Hm. I will need to settle this matter posthaste.
link Hilda volume_up
Hey, Lorenz! What's wrong? If that frown was any lower it'd be falling off your face.
link Lorenz volume_up
Hm? Ah, hello, Hilda.
link Hilda volume_up
Have you been sleeping enough? Your body can't survive off grumbling and worry, you know.
link Lorenz volume_up
I appreciate the concern, but I'm afraid I have no choice in the matter.
link Lorenz volume_up
Between the two of us, it appears as though my father is preparing to pass down the title of count to me.
link Lorenz volume_up
As you're already aware, I have inherited the title of Count Gloucester from my father.
link Lorenz volume_up
As such, I must find a suitable partner to be my wife. It is an issue of utmost urgency.
link Hilda volume_up
Yeah, that does sound like a lot. Is that why you look so crabby?
link Hilda volume_up
I don't know, though. I don't think you need to worry. I'm sure you'll find the right person in no time.
link Lorenz volume_up
If only I had your confidence. The conditions for marrying into the distinguished House Gloucester are quite strict indeed.
link Lorenz volume_up
My partner must not only be willing to live alongside me as a proud noble, but share in the responsibilities that house leadership entails.
link Lorenz volume_up
I hope I can find such an ideal woman. Ah, but how is the situation in House Goneril?
link Hilda volume_up
My house?
link Lorenz volume_up
Your father has chosen Holst to carry on the family name, has he not? He will soon receive the title to the house, if that is to go by.
link Lorenz volume_up
I was simply wondering what course of action you were planning to take once that happens.
link Lorenz volume_up
Your father recently passed leadership of House Goneril along to your brother Holst, did he not?
link Lorenz volume_up
I was simply wondering what course of action you were planning to take in the matter.
link Hilda volume_up
Well...I don't know! I mean, the stuff my brother's up to doesn't really have much to do with me.
link Hilda volume_up
Hmmm. If I had to pick, maybe I'd go traveling? I've always wanted to see the world.
link Hilda volume_up
I'll go all over the place, taking in the sights, eating the best food Fódlan has to offer.
link Hilda volume_up
Obviously not till the war's over and everything's cooled off, though.
link Lorenz volume_up
Traveling, hm? Quite an unexpected answer.
link Lorenz volume_up
Though I must say, earning permission from your father or Holst will be no easy feat.
link Lorenz volume_up
Grand adventures such as those are fraught with danger at every turn. I can only imagine the perils you might face with disease or scornful local lords.
link Lorenz volume_up
If you'd like my opinion, I believe settling down and pursuing a life of leisure much better suits your carefree personality.
link Hilda volume_up
Maybe, but there's a time and place for everything, you know? I can travel first, then spend my days relaxing later!
link Hilda volume_up
And besides, Holst and my dad both spoil me rotten, so I don't think convincing them's going to be too big a deal.
link Hilda volume_up
Oh, but I probably shouldn't go anywhere that gets too hot or too cold.
link Hilda volume_up
Extremes aren't really my thing.
link Lorenz volume_up
In that case, I know the prime location.
link Lorenz volume_up
There is a wonderful little place within Leicester borders, with boundless forests and crystal-blue rivers, and the most exquisitely comfortable climate.
link Lorenz volume_up
It's also rather close to Goneril territory, so your family will be able to rest at ease.
link Hilda volume_up
Let me guess, is it Gloucester?
link Lorenz volume_up
Ah, you're quick to catch on. It is one and the same, Hilda.
link Hilda volume_up
Thought so. I guess I wouldn't mind adding it to the itinerary.
