1. I daresay I pulled off quite the impressive strategy in [cdb]our previous battle.
  2. One should expect nothing less of me, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester! Hahaha!
  3. It's a delightful surprise to see you here, sir. What wonderful peals of laughter you have.
  4. There is truly none other quite so suited for such [cdb]splendid displays as yourself.
  5. Er, Constance? Is something the matter?
  6. No, not at all.
  7. I just feel awful that someone as wonderful as you [cdb]must turn their attention on a wretch such as I.
  8. All right, what is the matter here? This is all quite [cdb]unlike you.
  9. You almost always announce yourself to me with an [cdb]exultant smile and some cutting gibe, but this...
  10. Ah! Now that I think of it, I believe the same thing [cdb]happened to her before.
  11. I thought she might be ill, but perhaps it is not so [cdb]simple as all that?
  12. I fear my words and actions—totally unsuited as they [cdb]were to one of my status—have incurred your ire.
  13. Please inform me of what my punishment is to be, [cdb]and I shall humbly accept whatever is to come.
  14. What is this nonsense you speak of, Constance? You yourself said you were a noblewoman at heart, [cdb]did you not?
  15. I must ask you to refrain from taunting me so. I am but a simple commoner now.
  16. A mere foolish being whose only calling is to [cdb]obediently follow any order you give me.
  17. Enough! Return yourself to normal at once!
  18. You sought to reestablish House Nuvelle! What has [cdb]become of your ambition?! Your pluck?!
  19. That is kind of you to say.
  20. It pains me so to deny your gracious words...
  21. But it is unthinkable that someone so lowly as I [cdb]could make real the nonsensical dream of [cdb]reestablishing House Nuvelle.
  22. Constance, this saddens me greatly.
  23. To think you would change so fundamentally once [cdb]you fell into despair after your dream was shattered...
  24. I must do something to help you.
  25. I cannot imagine causing you such a grave [cdb]inconvenience, sir.
  26. I will hear none of it. I do as I please!
  27. Oh, how kind you are...
  28. But your help will not bring me happiness.
  29. Though audacious and selfish as this request may be, I ask you simply to watch over me.
  30. Hmm. It seems I must reevaluate my perception of [cdb]you yet again.
  31. I once said there were things I must settle with you, [cdb]but now is not the time for competition.
  32. Correct. For no matter what sort of contest I find [cdb]myself pitted in, you will always emerge victorious.
  33. Well then, though you have rejected me once, [cdb]pray allow me to say this...
  34. Nothing is impossible for Lorenz Hellman Gloucester!
  35. So when you decide to continue pursuing your dream [cdb]and need my assistance, do let me know.
  36. Hahaha!
