- Interesting... Her Majesty refrained from drinking tea
[cdb]today. A bit unusual, don't you think?
- I believe the last time that happened was fifteen days
[cdb]ago. Ergo, we can conclude she tends to renounce the
[cdb]beverage when—
- Hey, remind me why I'm doing this again?
- What's the point of recording all this stuff? Why not
[cdb]just hang out with her?
- It is not "stuff"! These are Her Majesty's great
[cdb]exploits.
- They must be accurately recorded and preserved
[cdb]within the annals of Imperial history.
- Not sure I'd call her tea habits "great exploits."
- No one's ever gonna need that information.
- And how do you remember all this? I couldn't even
[cdb]tell you what I had for breakfast this morning.
- Hehe! I remember everything Her Majesty does.
- Every word she has ever spoken to me. Every morsel
[cdb]she has ever eaten, not to mention where and when
[cdb]she ate it.
- Every sigh that has escaped her lips. Each and every
[cdb]one of her favorite—
- Yeah, let's stop there. This is all sorts of weird.
- Why do you say that? These are simply records
[cdb]that need to be kept.
- Convince her she's being weird.
- Give up.
- Just think about it for a minute.
- Have you ever read a book on Adrestian history that
[cdb]lists the number of times an emperor sighed?
- There has never been a historian with a memory like
[cdb]mine, nor one who could keep such accurate records.
Until now.
- The sole reason I have this excellent memory is to
[cdb]ensure that Her Majesty's great exploits are
[cdb]documented properly.
- All right, you've convinced me.
- So you understand? This is the very reason I have
[cdb]been granted my excellent memory.
- But if your memory's so good, then there's no reason
[cdb]for me to help, is there?
- Oh, but there is. Her Majesty places a great deal of
[cdb]confidence in you.
- She often engages you in conversation, and the two
[cdb]of you spend an insufferable amount of time together.
- As such, you're able to obtain information I could not
[cdb]otherwise verify on my own.
- There is nobody more qualified than you to assist me
[cdb]in this undertaking.
- All right, fine. I get that you're serious about all this.
- I don't mind lending a hand when I'm not busy.
And there doesn't seem to be much harm in it...
for Edelgard, anyway.
- Spoken like a true confidant of Her Majesty.
How dependable of you!
- It's no wonder she trusts you more and more
[cdb]each day. Even if it is maddening.
- And so, the time has come for me to grant you a
[cdb]very special privilege.
- I will permit you to devote yourself to Her Majesty,
[cdb]as a sign of your undying love.
- Gladly accept.
- Refuse.
- I'm honored, I guess. Does that mean you're not
[cdb]jealous of me anymore?
- I suppose not. We will be comrades, joined in our
[cdb]quest to bestow love and affection upon Her Majesty.
- Well, all right then. I wouldn't get your hopes up,
[cdb]though. I'm not really sure how I'd show my love for
[cdb]her...or if I'd even want to.
- Why would I want permission to do that?
- The answer is simple. There is no greater pursuit in
[cdb]all of Fódlan than expressing one's undying love for
Her Majesty.
- I dunno, I could think of a few things. So...yeah,
I think I'm good on the whole "devotion" front.
- Hmph, very well. You clearly still fail to appreciate
[cdb]the full extent of Her Majesty's charm.
- However, I am confident you will come to your senses
[cdb]the more you assist me.
- I hope that one day you will ascend and become a
[cdb]true admirer of Her Majesty.
- Uh... Yeah, you do that.
