I am offering prayers to the spirits so they will be
[cdb]guiding us to victory in battle.
Is this how you pray in Brigid? In Fódlan, we usually
[cdb]save such things for a chapel.
Yes. In Brigid, we are offering our prayers to the
[cdb]forests, the mountains, the skies. Anywhere the
[cdb]spirits are dwelling.
In Fódlan, the people are offering their prayers to the
[cdb]goddess. In this, we are differing. But we are the same
[cdb]in hoping to live long and fight for what has meaning.
Yes, of course. Perhaps I shouldn't ask this, but...
Is it not unwise for you to be risking your life here
[cdb]in Fódlan?
You are the queen of Brigid. Your people need you to
[cdb]return safely to them.
Yes, your words have truthfulness. If I am dying
[cdb]here on foreign soil, I am betraying my people.
You gave me your promise to be releasing Brigid from
[cdb]its vassal relationship to the Empire.
And if I die, your promise will be dying with me.
Yes, I suppose it would.
If you died, I would have to renegotiate our terms
[cdb]with your successor.
That wouldn't be an issue if she were as capable
[cdb]and reasonable as you—but would she be?
And for the record, Petra, I don't want you to die.
You are a dear friend.
Your words give me great happiness.
But I am still content to be risking my life here in
Fódlan.
As we get closer to cornering our enemies, there's no
[cdb]telling what kind of foul tricks they'll employ.
Are you certain you don't wish to walk away from
[cdb]this? It could easily go awry, after all.
I am knowing the danger, but I have done my
[cdb]deciding.
I will not be turning my tail and running while you
[cdb]are standing and fighting.
I'm grateful. But unlike you, I cannot back down
[cdb]from this fight. This war is one of my own making.
And I am choosing to share it.
If we lose, then we will lose. But I will not be having
[cdb]regrets.
I will be fighting with you until the end of bitterness.
That is the prayer I was offering.
Well, I'll do my best to avoid a bitter end.
Regardless, you have my thanks, Petra.
Your resolve humbles me, but also gives me strength.
You are the emperor. I am the queen.
Our relationship is not one that is usual.
Not everyone can be standing on equal feet with you.
This is something only I can be doing. And so I will
[cdb]continue standing by your side.
Let no one say the queen of Brigid is not gracious
[cdb]and noble.
But I do hope we never turn into a couple of stuffy
[cdb]royals who insist on doing everything by the book.
I have trust that you will never be letting
[cdb]that happen!
