Maribelle
Oh! Good day, milord.

Chrom
Hello, Maribelle. ...And just Chrom is fine, please.

Maribelle
A-are you here all alone? Goodness, but there's a chill in the air today! Would you care for a cup of tea?

Chrom
Well, I won't say no. ...Thank you. You're very kind.

Maribelle
Oh, please! For a noblewoman of Ylisse, serving royalty is a high honor!

Chrom
In times of peace, maybe. But this is war. Kings, nobles, and peasants alike are all just comrades-in-arms. So please, don't wear yourself out trying to look after me.

Maribelle
Yes, but—

Chrom
You've been fighting as hard as any of us. You must be exhausted.

Maribelle
Well... I confess I sometimes find myself wishing for a respite. But then I remind myself how much harder it must be for you! Heavy lies the crown and all that, yes? So it's my duty to help you however I can!

Chrom
Your dedication is appreciated, Maribelle. ...A bit extreme, maybe, but appreciated. Just promise to look after yourself as well. Will you do that? ...For me?

Maribelle
Your wish is my command, milord. But first let me bring you that tea!

Chrom
I'll take it. Thanks.

Maribelle
I so very much enjoy our time together... I pray we find opportunity to do it again.

Chrom
I hope so, too.

Maribelle
Tsk! The pool of suspects grows larger by the moment!

Chrom
Er, sorry. Who's a suspect now?

Maribelle
Oh, milord! I didn't see you there! I was just going over my...list.

Chrom
Uh-oh. This can't be good. What list is that?

Maribelle
I've been keeping track of men who may be getting too close to Lissa! My darling is a bewitching vixen, even if she doesn't realize the power of her charms. So when these lecherous men get too close, I drive them back from the ramparts!

Chrom
...You aren't joking, are you. Why on earth would you do such a thing?!

Maribelle
Isn't it obvious? Lissa is your younger sister, and princess to the royal house of Ylisse! It falls upon me, her bosom friend and true companion, to save her from scallywags!

Chrom
...Scallywags? Er, look, Maribelle. I think my sister can guard her own ramparts just fine.

Maribelle
Ha! Don't be so naive! It seems even great men are blind when it comes to matters of the heart!

Chrom
Hey! I am NOT blind! ...And you're being paranoid! There's no harm in Lissa having a few friends among her comrades-in-arms.

Maribelle
That they are comrades makes them more dangerous! Snakes in the den, says I! As such, I've put a strict screening process in place. Any man who would speak to Lissa must first be interviewed by me. Many times. AND provide supporting documentation, of course!

Chrom
...Heh. I guess in a way it's reassuring to know that Lissa has you watching over her. Well then, I'll trust you to keep her safe for me.

Maribelle
Of course, milord! A woman of my position would offer no less!

A Support

Maribelle
Milord! I hope this day finds you well.

Chrom
As well as can be expected.

Maribelle
If there is anything I can do to ease your burden, you will let me know, won't you?

Chrom
Of course. Thank you, Maribelle. But you really need to stop exhausting yourself on my behalf. I don't deserve it.

Maribelle
Bite your tongue! Serving you is sheer delight! Why, I'd gladly lay down my life for you and Lissa.

Chrom
Well let's hope it never comes to that. I don't want anyone dying for my sake.

Maribelle
But on such a day, I would be first in line to thrust myself upon the enemy's pikes!

Chrom
That reminds me: I talked to some soldiers who saw you get captured by Plegia. They say that, as the Plegian army approached, you went out to meet them. That you parleyed with their captain, asking them to withdraw from Ylisse. And that the honorless curs responded by taking you hostage. Tell me the truth, Maribelle: Did you do this for me and Lissa?

Maribelle
...I thought to protect you and Lissa from danger. That was my only goal. I know it was wrong of me to take such drastic action without consulting you. But you must believe me when I say—

Chrom
Enough, Maribelle. I believe you. But I need you to promise something... You must never take such a rash action again. Do you understand?

Maribelle
Yes, but—

Chrom
Just as you care for me and Lissa, so do we care about you. We would never forgive ourselves if you came to harm for our sake.

Maribelle
Y-you...are too kind, milord. I solemnly swear that I will never do such a foolish thing again.

Chrom
It wasn't foolish, Maribelle. It was brave and...noble. But if we don't fight as equals in this war, we have no hope of winning it. And if Lissa and I were to lose you... It would be a pain we couldn't bear.

Maribelle
I... Well, I... It won't happen again, milord. I swear it!

Chrom
We must stand shoulder to shoulder. Divided we fall, but together we rise!

Maribelle
Milord! I've brewed elderberry tea and buttered some crumpets. Won't you rest a spell?

Chrom
Well, since you've gone to all this trouble... Wait. Is this gooseberry jam? It was my favorite as a child! How did you know?

Maribelle
A little bird told me...

Chrom
A little bird named Lissa, I wager. Heh heh, that girl...

Maribelle
Oh, how I envy your sister... You have such affection for her... And you have spent a lifetime together... How can I ever compare?

Chrom
Maribelle, what are you talking about? Lissa's my sister. You're my...friend.

Maribelle
Yes, but you are also royalty and... And you're surrounded by all these fine and noble women! All the time! Lissa and her friends... The court ladies... Oh, you must have such wonderful times! I feel so dreary and plain by compare.

Chrom
Wonderful times?! Hah! Royal court is dull as an anvil. It's my duty to attend, but that's all. ...And it's a loathsome duty at that.

Maribelle
B-but...beautiful admirers hang upon your every word! So how could there possibly be room in your life for... What I mean is... How will you ever find a place for me in your heart?

Chrom
Um, I'm sorry, did you just say...

Maribelle
...Wait. Did I say that out loud? ...I said that out loud, didn't I? ...Loudly. OH, GODS! Chrom, PLEASE pretend you didn't hear that! I don't know what came over me! Curse this blasted battle fatigue! My mind must be on the moon! Oh, that the ground might open up and swallow this foolish creature!

Chrom
Maribelle! Get ahold of yourself!

Maribelle
Er... *ahem* Forgive me, milord. I... I don't know what came over me. ...Again.

Chrom
Listen, are you—

Maribelle
Would you mind terribly if we started over? I have something important to tell you, and it deserves a better beginning.

Chrom
Well, I think you already told me... Er, but please. Do go on.

Maribelle
Milord, I am...deeply and madly in love with you! I always have been so, even when we were but children. Yet I've never been able to confess this shameful secret. You were always surrounded by those fine court ladies, and I... Well, I felt so coarse and provincial! I was ashamed, and so kept my feelings hidden.

Chrom
I...see.

Maribelle
B-but now I just don't care anymore! I had to confess, and I'm glad I did. It's like a horrible weight has been lifted from my shoulders!

Chrom
You really should have told me earlier, Maribelle. Because the truth is... I feel the same for you.

Maribelle
T-truly? Oh, Chrom, don't jest with me! Not about this!

Chrom
I assure you, I am not jesting. I've loved you since we were young. Your poise, your consideration for others...

Maribelle
M-milord... Are you truly...

Chrom
Perhaps this will convince you of the sincerity of my feelings.

Maribelle
Oh, heavens. It's a ring! ...And it bears the crest of House Ylisse! Y-you would have me wear this treasure?

Chrom
My parents had it crafted to celebrate my birth. I've always kept it safe because I knew someday I would give it away. I would give it to the woman I wanted for a lifelong companion. ...For a wife. So yes. I want you to have it.

Maribelle
This is a dream come true. I'll never take it off!

Chrom
I wonder how Lissa is going to take this news?

Maribelle
Lissa? Oh thunder, she'll be more excited than anyone! "My big brother is FINALLY getting married," she'll say!

Chrom
Ha ha! You know, I think you're right.
