Priscilla:
Lord Brother...

Raven:
Ah, Priscilla...

Priscilla:
It is I--Might I be with you a moment?

Raven:
...Certainly.

Priscilla:
Thank you. ... ...

Raven:
Something wrong?

Priscilla:
I...am very happy. To be next to my lord brother like this... I have dreamed often of this day.

Raven:
... ...

Priscilla:
Um...Lord Brother? ...Do you remember this ring?

Raven:
Hmm, what's that?

Priscilla:
You have forgotten... That is too bad. When I was young... When I was with you in Cornwell... You made a promise to me, brother. You said: When I grew larger, you'd take me as your bride.

Raven:
Yes, but, surely... Priscila...?

Priscilla:
Yes, I know. It was a child's game. So you said to me as I cried and cried... And then you gave me this ring.

Raven:
And...And you still...

Priscilla:
I am still a child -- So allow me one more childish wish of you. Please, let me stand here, by your side. Don't make me suffer in loneliness again.

Raven:
... ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven:
Priscilla.

Priscilla:
Yes, Lord Brother?

Raven:
You...should return to Etruria. You should not stay here any longer.

Priscilla:
What? B-But why?

Raven:
... ...

Priscilla:
Please, don't make me leave! Not after I came all this way to see you again...

Raven:
But, there are things I must do. And I don't want you getting involved!

Priscilla:
Lord Brother! You are not planning something dangerous?

Raven:
... ... It's nothing you need know of.

Priscilla:
It is something dangerous! Then, now more than ever, I cannot be made to leave! If you are to face danger, then let me face it by your side!

Raven:
You're not listening, Priscilla. You were sent to Etruria for adoption-- You are no longer of House Cornwell. And...I am no longer your brother.

Priscilla:
Lord Brother! How could...Lord Brother!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Priscilla:
Lord Brother.

Raven:
Priscilla... I am through speaking with you. I am your brother no longer. Please, return to Etruruia...

Priscilla:
No, I cannot. No matter what you say... I cannot go home.

Raven:
Priscilla!

Priscilla:
I cannot bear to be somewhere where you are not! I love you, Lord Brother. I want to be with you, together. I...cannot leave your side.

Raven:
... ...

Priscilla:
... ...

Raven:
I see. You...were always like this, though, weren't you? So gentle at most times, until you got an idea in your head--then you wouldn't budge, no matter what people said.

Priscilla:
Yes... I'm afraid I caused you much trouble.

Raven:
Priscilla...

Priscilla:
Brother... Say what you will, I shall not leave. As long as you are here, lord Brother, so, too, must I remain.

Raven:
...Understood. You win, Priscilla.

Priscilla:
What...?

Raven:
I planned to get revenge on Ostia for the destruction of House Cornwell. Since I cast aside the name Raymond and took the name Raven, revenge is all I have lived for. But...now, I have given that up. ...It is not right to abandon my little sister.

Priscilla:
Bro-- Lord Brother!

Raven:
That is all I have to say. Let's be off, Priscilla. You were going to stay by my side, were you not?

Priscilla:
Yes... And, Lord Brother?

Raven:
What?

Priscilla:
Thank you, Lord Brother.

Raven:
... ...
