Dimitri & Ingrid B+ / houses.fedatamine.com

Your Highness. I've come to apologize.

I mismanaged my feelings and got carried away. I've been thinking about what might have made you say the things you did...

I was so caught up in the moment, and in my own feelings, that I didn't think of what yours might be.

No... I should be the one to apologize. I did not intend to say such things.

I lashed out like a child. You were right to rebuke me.

I am disgusted by my own inability to express myself. Will you allow me to explain?

Of course.

At the Tragedy of Duscur, I saw countless corpses. Of course, I saw his too...Glenn's.

Ingrid, I doubt you would have been able to see him. They were unable to bring his body back, after all.

He must have died an agonizing death, full of pain and regret. That is what I saw in his face.

In that wasteland, there were no beautiful, proud deaths that could have been written about in heroic tales. Not one.

I do not want you to die a death like that. Not even for the sake of loyalty or duty.

A king must, at times, order his soldiers and knights to fight and die on his behalf.

Their lives must be used for the greater good—this is something any good king understands innately.

Any king who doesn't allow people to die on his behalf is too soft to rule well.

You leave me little room for argument. Have I disappointed you?

No. I chose to serve you because of how you are.

As your knight, I will stand by your side and uphold your soft-hearted ideals.

What has changed, Ingrid? You were so obstinate the other day...

I've realized that I haven't been facing a very important truth.

Because of you, I can finally move on. Thank you.

Hm...
