Monica? Why are you just standing there?
link Monica volume_up
I was waiting for you. You were speaking with Her Majesty, yes?
link Shez volume_up
Yep, just going over some strategy. Why, did you need me for something?
link Monica volume_up
No, not exactly. So...what did Her Majesty say?
link Shez volume_up
Well, she wanted to get my opinion on how best to utilize our mercenaries, since they all use different weapons.
link Shez volume_up
We're gonna be fighting some upcoming battles on terrain that'll make it harder to use lances, so we were trying to figure out how to deal with that.
link Monica volume_up
And you didn't speak of anything else?
link Shez volume_up
Well yeah, but it probably wouldn't interest you. Mercenary stuff, y'know.
link Monica volume_up
That's not quite what I meant. There was cake for everyone, was there not?
link Monica volume_up
And I'm pretty certain there were fresh flowers throughout the room. Did you not see them?
link Shez volume_up
Oh yeah, that cake was great. Did you want a piece?
link Shez volume_up
Flowers, though... Hmm. I think maybe there were some little white ones?
link Monica volume_up
Urgh! I have no interest in your opinion. I want to know what Her Majesty thought of them.
link Shez volume_up
Oh, I dunno. She probably said something nice, but I wasn't really paying attention.
link Monica volume_up
You weren't... Never mind. I suppose I will have to ask her myself.
link Monica volume_up
I just want to know what Her Majesty genuinely thought.
link Shez volume_up
Why do you wanna know so badly? Can't you just ask Edelgard?
link Monica volume_up
You never know if a person is giving you their honest opinion when you spring a question on them.
link Monica volume_up
I just want to know what Her Majesty genuinely thought.
link Shez volume_up
Can't help you there, I'm afraid. I wasn't really paying attention.
link Monica volume_up
You were summoned by Her Majesty and granted the honor of giving her counsel. Then, she graciously offered you cake...
link Monica volume_up
And you didn't even have the decency to watch her eat it? Honestly, what is wrong with you?
link Shez volume_up
Sorry if I let you down somehow. I don't think I really get what the big deal is, though.
link Shez volume_up
Want me to go ask her right now?
link Monica volume_up
No, please don't. If Her Majesty learns I was prying about such things...
link Monica volume_up
I do not want to bother her with these trivialities. Forget I said anything.
link Shez volume_up
I'm still confused, but I'll just go ask her real quick—
link Monica volume_up
I said no! I'm serious!
link Monica volume_up
The truth is...I was the one who made the cake and arranged the flowers. And I just wanted to hear how Her Majesty reacted.
link Shez volume_up
I see what's going on here. The cake and flowers were your doing, weren't they?
link Shez volume_up
That's why you were asking me about how Edelgard reacted.
link Monica volume_up
Yes, OK! Just please, not another word of this.
link Shez volume_up
All right, I get it. Well, not really, but...
link Monica volume_up
I beg you, forget this ever happened! The situation is far more complicated than you realize!
