Ah, Petra. Fancy running into you here.
link Hubert volume_up
How are you acclimating to life in Her Majesty's army? We are constantly traveling all across Fódlan, so I'm sure there is a lot to adjust to.
link Petra volume_up
I find myself being cold often. But the others have shown great kindness in telling me what to expect. I have no troubles.
link Hubert volume_up
Heh. Marvelous.
link Hubert volume_up
I want nothing more than for you to fit in and feel comfortable. Know that there is a permanent place for you in this army if you so desire.
link Petra volume_up
No. I will be returning to Brigid when the war is finished.
link Petra volume_up
I am going to be queen. That day is approaching with quickness.
link Hubert volume_up
Yes, I am very much aware.
link Hubert volume_up
And upon your coronation, Brigid will be released from its vassalage to the Empire.
link Hubert volume_up
Her Majesty and your grandfather have agreed to this in secret.
link Petra volume_up
For having consideration of Brigid's interests, I give Lady Edelgard and Duke Gerth my gratitude.
link Hubert volume_up
As I understand it, the Minister of Foreign Affairs pursued this particular policy most vigorously.
link Hubert volume_up
He has met with far more success now that Lord Arundel is no longer around to impede him.
link Hubert volume_up
I might even go so far as to say the duke looks like a new man.
link Petra volume_up
A new man? No. He is still being the same man.
link Hubert volume_up
Well...yes. I suppose you have me there.
link Hubert volume_up
Regardless, I do hope that you can forgive us.
link Hubert volume_up
Though we would very much like to make our agreement with Brigid public, doing so now would be most unwise.
link Petra volume_up
I have understanding. The war of seven years ago still has freshness in the minds of many.
link Petra volume_up
You do not want to give them cause for anger when this war has not reached its finish yet.
link Hubert volume_up
I'm glad you appreciate the situation, as I was certain you would.
link Petra volume_up
But...all in Brigid have knowledge of our agreement. Every man, woman, and child.
link Petra volume_up
If it is broken, they will have knowledge of that as well. Blood would be spilling.
link Hubert volume_up
Petra! Was that a threat?
link Petra volume_up
Not a threat. A concern. I know I can place trust in the word of the Empire.
link Petra volume_up
The emperor would never be breaking a promise. Would she, Hubert?
link Hubert volume_up
Wha— Hah... Ahaha!
link Hubert volume_up
I beg your pardon, Queen Petra! Clearly I failed to realize that you had already ascended the throne!
link Hubert volume_up
Rest assured, our promise will be kept.
link Hubert volume_up
If Her Majesty and yourself are any example, the Empire and Brigid will support each other and walk into the future side by side.
link Petra volume_up
And I have certainty that you will be there, witnessing it.
