Dear Sir Seth,

I find your intentions and methods very dishonorable. I find it difficult to express this in words, yet do not think for a moment's time that I won't.

For two years, Eirika and I were together. And then you arrive. For a long time, she was alone, while I had Maric. I was happy that she had one of her allies here to be with her. But it seems my joy was cut short when you sought to marry her, forcing her into a marriage. I find such a tactic very dishonorable and rather irritating. It caused so much pain, so much that it still hurts to this day.

And then when Eirika refused you, you pursue one of my closest friends, Lady Sheeda. While you claim it was simply sparring, I do believe it went beyond that.

Sir Seth, I cannot forgive you for your actions. You are a dishonorable homewrecker.

Sincerely,
Prince Marth

.........?
Marth...

You do realise we're going to talk about this, right?

I am not sure why I wrote all of that just now.

Pent up thoughts, I think.
I hear it's good to get this sort of thing out.

Both of you. Out of my house.

...Balthier...
Well, I had plans of leaving already.
Technically, it's an apartment and not a house, though.

But yes, Arcadia and Takarazuka have already been rebuilt.
Did you spend so much time with Mister Godot that you forgot to check?

I am on my way out as well. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I suppose so. It is rather odd of me to do something like this.

About as odd as it is for Balthier to end so 'snappishly'.
Bear with me; I have just a couple more things to do.

I will continue to pursue Eirika. Because I have loved her, always loved her.

It matters not to me what you think.

I believe you should allow her to make her own decision, not force her into one which will make her uncomfortable and miserable. Would you do that to someone you love? Could you live with yourself knowing that she is miserable? Would your heart not hurt as hers does?

How in the Everlasting's name do you equate pursuing with forcing?

Well done.

From what Lady Eirika has said, she did not wish it but finally conceded to your incessant requests to marry her, despite her best interests. I do believe that was forcing her into a corner and not allowing her heart to sing happily as it should.

...

I wish to understand why you would do something of this nature.

You are such a fucking wanker.

And you know? I know who you are. From the Enquirer. Weren't you talked about before anyway? For something of the same reason? If all of that was really true, gods, get off your ass and do something about this shit instead of just complaining about it.

You don't see me just standing by, do you?

Be a man.

This letter's well on the way to it, but if you're going to capture your... lady... then grow some balls and kick this Seth guy's ass.

I do not wish to force myself upon her. I wish to give her the choice not to have her life thrown away by someone who wishes to tell her what to do.

And what happens when she fucking decides she wants to be with you? You're just gonna' let her fucking go? Don't be a fucking douche bag.

If she wishes to be with me, I'd be the happiest man in the world and wouldn't let her go.

Then tell her that.
If you end up missing out and let someone else have that, you'll want to kill yourself.
Or everyone else.

Of course, the sacrifice is nice symbolism. Heh.

I've survived for this long. I have no desire to kill myself.

I wouldn't recommend the killing yourself.
So you can kill others, or do as this smart-ass down below is telling you.

I would rather not draw the blood of another unless the situation left me with no other choice.

Then it sounds like you've found your path, dip wad.
From one prince to another, it's better not to have any regrets, ~~Marth~~ douche.

That is wise advice. Thank you.

Any time.
Wise advice came from Caim, by the way.
That's me.

I am Marth of Altea, although I'm sure you know that from the Inquirer. It's nice to speak with you.

Caim of the Union.
And again, I knew who you were.

I suppose you're not as bad as I thought you were.

That's good to hear.

Well, this is a side to you that I have never seen before.

I suppose I have suppressed it for too long, Lord Ephraim.

Good. Had you held it off any longer and I would have thought less of you.

I would hate for you to think of me as such.

Good. If you truly want my sister's hand, then take a stand. Decide for yourself what you want and earn that right.
