I have to say, this isn't how I imagined Fódlan's three most powerful leaders would be coming together.
link Edelgard volume_up
Indeed. I hesitate to even consider the look on Hubert's face right now.
link Claude volume_up
I don't think anyone's too worried about me, though. Vanishing without a word is kind of what I do.
link Claude volume_up
So much for being a reliable leader.
link Claude volume_up
Even now that I'm the king of the Federation, it looks like I'm as unreliable as ever.
link Edelgard volume_up
Or perhaps it's the opposite, and your people think you reliable precisely because you always return.
link Edelgard volume_up
It must be nice having friends you can depend on to handle important matters in your absence.
link Claude volume_up
And it must feel lousy to realize no one wants to do your job, Edelgard.
link Edelgard volume_up
I'm glad to see your tongue remains as agile as ever. Let's try moving our feet instead, shall we?
link Claude volume_up
Hey, I can do both if you want! It's definitely not an either-or kind of situation.
link Claude volume_up
So, Edelgard. Say the four of us get out of here in one piece.
link Claude volume_up
What are you planning to do about Dimitri? Maybe we should join forces and take him on together.
link Edelgard volume_up
You're such a boor sometimes, Claude. And is that a serious proposal?
link Claude volume_up
Hmm. Well, I suppose it would be easier for me if the Kingdom stuck around.
link Claude volume_up
After all, I get the feeling that if we divide Fódlan between the Empire and the Alliance, I'll be the one holding the short end of that stick.

Our goal is to deal with Rhea and the Central Church, not to unify Fódlan.
link Edelgard volume_up
You never have been one to mince words, have you? Well then, allow me to match your honesty.
link Edelgard volume_up
It would be more convenient for me if the Kingdom ceased to exist.
link Edelgard volume_up
The Central Church has a much closer relationship with Faerghus than with the other regions.
link Edelgard volume_up
Even were we to capture the archbishop and force her to dismantle the upper echelons of the church, it wouldn't be enough.
link Edelgard volume_up
The roots of that organization run deep.
link Claude volume_up
Hold on. You're just looking to capture Rhea? You're not gonna... You know, get rid of her?
link Edelgard volume_up
Is it not enough to subdue a foe and remove them from power?
link Claude volume_up
I'm just surprised. I would've expected you to be more...thorough.
link Edelgard volume_up
And here I thought you wanted to pursue a peaceful solution.
link Claude volume_up
Hey, give me some credit. If I didn't like to rock the boat, Leicester would have been swallowed up by the Empire ages ago.
link Claude volume_up
I have ambitions, Edelgard. Real ones.
link Claude volume_up
I won't go into details, but I'm definitely fighting to make them a reality.
link Edelgard volume_up
All that, and you're not planning to enlighten me? Unreliable and stingy.
link Edelgard volume_up
I for one have no qualms with telling you my ambitions. I seek to destroy the irrational power structure that shackles Fódlan.
link Claude volume_up
Just Fódlan, eh?
link Edelgard volume_up
Come again?
link Claude volume_up
Hey, don't get me wrong. That's a goal I can get behind. That's why we're working together.
link Claude volume_up
But I'd be grateful if my own ambitions can be fulfilled at the end of your path of conquest.
link Edelgard volume_up
I'd like to believe that is possible.
link Edelgard volume_up
At least for now, we can work together to achieve a common goal.
link Edelgard volume_up
And perhaps someday our pact will become a more permanent one. I hope so, at any rate.
link Claude volume_up
Same here. But before that, we need to find a way out of this place!
