Zealot & Juno



C Support

Zealot: Juno, um…
Juno: Yes? What is it, Zealot?
Zealot: Our daughter… Is she all right?
Juno: Yes, I’m sure she is. I’ve entrusted her to a good friend.
Zealot: Oh…
Juno: Is something wrong?
Zealot: No, it’s just… What is she like? Does she look like you or me?
Juno: Oh, you haven’t seen her yet, have you.
Zealot: No. I’ve always been out working.
Juno: We shall go pick her up once the war ends.
Zealot: Yes…we shall.

B Support

Zealot: Juno, I was thinking…
Juno: Yes?
Zealot: I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave a newborn baby to someone else. You should go back home and take care of her…
Juno: It’s all right. I’ve entrusted her to a very good friend of mine.
Zealot: But you’re her mother.
Juno: I’m fighting because I’m her mother. I want to raise her in a peaceful time without war.
Zealot: But…
Juno: I might have told you this before, but it would be impossible to find a completely safe place until we end this war.
Zealot: Well, that’s true…
Juno: In that case, let’s focus on ending the war. All right, Zealot?
Zealot: Hm…

A Support

Juno: You’re coming back to Edessa once the war ends, aren’t you?
Zealot: Of course.
Juno: Will you always stay with us after that?
Zealot: Probably not… I’ll have to lead the mercenary knights around looking for work as usual. We can’t support ourselves otherwise.
Juno: But we’ve cultivated most of Ilia’s lands now. If we put our best efforts in, we could produce enough food…
Zealot: But that wouldn’t happen overnight.
Juno: Well, yes, but…
Zealot: Besides, we wouldn’t be guaranteed a good harvest every year. Where would the money for our food come from if the crops were to fail? How would we survive the winter if we were not prepared for a failure?
Juno: ……
Zealot: I must lead the mercenary knights and collect money until we are able to support ourselves even in times when the crops do fail. I’ll leave Edessa to you, so you should do your best to cultivate the land.
Juno: Yes…
Zealot: But I have faith that there will come a time when we will have good harvests in Ilia as well.
Juno: Yes, I have faith, too. I know that there will come a time when we will always be together as a family…
