Cygnus's Apology

I feel awfully bad, your, erm, Your Highness. I was sent to protect Elluel, and I wasn't even able to stop a simple kidnapping. I don't even know how to begin to say sorry...

I hope you don't think all us Cygnus Knights are like this! It was all my fault, and only my fault. I swear.

In fact, Master Neinheart himself wants to apologize to you in person. I don't think we can pay you back for all the trouble we put you through, but if you'd kindly go to Ereve, we'll do what we can.

Again, I'm sorry. Really, really, really sorry. And I want to tell the kid I'm sorry, too.

You honor me with your visit, Mercedes. I only wish it was under brighter circumstance. I've seen to it that my knights won't make this mistake again, so I'm asking you kindly, please find it in your hearts to forgive us.

I know this won't excuse our carelessness, but I have prepared this gift for you to express our regrets. The Empress also regrets what happens, and hopes you won't let this stand between our alliance.

Sir Lalich generously donated his monthly wages to purchase this weapon. I considered sending another knight to replace him, but he honestly feels bad for what happened, and I think he'll be extra careful in the defense of Elluel from now on. I hope you can give him a second chance.

Yeah, I know Neinheart isn't the easiest guy to get along with, but he's a good guy...Your Majesty.
