Vincent:  "You can’t act like this has nothing to do with you…”

Vincent:  “You suggest I should investigate seriously rather than engage in idle speculation? I believe you were the one who said this man’s testimony is hopelessly flimsy. Who could he convince with a story like that? Allow me to be clear: The people of the empire are no friends of the Sword Saint.”

Ferris:  “Argh…” Ferris’s face stiffened at Vincent’s brusque rebuttal. The ruler of Volakia was right, of course. The only reason Julius and Ferris gave any credence at all to Reinhard’s explanation was because they knew and trusted him personally. Without that, all who were present had to admit that circumstances looked grave for the red-haired man. However…

Reinhard:  “…If you’ll forgive my asking, sir, why did you come to that room?”

Julius:  “Julius?” Reinhard looked quizzically at the other knight, who had bowed his head as he posed a question to the emperor. Julius took note of this look from his peripheral vision, refusing to take his eyes off of Vincent.

Julius:  “Ferris and I saw Reinhard led out of our guest chambers, ostensibly at your summons. If you had come to the throne room to speak with him, that would make sense. But in that case…”

Vincent:  “You question why I allowed you to carry me off and create such a spectacle?”

Julius:  “…Yes, Your Majesty. Further, it was you yourself who quoted The Guillotine of Magrizza, implicitly ordering us to take you… I can only imagine you have some deep design the likes of us cannot fathom.”

Vincent:  “Do you imagine, or do you wish and hope? …Well, no matter. You have the right of it, in broad terms. Passing marks for you.” Vincent, one eye closed, snorted softly. The moment he did so, the tension in the grove eased slightly; Ferris found himself letting out a breath he hadn’t known he had been holding. The unseen friction between the knights of Lugunica and the emperor of Volakia vanished. At least, Ferris felt that was so.

Vincent:  "Sword Saint, I suppose that you took me captive in order to cover yourself.”

Reinhard:  “As you say, Your Majesty. I’ve never encountered such a pitch of hatred as I felt in that room, and despite the impropriety, I secured your person.”
gpt
Vincent:  “‘A pitch of hatred.’ Indeed. I believe it would be most surprising if anyone in the vicinity of that room didn’t want to kill you.”

Reinhard:  “As I said—I’ve never encountered the like.” That was a natural explanation of what seemed a reckless action on Reinhard’s part—taking Vincent hostage on the way to kidnapping him. It was as good as announcing that all the soldiers of the empire lined up at the door were nothing before Reinhard.
gpt
Vincent:  “An insolent man. You seem to know no fear.” Vincent’s remark could have been taken as embarrassing to the empire, and he dropped it there.

Vincent:  Next, he turned to meet Julius’s golden eyes.
