Nice place, isn't it, Professor? Standing here, you can almost feel the goddess's absence.

Discounting what dwells within you, of course.

Do you think some punishment would rain down from the sky if this monastery were to be destroyed?
link
Hubert
volume_up

Of course not. Even if the so-called Immaculate One came back here for revenge...

Hubert

That would only be a result of this war, not the work of a deity.

Do you hate the goddess?

Hubert
volume_up

If it is between love and hate, then I would choose the latter. The goddess failed to properly govern this world.

That is why it is necessary for Lady Edelgard to become the supreme leader of Fódlan.

Those with power must use it wisely. Is that not a teaching of the Church of Seiros?

Hubert

It's absurd to preach to others what you cannot practice yourself.
link
Hubert
volume_up

That is logical, but I am afraid your logic is informed by your humanity.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Yes. It is our humanity that pushes us to step up and take the lead should the need arise.
link
Hubert
volume_up

That is not the case for inhuman creatures with lifespans well beyond our own.

Hubert

We must fight to preserve what makes us human.

Hubert

You are the one closest to the enemy. I wonder if you will be able to maintain your humanity to the end.

Hubert
volume_up

You make it sound easy. I find myself trusting you. Even with my life.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Does that mean you know I will do what must be done?
link
Hubert
volume_up

You must trust me a great deal.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Heh. I've already dedicated my life to Lady Edelgard.
link
Hubert
volume_up

To throw my lot in with you is inconceivable.
link
Hubert
volume_up

But if I had two lives to give...
link
Hubert
volume_up

I might devote one of them to you.
link
Hubert
volume_up

Not as master and servant, but as equal partners.

We could be a couplet of birds, flying alongside the sovereign of Black Eagles...
