[His regret is likely not helped by the way she rubs her eyes for a few seconds after he says how she’s still Edelgard’s ward. It’s something she is happy to hear and a ghost of a smile briefly passes over her face from relief that she is still welcome. But her feelings are raw enough that something like that risks restarting her crying in earnest.]

[She has her still watery eyes back under control by the time he attempts a comfort. She appears to not understand why he said that.]

But I would have discovered her absence eventually. What else would you have wanted to do aside from telling me and giving me this letter?

[She seems to have taken “regret” a little too literally.]

And you weren’t what sent — [She swallows and her voice is quieter when she continues.] — what sent Lady Edelgard away. Telling me isn’t what upset me.
