[Edelgard's voice is soft and patient, her feet carrying her closer. She doesn't close the gap completely, but she still wants to be within his shadow, looking up at her most trusted companion.

You are allowed to feel. You are allowed to want things, and that is no weakness. I certainly would not begrudge you anything. You have dedicated yourself to my ideals and ambitions...but have you considered that I hold you in the same esteem?

I like your company. I appreciate how kind you are to me, and I trust you in ways I can trust no other. I do not know what my heart wants, nor what your heart wants, but I know that no matter who you and I ultimately wed, if we even do at all, the two of us are never going to be separated.
Our lives, for good or ill, are intertwined as tightly as can be.
