[Flayn lifts her chin in quiet defiance of his command, and meets his gaze without fear when he leans close.]
I shall not be silent. Particularly since you appear to be rather mistaken on several counts. I, too, have heard of the island from whence many came, but I was not there. The land I speak of is a different one, in which Edelgard and Byleth were engaged to be married after winning the war together. We have all come here from different versions of events, Hubert. If it was the Kingdom who marched upon Enbarr for you, then you have come from neither my own Fodlan, nor that of the Edelgard and Byleth whom I knew in Avalon.
[She shakes her head.]
I presume, then, that the professor taught the Blue Lions in your memory? In mine, she taught the Golden Deer, and it was the Alliance who defeated you. [Her expression grows fierce and grim, but proud.] After our victory, a messenger brought a posthumous letter you had written for Claude, explaining how to find Shambhalla and the Agarthans. We destroyed them.
[Her face falls, then, into something like sorrow.]
I was unaware of the many terrible things that Seiros has done. During my time in Avalon, I met a version of the professor who taught your class, and fought at your side. She and Edelgard told me of so much I never knew. So much pain and grief, horrors I scarcely can imagine.
[Despite how close he is, and how unfriendly, she closes her eyes and bows her head, folding her hands close to her chest.]
I respect and admire Edelgard deeply. Her courage and will, strength and compassion. She is truly remarkable, and I grieve for the sacrifice she and all of you made in Enbarr that day to ensure that Claude could lead us to victory against those foul creatures under Fodlan. Were it not for you, we never could have found them. Thank you, Hubert.
