[The questions being asked are those he has pondered from the moment of his arrival. What is he going to do with himself now? Every step he has taken it has been by her command and will. Life without her... it doesn't much seem like a life worth living. He was raised and groomed and trained to serve her until he could serve no more.
But before he answers that question he must first defend his lady's possibly damaged name.]
I do not know what you've have heard of Emperor Edelgard. But if I am the only one of my contingent then whatever you have heard will be remarkably one sided. I know and am aware that her actions to all others will speak of violence and warmongering. But that, at the end of all things, was not her goal. But sometimes you must overturn an entire foundation to right the wrongs of the world. That is all she wanted to do. She who has suffered more than any person I know wanted to make it so others did not experience what she did. It required blood and sacrifice but the results would have made our world so much better.
As for my path here... [Difficult to answer.] I have only known loyalty and servitude to her. Without her shadow I am unfamiliar where to go. And as someone who is keenly aware of his own demise returning home seems... unlikely. My position here is unfortunate indeed. But... if she is not here then I think I would try to find a way to get to her. Surely she must be there somewhere. Her dreams still needing to be fulfilled and I will see it done.
