0. You must rest, Your Majesty. These late hours will [cdb]only undermine your health.
1. I appreciate your concern, but I fear sleep eludes me [cdb]after our last battle.
2. No need to wait for me, Dedue—or to worry. I'll rest when I find a suitable stopping point.
3. You said the same the other day, then worked until [cdb]the break of dawn.
4. I should know better than to argue when you [cdb]get like this.
5. Very well. I'll rest once I know these documents [cdb]contain no errors. And if you assist me, it will go [cdb]all the faster.
6. This is written in the language of Duscur. Is it a letter to the leadership?
7. Yes. I'd asked their cooperation in investigating [cdb]a number of matters pertaining to the Tragedy [cdb]of Duscur.
8. Some interim reports arrived the other day, so I'm [cdb]thanking them for those and requesting a further [cdb]investigation into another matter.
9. I see.
10. Such important tasks warrant daylight. Can this not [cdb]wait until morning?
11. And what if I fall in battle tomorrow and the work [cdb]remains forever unfinished?
12. I must do all that I can while I still draw breath.
13. I will uncover the truth of that day and exact revenge [cdb]for the dead. I swear it.
14. There's no time to waste. After all, it doesn't appear [cdb]resolving this issue will be as simple as just setting [cdb]all the perpetrators to meet their end.
15. All the more reason to rest and preserve your health.
16. My rest and health can wait. At least until I've looked [cdb]through these inquiries into the western front.
17. Ah, and I should put in some training before I sleep, [cdb]to make up for all this desk work...
18. Do you still have nightmares of that day?
19. You remember, then. I'm surprised. I've not [cdb]mentioned them in years.
20. I used to summon you to my room under the pretense [cdb]of keeping you safe from the others in the castle.
21. Then I'd have you listen to me babble until sleep [cdb]finally claimed me.
22. I've always been grateful for the consideration [cdb]you showed.
23. It was my own selfishness. Nothing praiseworthy.
24. Well, if sleep still evades you, I would be happy to [cdb]lend an ear.
25. That would only succeed in exhausting us both. We have an early start tomorrow, so please get [cdb]some rest.
26. I know you will once again implore me not to [cdb]overextend myself, but I assure you that I know [cdb]my own limits better than anyone.
27. At least let me bring tea before I depart.
28. That would be wonderful, Dedue. And...apologies for [cdb]always putting you through so much trouble.
