00:00You
00:06That's the third time this month
00:10Well, that's that father never relents Oh
00:15Professor hello. Did you need something?
00:22Well, um, that is I
00:25I was just tossing out something. I have no need of it's important to keep our spaces clean after all
00:31You do well to remember that to professor a clean space makes for a clean mind or some such
00:38Getting rid of things you have no need for is the first step to managing one's belongings in an economical way
00:48Does that surprise you
00:49Perhaps it seems ill-befitting someone of noble birth to care about such things
00:54Despite my family's nobility
00:56We've never been particularly wealthy
00:58So my father raised me to be conservative with my resources paring down when necessary
01:03He also encouraged me to keep my living spaces immaculate. So the two go hand in hand, I suppose
01:13Yes, he's a good person
01:16Even when managing our territory used up most of our family's resources
01:20He still went out of his way to ensure my comfort
01:24Oh
01:27Just a scrap of paper
01:29It was already written on so no good for note-taking and obviously I can't use it to clean my Lance
01:36So I tossed it no need to hang on to inconsequential things, you know
01:42Professor did you come to check on me for any particular reason? I hope Sylvain and Felix aren't getting into trouble as they tend to do
01:50Oh
01:53Well, if there's nothing important I'll be on my way then I still have some cleaning to take care of after all
02:00Talk to you later professor
02:02Oh
02:15Well father never learned all of these useless letters are only creating more rubbish in the world
02:24Professor oh, I didn't see you standing there. My apologies. Oh
02:29Oh
02:31That paper well, I yes. Yes. It was it was a letter from my father. I
02:43Understand where you're coming from here, but I have no need of such things. It isn't like anything of importance was written on it
02:51Curious I suppose there's no harm in allowing you to read it go on then
02:58My dearest daughter Ingrid
03:01Are you well, I trust that you are behaving yourself and refraining from causing trouble for others
03:07Things on the homefront are in order the marriage proposal for you and the Viscount son should be prepared soon
03:14Although I am quite certain there are many superior candidates at Garreg mark monastery
03:20As you know, the very survival of our family is dependent upon whom you marry
03:26You are the only one left in the family who can make things right
03:29We are all counting on you. Do not lose sight of what truly matters
03:39Yes
03:41Perhaps you found it somewhat entertaining
03:43I've told you that we've never been very well off financially my noble family house Galatea
03:50branched off from house Daphnel in the Alliance
03:53Shortly after we were lucky enough to receive the support of the royal family allowing us to attain nobility
04:00to some extent
04:01But the territory we watch over is poor. It's harvest meager and our noble blood too has grown thin
04:09Neither my father nor my brothers bear a crest. I
04:13However do bear a crest
04:15Because of this my father sees me as our family's one hope for the future
04:20A crest is highly prized among nobles were I to marry into a greater noble family that financial support could soothe our woes
04:31Thank You professor
04:33Your sentiment alone is a great comfort to me
04:36Despite my own feelings. I understand his approach to all this. It isn't that he doesn't care for me
04:42I understand it very very well, which is why I I
04:47I apologize professor. I must be going
05:00Huh, I can't manage one more bite so full so full Oh
05:09Professor
05:10What do you think you're doing here? I came here to stuff my I mean to have some me time
05:17Oh
05:21So we're just running into one another by chance then
05:24Yeah
05:26If you had followed me here, I'd be a little bothered and probably embarrassed
05:36Who me no, no, of course not. I was just about to walk off all that food. I just ate
05:42Really? I came here to have some privacy
05:45But you're here now, so I suppose that makes it a bit less private I
05:53Suppose there's that possibility now that you mention it. Does that concern you too professor? I'm happy to return to the reception hall
06:04Of course nothing to see here
06:08I'm happy to keep walking off this food in that case
06:12Huh, the stars certainly are beautiful tonight, hmm
06:19It's peaceful looking up at them together, don't you think maybe we can do it again sometime
06:35Apologies for bothering you so late. I just really wanted to speak with you
06:42Ah
06:44Thank you
06:46You see I've been feeling conflicted about my future
06:51It may seem petty to worry about such things in the middle of a war like this
06:58This isn't something I open up about with many people
07:02Feeling such a sense of inner turmoil while the war rages on and others are fighting with all they have
07:08well
07:09It feels a little selfish
07:12The truth is I've wanted to be a knight ever since I was a small child
07:17Not just any knight like one you might find serving within the castle guard, but a true knight one serving a master
07:26However, my father has always had different plans for me
07:30He wants me to marry for the benefit of the Galatea family
07:34Defying my father feels wrong. I've seen how he struggled over the years
07:41His burden has always been far greater than any I've had to bear myself
07:46While he fed me extravagant meals, he subsisted on meager portions and watered down soups
07:53He never once complained
07:55Even though he must have been starving
07:57Knowing his sacrifices. I've never seen him so happy
08:01Knowing his sacrifices. I've never been able to tell him of my dream of becoming a knight
08:07Now that this war has begun
08:10My father has allowed me to fight for my homeland
08:13But even if I do become a knight, I feel an unease deep within me
08:18I fear I will never escape this guilt. I carry that I have shunned my duty as a noble
08:25To
08:30Follow both my dream and my duty. I I had never considered that as an option
08:37Perhaps there is a way
08:40Even with the Academy days long behind us
08:43You're still a professor through and through always listening to others troubles and offering up your wisdom
08:49I really am grateful for all that you do for us professor
08:53I hope you'll always be here as a guide to everyone. I
08:57Know I myself would appreciate that deeply
09:15Is something the matter you seem lost in thought
09:18I
09:22Know you've been very busy lately
09:25It's wise to take breaks and rest, especially with all that is going on in the world
09:32Actually, I
09:36Wanted to speak with you about something I I promised myself I would wait until the war was over
09:45Well
09:48Professor I have feelings for you
09:51of course, I respect you as a person and I'll understand if you can't love me back, but
09:56Still I had to tell you
09:59Though my focus has ever been on my duty and training. I cannot deny the feelings that have arisen
10:05My dream is to attain knighthood
10:08But now I have a new dream to hold tight to that is to be with you
10:14always
10:18Um, I
10:26Oh is this I
10:31Must say I'm a little inelegant with such matters battle is all I know. Are you quite certain?
10:40You truly desire to share your life with me I
10:44Am so happy I I'm worried that my feelings would go unrequited
10:50Now that all of that is out in the open. I feel as light as a feather
10:55my love I
10:59Swear to stay by your side always I
11:03swear on the goddess above and
11:05on you
11:06Here at my side you and I together
11:10entering this new age
11:12No matter what the future brings. I
11:14Will stand by you as your sword
11:18your shield and your dearest companion
11:23There is nothing that brings me more joy
11:26It truly is all I need in this world. I love you so very much. Oh
11:34I'm sorry. I'm overcome. This may take some getting used to
11:42You
