Interesting... Her Majesty refrained from drinking tea today. A bit unusual, don't you think?
link Monica volume_up
I believe the last time that happened was fifteen days ago. Ergo, we can conclude she tends to renounce the beverage when—
link Shez volume_up
Hey, remind me why I'm doing this again?
link Shez volume_up
What's the point of recording all this stuff? Why not just hang out with her?
link Monica volume_up
It is not "stuff"! These are Her Majesty's great exploits.
link Monica volume_up
They must be accurately recorded and preserved within the annals of Imperial history.
link Shez volume_up
Not sure I'd call her tea habits "great exploits."
link Shez volume_up
No one's ever gonna need that information.
link Shez volume_up
And how do you remember all this? I couldn't even tell you what I had for breakfast this morning.
link Monica volume_up
Hehe! I remember everything Her Majesty does.
link Monica volume_up
Every word she has ever spoken to me. Every morsel she has ever eaten, not to mention where and when she ate it.
link Monica volume_up
Every sigh that has escaped her lips. Each and every one of her favorite—
link Shez volume_up
Yeah, let's stop there. This is all sorts of weird.
link Monica volume_up
Why do you say that? These are simply records that need to be kept.
link Shez volume_up
Just think about it for a minute.
link Shez volume_up
Have you ever read a book on Adrestian history that lists the number of times an emperor sighed?
link Monica volume_up
There has never been a historian with a memory like mine, nor one who could keep such accurate records. Until now.
link Monica volume_up
The sole reason I have this excellent memory is to ensure that Her Majesty's great exploits are documented properly.
link Shez volume_up
All right, you've convinced me.
link Monica volume_up
So you understand? This is the very reason I have been granted my excellent memory.
link Shez volume_up
But if your memory's so good, then there's no reason for me to help, is there?
link Monica volume_up
Oh, but there is. Her Majesty places a great deal of confidence in you.
link Monica volume_up
She often engages you in conversation, and the two of you spend an insufferable amount of time together.
link Monica volume_up
As such, you're able to obtain information I could not otherwise verify on my own.
link Monica volume_up
There is nobody more qualified than you to assist me in this undertaking.
link Shez volume_up
All right, fine. I get that you're serious about all this.
link Shez volume_up
I don't mind lending a hand when I'm not busy. And there doesn't seem to be much harm in it... for Edelgard, anyway.
link Monica volume_up
Spoken like a true confidant of Her Majesty. How dependable of you!
link Monica volume_up
It's no wonder she trusts you more and more each day. Even if it is maddening.
link Monica volume_up
And so, the time has come for me to grant you a very special privilege.
link Monica volume_up
I will permit you to devote yourself to Her Majesty, as a sign of your undying love.
link Shez volume_up
I'm honored, I guess. Does that mean you're not jealous of me anymore?
link Monica volume_up
I suppose not. We will be comrades, joined in our quest to bestow love and affection upon Her Majesty.
link Shez volume_up
Well, all right then. I wouldn't get your hopes up, though. I'm not really sure how I'd show my love for her...or if I'd even want to.
link Shez volume_up
Why would I want permission to do that?
link Monica volume_up
The answer is simple. There is no greater pursuit in all of Fódlan than expressing one's undying love for Her Majesty.
link Shez volume_up
I dunno, I could think of a few things. So...yeah, I think I'm good on the whole "devotion" front.
link Monica volume_up
Hmph, very well. You clearly still fail to appreciate the full extent of Her Majesty's charm.
link Monica volume_up
However, I am confident you will come to your senses the more you assist me.
link Monica volume_up
I hope that one day you will ascend and become a true admirer of Her Majesty.
link Shez volume_up
Uh... Yeah, you do that.
