- Phew.
- You must be exhausted, Your Majesty. I was
[cdb]beginning to believe that council would never end.
Should I make tea?
- Thank you, Monica. Why don't you join me?
- Oh, I would love to!
- I can hardly remember the last time I saw you rest.
- You need to stop overworking yourself—we can't
[cdb]afford for you to get sick.
- Her Majesty has invited me to tea and she's worried
[cdb]about my health? Ah, this is the greatest day of my
[cdb]humble life!
- Come now, I've always cared for your well-being.
And it's not as if we never have tea together.
- Oh, I'm aware. This is the 208th time you've worried
[cdb]about me, and our 113th time sharing tea.
- Oh, I'm aware. This is the 253rd time you worried
[cdb]about me, and our 139th time sharing tea.
- I've been keeping a record on paper and in my head.
- Now I'm even more concerned...
- Aw, thanks!
- I suppose it just shows how hard you work for me.
- I hope you feel I do enough in return. If there is
[cdb]anything you need, don't hesitate to ask.
- Truly?
- You'd really listen to my request?
- Your Majesty is actually willing to make Monica von
Ochs's impossible wish come true?!
- Well, let's keep the wishes within the realm of the
[cdb]plausible, if you please.
- All right. In that case, may I... Oh, this is so
[cdb]disrespectful... May I hold you in my embrace?
Just for a minute!
- I... I don't see why not?
- What kindness... I promise to be even more loyal to
[cdb]you from now on, Your Majesty.
- As if such a thing were possible. You've given me
[cdb]more loyalty than I could ever rightfully expect.
- Oh, that reminds me! There is something I've been
[cdb]meaning to tell you.
- It seems as if you have been upset with yourself
[cdb]because you were planning to leave me for dead.
- But I just want you to know that had such events
[cdb]come to pass, I still would've died happy.
- I would've been at peace because I helped you
[cdb]achieve your vision.
- Well, I should go see to that tea.
- She really is something else.
- I knew she was strong, yet she always finds new ways
[cdb]to surprise me...
- Thank you, Monica.
