Petra, Hubert enter the scene

Looking out toward Brigid, are you?

Yes. There are some times I cannot stop my thoughts from going home.

It will be much time before I return. Brigid feels... far away.

It is quite a long way. To say nothing of the sea that lies between here and there.

Being unable to return must further add to the distance in your mind.

It is as you say.

When I return to Brigid...I will be the new queen.

Part I
Part II

I am wishing to help relations with the Empire.

I am wishing to show my strength during this war and to help relations with the Empire.

I believe you will be successful.

You may not be Lady Edelgard's equal, but you are resourceful enough to make an excellent queen.

And, unlike Lady Edelgard, you will not be forced to harden your heart.

Not Edelgard's equal, is that what you are saying?

Understand that I mean no disrespect by this.

But it is a fact that you are far beneath her.

Make no mistake about what would happen if you were to raise your banner in revolt against her.

She would crush you mercilessly.

That is not a difference of equal...of equality. It is a difference of power.

Even if our homelands were on equal footing, Lady Edelgard would still prevail.

I can see with clarity the difference between me and Lady Edelgard.

But that has no matter. I would never lose.

How amusing. For your sake, you had better hope you are right.
