You think I'd cheat? On you, baby? Never. Come on,\nyou should know me better than that.
You're the only one for me. I swear.
Hey, if ya don't believe me, well...
Oh, I get it. If I'm not your type, do you want me to \nintroduce you to some other guys who have Crests? \nThey're all nobles, just like me.
What?! That isn't why I'm— You— You're worse\nthan I thought!
I just want you to be happy. You know, get what \nyou're after.
I hate seeing a girl cry, especially one as beautiful\nas you.
So you know, maybe we...
...
So, Professor, do you enjoy spying on people?
You look like you've got something to say. So say it.
You're a jerk.
You broke her heart.
Hey, that was between me and her, not you.
Weren't you listening? I'm on her side!\nShe knows that.
But you know how it is. Most relationships, they\nend in heartbreak.
Anyway, I don't know why she's so upset about me\ndating other girls. She didn't care before she found\nout, so why does she care now?
I really do hate seeing a girl cry.
It doesn't seem that way.
Is that a fact?
I swear it's the truth! My heart's in a million pieces\nright now. It's just the worst.
Believe whatever you want, but I'm honestly not sure\nif I can ever love again.
Well, I figure the best way to mend a broken heart is\nto head out on the town.
Why don't you join me? Who knows? Maybe you'll\nfind love. I mean, I know I will.
Come on. It's hard on me too! If only I had someone\nto comfort me. Professor? It's OK if you want to \nconsole me...
I happen to have some exquisite tea back in my\nquarters. You could come by, and...we could chat\nabout love.
Calm down—it was only a joke! You've really got no\nsense of humor, you know that?

...
What happened?
Oh, Professor. Heh, I didn't realize you were there.
If we keep running into each other like this, people\nwill start to talk.
Hey, don't get mad! I was joking.
They'll say, "Sylvain and the professor are on the\nprowl." Heh...
Ah, forget it. What do you need?
Girl problems, Sylvain?
Another lover's quarrel?
Well, you're not wrong.
I fell for that girl recently, but I just wanted to have\nsome fun and leave it at that. So I told her we should\nbreak it off.
I guess she was feeling a little more serious than\nI was. She started crying, and everything got a\nbit...complicated.
You're complicated.
Jerk.
Come on, Professor. Playing around with girls is the\nmost fun a guy can have.
Besides, I don't care what you think of me. I don't\nintend to change how I live my life.
I'm a good-for-nothing, if you haven't noticed, but\nI'm still a noble with a Crest. That's all anyone\ncares about.
It's best to avoid getting too serious with fools like\nthat. It only leads to trouble.
I'm gonna be forced into an arranged marriage with\nsome random noblewoman anyway.
By the way, Professor. You didn't know you had a\nCrest, did you?
I never thought much about it.
My father never told me.
I see. I suppose a mercenary wouldn't be concerned\nwith such things.
What was your experience?
Most children who are born to noble families are\ntested upon birth to see if they bear one.
Even descendants of the 10 Elites, like myself, can't\nbe legitimate heirs without a Crest.
That means, as children, we're only accepted if we're\nborn with one.
The heads of most noble houses keep having kids \nuntil they get one with a Crest.
Those children then grow up to be heads of their\nhouses, and the vicious cycle continues.
Do you get it now? To all these commoner girls,\nI'm just a trophy. Or rather, a studhorse.
You mean they only want you for your bloodline?
That's cynical.
See? I knew you'd get it. These girls don't love me.\nThey love the potential rewards of loving me.
Perhaps. But that doesn't change the fact that these\ngirls don't love me. They only love the potential\nrewards of loving me.
If I marry a girl and she gives birth to a child with\na Crest, that kid might become the next head of\nHouse Gautier.
But nowadays, with the bloodlines getting weaker,\nthere are a lot of kids like my brother...born with\nno hope.
For ages now, those of us with Crests have been\nenvied and desired but never for who we are.
I understand the value of my blood. Believe me,\nI hate how much I understand it.
I know better than to dream of being free from this\nburden. I'm used to it by now.
I used to think I didn't have the right to live freely.
You don't think that way anymore?
Heh heh... That's right.
You know what? I'm a bit jealous. The whole time\nyou were growing up, you never knew you had\na Crest.
You were free. Nobody pretended to like you. I kind\nof hate you for that... You were a spoiled brat who\nshould pay for that Crest. Maybe I'll collect the debt.
Ha! Gotcha! Wow, you shoulda seen the look on \nyour face just then. Don't mind me, Professor.\nAfter all, ladies love a dark and brooding noble.

Ugh, that hurts...
Ah, Professor! Thanks for stopping by.
How's your injury?
You got hurt protecting me...
It's not bad. I was even told I'd be cleared for service \nstarting tomorrow.
Besides, I got this scar fighting for you. It's almost \nlike a medal or something.
Didn't you want to kill me?
Are you happy you protected me?
I certainly meant it when I said it, but...
When I thought you were going to be killed for real,\nmy reflexes kicked in. I reacted without thinking.
It doesn't mean I've stopped being jealous of you.
But, come on, I can't help but look up to you.
If I'd had the guts to run away from home, I wonder\nif I would have cared as little about my Crest as you\ndo yours...
You didn't have the courage?
No... But if I thought I could have escaped, I would\nhave tried.
I'd leave behind House Gautier and the life of a\nnobleman...and anybody who knew I had a Crest.
Our home is to the very north of the Kingdom.\nJust across the mountains from us is land inhabited\nby foreigners to Fódlan.
Right now, it actually belongs to Faerghus, but I\ncan't say we're on good terms with the people there.
It once belonged to Faerghus, but now that the\nKingdom has collapsed, it's only a matter of time\nuntil fighting breaks out.
Anyway, that land has been contested for centuries,\nand all that time, it has fallen to House Gautier to\nprotect it.
Actually, our Lance of Ruin has been doing most of\nthe protecting.
But it was stolen...
I remember. Five years ago...
Those were dangerous times. One wrong step and\nwe would have lost our Relic to the church.
My father was afraid that the church would try to \nkeep the lance, so he entrusted it to me.
If an emergency arose, I was supposed to be called\nback home.
I guess those very situations are why my family\nvalues Crests so much.
Since I bear a Crest, my parents made sure I was\nnever left wanting.
My older brother didn't have one, and so when I was\nborn, he was pushed aside.
You know he once shoved me in a well? He left me \non the mountainside in the middle of winter too.
That's horrible.
You didn't try to get him back?
Even as a little kid, I understood why he was like\nthat. My mere existence stole everything from him.
I have no right to complain when I am surrounded\nby people who would give anything to bear a Crest\nbut do not.
Now women smile at me for the same reason my \nparents adore me...and my brother wanted me dead.
And I have to meet them all with a smile and a wink\nbecause I have a Crest.
So what you really feel toward women is...
You're wrong.
The women who just want to use me to become \nnobility? Hatred's probably the right word.
Though, in the end...that's just an easy answer.\nI don't even know how I truly feel about it all.
Yeah, yeah. It's late to admit it, but I get you. \nIt would be best just to tell them to heap their\nempty praise elsewhere.
Anyway, it was pretty unreasonable of me to resent \nyou. I'm really sorry about that.
And I want to say thank you, Professor. Seriously.\nThank you.
For what?
Before I met you, I'd gone my whole life not knowing\nthere was another way for me to live.
So from the bottom of my heart...I'm glad we met.

Professor, I've been waiting for you awhile. I've just\nbeen out here watching the sky grow lighter.
Sorry.
You got here too early.
No, it's OK. I just got here way too early.
I woke up, and I couldn't get back to sleep. And it's\nnice to spend a morning like this sometimes.
It's really just hitting me. For the past five years, \nwe've been fighting and fighting...
But now the war's over. It's time for a new way\nof life.
So I've decided I want to take responsibility for my\nown fate.
Fate?
Responsibility?
That's right. My Crest doesn't decide my fate. I do.\nIt's time for the first step in the right direction.
I don't want to marry a girl who wants to use me for \nmy Crest or a girl who someone else chose for me.
I want to marry someone I really care about. And,\nyou know, maybe I can't...but I'd like to try.
...
Do you really mean it?
You don't believe me? I probably should have seen\nthat coming...
In that case, I'll just have to propose to you over and\nover again...until you know I'm serious.
Marry me. I'd do anything for you.
I'm done lying, especially to myself.
If you cheat on me, you'll pay dearly.
I love you, so I suppose I have no choice.
You mean...
If we're together, I don't even care if I stay locked up\ninside for the rest of my life.
If you told me you didn't want me to look at another\nwoman, I'd go blind for you.
That's taking it a bit far.
Sorry about that. I got a little excited.
I've spent my whole life relying on flowery language,\nso it's a bit hard to rein it in.
OK... Calming down now. I'm just over the moon\nabout this.
With you by my side, I'm excited to find out what \nthis new way of life is all about.
We fought hard for today, and I'm beyond happy\njust to be alive. And now, I'm engaged to the\nperfect woman.
Strike that. You know what? My happiness isn't what\nI care about today.
I'm going to spend the rest of our lives together \ntrying to make you happy.
I promise.

Prom/Tower
Evening, Professor. Lovely night, isn't it? Just look at\nthose stars...
I heard you were headed over to the Goddess Tower,\nand I got curious about who you might be meeting.
But here you are all by yourself. This isn't a lover's \ntryst at all! Heh heh...
Tryst?
Oh, yeah. The Goddess Tower is where lovers meet.\nDidn't anybody tell you?
They say that if you exchange vows here, they always\ncome true. It's a sacred place for lovers.
Why are you here alone?
Where is your lover?
To tell the truth, I got curious about who you might\nbe coming here to meet.
I know this sounds weird, but I'm relieved to find \nyou here alone.
Well, the person I'm interested in...is already here.
You're here alone. I'm here alone. I was\nthinking maybe...
Wait. Me?
Well, of course! We're the only two people here,\naren't we?
I keep thinking about it, and it just makes sense.\nMy Crest and yours...
That's too much, too soon.
Marry you? I can't even trust you.
Heh, OK. True, true.
You know, I've never regretted any of my past\nbehavior...until you turned me down just now.
I can't be who I've been my whole life. I gotta get it\ntogether and become a man you can trust.
I know that sounds like another one of my games,\nbut it's true. I'll prove it to you.
Anyway, I'm going to head back to the ball. Since \nwe're both here, would you accompany me?
I'll go back with you.
I'm going to stay here for awhile.
Well then, my lady, I do hope you'll give me the\nhonor of a dance.
It will be good practice for our first dance at our\nwedding reception. Heh heh—I'm kidding!
Anyway... Let's get going before you change\nyour mind.
It's chilly out tonight, so take care not to catch cold.
And if you do get cold, you know where to find me.
Sorry. Old habits die hard, I guess.
OK. Well, I'm headed inside.
