Good news. We've dislodged another foothold those who slither in the dark held in Empire territory.

Good news? That's great! So that soldier was one of theirs after all, huh?
linkEdelgardvolume_up
He was. It's uncanny how you manage to identify their agents so precisely. Ordinary spies would be one thing, but these villains are another entirely.

I'd like to say it's just intuition, but there's more to it than that.
linkShezvolume_up
It's my power. Their magic is almost identical to the one I use, so it's not hard for me to pick up on.
linkShezvolume_up
Guess we have Hubert to thank for connecting the dots between the two.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
How strange that you would hold such an important key.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
The more I look back, the more I realize...
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Without you among our ranks, I may never have broken the stranglehold those who slither in the dark exerted on the Empire.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
Our hidden foe was deeply entrenched in almost every facet of Adrestian society. The two were almost inseparable.

And so, I turned a blind eye to the lives that were being lost to their cruel designs, opting instead to focus my energy on preparing for war.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
But then you came along, and helped show me a way to kill two snakes with one stone, as it were.
linkEdelgardvolume_up
You were the cog that was missing from the turnwheel. The one final push that urged me to act.
