- We did it! We won! We held the Locket!
- Honestly, I expected more of a struggle.
- For some reason, the Almyrans just didn't have the
[cdb]fight in them.
- If they were serious about beating us, we probably
[cdb]would've found our backs against the wall.
- What matters is that we're safe, and no one from our
[cdb]house was killed.
- Thanks to Holst! He was out there taking on
[cdb]thousands of soldiers all by himself!
- I don't think it was actually "thousands," although I
[cdb]agree it was an impressive sight.
- Compete for attention with Holst.
- Admit he's the better fighter.
- Yeah, well, give me a couple years and I'll be swatting
[cdb]down tens of thousands!

- I can see why he's Leicester's greatest warrior. I only
[cdb]hope I can reach that kind of skill someday.

[cdb]hope I can reach that kind of skill someday.
- If you're setting the bar at Holst, I guess I'd better
[cdb]aim high, too. I mean, being a fellow merc and all.
- Kind of nuts to think the Almyran prince personally
[cdb]led their army against us.
- From what I've heard, he's vying with the others for
[cdb]the throne.
- That kind of motive makes people dangerous.
We'd best stay on our toes.
- You think? I felt like we did a pretty good job of
[cdb]slamming the door in his face just now.
- If it's a throne he's after, we just kicked him a little
[cdb]further away from it.
- An embarrassing loss like this ought to deter any
[cdb]other siblings from trying the same stunt.
- If they're reasonable people—which is a big "if."
- You should trade places with my brother for a while
[cdb]and see how fun it is to keep chasing the Almyrans
[cdb]away.
- You know what? You're right. I'm sorry.
- Huh?
- We let House Goneril do all the heavy lifting,
[cdb]which isn't fair—and it isn't how you lead. On behalf
[cdb]of my house, I apologize.
- Oh, right. I forgot you're technically representing
[cdb]your grandfather here.
- You came through with speedy reinforcements,
[cdb]and for that, I'm grateful.
- Also, Margrave Edmund showed me your budget for
[cdb]restorations to the Locket.
- I hear you personally intervened to make sure the
[cdb]funds were secured? Very thorough—and very
[cdb]helpful.
- Between that and your impressive tact on the
[cdb]battlefield, the Alliance will be in good hands once
[cdb]you take the reins.
- Hey, it's an honor to be accepted by a man as valiant
[cdb]as you. I think we'll get along just fine.
- That we will.
- Glad to hear it. So now that the battle's over...
- I want to feast until I burst! C'mon, let's all go toast
[cdb]to Leicester's bright future!
