I was waiting for you. You were speaking with Her
Majesty, yes?
Yep, just going over some strategy. Why, did you
[cdb]need me for something?
No, not exactly. So...what did Her Majesty say?
Well, she wanted to get my opinion on how best to
[cdb]utilize our mercenaries, since they all use different
[cdb]weapons.
We're gonna be fighting some upcoming battles on
[cdb]terrain that'll make it harder to use lances, so we were
[cdb]trying to figure out how to deal with that.
And you didn't speak of anything else?
Well yeah, but it probably wouldn't interest you.
Mercenary stuff, y'know.
That's not quite what I meant. There was cake for
[cdb]everyone, was there not?
And I'm pretty certain there were fresh flowers
[cdb]throughout the room. Did you not see them?
Oh yeah, that cake was great. Did you want a piece?
Flowers, though... Hmm. I think maybe there were
[cdb]some little white ones?
Urgh! I have no interest in your opinion. I want to
[cdb]know what Her Majesty thought of them.
Tell her the truth.
Ask why.
Oh, I don't know. She probably said something nice,
[cdb]but I wasn't really paying attention.
You weren't... Never mind. I suppose I will have
[cdb]to ask her myself.
I just want to know what Her Majesty genuinely
[cdb]thought.
Why do you wanna know so badly? Can't you just
[cdb]ask Edelgard?
You never know if a person is giving you their honest
[cdb]opinion when you spring a question on them.
I just want to know what Her Majesty genuinely
[cdb]thought.
Can't help you there, I'm afraid. I wasn't really
[cdb]paying attention.
You were summoned by Her Majesty and granted
[cdb]the honor of giving her counsel. Then, she graciously
[cdb]offered you cake...
And you didn't even have the decency to watch her
[cdb]eat it? Honestly, what is wrong with you?
Sorry if I let you down somehow. I don't think I really
[cdb]get what the big deal is, though.
Want me to go ask her right now?
No, please don't. If Her Majesty learns I was prying
[cdb]about such things...
I do not want to bother her with these trivialities.
Forget I said anything.
Express confusion.
Connect the dots.
I'm still confused, but I'll just go ask her real quick—
I said no! I'm serious!
The truth is...I was the one who made the cake and
[cdb]arranged the flowers. And I just wanted to hear how
Her Majesty reacted.
I see what's going on here. The cake and flowers were
[cdb]your doing, weren't they?
That's why you were asking me about how Edelgard
[cdb]reacted.
Yes, OK! Just please, not another word of this.
All right, I get it. Well, not really, but...
I beg you, forget this ever happened! The situation
[cdb]is far more complicated than you realize!
