  2. Hubert: Completely unreasonable. How will I see to this...
  3. Dorothea: Hubie? What are you doing here?
  4. Hubert: A routine matter. No cause for concern.
  5. Dorothea: Ah, so it's something to do with Edie, then.
  6. Hubert: And?
  7. Dorothea: She really is all you ever think about, isn't she?
  8. Dorothea: Look, I know you're doing all this so that she'll like you, but if you go too far, she'll end up pushing you away. Maybe even hate you.
  9. Hubert: This has nothing to do with swaying Lady Edelgard's sentiments. I am simply her humble servant.
  10. Hubert: I do what is in her best interest. Whether she cares for me or not is irrelevant.
  11. Dorothea: It really doesn't look that way to me.
  12. Dorothea: I bet you'd follow any order Edie gave, if you thought it would make her like you. Am I right?
  13. Hubert: Any order? What a thing to suggest.
  14. Hubert: But the answer is no. I will decline any directive that I deem would not be beneficial to her.
  15. Dorothea: Is that right? So, just for example...
  16. Dorothea: If Edie commanded you to find yourself a suitable wife, would you do it?
  17. Hubert: If it would benefit her in some way for me to marry, then yes, I would marry.
  18. Dorothea: It's easy to say that now, with no bridal party in sight. But if it was the day of the wedding? Nah, I don't believe that.
  19. Hubert: I don't care what you believe.
  20. Hubert: My only wish is to see Lady Edelgard fulfill her ambitions. All other matters pale in comparison.
  21. Dorothea: Hubie. "Pale in comparison"? You've seen too many operas. I don't think you understand how the world works. At all.
  22. Hubert: And I don't care what you think either.
  23. Hubert: I would make any sacrifice to support Lady Edelgard. It's a shame you've never experienced such devotion.
  24. Dorothea: You're right. I don't have anyone like that right now. But...maybe someday I will?
  25. Hubert: Then maybe someday you'll understand. Until then, we will never see eye to eye.
  26. Hubert: Now, if you will excuse me, I have much to do.
  27. Dorothea: Hubie, I don't get you. Although I do find your point of view just fascinating...

  30. Dorothea: Hey there, Hubie. I've been thinking about our conversation the other day...
  31. Dorothea: And I've just got to know... Do you really love Edie?
  32. Hubert: If it's one or the other, I suppose it would be closer to love than to hate. Why?
  33. Dorothea: Ahh, I knew it! That's why you work so hard for Edie!
  34. Dorothea: Oh, Hubie, I finally get you. You're just another servant suffering from unrequited love for their mistress.
  35. Hubert: You completely misunderstand.
  36. Hubert: Unrequited love? Do I really look like the kind of drooling simpleton to have that kind of motivation?
  37. Dorothea: I'd like to say yes, but I know you'd just argue. Fine, Hubie. Tell me your situation.
  38. Hubert: My situation is simple. I am walking a path.
  39. Dorothea: Oh, do go on.
  40. Hubert: Everyone has a path in life.
  41. Hubert: Lady Edelgard has shown me mine. It is just beside her own. So we walk together, side by side.
  42. Hubert: We stride ever forward, yielding to nothing and to no one.
  43. Dorothea: So... You're sharing the same dream?
  44. Hubert: Bluntly, yes.
  45. Hubert: But it's more than just a shared dream.
  46. Hubert: I have many feelings toward Lady Edelgard. Gratitude. Respect. Awe. Empathy. Trust. Hope.
  47. Dorothea: OK...
  48. Dorothea: I was teasing you, but I gotta say I'm just a little bit jealous of you and Edie.
  49. Dorothea: That you're able to embrace these feelings and stride forward along the same path...
  50. Dorothea: You're lucky, Hubie. I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to experience anything so utterly...operatic.
  51. Hubert: Why not?
  52. Dorothea: Because I figure the best quality in a partner would be that they make me happy.
  53. Dorothea: And loving another is really about wanting to be loved.
  54. Dorothea: I'm pretty sure that's different from how things are with you and Edie.

  57. Dorothea: Hubie, I've been thinking...
  58. Hubert: What's this all about now?
  59. Dorothea: It's about what you said before...about your path.
  60. Hubert: You mean the path that Lady Edelgard and I walk?
  61. Dorothea: I guess I don't really understand that kind of thing since I've always been focused on my own goals...
  62. Dorothea: But you, Edie, Professor... All of you are fighting for an ideal. That's big. It touches everyone.
  63. Dorothea: Then there's me, with my hands full thinking of just myself.
  64. Hubert: One person seems enough to me.
  65. Dorothea: Hmm... Maybe you're right.
  66. Hubert: Do you have something more to say, Dorothea?
  67. Hubert: It is unlike you to seem so uncertain.
  68. Dorothea: I guess so. I'm sorry, Hubie.
  69. Dorothea: It's just, I've been thinking a lot lately...
  70. Dorothea: About whether Edie might command you to marry me.
  71. Hubert: What?
  72. Dorothea: Perhaps Edie might command you—
  73. Hubert: No need to repeat it. I heard you quite clearly.
  74. Dorothea: Like I said, my hands are full thinking of just one person.
  75. Dorothea: But if you and I were devoted to one another...maybe we could strive for the future you believe in.
  76. Dorothea: Maybe I'd finally understand your path and be able to think about more than just myself.
  77. Hubert: Seems it's my turn to not understand. Did you just propose marriage as a way to get to know me?
  78. Hubert: How exactly would such an arrangement benefit me?
  79. Dorothea: Oh, it'll benefit you.
  80. Hubert: Go on.
  81. Dorothea: Well, this "path" you're walking with Edie will have one more loyal follower.
  82. Dorothea: Isn't that enough?
  83. Hubert: I suppose it may well be.
  84. Hubert: Your contribution to our cause has been noteworthy. I've no complaints about your battle prowess either.
  85. Hubert: And if you were able to walk the path as I do...that would be something very special.
  86. Dorothea: So, will you consider it? This is all because of you, you know.
  87. Dorothea: You made me wonder what it's like to be wholly devoted to another person...
  88. Hubert: Heh. All right. I'll consider it.

  90. [Ending]
  91. After the war, the Mittelfrank Opera Company made a resurgence, in no small part thanks to the patronage of Emperor Edelgard's confidant, Hubert. Dorothea made a comeback as a songstress within the troupe, which traveled all over Fódlan, putting a large share of its profits toward relief efforts. The opera company was warmly welcomed by the war-weary people as a source of solace, and became even more famous than before. It was not discovered until many years later that the troupe's tour had been a covert operation, coordinated by Hubert and Dorothea to gather intelligence for the Empire.
