1. I need to speak with you, Ignatz.
  2. Ahh! Oh, Lysithea. You gave me quite the [cdb]scare there.
  3. Do you remember last time we spoke about our [cdb]parents?
  4. When you told me how you wanted to do something [cdb]for them? Yes, I remember.
  5. Does that mean there's something I can help with?
  6. No. However, the way you acted when we spoke has [cdb]been weighing on me.
  7. I got the impression you are somehow pushing [cdb]yourself too far.
  8. No, I'm not! Wh-what would make you think that?
  9. There it is again. Something is going on with you... and I think I know just what it is.
  10. Ngh!
  11. You wanted to take over the family business along [cdb]with your brother, didn't you?
  12. Huh?
  13. I mean, uh, no. I never wanted to do that.
  14. I'm, uh...not really suited for the life of a merchant.
  15. Really? And yet you know so much about paintings, [cdb]silverware, tea, and other kinds of merchandise.
  16. Well, it seems I have miscalculated. I thought you [cdb]became a knight solely due to your family's wishes.
  17. Well, you're not wrong about that.
  18. I mean, wait! That's not what I meant.
  19. Aha! So there is something you'd rather be doing!
  20. Well, um...yes.
  21. Set your worries aside, Ignatz. I have a proposal.
  22. You...do?
  23. Yes. You should come to Ordelia territory [cdb]and get started on what you truly want to do.
  24. I can arrange for you to come and go as you please, [cdb]and we may even be able to provide you with other [cdb]forms of assistance as necessary.
  25. Really? Well, I'm certainly happy to hear that, but...
  26. But can it wait until the war is over? I still have a job [cdb]to finish as a knight.
  27. I'd feel bad for Lorenz if I just threw all of that away. I mean, he's the one who nominated me, after all.
  28. And as a knight of House Gloucester, I can't shirk my [cdb]duties until the day is finally won.
  29. You always take your responsibilities so seriously... Do you never put yourself first?
  30. Still, I suppose that is a rather admirable trait... Very well, then. I will wait until the war is over.
  31. Until then, hold onto your dreams, OK?
  32. I will, Lysithea—and thank you! I feel like a new light [cdb]is starting to shine on my life!
  33. I don't know what will happen to Ordelia [cdb]territory when the war ends...
  34. Still, if I end up a commoner, it wouldn't be a terrible [cdb]idea to help him start his new merchant business.
  35. That is what he wanted to do, right?
