Constance & Edelgard C

Constance
Ahahaha! Tremble with wonder at the magnificence of my sorcery!

Student
Unbelievable! It's simple tea, but somehow it's shining with the colors of the rainbow!

Student
And the color's changing as it's being poured! How magical!

Constance
Of course it's magical—I achieved it through magic! It's a spell of my own design, in fact. Impressed?

Edelgard
Is this what you wished to show me? I must admit I've never seen such a thing. Is it still potable?

Constance
"Is it still potable?" she asks.

Edelgard
Then I suppose you wouldn't mind taking the first sip.

Edelgard
That was amusing, Constance, but out with it. What was that favor you wished to ask of me?

Constance
It's a small thing regarding my house.

Constance
I thought Your Highness might bend some slight effort toward seeing it restored from nothing.

Edelgard
I had a feeling that was it. I wish I could help, but you must understand my present circumstances...

Constance
Yes, yes, I'm aware. All the more reason for you to get in on the ground floor, as it were.

Constance
My magical might is unrivaled, as I proved to you only moments ago.

Constance
Surely you can see the obvious benefit in having the sorcerous prodigy Constance at your beck and call.

Edelgard
I agree that you are remarkable. That is beyond question.

Edelgard
But how do you imagine rainbow tea will help me to achieve my aim?

Constance
Uh, well... Uh... Just imagine the acclaim it will bring you at tea parties!

Edelgard
It's a most worthy party trick, yes. But I have no use for such a thing.

Constance
W-well, it's not as if that's the only trick up my sleeve. That was merely a sample of my repertoire.

Constance
I never cease my work in developing new magic. Your Highness is sure to find some of it useful.

Edelgard
Constance... There's something important that I would like to talk with you about.

Constance
Oh? Have we not been discussing weighty matters all this time?

Edelgard
It's regarding a truth that you and countless generations of House Nuvelle have occulted.

Constance
Ah... That.

Edelgard
If you ever feel like revealing all to me, I'd be happy to talk further.

Edelgard
Until then... My apologies, but as the Imperial princess, there's nothing I can do to help your cause.

Constance
Of course. And now, I shall make myself scarce. Good day!
