Being invited to tea.
Transcript
00:00You
00:06Nightfall already
00:07Suppose I'd better wrap up
00:09Good work with your training today Ingrid. Here's something to wipe up the sweat
00:14Whoa Mercedes? Hi
00:17Hello
00:18How long have you been? Um
00:21Thank you
00:22You're very welcome. I've been here since you started that long
00:27Well, my apologies for not having noticed you I get so caught up in training, you know, but why are you here I
00:34Can't imagine it was too terribly interesting watching me. I disagree
00:39I just couldn't help but admire your training technique. I have to say you are very impressive
00:45I'm nowhere near as graceful as you
00:48Graceful, I wouldn't say that but thank you
00:52If I'm to be honest, I'm the one who admires you goodness me how so
01:00You're always so put together
01:02You hold yourself with such poise and have such a keen eye for fashion. I mean even the handkerchief you handed me smells like
01:10Lavender is it?
01:12It's just lovely
01:14That perfume is a favorite of mine. I'm so glad you like it
01:18Even the fact that you thought to put perfume on your handkerchief is delightfully foreign to me
01:23I'd never have thought of that. I'll gladly share some with you
01:27You're welcome to come visit my room whenever you'd like we can have tea and chat. How does that sound?
01:34That sounds really nice. Yes
01:38Sipping tea and having a chat. It's unlike me, but it sounds lovely
01:44From now on we'll meet up whenever we have time we can go right now if you're free. Oh
01:50No need to trouble yourself and rearrange things for me. It's no trouble at all
01:55You'll never know if you're the type who enjoys chatting over tea if you never try
02:01All right, then
02:13You
02:15Apologies for my late arrival mercedes my duties ran long as per usual
02:20There's no need to apologize at all. Please have a seat
02:27We've met for tea so many times, but you never seem to get used to it. Do you Ingrid not entirely? No
02:34I'm not accustomed to being treated so
02:38delicately
02:39Anyway, what will we talk about today? I?
02:42Actually wanted to gripe about something that's been bothering me you gripe now. That's unusual
02:50I'm happy to listen of course
02:52It's the least I can do after all the kindness. You've shown me. Thank you
02:57The one thing I really wanted to talk about is marriage. Oh
03:05Yes, I
03:07Received a letter from my adoptive father about marriage discussions with a noble family and will you accept?
03:15That's the problem no matter what I decide. I'll probably be married off anyway
03:22What I really want to do is help those in need
03:25But I think it would be more difficult to do so if I married a nobleman
03:30Understandably so sounds to me like you need a strategy to silence your father
03:35Sorry to
03:37Silence him don't you agree? It seems the best course of action would be to consider severing all ties with the family and running away
03:46We don't need to go that far
03:48I'm sorry. I really just needed to let that out. I don't need you to worry about solving my problems. Oh
03:56Okay, it's just a bit personal for me actually
04:00My own father has brought countless marriage proposals to my attention
04:04He always was obsessed with me carrying on the family bloodline at a very young age. My hand had already been promised to someone in marriage
04:13But Glen died young that must have been difficult for you
04:18Would you have married him if he had survived?
04:21Hmm. That's a good question
04:23It's hard to imagine now
04:26Although I did admire him quite a lot. He held true to the ideals of knighthood proudly serving the king
04:33Even after all these years, I aspire to be the type of knight that he embodied
04:38But that's just it. I'm not a tool for furthering my family's fortunes
04:43I'm a knight at heart
04:46regardless of what my father desires I
04:49See a very noble cause indeed
04:53How strange that we should be worrying about the same thing even though we are such different people
05:00It's true
05:02Enjoying a nice chat over tea with you like this makes me realize
05:06Maybe the paths we walk aren't so different after all
05:10Don't you think I do?
05:13These tea parties of ours. They really are something special
05:18That they are
05:20Ingrid I would love to get to know you better if that's okay
05:23I want to know about your childhood your favorite books the sweets you like anything at all
05:28Absolutely, I'm happy to speak with you anytime and I want to know you better to Mercedes
