Now here's a rare sight. Since when do you read tactics manuals?
link Edelgard volume_up
Do you miss your days at the Officers Academy?
link Jeritza volume_up
There's nothing to miss.
link Edelgard volume_up
No? Because I seem to recall everyone being in awe of their incredibly talented combat professor.
link Edelgard volume_up
I had big plans for you after you were assigned to us, but then the academy was forced to close its doors.
link Edelgard volume_up
Still, you played a small but critical role.

...
link Edelgard volume_up
Still not one for conversation, I see.
link Edelgard volume_up
Even so, I feel I understand you and your thoughts more now than when we first met.

You see? That silence of yours just said, "I don't need you to know me."
link Edelgard volume_up
Such a typical Emile thing to say.
link Jeritza volume_up
Hmph.
link Jeritza volume_up
Don't call me that.
link Edelgard volume_up
Why? Because Emile von Bartels is dead?
link Edelgard volume_up
Because he was already hunted down and killed for slaughtering everyone in his house?
link Jeritza volume_up
He should have been.
link Edelgard volume_up
Is that so? Well, I disagree.
link Edelgard volume_up
This is why you live on as Jeritza von Hrym, and why you remain in good standing with a house that will one day be yours.
link Edelgard volume_up
This is why the world has the Death Knight. For my goals to be achieved, both men are indispensable.
link Jeritza volume_up
You're greedy to desire that monster's power.
link Jeritza volume_up
His thirst is endless. Every soul he takes makes him less human.
link Edelgard volume_up
If so, I'd say the Death Knight is the greedy one.
link Edelgard volume_up
I must watch my step, lest he and his scythe come for me in the night.
link Jeritza volume_up
You are my master. For now.
link Jeritza volume_up
You let the Death Knight hunt. I am grateful. Your life is safe.
link Edelgard volume_up
There's nothing to be grateful for. This is and has always been a contract that sees to both our needs.
link Edelgard volume_up
It just so happens I like having you—and the Death Knight—in my corner.
