You wanted to talk, Monica? This is an...interesting
[cdb]choice of location.
I hear you've been going above and beyond lately.
That you perform miracles each time you set foot on
[cdb]the battlefield.
Why are you complimenting me all of a sudden?
I mean, things have been going well, but...
Oh, I assure you I have no ulterior motive.
You've helped me out a great deal too, after all.
Even Her Majesty praises your "fine work."
She talks about you so much, in fact, I'm more than
[cdb]a little sick of hearing your name.
Huh, she talks about me that much? Wait a sec...
You aren't jealous, are you? Nah, that wouldn't make
[cdb]any sense.
Indeed it wouldn't. Why in the world would I be
[cdb]jealous of you?
After all, you are merely Her Majesty's subordinate.
Your relationship will never transcend the bounds of
[cdb]master and servant. It will never reach the depths of
[cdb]meaning that Her Majesty and I share.
She's definitely jealous.
Best not provoke her further.
So you are jealous.
In what way? I am merely telling you the truth as I
[cdb]see it.
It never even crossed my mind how irritatingly close
[cdb]you and Her Majesty are! Not once!
You're totally right. We're not in the same league.
What is this sudden attitude shift? You don't believe
[cdb]me, do you?
It never even crossed my mind how irritatingly close
[cdb]you and Her Majesty are! Not once!
Uh...
Yeah, you basically just admitted it.
I certainly did not.
You did. You said you were jealous that Edelgard and
I are so close.
The word "jealous" never traversed my lips!
You sure you're not, though?
Perhaps...a little.
That's what I thought.
But so what if I am? I have always been Her Majesty's
[cdb]most devoted admirer!
Hubert is one thing, but you... You're just a
[cdb]run-of-the-mill mercenary!
To think Her Majesty has uttered your name more
[cdb]times than she has mine! It makes me want to scream
[cdb]my lungs out!
You've been counting?
Calm her down.
Tell her this can't be healthy.
Question the importance of it all.
Look, I probably come up a lot because we've been
[cdb]fighting together so much.
Don't worry, Monica. Things will turn around once
[cdb]the war's over.
Ugh... Being consoled by the winner only makes me
[cdb]feel even more like a loser.
Why even keep score? It's not a contest.
All this worrying is just gonna stress you out.
It's no good. I still keep track even if I'm not worried.
I cannot help it.
Is it really that big a deal? Who cares, anyway?
I care! I keep track of everything she does! I can't
[cdb]help myself...
I can't believe it has come to this. I have no other
[cdb]choice but to ask for your help.
