have peace.
link Petra volume_up
The meaning of this is that chivalry may be coming to Brigid one day.
link Hubert volume_up
Despite my grumbling, it is not a system completely without use.
link Hubert volume_up
For example, it serves well enough for keeping otherwise unruly warriors under control.
link Hubert volume_up
Still, one advantage cannot make up for a host of failings. At the end of the day, it is a poor belief system at best.
link Petra volume_up
I will be keeping your words in my mind as I attempt to create an era of peace.
link Hubert volume_up
Yes, begone with the tired old ways and usher in a new age for all. That is what we are fighting for.
