I assume the archbishop was pleased with your performance. Did you return the Lance of Ruin?

No need to lie, Professor. I saw Sylvain earlier. It was written all over his face.

I'm glad. Sylvain must be overjoyed as well.

There's no need to lie, Professor. No one could have expected you to disobey the archbishop.

Edelgard

I keep thinking about what Gilbert told us...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Yes, Miklan was discarded by his family because he was born without a Crest.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Eventually he became a masterful thief and gathered enough ruffians to capture a fortress.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Right or wrong, he was a gifted leader.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

He could have been a great asset to Fódlan. What a waste.
link
Edelgard

It's true that a Crest can increase your magical abilities and allow you to wield the full might of a Hero's Relic.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But one cannot measure a leader's worth based solely on whether or not they bear a Crest.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

There are plenty of talented people in this world without one.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

People believe Crests are blessings from the goddess, that they're necessary to maintain order in Fódlan.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

But the people are wrong. Crests are to blame for this brutal, irrational world we live in.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Their power is granted only to a select few, whom we elevate and allow to rule the world.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Have you ever wondered if the only way to create a truly free world is to dispense with the goddess and the Crests?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Do that, and people will have no choice but to rise and fall by their own merits.

Lady Edelgard. I question whether you revealed too much to the professor.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Perhaps I did.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It is true that our teacher possesses a rare talent. Even I cannot deny it.
link
Hubert
volume_up

The ability to wield the Sword of the Creator is concerning...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I've already explained this to you. My power alone is insufficient.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

That's why I'm borrowing power from those people. If our teacher can wield it in my stead...
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I believe that would be for the best.
link
Hubert
volume_up

It's a risk. A dangerous one. You leave me no choice but to take matters into my own hands.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Please excuse me.
link
Hubert leaves the scene
link
Edelgard
volume_up

I can't hide from the truth. I can't do all that I must on my own.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

If all I can rely on is my own ambition, my path won't be easy.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Is it so risky...to reach out my hand?
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Father... I swear I will not stop until I succeed.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

My regret. My grief. My whole life. I've thrown it all away...into the darkness...
