Leo: Hmm... This IS an interesting puzzle.

Effie: Is something wrong, Lord Leo?

Leo: Not at all! I'm just mapping out our next battle strategy. The enemy is heavily fortified right here. I'm deciding how best to attack. Any ideas?

Effie: Sure... You could send me in. I will rush toward the enemy's front line.

Leo: What?! How is that a strategy?

Effie: I will keep them occupied while the rest of our forces attack from the rear.

Leo: That's a lot of responsibility for a single soldier. You'd never make it out alive!

Effie: Well, that's all I've got.

Leo: Thanks, Effie. I think it would be good if you stuck to fighting from now on. How about you leave the strategy part up to me?

Effie: Anything you command...

Leo: Effie, you are a marvel on the battlefield. No one is more daring than you. I've watched you annihilate enemies and perform impossible rescues. In this last battle, you took out 10 soldiers with a single thrust of your lance. Then, without so much as a pause, you scaled a tree and rescued a kitten. Where does all that energy come from?

Effie: Thanks, milord, but I'm just doing my job.

Leo: Still, I'm concerned. You're neglecting one of our most valuable assets.

Effie: What's that?!

Leo: You, of course. I'm appalled by the risks you take with your own life!

Effie: Sir, my life is worthless if I can't protect the lives of my companions.

Leo: Do you really believe others' lives are more valuable than your own?

Effie: I would die to protect my friends!

Leo: I see. You put others first—always. That is an admirable quality. Effie, I won't let you down. If you're risking your life, I won't have it be for nothing. I promise I will never send you into battle without a sound plan.

Effie: Thank you, Lord Leo. That is all a soldier could ask for.

Leo: This can't be... I see no way through this without taking casualties...

Effie: Lord Leo, am I interrupting something? You look upset.

Leo: No, Effie. I'm fine.

Effie: Are you certain? You're sweating a lot, and you keep gripping your forehead. It really makes it seem like something's bothering you.

Leo: I'm just reviewing my battle plan. No matter what I do, we're set to lose soldiers.

Effie: Oh, that's no big deal. Death is expected when you're a soldier like me.

Leo: Don't say that, Effie. Now now.

Effie: Well, the thing is...no one survives a war without losing friends.

Leo: That may be true, but it's not very helpful to say it while I'm planning our strategy.

Effie: The soldiers trust their commander, and if they die, it's for a cause worth dying for. Lord Leo, the soldiers trust you.

Leo: Do they? That's very noble of them.

Effie: I trust you too, milord. I would follow you into battle wherever you lead.

Leo: Thank you, Effie. I just want to make sure I lead all of you someplace safe. You're one of our best fighters and a loyal friend. I will not risk losing you. Please excuse me. I must keep at it until I find a solution.

Leo: Effie, do you have your eye on anyone?

Effie: Huh?!

Leo: Um... Did you just snap your shield in two?!

Effie: Forgive me, milord! Your question shocked me.

Leo: No, I should be the one apologizing. I take it you are seeing someone then. Is that it?

Effie: Lord Leo, I am a soldier. It is my duty to be a shield for my allies.

Leo: That may be harder now that your shield is in pieces.

Effie: Yes, but...I am also a girl! Of course I have feelings!

Leo: I knew it! So tell me... Who is he?

Effie: This is embarrassing, milord!

Leo: Forgive me, Effie. That wasn't gentlemanly of me to put you on the spot. I wanted to gauge your feelings first, but I suppose it's no use. I'll just say it... I love you, Effie!

Effie: Whaaa?!

Leo: I am in awe of the way you give it your all on the battlefield. You've stolen my heart!

Effie: Lord Leo, I admire you too, but—

Leo: I understand you might not feel the same way. I prepared myself for that. Worry not. I promise this won't change our friendship.

Effie: But, Lord Leo...I don't want to be your friend!

Leo: Oh. You need some distance then. I can understand that...

Effie: That's not what I mean! I...I want to be yours, Lord Leo! You're a man of honor. You always take your responsibilities seriously, and you try your hardest. That's why...I've fallen for you.

Leo: Really, Effie? That's wonderful! I was drawn to that same quality in you as well. I shall take my commitment to you just as seriously as I take our cause.

Effie: And I shall do the same!
