Edelgard: Enough with the searching glances, Dimitri. Say what you're going to say.
Dimitri: I was just thinking that I find it difficult to speak with you, even now that we have the opportunity to exchange words peaceably. Too many have died for us to suddenly have meaningful heart-to-heart conversation.
Edelgard: Oh? That's not how I feel. Unless you mean you don't wish to speak with the tyrant you consider responsible for their deaths. In which case, let's just believe what we believe, accept that our paths have diverged, and see this through to the very end.
Dimitri: You're placing words in my mouth. Still, I suppose that does cut to the heart of the matter. I will not claim that all my choices were right, but I accept responsibility for them. I made them carefully, and with full knowledge of the consequences.
Edelgard: And I'd like to think I can say the same. But this is unproductive. We need to get out of here.
Dimitri: Fair enough. But first, answer me this. Do you know what became of your mother, Anselma?
Edelgard: Why would I?
Dimitri: Someone told me that you would know how she met her end. Although I suspect that was nothing more than the dying ravings of a madwoman.
Edelgard: It was. I haven't seen my mother since I was a child. It would've been right before she was exiled. You would know what happened better than I.
Dimtri: I suppose so. Regardless, thank you for answering. Now, shall we get back to finding our way out?
Edelgard: Please. We can't resolve anything so long as we're trapped in this... Ah!
Dimitri: That was quite the tremor.
Edelgard: Whatever this place is, I find myself liking it less by the moment.
Dimitri: Can you stand?
Edelgard: Yes, thank... Hmph.
Dimitri: Perhaps we can put our differences aside, if only for the moment. Hostilities will do us no good here.
Edelgard: Yes, I suppose you're right. I can agree to that. You know, I just remembered something. From back when I was but a child. I had fallen to the ground, and was met with a kind hand reaching out to help me up. I took it without thinking—without even looking first to see who it was. I suppose that shows you how much I've grown.
Dimitri: Ah...
Edelgard: Dimitri? What is it?
Dimitri: I have a similar memory. One of helping a little girl who had fallen in the dirt.
Edelgard: Knowing you, such occurrences would've been commonplace in your youth. Don't try to imply we share a memory.
Dimitri: No, I rarely forget an important face. Often to my own woe, I might add.
Edelgard: Enough. Let us end this before we both make greater fools of ourselves. We need to escape. That's our only priority.
Dimitri: Edelgard, I...
Edelgard: What are you doing? You should know, I won't hesitate to leave you behind.
Dimitri: Indeed. I'm coming, El.

Claude: I have to say, this isn't how I imagined Fòdlan's three most powerful leaders would be coming together.
Edelgard: Indeed. I hesitate to even consider the look on Hubert's face right now.
Claude: I don't think anyone's too worried about me, though. Vanishing without a word is kind of what I do. So much for being a reliable leader.
Edelgard: Or perhaps it's the opposite, and your people think you reliable precisely because you always return. It must be nice having friends to depend on to handle important matters in your absence.
Claude: And it must feel lousy to realize that no one wants to do your job, Edelgard.
Edelgard: I'm glad to see your tongue is as agile as ever. Let's try moving our feet instead, shall we?
Claude: Hey, I can do both if you want! It's definitely not an either-or kind of situation. So, Edelgard. Say the four of us get out of here in one piece. What are you planning to do about Dimitri? Maybe we should join forces and take him on together.
Edelgard: You're such a boor sometimes, Claude. And is that a serious proposal?
Claude: Hmm. Well, I suppose it would be easier for me if the Kingdom stuck around. 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.
Edelgard: You never have been one to mince words, have you? Well then, allow me to match your honesty. It would be more convenient for me if the Kingdom ceased to exist. The Central Church has a much closer relationship with Faerghus than with the other regions. Even were we to capture the archbishop and force her to dismantle the upper echelons of the church, it wouldn't be enough. The roots of that organization run deep.
Claude: Hold on. You're just looking to capture Rhea? You're not gonna... You know, get rid of her?
Edelgard: Is it not enough to subdue a foe and remove them from power?
Claude: I'm just surprised. I would've expected you to be more...thorough.
Edelgard: And here I thought that you wanted to pursue a peaceful solution.
Claude: 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. I have ambitions, Edelgard. Real ones. I won't go into details, but I'm definitely fighting to make them a reality.
Edelgard: All that, and you're not planning to enlighten me? Unreliable and stingy. I for one have no qualms with telling you my ambitions. I seek to destroy the irrational power structure that shackles Fòdlan.
Claude: Just Fódlan, eh?
Edelgard: Come again?
Claude: Hey, don't get me wrong. That's a goal I can get behind. That's why we're working together. But I'd be grateful if my own ambitions can be fulfilled at the end of your path of conquest.
Edelgard: I'd like to believe that is possible. At least for now, we can work together to achieve a common goal. And perhaps someday, our pact will become a more permanent one. I hope so, at any rate.
Claude: Same here. But before that, we need to find a way out of this place!

Edelgard: And what of the archbishop's movements?
Hubert: She has established herself in Camulus, a town south of Fhirdiad, and shows no indication of leaving. The Knights of Seiros occasionally go to the front, but the archbishop appears content to remain behind. A shame, really.
Edelgard: Well, we expected as much. It's unlikely that we'll have the opportunity to eliminate her without mounting a full-scale invasion if Blaiddyd territory.
Hubert: We should've surrounded Garreg Mach and torn the place apart when we had the chance, no matter the cost to us. We may have squandered our greatest chance by not doing so.
Edelgard: Hubert, that idea came from Lord Arundel...That is to say, Thales. And it's an impractical idea at that-one based on unreliable experimental assets that had never been tested in battle. Besides, after breaking ties with him and his allies, we lacked the military capability to carry out an operation on such a scale.
Hubert: True on both counts, Your Majesty. We took such bold steps to excise those who slither in the dark from the Empire, knowing full well the price we'd pay. Though it meant allowing the archbishop to escape our grasp, I would venture to say that we ultimately came out in a better position because of it.
Edelgard: Unquestionably so. I'm certain Thales and his ilk are dreaming up some villainy as we speak. But we're not beholden to them anymore. We are no longer complicit in their schemes.
Hubert: I could not care less what I am or am not complicit in, Lady Edelgard-but I agree you must not be. For your own sake and the sake of the Empire, it is vital that you remain unsullied and unencumbered.
Edelgard: When I proposed such drastic changes to our plan two years ago, I did so against your best counsel. And yet you made it work every step of the way. None of us would be where we are today if not for you, Hubert. I cannot thank you enough.
Hubert: This is quite unlike you, Your Majesty. Are you feeling unwell? I assure you, I feel ever appreciated. There is no need for you to speak such words aloud. Or perhaps this is to soften the blow of yet another drastic change of course?
Edelgard: Nothing like that, I assure you. I simply want you to know how much you are valued. This path I walk...I cannot walk it without you. I'm only able to press onward because I have you to open the way. There will always be a place for you by my side.
Hubert: ...Are you certain there are no changes you wish to inform me of? I must insist you hide nothing from me.
Edelgard: What? But I just said I'm not... Hubert, are you truly so incapable of accepting a simple word of thanks?

Edelgard: Hubert, what do you make of the Ashen Demon?
Hubert: Aside from having proven to be impossibly powerful and a constant thorn in our side? Correction-was a constant thorn in our side. I must admit, the little terror has put in some fine work for the Empire recently.
Edelgard: We're fortunate to have gained so powerful an ally.
Hubert: Why do you bring this up, Your Majesty? Is there something on your mind?
Edelgard: I'm not entirely sure myself... My apologies, Hubert. Pay me no mind. Like as not I am overthinking the situation.
Hubert: Surely you realize that telling me to pay this no mind only gives me greater cause for concern?
Edelgard: Heh. I didn't mean to worry you. I'm simply having trouble putting this feeling into words. I just felt...I don't know. As if something was drawing me to the Ashen Demon. I wonder... Could it be the influence of my Crest?
Hubert: Your Crest? Now I am truly becoming concerned.
Edelgard: Forget it. Whatever it means, we don't need to find out right away. We've a war to win first.
Hubert: As you wish, Your Majesty. So long as you realize I will be taking the liberty to investigate this most thoroughly.
Edelgard: I thought you might say as much. Do as you must. Honestly, Hubert. You never change, do you? When I emerged from beneath the palace all those years ago, you acted as though nothing had happened. "Do not worry," you said. "I took the liberty to investigate while you were indisposed."
Hubert: For the record, my blood was boiling. However, as there were others present, I kept still my tongue. I could not risk showing my anger, lest they find a way to turn it against you. My role to play is the cold, crafty, unreadable servant. I am happy with the casting, so let us leave it at that.
Edelgard: I'm certain you are...but just once I'd like to see our roles reversed.
Hubert: Your Majesty, you cannot possibly be serious.
Edelgard: Not in the slightest. I'm well aware I am not cut out for the kind of work you do.
Hubert: Nonsense. There is nothing beyond your capability. That said, I prefer you best when you are the one in charge. Command me as you see fit. No matter how daunting or impossible the task may be, I will come through every time without fail.
Edelgard: Thank you, Hubert. It's good to know that I can always rely on you.

Edelgard: Ah, Ferdinand. I hadn't realized you'd returned to the palace.
Ferdinand: Yes, here I am. Not that I have official business like you.
Edelgard: Then why come such a long way- Ah, I see. You're here to visit your father.
Ferdinand: I am ashamed to say this was my first time seeing him in his cell. My father insisted I stay away for my own safety. Though I must confess, the dungeon was not the horrid place I had imagined it to be. I was envisioning...you know. Fiery hot pokers, spikes...that manner of thing.
Edelgard: Oh? Then it may interest you to know that we do actually have such a dungeon. I've only seen it once, myself. It's...further down from where we're keeping the former duke. It's a dismal place, one where rats scurry to and fro.
Ferdinand: Rats? I do not imagine that Father would cope well with that at all. While he did look haggard, it sounds as though his treatment could be far, far worse.
Edelgard: We're doing our best to keep him in good health-the rest will depend on his frame of mind.
Ferdinand: Well, you will hear no complaints from me. I care only that he is kept alive and given a fair trial. And that his punishment fits the crime, of course.
Edelgard: You'd better speed things along then, because Hubert is quickly losing patience.
Ferdinand: A fact I am very well aware. The problem is that I remain unable to connect my father to many of the acts he is accused of.
Edelgard: Perhaps you're wasting your time. A noble as powerful as your father could easily have documents forged and witnesses bought off. Any records that remain will be considered far too dubious to prove guilt or innocence.
Ferdinand: Another fact I am very much aware of... In truth...I already found proof some time ago. Proof of his corruption that is. I discovered it while looking through his tax records. When I realized what he had done, I was ready to serve him up to the authorities myself.
Edelgard: Your own father? I'm surprised to hear you say that.
Ferdinand: I mean it. I thought I could carefully build a solid case against him while studying at the academy. However, you had him clapped in irons before I could have my case organized. Heh. Now there is a bit of comedy. I idolized my father since I was a child. Yet I had to push those feelings aside in order to muster the anger to punish him. Now I find myself trapped between both of those emotions with no resolution in sight.
Edelgard: I see. And tell me, is that the end of your story? I thought you were going to become prime minister. Keep me in check. Surpass me, even.
Ferdinand: Oh! Uh, well, I did not mean...
Edelgard: You can still share words with your father and see him punished for his crimes, you know. So if you desire resolution, start resolving matters. It's never too late.

Ferdinand: Hm...
Edelgard: You're in better spirits than I expected. You look at least two shades less pale than you did after the battle at Fort Merceus.
Ferdinand: Oh, but Your Majesty does enjoy telling it like it is! Would it be the end of you to show a little compassion? No. Then you would be pitying me. I do not know which is worse. Regardless, I am well. Thank you for noticing. Ask of me what you will, and I shall see it done.
Edeglard: I don't need anything from you, Ferdinand-or at least not in that way. Just give me your usual effort, and that should be enough to get us through the upcoming battle.
Ferdinand: You can count on me. Point me at a foe, and I will dispatch them with all haste. I cannot afford to die now, or my page in the history books will end in a most horrid fashion. "Plagued by the guilt of striking down his father, Ferdinand welcomed the cold embrace of death on the battlefield." Or some such hogwash. Yes, I killed my father-and I would be a liar if I said it did not wound me nearly beyond reckoning. But I will not hate myself for it. It was the correct choice. I did the right thing.
Edelgard: Well, don't feel too bad. Imagine what they would write about me if we lose this war. "Despite her futile attempts to wrest power from the prime minister, the emperor's people turned against her and her life ended in abject failure. The end." I know exactly what the world would say of me, which is why I have no intention of losing.
Ferdinand: I will not permit such a thing to happen. If ever my life were to be weighed against yours, I would gladly perish in ignominy if it meant keeping you alive and well.
Edelgard: Heh.
Ferdinand: What? Did I say something amusing?
Edelgard: No, it's just... You're so strong. So proud. If all the world's nobles were like you, there would be no need to dismantle the aristocracy. That's all. I know it's a futile thought.
Ferdinand: Nothing is futile! Though even I must admit it seems to be so, given the circumstances. Still, you vastly underestimate the potential of the aristocracy. For generations, our ancestors worked hand in hand, sharing knowledge and wisdom to administer our great land and ensure it was well-protected. They acquired knowledge of the region and developed good policies to rule it. And in doing so, they earned the trust of the people. We cannot throw away everything they have built. It would be folly.
Edelgard: Of course not. What do you take me for? I'm dismantling the aristocracy, not their legacy. The commonfolk will take up the torch and carry on.
Ferdinand: Do you believe they are ready? No matter how gifted they would be, they are only commoners. In order to replace the nobility, they need to be educated... Wait a moment. I see your plan now. You intend to establish a school, one is that not merely for nobles and wealthy merchant children like the Officers Academy once was. A school where anyone can enroll, regardless of wealth or standing, and get an education rivaling that of any noble!
Edelgard: Ferdinand? I cannot guess where that idea sprung from, but this is exactly why I need you beside me as we shape the future of Adrestia.
Ferdinand: You mean to say that you did not actually... So I was... Well, it is nice to be needed.

Lindhardt: Edelgard? How fascinating. I never imagined I'd run into you in a place like this.
Edelgard: Lindhardt! Uh, erm...this is a surprise. What are you even doing here?
Lindhardt: I was having a nap over there. Such is the price of pulling so many all-nighters, though I pay it gladly.
Edelgard: Over there as in...right over there? Immediately so? Does that mean you saw...
Cat: Meoooow!
Lindhardt: Well, well. A cat. Does it live here?
Edelgard: How should I know? I've certainly never seen it before this very moment.
Lindhardt: Really? Because it seems quite used to you.
Edelgard: Yes, it... Oh, come out with it already! If you have something to say, just speak and stop this interminable dance!
Lindhardt: No, no! In fact, I like cats as well―especially ones that live near people.
Edelgard: You? A cat person? I never thought I'd hear you say that.
Lindhardt: Why not? I find them charming. You have to admire the way they draw people in with their cuteness only to be waited on hand and foot.
Edelgard: Lindhardt, people don't care of cats just because they're cute. Cats rid of rodents and other vermin. They are fine pets who bring much solace to their owners. As I see it, people and cats have a good relationship because we do things for each other.
Lindhardt: Well, I wonder how cats see it. Because it appears to me that they're doing things their way and don't really care about anyone else. Now there's a charmed existence! Living as selfishly as you like and have people lavish you with praise and affection for it. Not to mention they'll never run out of food.
Edelgard: Which just shows how much people value them. What does it matter if they're being selfish? To be honest, I'm surprised you have an opinion about cats at all. Have you owned one previously? Because I could use your advice if so.
Lindhardt: Please. Do I look like the sort of person to take on that kind of responsibility?
Edelgard: You do not, hence my surprise.
Lindhardt: Ah, wait. Now I get it. I was wondering why you were being so cross with me. You're thinking about keeping this cat! But the implication that cats and I both want to lead the same easy life spoils the idea for you.
Edelgard: What? I mean... Yes. That's it. You've caught me. Lindhardt, listen. If you aspire to be a pet, that is your decision and yours alone. However, if you expect people to bend over backward for you, the least you can do is work for it. The problem with you is that you always-
Lindhardt: Please, Your Majesty, let's not do this now. Look! The kitty-cat wants you to snuggle-wuggle!

Caspar: Rrgh! Hahh!
Edelgard: Ngh! Hrahh!
Caspar: I think that's enough for one day. You really know how to make me work up a sweat!
Edelgard: You kept me on my toes as well, Caspar. Thank you.
Caspar: Hey now, you'll never have to twist my arm to get me to train. Just shout when you wanna go again! Oh, and we should invite Raphael next time! The muscles on that guy are something else!
Edelgard: I'll keep that in mind. I often have trouble trying to find people to spar with.
Caspar: No surprise there. Not like folks are lining up for a chance to knock the emperor's teeth out.
Edelgard: You seem to have no problem coming after my teeth. Sometimes I think you're trying to kill me.
Caspar: What? No! I mean, I only do it because I know you can handle it, right? Look, just don't say anything to Hubert, OK? If he finds out we're sparring, he'll have me cut into pieces and dumped into the nearest river for sure.
Edelgard: He already knows. I convinced him I need the training if I'm to stand on the front lines.
Caspar: Well, that's a relief. So, uh, why do you, by the way? Fight on the front lines, I mean. You're an incredible fighter, but the Empire would be in deep, deep trouble if anything happened to you. And it's not like you're after the glory like I am. Shouldn't you just hang back and send us orders from some distant hilltop? Seems like it goes pretty hard against that "rationality" thing you're always talking about.
Edelgard: Caspar, lecturing me on what's sensible? I must be dreaming. But yes, you're right. It's not entirely rational.
Caspar: See? I'm a thinking man sometimes!
Edelgard: That's not to say I don't have a rational reason. My presence on the front lines improves morale, and my skills better our hope of victory. So long as I don't fall in battle, taking the field is the smartest thing I can do.
Caspar: Right, sure. So what's the un-rational part?
Edelgard: The emotional side. I can't stand the idea of remaining safe while friends and comrades alike risk their lives for our cause. You're all out there on my command, taking lives from others and giving your own in return. It doesn't seem fair for me to do any less.
Caspar: Except that you're the emperor.
Edelgard: And I say the emperor should help.
Caspar: Hey, I get it. You wanna get in the dirt with the rest of us to pull your weight, right? You and me are the same in that way.
Edelgard: A dreadful suggestion, but I'll allow it.
Caspar: Aw, come on! You should be happy! Here I thought we were completely different people, but turns out there's a little Caspar in you after all. You know, I can't even imagine you lording over us from far away. You work best when you're down in the mud with the rest of us, sending chumps flying.
Edelgard: IF there's a little Caspar in me, perhaps it's time to put a bit of someone else in you. Someone with manners, perhaps?
Caspar: Ugh, the M word? No thanks. You know all that politeness would only hold me back.

Bernadetta: Wait, what?
Edelgard: Bernadetta, is that a letter from your mother?
Bernadetta: Huh? Oh, Lady Edelgard. Yes, she wrote me from the capital. Wait, how did you know that? Are you screening my mail? Spying on my correspondence?
Edelgard: Bernadetta. Is there anyone else who would write you?
Bernadetta: Of course there is! There's...um...that guy? Wait... I don't have any friends. I don't even have any family! I don't have anybody! Poor Bernie's all alone in this cold, cruel world! Waaaaah!
Edelgard: Easy, Bernadetta. You have plenty of friends. They simply don't need to write you because you're fighting in the same army.
Bernadetta: Wait, really? Well that's a relief.
Edelgard: Also, how can you claim to have no family when your mother writes you regularly? That's certainly more than I can say.
Bernadetta: Oh, right. I forgot about your, um...parent situation. Guess I shouldn't be complaining, huh?
Edelgard: It's fine. Just be thankful that your mother is in good health, and make sure to write back so she doesn't worry.
Bernadetta: I always do―pages and pages!
Edelgard: That reminds me, have you heard from your father? I'm sure he had much adjusting to do after I installed him in Garreg Mach as the head of the Southern Church.
Bernadetta: Nothing from him, but my mother keeps me up to date in her letters. She has his attendants send her regular reports. The last update was something like, "Your father is scared of the Central Church's assassins, he's locked himself away up in the third-story reception hall. They have to drag him out kicking and screaming whenever it's time to deal with clerical affairs."
Edelgard: I'm certain I heard a similar story when another noble first relocated to Garreg Mach.
Bernadetta: Really? Huh. Oh, but the locking himself in his room part sure sounds a lot like me, doesn't it.
Edelgard: Yes, although you've come a long way from the reclusive, shy girl you used to be. Back at the Officer's Academy, you used to take your shunning of people to something of an extreme.
Bernadetta: Do you really think I'm that different now? It's hard for me to tell. Maybe knowing that my father has started hiding from the world helps, though. Now I don't have to stay inside to avoid seeing him, you know?
Edelgard: One might say your curse has been lifted. Just like mine...
Bernadetta: Wait, hang on. What's your curse?
Edelgard: Nothing. Please ignore what I said.
Bernadetta: Oh, come on! You can't leave me in suspense like this!

Edelgard: What is Thales plotting? Will the capital be all right? If another imposter- Hmm? Who's there?
Bernadetta: Lady Edelgard? Is that you?
Edelgard: Bernadetta? What are you doing here at this hour?
Bernadetta: Oh! Well, I was sort of hoping to hole up here for a while. This is one my go-to spots when I want to be alone.
Edelgard: In that case, I apologize for intruding.
Bernadetta: Oh, it's really not a big deal or anything. Um, Lady Edelgard? Is everything all right? You seem, well, kind of down. If something's bothering you, I'd be happy to listen. If you don't mind talking to me, I mean.
Edelgard: Thank you, but I wouldn't knew where to begin. Once the emperor starts rattling off her many woes, you're likely to be trapped here forever.
Bernadetta: Um, actually, that isn't what I meant.
Edelgard: Then what did you mean?
Bernadetta: Do you remember that time you told me how my curse was lifted? And then you started to say how yours was, too? Well, I've been worried that curse has been eating away at you the way mine did with me. Is that why you're here all alone in the middle of the night?
Edelgard: Ngh... I wasn't expecting you to see right through me quite so easily. But you're right. Something is eating at me. There is an enemy I thought I'd fought and beaten, which I believed freed me from my curse. Alas, that was wishful thinking. My enemy is still alive—and worse yet, he is not alone.
Bernadetta: That sounds terrible. But I know how that feels—I've been struggling, too. If I stay outside too long, I end up being seized by this...panic that makes me want to hide away again. I guess I'm still learning how to deal with it.
Edelgard: That's how life is, Bernadetta. We all bear our scars, but the only thing we can do is keep going. The idea that nestling up to somebody and being kind will make all of their pain disappear is nothing more than fantasy. That's simply not how such things work.
Bernadetta: It's a mean ol' world, that's for sure.
Edelgard: But that's no reason to despair. After all, what are we fighting for but a world in which people are no longer left with scars like yours and mine. A world in which the people who wish to stand out can do so, while those who remain on the sidelines have their choice honored as well. That is the future we're building together.
Bernadetta: Do you really think we can do it? Because if you do, I'm going to fight right alongside you, and then celebrate by locking myself in my room!
Edelgard: I'd say that's perfectly acceptable, so long are you've taken care of the things you need to do.
Bernadetta: Aww, but doing things is the hard part! Stop being so difficult, world!
