00:00Hi there, Ashe.

00:07Here to do some reading as well, I take it?

00:12Uh, Ashe?

00:15Ah, Ingrit!

00:18You gave me a start.

00:19How long have you been standing there?

00:21Not too long.

00:22Apologies for startling you.

00:25Must be a great book for you to be so deeply engrossed in it.

00:28What has you so captivated?

00:30Oh, uh, it's quite an old book.

00:32One of the really old legends of Fargus.

00:35Aha!

00:36It must be the Sword of Qython, then, yes?

00:38Oh, so you know it?

00:41Oh, yes.

00:43I know it quite well.

00:44I read it often as a child.

00:47In fact, I read it so much that my personal copy fell apart.

00:50I brought it everywhere with me.

00:52I adore that book.

00:54The Tale of the Warrior Qython.

00:56His devotion and loyalty enabled his best friend, Lugh, to become king.

01:01He went to great lengths to see things through.

01:04Exactly!

01:05I love the image of him charging forward into the fray, ready to take on any obstacle in

01:10the name of his king.

01:12Indeed!

01:13He was the very picture of the perfect knight.

01:15In my opinion, the best chapter is right around the middle of the book.

01:19Ah, the part about the War of the Eagle and Lion?

01:22That's my favorite part!

01:24In a flash, Qython's sword flew from its scabbard.

01:27The knight parried the assassin's blade mere inches from the spine of his king.

01:31Qython's blade hummed like the wind, slashing the enemy's throat.

01:35In mere moments, their forces lay vanquished, decimated by his mighty blows.

01:42I can recite the entirety of it if you like.

01:45I never grow weary of that tale.

01:47The pinnacle of knighthood, with all its struggles and glory.

01:51I know just what you mean.

01:53I never get tired of it.

01:55Some people laugh at me for reading these old tales, but I'll never outgrow them.

01:59I'm glad to find someone who shares my enthusiasm.

02:03I'm glad of it as well.

02:06Tell me, what other books do you enjoy, Ashe?

02:09Well, the first one I ever read was Lugh and the Maiden of Wind.

02:13Ah, you have fantastic taste!

02:16That story is another favorite.

02:18The final chapter makes me tear up every time.

02:22I know!

02:23When I first read it, I just couldn't get that ending out of my head.

02:26It seems we have much in common.

02:29I look forward to chatting again sometime.

02:31I'd love to.

02:32Yes, let's!

02:46Do you know this legend, Ingrid?

02:48It's about the Battle of Fodlan's Throat.

02:51Oh yes!

02:52I know it like the hilt of my sword.

02:55With so many valiant knights appearing in this story, I couldn't help but wonder which

02:59was your favorite.

03:00I really like this one, the one in the middle, the knight who stands in defense of the duke.

03:06Such a wonderful knight.

03:08One of my favorites as well.

03:10That makes sense.

03:11He's so noble and virtuous.

03:13In fact, he kind of reminds me of you.

03:16I...

03:17Ahem.

03:18Thank you.

03:20You remind me of him as well.

03:22You are honest, as is he.

03:24Uh, no, I'm nowhere near as great.

03:28Maybe someday.

03:30Maybe if we work hard together, we can both become knights as glorious as the one in this

03:35story.

03:36Together, yes!

03:37Now wouldn't that be something?

03:41If only we could.

03:43Huh?

03:45Ashe?

03:47The legends are exactly that.

03:49Legends.

03:51They're not indicative of real life.

03:53The cards we are dealt are what they are.

03:56We can work with what we have, but we can't change what's in our hand.

04:00What's that supposed to mean?

04:03I long to serve his highness as a knight.

04:06The sort of knight that legends are written about.

04:09But I was born bearing a crest, and with that comes responsibility.

04:14Whether I like it or not, I am the last hope of House Galatea.

04:18I am the only one who can carry on the family bloodline, and restore our lost fortune.

04:24To do that means setting aside my own dreams and ambitions.

04:28You still have the right to pursue your dreams.

04:32Ashe, I must ask something of you.

04:36Yes, of course, anything.

04:39My dream is aligned with your own.

04:43Please, for both of us, promise to see yours through.

04:46That doesn't seem fair.

04:50I'll never be able to see my dream through.

04:52Doing so would mean terrible misfortune for others.

04:57So, I am bound by honor not to follow through on my own dream.

05:02But, I can help you achieve yours.

05:06Come on, this isn't like you at all.

05:09Please, don't smile when your eyes are so sad.

05:25There you are, Ingrid.

05:29Whoa, uh, hi Ashe.

05:31You seem excited.

05:32What's that you're holding?

05:34A book I found in town.

05:36I bought it for you.

05:38For me?

05:39Ashe, this looks very costly.

05:42Antique books like this are never cheap.

05:45Wow, the cover is stunning, and the binding is still in fantastic condition.

05:51I drove a hard bargain.

05:53Still, I'll probably have to cut back on my spending for a while.

05:57Why did you go to so much trouble?

06:00It wasn't easy, but as soon as I came across this legend, I knew you had to read it too.

06:06Well then, I will read it.

06:09Oh, the knight on the cover looks striking.

06:11Fascinating, right?

06:13I was captivated from the moment I laid eyes on the cover.

06:16There's an aura of stoicism intermingled with beauty, even amid a gruesome battle.

06:22Wait, looking closer at the face, this knight is a woman!

06:29Yes, and she was a real historical figure.

06:32She was born into a noble family and bore a crest,

06:36but she was accepted into the king's service as a knight.

06:39She fought in many battles at her king's side, serving him all her life as his right hand.

06:45Oh, sorry, I've said too much.

06:47I didn't mean to spoil the story for you.

06:50I'm just so excited.

06:52I hope you enjoy it too.

06:54Thank you for the encouragement, Ashe.

06:58Living as a knight is certainly not an easy task.

07:01I know it will mean much pain, strife, and heartache.

07:05But I still want to pursue that dream.

07:08Talking to you has reminded me, I'm not the type who gives up easily.

07:14That's the Ingrid I know.

07:17So to start, I'm going to read this book.

07:20Great!

07:21When you're finished and freshly inspired, we'll talk about becoming knights.

07:25Not the ones in stories, either.

07:27The real thing!

07:29I look forward to it, Ashe.

07:35I look forward to it, Ashe.
