- Kamui: You look like you’re having fun with that book. What are you reading?
- Siegbert: Oh, Kamui. This book holds the collected works of a beloved artist of mine.
- Kamui: It looks to have paintings of calm beach scenes and wheat fields at harvest. Do you like artwork like this?
- Siegbert. Yeah. It’s not just landscapes though, I’m interested in all kinds of pieces. It’s just, after watching so many battles, I mostly gravitated towards collections of natural scenes. It’s like a breath of fresh air… I can relax when I look at works like these.
- Kamui: I see. I kind of get what you mean.
- Siegbert: Oh, right. If you would like, I could loan this book to you?
- Kamui: I would love that, but… is that alright with you?
- Siegbert: Don’t worry about it. I have plenty more of these to go around.
- Kamui: Thank you very much. In that case, I won’t hesitate to borrow it.
- Siegbert: I hope it pleases you.
- Kamui: Siegbert, do you do any drawing of your own?
- Siegbert: Y-Yes… though it’s merely at a hobbyist’s level… I was taught it briefly during my childhood, you see…
- Kamui: To be a genius at not just swordplay but in the arts as well, you’re definitely Xander’s child.
- Siegbert: The fact that I learned so many things is all thanks to my father. Thus, I agree with you. I wouldn’t want to become a person my father were ashamed of.
- Kamui: If it’s you, then you have nothing to worry about.
- Siegbert: Thanks. Hearing those words makes me happy.
- Siegbert/Femui B: PCF1
- Siegbert: ……
- Kamui: Ah, Siegbert. I’m returning the book I borrowed the other day.
- Siegbert: Oh, how was it? Was it to your liking?
- Kamui: Yes. It was fascinating.
- Siegbert: Is that so? I’m glad. There are other collections that I highly recommend, so if you would like, I can bring them next time.
- Kamui: Thank you. I’ll look forward to it.
- Siegbert: ………
- Kamui: … Hm? Is something wrong? You don’t seem very energetic…
- Siegbert: Ah… sorry… I was only lost in thought…
- Kamui: If there’s something troubling you, I could lend an ear, if you’d like.
- Siegbert: … Thank you for worrying about me. Then… would you listen to my story?
- Kamui: Of course.
- Siegbert: … Am I living up to my role?
- Kamui: What do you mean by that?
- Siegbert: Whether or not I’m fulfilling my responsibilities as father’s son… pondering that, I became uneasy.
- Kamui: Your responsibility as his child…
- Siegbert: ……… … Forget I said anything just now. Whining like this to you changes nothing… The way I move forward towards a solution despite my worries is what’s meaningful. That’s probably what my father would do. If that’s the case, I will do the same…
- Kamui: Siegbert. It’s alright to stop and worry every once in awhile, you know?
- Siegbert: Eh? But, my father would never…
- Kamui: You’re probably right about Xander. But he and you are different. So isn’t it alright for you to be anxious sometimes? I don’t think you need to be the exact same person.
- Siegbert: Is that… okay?
- Kamui: Yes. That’s what I believe.
- Siegbert: … Thank you. I feel a bit better now. But… this is a first. I’ve never confessed my worries to anyone before. I wonder if it’s because of you that I can speak so easily. I’m glad I met you, Kamui.
- Siegbert/Femui A: PCF1
- Siegbert: Ah, Kamui. Can you spare some time right now?
- Kamui: Yes. What is it, Siegbert?
- Siegbert: The truth is… err… well… what’s wrong with me, I was all set to say it, but suddenly I don’t have the nerve…
- Kamui: Teasing me like that, now I’m even more curious.
- Siegbert: S-Sorry. It wasn’t my intention to tease you like that, however… … Okay. I’m ready. But… you absolutely cannot laugh.
- Kamui: I won’t. Since when have I ever laughed at you? You may be at ease.
- Siegbert: My apologies… since I’m not accustomed to showing my weakness to anyone… I became distraught. Actually… I wanted to show you this…
- Kamui: This is… a very unique drawing. Siegbert, did you draw this, perchance?
- Siegbert: … Yes. I’m not very talented, so it’s a little embarrassing. Because you were interested in the art book I lent you the other day… I thought… I would show you works drawn by me as well.
- Kamui: These are the figures of our friends chatting by the fire, right? I think it’s incredible.
- Siegbert: R-Really!? In my opinion, it still seems unfinished, though…
- Kamui: When I look at this drawing, I feel warm inside.
- Siegbert: Having you say that… makes me happy. … I think I always am when I talk with you, Kamui. I find myself thinking it would be okay to show more of my weaknesses to people. Until now, I was desperately trying to catch up to the greatness of my father. In order to not be an embarrassment to my father, or betray the expectations placed in me that I would someday become king… I hid my weakness deep inside, and put on my best behavior at all times.
- Kamui: Siegbert…
- Siegbert: But you saying there was no need to be the same as my father saved me. Those words lightened the burden on my heart. So despite my drawing being clumsy… I still wanted to show you it as is…
- Kamui: I understand. Your feelings were conveyed completely.
- Siegbert: Though I’ll probably continue to show my weak sides to you in the future, Kamui… if you would stay by me despite that… … I would be delighted.
- Kamui: Of course I will. Let’s continue to get along well from now on, Siegbert.
- Siegbert: Yes. I’ll be in your care.
- Siegbert/Femui S: PCF1
- Kamui: Ah, Siegbert. Are you painting right now?
- Siegbert: Wawawah!? Kamui!?
- Kamui: Sorry. Did I surprise you?
- Siegbert: N-No! Not at all! It’s just, your timing is impeccable… though my heart wasn’t quite prepared yet…
- Kamui: Siegbert?
- Siegbert: I-It’s nothing! Don’t worry about it!
- Kamui: Wait… that painting… could that be… a picture of me?
- Siegbert: Y-Yes… I only just now finished it.
- Kamui: It’s a picture of the two of us holding hands.
- Siegbert: I had decided to deliver it to you after this, however… it seems I found you before that.
- Kamui: You’re… giving this painting to me?
- Siegbert: Yes. Will you take it?
- Kamui: Of course, but…
- Siegbert: ……. Kamui. Would you like to hear the title of this piece?
- Kamui: This painting’s title? What is it called?
- Siegbert: This painting is called… “The Family of my Dreams”.
- Kamui: !?
- Siegbert: Just like this painting, I want to live together with you forever Kamui, holding your hand… I drew this with that in mind.
- Kamui: Siegbert…
- Siegbert: And this… is the ring I meant to pass on to you along with the painting. I… love you, Kamui…! Will you marry me…!?
- Kamui: !!
- Siegbert: I want to create an ideal family with you, like the couple inside the painting. Are you… opposed?
- Kamui: ……. This picture… is a little different from the ideal family I would draw.
- Siegbert: … I see. … Is that so…?
- Kamui: So… may I borrow that brush?
- Siegbert: Brush? I-Is this alright?
- Kamui: I’m going to add a little something to this painting. Right here… just like this…
- Siegbert: This is… surrounding the couple, are the smiles of many people…
- Kamui: A family where not just the two of us are happy, but the people around us become happy too… I want to build a wonderful family like that together with you, Siegbert.
- Siegbert: Kamui…! Yes. We can definitely do it.
- Kamui: Yes. It’s a promise, Siegbert.
- Siegbert: Of course. It’s a promise I will never break…
