"So much suffering. So much death. Like my husband and my children, this soldier gave her life for Evermore. I wish I could offer her more comfort, but I can only pray with her to gods whose mercy I have come to doubt."
- I am sorry for your losses, Your Majesty. "Many others are enduring similar losses. I deserve no more compassion than they do. In truth, knowing they share my grief has been a great consolation. You are not here for grieving though. Is there some official business that demands my attention?"
- Your handmaiden asked that I report here. "Oh, of course. Glarikha told me. I hope you'll forgive her. Her intentions are good, but she misled you—that request was not on my behalf. She can't seem to accept my decision to step aside and let Duke Renchant handle all matters of state."
- You don't want to know what I found then? "I would, but at another time. I hope you understand. Losing my family ... I just need time, and I believe this is how I can best serve the people right now. If you have concerns about security though, you must report them to the duke."
- As you wish, Your Majesty. "Thank you for respecting my wishes. Perhaps you can convince Glarikha to do the same. She's already off again, investigating some ship at the docks. These matters are the duke's concern now, and he has my support. He'll appreciate your help though."
- I'll go speak with the duke right away then.

If approached again:
"Again, thank you for understanding my position. Duke Renchant is a very intelligent man, and he will make the right decisions to ensure that Evermore does not fall."
After overhearing Captain Ahnu and Captain Hjurrun:
"Somehow, I had a feeling I'd see you again. Tell me, has Glarikha gotten herself into trouble this time? Or is it that the duke didn't take kindly to you questioning his decisions?"
- The duke is handing the city over to Imperial control. "Oh come now, you can't expect me to believe that! Has Glarikha resorted to trying to deceive me now? This is a jest ... right? Surely Duke Renchant would never even consider such a thing."
- These Imperial Orders prove it. "I-I can't believe what I'm reading ... How could Renchant be such a fool? Has he given up on defending the kingdom and decided to accept the lesser of two evils? This is simply mad."
- So you didn't know anything about this? "Of course not! Though I can blame myself no less. I am the one who trusted the fool. He's apparently just a damn coward. You know, Eamond told me Renchant was naive. You've now given me proof of this fact."
- These Imperial Orders prove it. "I-I can't believe what I'm reading ... How could Renchant be such a fool? Has he given up on defending the kingdom and decided to accept the lesser of two evils? This is simply mad."
