Perfect Butler
( Outside the Castle )
Edward: Pardon me, but might I find Master Euden in this castle?
Euden: Oh, yes, that's me.
Edward: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Edward.
Edward: Would you have any interest in employing me as your butler?
Euden: Well, I don't know that we really need a butler right n-
Ranzal: A butler? Saaaay! So what's a guy like you do, anyway? Buttle?
Cleo: Would we be free to call upon you as well if Euden wished it?
Euden: Gaah! When did you two get here?
Edward: I will lend my services to any and all whom my master wishes, should I come under his employ.
Ranzal: Yer serious?!
Ranzal: Euden, ya gotta hire this guy!
Ranzal: He could really help me out with my chores! Repairin' the castle, takin' care of my weapons- everything!
Cleo: And I could use someone to help me with cooking and keeping our supplies stocked.
Edward: Well, there you have it. What say you, Master Euden?
Euden: Hmmm... All right. If that's what they want, then you're hired.
Edward: Splendid.
Edward: Now then, let us get right to your scheduled tasks for the day.
Edward: Hmm... It seems you've only completed about half of them.
Edward: You shal have to finish training and patrolling the area before lunch.
Euden: I was actually thinking of eating first, since I'm already pretty hungr-
Edward: Unacceptable. Any task scheduled for the morning must be completed by noon.
Edward: After all, that is when you are due to battle some fiends.
Euden: Wait, but that hardly leaves me any time to eat-
Edward: Such are the consequences when you dally in the morning.
Edward: Rest assured, you shall have plenty of time for lunch tomorrow.
Euden: But...
Edward: It was you who wished to hire me as your butler, was it not?
Euden: I...
Edward: As such, while I tend to your daily needs, I shall determine if you are truly worthy of being my master.
Edward: Worry not; I shall manage every facet of your life from here on.
Edward: You shall be an exemplary master in no time.
Edward: Assuming you don't break before that happens, of course.
Euden: Uh... C-Cleo? Ranzal?
Ranzal: ...Ya know what? I should probably just handle things m'self.
Ranzal: So, uh, I'm gonna go make some repairs to the castle!
Cleo: Nor do I require any assistance.
Cleo: Organizing our inventory is a job handled easily by one person.
Euden: D-don't just leave me here...
Edward: Come, Master Euden.
Edward: There is too much to be done for you to pass another moment in idleness. We must begin at once.
More like a Drill Sergeant
Edward: Good morning, master.
Edward: Please get dressed at once.
Edward: You have slept for longer than scheduled.
Euden: Huh? But I woke up way earlier than usual today...
Edward: Making excuses only wastes more time.
Euden: Fine, fine. I'll get changed.
Elisanne: May I come in, Euden?
Euden: Wait, Elisanne? What is she doing here?!
Edward: She has come for a meeting regarding today's campaign.
Edward: I took the liberty of scheduling it yesterday.
Euden: I can't have a meeting while I'm in the middle of changing!
Edward: Had you started your day as scheduled, you would be changed and sipping tea at this very moment.
Edward: Let this serve as a lesson to avoid oversleeping in the future.
Edward: Now then... I believe we've kept Madam Elisanne waiting long enough.
Edward: I shall get the door.
Euden: W-wait!
( Timeskip )
Euden: *sigh* Lunchtime at last...
Edward: You are holding your spoon incorrectly, Master Euden.
Euden: So? It's not like anyone's watching. Or cares, for that matter.
Edward: Royalty must always adhere to proper etiquette. Anything less would be unbecoming.
Edward: Now, please adjust your grip.
Euden: Fine... There.
Edward: It is improper to make such a racket while one eats.
Edward: Your spoon strikes the bowl each time you dig at the soup.
Euden: Will you just let me eat?!
Edward: Ah, it is almost time for battle. Come.
Euden: Hold on, I haven't even had a single bite!
Edward: I will prepare a light meal instead. If your schedule is delayed further, however, I'm afraid you won't have time to eat that either.
( Timeskip; Scenery Change to Forest )
Edward: Master Euden, you are slouching.
Edward: Royalty must always remain tall and dignified, even as they march.
Ranzal: Bwaaa ha ha ha!
Ranzal: Ya just can't catch a break, can ya? Shoula billed himself as a drill sergeant, not a butler.
Euden: None of this is funny.
Ranzal: Ah, c'mon.
Ranzal: Having someone to manage every aspect of yer life is probably great for yer health-
Edward: Master Ranzal!
Edward: Please refrain from any side chatter. It slows your pace, which will adversely affect the reast of today's schedule.
Ranzal: Hey now, don't go worryin' about me. You're Euden's butler, not mine.
Edward: A master is only as strong as his weakest subject, I fear.
Edward: Now then, Master Ranzal, you really ought to straighten your own posture as well. Chin up, eyes forward, and pace steady.
Ranzal: Ugh... Is he always like this, Euden?
Ranzal: You were right. It ain't funny at all.
