0. Edelgard, do you have a moment?
1. Of course, Ferdinand. But please keep it short.
2. It is about my father.
3. My pleas for a fair trial cost you time and delayed [cdb]his sentencing.
4. It also gave the Knights of Seiros an opening to [cdb]conduct their raid, which provided him ample [cdb]opportunity to stage an escape.
5. I am to blame for all that has transpired.
6. Let me hurry you along to the point, if I may.
7. What are you going to do about it? Or, more likely, [cdb]what do you want me to do about it?
8. Put me in the field when we retake Fort Merceus and [cdb]permit me to rectify my own mistake.

16. I came to give you the latest report, Your Majesty, [cdb]but decided to wait until this...other business reached [cdb]its conclusion.
17. Then you know what must be done. Make sure he's [cdb]given protection.
18. Oh, I will if I find the time. You do keep me quite [cdb]busy, after all.
19. You found a way to take care of them?
20. I can assure you those cretins will rue ever setting [cdb]foot in Her Majesty's fortress.
21. They wanted thick walls, and we will give them the [cdb]thickest ones a coffin can provide.
22. This is our chance to decimate the forces of those [cdb]who slither in the dark...
