Ah, there you are.
Something wrong?
No, I... I simply wanted to check in after the unsettling events of the other day.
I kinda try not to dwell on stuff like that, but I admit I'm having more trouble shrugging this off than usual.
It's gonna make my life a lot harder if my powers end up being evil.
Perhaps. And yet... Hmm, how do I put this?
Power is neutral. The good or evil of it comes from the one who wields it.
For example, I possess extreme strength, and have always believed this gift was bestowed upon me so that I might protect others.
And you...used your power to save us, which means it cannot possibly be evil.
Didn't mean to fish for sympathy there, but... Well, thanks.
My apologies if I overstepped.
Oh, Dimitri. Have you read that letter from your stepmom yet?
Ah, yes. I have.
It was a missive requesting the then Viscount Elidure's cooperation in her conspiracy against my father.
She claimed he would have much to gain from the king's elimination, all while shrewdly expressing sympathy with his objections to the reforms.
I had it investigated for signs of forgery as a precaution, but such a search returned nothing. The letter is authentic.
Meaning your stepmom was a willing participant in the Tragedy of Duscur.
She sent so many to die—and would've done the same to her own stepson, if all had gone according to plan.
All out of desire to see her daughter again. Or so Cornelia said.
The wretch's words deserve little weight...but I believe she spoke true.
In every memory I hold of my stepmother, she was always looking past me. As if the one she truly cared for was somewhere else entirely.
That's horrible. I never knew my real mom, but the woman who adopted me loved me with all her heart. That's how it should be.
It was horrible, yes, but what of it? There is no guarantee a parent will come to love their child.
Still, being faced with such plain evidence of her crimes is a difficult thing to come to terms with.
I had once thought her among those I would avenge, yet now she lies squarely in the path of my fury.
Pretty heavy stuff, yeah.
I can tell you're troubled as well.
You can see straight through me, huh? Guess that's what three years together will do.
It's Myson, that dark mage from before. He was... familiar with my power somehow.
And yeah, I know you said you trust me, but I'm not so sure I even trust myself anymore.
I just can't stand not knowing the truth. Who am I, really?
No matter what answer awaits, I will continue to place my trust in you. That hasn't changed.
But what if I transform and attack you?
I would do whatever I must to restrain you, naturally. Failing that, I'd...
Forgive me. It helps no one to utter such words.
It's fine. If nothing else, the threat of death is good motivation for me to get this power under control.
Have you lost your mind? It almost sounds like you'd be OK with him killing you.
I don't wanna die, of course. But if it was between that and killing a friend, I know which one I'd pick.
Professor... The possession of Relics and Crests has been highly valued in Faerghus since ancient times.
It's far from uncommon for someone to lose their ability to lead their house because they don't bear a Crest. Just like Miklan.
It happened to my uncle as well. The eldest child of the king, and yet he never ascended to the throne.
All families whose bloodlines carry the Crests of the 10 Elites are much the same.
But House Gautier takes it a step further, and absolutely requires an heir who possesses a Crest.
To that house, the power of Crests is a necessity, not a luxury.
House Gautier holds the most northern territory in the Kingdom, and they have fought with the people to the north for many years.
The head of that house is responsible for protecting that territory from fearsome invaders, whom they keep at bay with the power of Crests and Relics.
In exchange for that responsibility, they are granted special privileges within the Kingdom.
I believe the same. Ability cannot be measured by the possession of a Crest alone.
I believe that Margrave Gautier was wrong to disinherit Miklan simply because he did not bear a Crest.
Still, there is always a reason for why such customs stand the test of time.
Imagine what this world would be like if no one placed any stock in Crests...
Bloodlines that carry Crests would dwindle. The metaphorical blade used to oppose threats would eventually rust.
This same argument has been made time and time again across the years. Both sides are at once right and wrong.
I believe those with Crests and those without should acknowledge the others' strengths and learn to respect each other based on personal merits.
And that doesn't apply only to Crests. The same holds true for lineage, race, faith, ideologies...
If we could just accept each other and make mutual concessions, one step at a time... Perhaps... Who knows if that's even possible.
Everyone has something that is unacceptable within them. I certainly do, and I'd wager you do as well.
I wonder which is best, Professor... To cut away that which is unacceptable, or to find a way to accept it anyway...
You're wrong.
It's not like that, Glenn. I swear it. Any love I once had for my stepsister...has been tossed aside.
Only hatred remains. If I could tear that woman to shreds right this very moment, I would.
I don't care if she's the emperor. It's no different than killing anyone else. So I beg you...all of you... Do not worry about my resolve.
Please, Father... And you too, Stepmother... Do not gaze at me with that look in your eyes...
I will bring you her head soon. And when I do, you may finally rest in peace. I know it... Yes, I know it...
What do you want?
I see.
We should make haste and prepare to move out at once. I must kill her as soon as possible...
We have no time to leisurely set up camp. If I must, I will go by myself.
