Gilbert: "History books only speak of the history of the nobility, but there's not a single decent person among them, is there? They kill closest to them to gain the throne, deceive their neighbors to claim their lands, ignore the suffering of the people they rule over...with so much history, you'd think there'd be at least one ruler who was kind and fair and filled with love for all, no matter who they were....no wait, I guess people like that wouldn't leave their mark on history, would they?" Chevalier: "Of course not. In a world like ours, where a class-based society has become the accepted norm, rulers who value love and fairness will always be the first to be eliminated. Those who seize power can never dare relinquish it. And if that causes problem for others, they simply pretend not to see. They care nothing for the suffering of others. That's the true nature of humans." Gilbert:"I don't know, is it really? I think people are naturally fair and honest creatures. The world makes people greedy, but that means the world is bad. People aren't bad." Chevalier:"If we go with your theory, that would mean there are no real villains in the world." Gilbert:"Yup. Because the true nature of people is actually love. I think maybe even all those corrupt leaders in the history books could have been kind to others if the world was different."
"If you stay in a place like the Royal Court, a place that lays bare all your greed, sooner or later you'll fall into ruin too. And you see, I want to watch that up close. I'm curious to know just how something like that will transform the woman with most beautiful heart in all of Rhodolite." — Gilbert.
"There's no need to be tense, you know. Sure we are important guests but you don't need to fuss about manners. See, if anyone comments on your manners, I'll silence them for you." — Gilbert.
Silvio: "hey Glumskull. What does that look like to you?" Keith: "good question. To me, that looks like an abuser and a victim." Silvio: "so you're saying she's giving off the vibes of a woman who's been violated in some way?"
"Do ya know what we call guys like that? We call them perverts and stalkers and creepy assholes." — Silvio.
"Are you lonely?" (...) "You told me just now that you didn't bring any servants or attendants with you from Obsidian. And I can't imagine you find Rhodolite a very pleasant kingdom to be in, as an Obsidianite prince. I just thought, it can be really exhausting, not having anyone around you that you can trust. Being on your own all the time...well, it's lonely." — Emma.
"If you were a bother, I'd kill you, so don't worry." — Gilbert.
"...Farewell, my peaceful days." — Cyran.
Clavis: "this is a very special trap. It could change the fate of the kingdom." Emma: "Well, I don't want tos be complicit in digging a trap that could change the fate of the kingdom." Clavis: "Haha! But really, let me finish. This trap is for that worldwide disaster to fall into." Emma: "...You realize that's going to cause a worldwide disaster of a very different kind, right?!"
"Coincidences don't exist, not for geniuses." — Clavis.
"You nearly died...Do you have any idea how much that chilled me to the core? Luckily, I was able to respond, so you were okey. But there's no guarantee it will go that well every time. I'm not some omnipotent deity. I'm better than average person but that's all. There was a very real chance that your thoughtless actions would have led to your death. And that would have been very disagreeable. If you died because of me...I'd never be able to show my face ever again." — Gilbert to Emma.
"There's no way I could ever be a good person, not for you. The only thing I can ever be for you is a villain... unfortunately." — Gilbert to Emma.
"The words were more like a threat, but it was a strange threat—a demand that I live, not die, as if me dying was more worrying to him than anything else." — Emma.
Gilbert: "Yes. But you are awfully red, it's just a sign of affection, you know. I had no idea you were such a naughty girl." Emma: "Hey! I'm just not used to this sort of thing, that's all!" Gilbert: "Oh? Then how about we do it every day until you get used to it?" Emma: "Give me a break, please!"
"Dearie me, don't tell me you're here for a secret tryst with my brother? I never imagined this unsociable beast might finally have his sexual awakening—" — Clavis.
"Don't worry, though, I'll still accept you, no matter what weird or embarrassing fetishes you have." — Gilbert.
"If you keep suppressing everything you're feeling and keep insisting that you're fine...eventually, you'll turn into a beast like me. But since you can still cry, that means you are still human. You should treasure that about yourself." — Gilbert.
"Your fine isn't fine at all. You're just like I was way back then, saying I was fine every time I killed someone. I lied about the pain, pretending it wasn't there, until eventually I couldn't feel anything, and I didn't even need to tell myself I was fine anymore. And since I couldn't feel pain, I didn't she'd tears. (...) You can't become a beast." — Gilbert in side story.
Gilbert: "If Silvio and Keith are taking part, I really should be there too." Silvio: "Give it up. You're gonna get stabbed." Keith: "I agree with Silvio—I really think you shouldn't. If you attend the memorial service, it would be far too..." Gilbert: "blasphemous to the dead?" Keith: "I wasn't going to go that far." Silvio: "how about, he's a tactless, insensitive idiot of a prince?" Keith: "I wasn't going to say that either!"
Emma: "....are you okey with this?" Gilbert: "as well as you know, I'm a beast." Emma: "...Beasts don't pay respect to the dead." Gilbert: "I'm good at pretending to be human."
"You said it, remember? You said you wanted me to learn to love Rhodolite. To me, you are Rhodolite. (...) Exactly what it sounds like. Think about it. Ever since I came here, I've spent all my time with you. And that means all my memories of the kingdom of roses are filled with you. Learning to love Rhodolite is same as learning to love the woman I hate so much." — Gilbert.
"What value does love has if your heart isn't in it?" — Emma.
"This is what it means for me to love." — Gilbert.
"You see, long, long time ago, I used to love everyone and everything, like a fool. I was like you—loving the flowers blooming by the wayside, the people I'd never met, everything. But along the way, I realized the truth—I'm the prince of the Nation of deception and decay. I am Obsidian. ...Everyone I loved betrayed me. So I changed the way I think. I figured out that all I have to do is control everything I love. The more I care for someone or something, the more I abuse them, crush them and make them my own. That way, they'll stay with me forever and never betray me. So I'll do it, for you. I'll learn to love Rhodolite and I'll learn to love you." — Gilbert.
"I hate you, but I'll do my best to learn to love you. So don't you think you ought to do your best to learn to love me, too?" — Gilbert.
Nokto: "oh right, you don't know. Despite how he seems, Clavis has actually contributed to plenty of medical advances and he's pro at compounding medicine....Despite how he seems." Clavis: "Did you really have to say that twice?"
"But a woman loved by you might be the most unfortunate woman in the world." — Chevalier.
"It's rare to find you without that piece of crap at your side." — Jin.
Clavis: "Cyran, go with her, just in case. Or how about...Yes, you should be Emma's personal bodyguard, starting today." Cyran: "Really? Are you sure? Ahh, this is great, it means I can get away from my troublesome master for a while. I look forward to serving you, my lady, and I'll do my absolute best for you!" Clavis: "....Hey."
"Oh, really...In other words, you shared passionate night with Gilbert, and you don't want to share the details." — Clavis.
"You know what they say, right? Men who bite women are really possessive. Sounds like romancing him would be a nightmare for multiple reasons." — Nokto.
"...Ugh, I heard he was in Tanzanite so I stopped paying attention." —Gilbert.
Akatsuki: "Where is he?" Emma: "...where is who, exactly?" Akatsuki: "Gilbert Von Obsidian." Luke: "He was here just now, and then he vanished all of a sudden." Akatsuki: "...So he's on the run." Rio: "just so we are clear, what do you intend to do with prince Gilbert if you find him?" Akatsuki: "Kill him." Everyone: "Huh?!"
Soldier: "Cyran, please! Help us stop him!" Cyran: "Not a chance in hell. His eyes are glazing over—I'll end up dead instead."
"...It's easy to take something white and dye it black. But it's much harder to turn black back to white." — Akatsuki.
"Good evening, little rabbit." (...) "If you don't let me in, I'll break the glass and come in anyway." — Gilbert.
"Because if by chance I run into your dear papa, he'll kill me." — Gilbert.
"...you're going to make me cry." — Gilbert.
"Hang on, little rabbit...are you thinking naughty things about me again?" — Gilbert.
"Oh, gods. Give me a break already.." — Emma.
Gilbert: "It's troubling how many fools there are in Rhodolite." Roderic: "You said something similar back in Obsidian." Gilbert: "ahaha, I did, too. I guess it's all the same, no matter which country you are in."
"It's not rare for royal families to have a predilection for debauchery and there are countries even in worse situations, where all people are slaves. The whole continent is built on authoritianism. Royalty and nobility hold all the power and they use it to control the world. Commoners like you know deep in your bones that you can't go up against the people who hold power. You know exactly what I mean, don't you? Think to back when you were first chosen to be Belle. According to the report...you rushed in and slapped a man who was being insolent to Chevalier. And you did that because you understood instantly that if he wasn't careful around someone so powerful, he'd be killed. And considering you ended up with a sword at your throat, you read the situation right. But if you stop and think about it, well, it's strange isn't it? Why is it a crime just to say something rude to someone? There's nothing about you or me that makes one of us intristically inferior or superior to the other. Humans are basically all the same. And naturally, from the societal perspective, we probably need people who can take the lead. People who are capable and talented, who can bring others together and build a better tomorrow. That's a healthy way to be. But right now, this whole continent is set up so that those with power can behave however they like and drag everyone around them into it. Of course, I'm not saying everyone's like that. Rhodolitian princes are very talented. And I think even Silvio and Keith will grow to be good rulers. The former king of Rhodolite was once known for being a good ruler. People change. There's nothing absolute in this world. And that's why authoritianism itself shouldn't even exist. If you look back through the pages of history, there's barely more than a handful of wise rulers. I'm the ruler of the country that knows deception and decay all too well, so I understand better than most. That's why my ideal, my ambition, is to conquer all the royalty that have infested this whole continent and free the people who are under their control. — Gilbert.
Emma: "...It's fine! We are not in middle of anything! You really should prioritize your work!" Gilbert: "Aww, come on..." Emma: "I'll even bake you something while you are working! What do you say?" Gilbert: "...I'm going to start sulking." Emma: "I'll bake you lots of somethings!" Gilbert: "Fine, fine. But just this once."
"Those are fighting words, you know." — Emma.
"I've known you since you were a child but I've never known you to do anything THIS stupid!" — Walter.
Gilbert: "She belongs to me so I'd appreciate if you wouldn't just start talking to her without my permission like that." Rio:"Emma doesn't belong to anyone!" Akatsuki: "I'll kill you." Yves: "Hey, whoa, stop right there! We didn't come here to start a fight, remember!"
Akatsuki:"I'm definitely going to kill you." Rio: "I'll help." Yves: "Would you stop already! This isn't the time—or the place—to cause a transnational crisis!"
"That sounds promising. I like villainesses." — Gilbert.
"...I'll work it out on my own somehow!" (...) "...I can't work it out on my own." — Emma.
"Luke, I don't care about me, but I don't think it's appropriate to be pointing guns at a woman, do you?" — Clavis.
"You're nothing like me. You're pure white. Nothing can turn you black. You're so white you're dazzling." — Gilbert.
"This woman came marching into enemy territory with her own foolish idea and tried to talk all of you out of your own foolishness. And in response, you all relied on violence alone and abandoned all thought and reason. You entrusted everything to the beast. It's already clear as day who's the victor here." — Chevalier.
"He said...that he wanted to go to Rhodolite and meet you. I understand that it was a very troubling idea for you. And it turned your life upside down. Even I am unable to explain or excuse it. I was there at his side and his actions were nothing but evil. I could hardly believe that he would actually go as far as to chase after one woman. But even so...I was happy. Because in the last moments of his life, he was finally committing crimes for himself, not someone else...and because he finally had some time that was entirely for him, even if it wasn't much...I'm so sorry. I know that in truth, all I can do is apologize to you. But...I was happy. Walter and I both were." — Roderic.
"There's nothing more painful for a physician than a patient who doesn't want to be treated." — Walter
"Oh, I'm feeling sympathetic...towards Walter, that is." — Emma.
"Well, I'll gladly be labeled a villain. It's my duty as a physician to keep Gilbert alive as long as I possibly can. And to keep him alive, I first need him to want to go on living. If he's going to claim to be a damned villain, he should at least be shameless enough to want to live...ahhh, that son of a—" — Walter.
"...I knew I made a right choice when I chose you as my pawn." — Chevalier.
"...Besides, I'd like to take revenge on him for manipulating me." — Chevalier.
"No, there's something wicked about your smile and I don't think I want to know." — Emma.
"I wanted to see you bawling your eyes out." — Gilbert.
"I can't see much with that hood in the way but I can still tell you're exasperated. ...You know, I think we are going to become good friends..." — Emma.
Emma: "...I'm jet black now. So black I could never show my face again in Rhodolite." Gilbert: "But you're beautiful. You're...the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
"But his eye was no longer the color of blood—now, it was beautiful, fleeting color of red roses I loved so much." — Emma. (my favorite quote gang)
Gilbert: "I don't like this." Emma: "you're literally the one who suggested it...?" Gilbert: "I did, but I can't stand you acting so happy about the idea of talking to a man other than me." Emma: "...If you keep acting like that, I'm not going to be able to talk to anyone else ever." Gilbert: "oh, that'd be nice!"
"He would never—....okey, maybe he would." — Emma. (about Chevalier)
Gilbert: "If I catch even a glimpse of another man nearby, I might end up wanting to kill him." Emma: "that's not jealousy, that's blackmail."
Luke: "it's not like we've spent heaps of time together, but he gave me money and stuff to support me, so I guess he's like my foster parent?" Gilbert: "you could call me big brother or something." Luke: "but you're more like a father figure." Gilbert: "then how about you call me papa?" Luke: "not a chance in hell. That's gross."
Gilbert: "and as you can see, he's quite fond of me." Luke: "I ain't fond of ya at all."
"...But I think you're kinda different to me. It ain't just blind faith or trust. Even if you love him, you're still trying to stop him. And that's cause you've still got your own ideals and willpower. I know I'm the one who said it first, but I don't think that's same as being conquered. Heck, if we are talking head-over-heels in love here, he's got it way worse than you do. Cause there ain't no doubt—he's in love with you." — Luke.
"I don't think killing is the only way to get revenge. Making someone stay alive and spend their life atoning for their crimes is a form of revenge too, don't you think? If they die, then it's all over. The pain, the suffering, it all goes away and they get to know peace." — Emma.
"And I know you can cold and ruthless but you always make me feel sure of myself." — Emma (abt Chevalier)
"Until now, the Obsidian Royal family have had nothing but war on their minds, but through this we can rebuild our friendship. That is a sizable accomplishment. This accomplishment was achieved by just one woman...and we most certainly cannot disrespect what it means." — Chevalier.
"The Hideout was filled with things that Gilbert treasured. And in midst of those things, I'd found a letter from Chevalier." — Emma.
"Great, now all these soldiers probably think I'm the most over-emotional woman in the world...which makes me want to cry for a different reason." — Emma.
"I'm not your father." — Akatsuki.
"I'm taking your daughter." — Gilbert.
"I hate the idea of anyone other than me conquering my friend or that girl." — Gilbert.
that's it:)
