- Nice work, everyone! Derdriu and the harbor are
[cdb]both safe now.
- We'd have been toast if Nader didn't show up.
- We'd have been toast if Nader didn't show up.
- Hahaha! You've got a long way to go if third-rate
[cdb]crooks like that are giving you trouble.
- In our defense, we'd have been fine if we could've
[cdb]brought a few more soldiers along.
- I don't know, kiddo. You're good at the whole
"confidence" side of things, but not so hot when it
[cdb]comes to actually sealing the deal.
- A man who calls himself Nader the Undefeated says
I'm overconfident? That's rich.
- Cut it out, you two. This friendly banter is going to
[cdb]make me sick if you keep it up.
- You clearly know each other better than you're
[cdb]letting on.
- Say, kiddo. Maybe now's the time to...you know?
- Ah. Right. Actually, Judith, this is probably a good
[cdb]opportunity for me to come clean about something.
- I'm waiting.
- My mother is in Almyra, and has been for the last
[cdb]twenty years.
- Lady Tiana? Huh. Well, that's a bit unexpected,
[cdb]but not altogether surprising.
- That's where I was born. Almyra. And my father...
He's the king.
- Wait.
- So that makes you...an Almyran prince?
- I am. Sorry I didn't tell you before.
- Well, this certainly isn't something I expected to hear
[cdb]today. Still, I imagine it's not easy to bring up.
- So what's your deal? You don't seem surprised by this
[cdb]at all.
- Say you already had it figured out.
- Claim your mind is blown.
- Yeah, I never heard any of it directly from Claude,
[cdb]but I thought as much.
- Yeah, I never heard any of it directly from Claude,
[cdb]but I thought as much.
- I figured it out right around the time we
[cdb]fought Shahid.
- I figured it out right around the time we
[cdb]fought Shahid.
- Oh, right. So that would've made him...your brother?
- Hey, I'm still trying to put all the pieces together.
- Hey, I'm still trying to put all the pieces together.
- I could tell Shahid was close to Claude somehow
[cdb]when we were fighting him, but...
- I could tell Shahid was close to Claude somehow
[cdb]when we were fighting him, but...
- Wait, Shahid was a prince too, right? Which would've
[cdb]made him...your brother?
- Different mothers, but yeah, he was my older brother.
I didn't want to fight him—I really didn't—but...
- Well, for the sake of both Fódlan and Almyra,
[cdb]he had to be dealt with.
- Your brother thought he was doing right by Almyra...
in his own way.
- There's always been unrest in the royal family.
Everyone fighting over the right of succession.
- But that man would've been a terrible king.
His lust for power just...consumed him.
- So does this mean my little Claude is going to return
[cdb]to Almyra and seize the throne one day?
- I don't know. For right now, I'm more concerned
[cdb]about my duties as king of the Federation.
- Eventually, I plan to tell everyone about where I
[cdb]came from.
- But for now, keep it to yourself. I don't wanna make
[cdb]things more complicated than they need to be.
- I won't tell a soul, so long as you answer me one
[cdb]question.
- Have you ever sought to deceive us? Either as the
[cdb]leader of the Alliance, or as king?
- Never. Leicester and Fódlan are my home,
[cdb]and I intend to fight for everyone who lives here.
- So...do you trust me?
- I do, little Claude. Or, Your Majesty, I should say.
Just don't let me down.
- I won't, Judith. And thanks.
