Well, if it isn't the honorable Count Gloucester. You're looking quite busy today.
link Lorenz volume_up
Ah, Lysithea.
link Lorenz volume_up
Indeed I am. As count, I now bear the great burden of ensuring those who live within my territory are safe and prosperous.
link Lorenz volume_up
Such a vital matter requires my leadership in diplomacy, military efforts, and economic measures, yet I will gladly handle them all to protect my people.
link Lysithea volume_up
Your burden as a count, huh?
link Lorenz volume_up
Precisely. Hilda's older brother, the venerable Lord Holst, is also making great strides as the new head of House Goneril.
link Lorenz volume_up
I even hear Margrave Edmund is preparing to hand succession of his title off to our dear Marianne.
link Lorenz volume_up
On the other hand, Margrave Edmund no longer has a successor. Such loss is...immeasurable.
link Lorenz volume_up
Yet now that I think about it, I've heard not a word regarding the future of House Ordelia.
link Lysithea volume_up
...
link Lorenz volume_up
When will you be inheriting your rightful title, Lysithea?
link Lysithea volume_up
I...have no intention of doing so. House Ordelia will end with my father.
link Lorenz volume_up
I see. May I ask your reasoning?
link Lysithea volume_up
My parents have been subject to one horrible experience after another for decades now, precisely because they are nobility.
link Lysithea volume_up
So, I want them to be able to live out their golden years at least in a little bit of peace without the responsibilities of the house tying them down.
link Lysithea volume_up
Yet...they would lose everything were the territory to fall into chaos after they vacated the leadership.
link Lysithea volume_up
I'm doing everything I can at present to make sure our people continue to be safe and fulfilled, even once my parents are gone.
link Lorenz volume_up
Hm.
link Lorenz volume_up
You needn't keep all your worries to yourself, Lysithea. I am always here to extend my aid!
link Lorenz volume_up
Please, come to me if you ever need anything at all. You must not be afraid to rely on others, you know.
link Lorenz volume_up
There is no shame in asking for help. Especially when it comes to such important matters as one's family.
link Lysithea volume_up
It's not like I'm ashamed or anything!
link Lorenz volume_up
Lysithea. If you ask me, I believe you should take the title of Count Ordelia for yourself.
link Lorenz volume_up
You act now for the well-being of your parents, yet you do not let that cloud your concern for the commonfolk of your territory.
link Lorenz volume_up
Is there anyone better suited for the role than you? In my eyes, no!
link Lysithea volume_up
Urgh.
link Lorenz volume_up
Something tells me there is another reason, your parents aside, that you refuse to inherit the title.
link Lysithea volume_up
Ah!
link Lorenz volume_up
Which is exactly why you must turn to your companions for advice. We are deserving of that much trust at least, yes?
link Lorenz volume_up
After all, we are all working together to unite Fódlan under one flag. Relying on us is the first step to solving your problems.
link Lorenz volume_up
After all, we are all working together to stop this war. Relying on us is the first step to solving your problems.
link Lorenz volume_up
After all, we are all working together to stop this war. Relying on us is the first step to solving your problems.
link Lorenz volume_up
More than anything, I, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, will do everything in my power to assist you!
link Lysithea volume_up
Fine, fine! But can we leave this discussion until after the war?
link Lysithea volume_up
In the meantime, I'll just have to keep an eye on you to see if you're really as dependable as you say.
link Lorenz volume_up
Very well, you may witness my dependable nature to your heart's content! Ahahaha!
link Lysithea volume_up
I hope I have the time to.
