Level 40 quote

“	Geoffrey is both my friend and the greatest paladin in all Crimea. Lucia is the singular aim of my affections. The public has showered them both with praise for their noble actions in service to Her Majesty the queen. Alongside fellow patriots, I swore deliverance for my kingdom. But I would be remiss not to extol him... I speak of the famed heroic general who must be kept foremost in mind when discussing war effort impact. Sullied with the disgrace of abiding Crimea's occupation, we were once ready to make the ultimate sacrifice. Though we despaired, he pushed us to reconsider what we fought to save, and whom we fought to protect. His storm of passion pierced through the dark clouds and nourished our barren hearts. How moving it was! If I may, the skills of retainers and heroes are only necessary when nations devolve into chaos. Though our fate is tied to that of the kingdom, we should strive for the day when our services are unneeded. That being said, esteemed summoner, allow me to give a word of advice. Do not let smoldering embers lie. Discern what simmers behind the scenes, and—FOO!—snuff out flames before they erupt into an inferno. One cannot accomplish such delicate work through overt means. No, you must rely on manipulation and deceit. But fear not, for I will volunteer my services for expressly that purpose. Please, do consider what I have said.	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity
