Hubert & Ferdinand B

Hubert
Show them this letter. Threaten them. Do what you must. Now, go.

Imperial Soldier
Yes, sir!

Ferdinand
Hubert, that letter. Is that what I think it was?

Hubert
I suppose there's no denying it.

Ferdinand
But Edelgard—

Hubert
Explicitly forbade me to send it. Yes, I know.

Ferdinand
I cannot believe it! You disobeyed a direct order?

Ferdinand
I thought you were her loyal aide.

Hubert
Unwaveringly. All that I do, I do for her.

Hubert
I seem to recall you expressing a similar sentiment.

Hubert
It is our role to guide her when she is on the wrong course of action. Is that not what you said?

Ferdinand
You are not supposed to do it in secret!

Ferdinand
When you disagree with your leader, you must voice your concerns directly. Otherwise, what is the point?

Hubert
The point is the same. Lady Edelgard's best interests are served, whether she knows it or not.

Hubert
She needs not trouble herself with the mundane details of my actions. Only results matter.

Ferdinand
You are sorely misguided!

Ferdinand
When I believe that Edelgard is making a mistake, I tell her as much.

Ferdinand
Through discussing the matter, I sometimes find that I was mistaken.

Ferdinand
To skip that process, to make a decision that is not yours to make...

Hubert
Perhaps your advice is simply useless, then.

Ferdinand
Excuse me?!

Hubert
Listen to yourself. If I do as Lady Edelgard requires, then you tell me to be more independent.

Hubert
But if I tread my own path, I am misguided!

Hubert
I suppose the fault is mine for expecting any useful advice to come out of your mouth. Heh.

Ferdinand
Ugh, I have had enough of your grousing.

Ferdinand
To think, I started to believe you were a useful aide!
