Chapter Quotes

White Clouds Chapter 2: Familiar Scenery

First Kill

• "Allow me to clean this up for you, Lady Edelgard."

White Clouds Chapter 6: Rumors of a Reaper

Vs. the Death Knight

• Hubert: You should withdraw from here.
• Death Knight: I don't take orders from you...

White Clouds Chapter 9: The Cause of Sorrow

Goddess Tower

• Hubert: Here for a tryst, Professor? I won't interfere. I shall take my leave at once. Farewell.
• Byleth:
  • Choice 1: Just a moment.
  • Choice 2: What do you mean, a tryst?
• Hubert:
  • Choice 1 Response: Yes? What is it? I assume you are waiting on someone.
  • Choice 2 Response: You have arranged to meet someone here at the Goddess Tower, have you not?
• Byleth: No, not at all.
• Hubert: I see. Apologies for the misunderstanding. Then I take it you are unfamiliar with the rumors about this place?
• Byleth: What rumors?
• Hubert: There is an old legend that says promises made between lovers here are sure to be fulfilled. If you believe in that sort of thing. I would have expected you to be familiar with the story already, considering how popular you are. I was certain that someone had asked you here.
• Byleth:
  • Choice 1: I am not that popular.
  • Choice 2: That is not the case.
• Hubert:
  • Choice 1 Response: On the contrary.
  • Choice 2 Response: No need to sound so degected.
• Hubert: I suspect those who wished to ask were simply too daunted to try. But thanks to their cowardice, I am gifted with this opportunity to speak with you. It's clear you have never felt at ease around me, as a result of how little trust there is between us. I should get back to the ball, regardless. I imagine there would be quite a scene if you turned out to be lying.
• Byleth: You don't believe me?
• Hubert: Trust is not in my nature. Good night.

As an Enemy

White Clouds Chapter 1: Three Houses

First Enemy Phase (Blue Lions)

• Edelgard: Ferdinand, Hubert. If the enemy comes, stop them.
• Ferdinand: Leave it to us, although I could do this on my own.
• Hubert: Heh. Clearly not, or Her Highness would not ask me to watch your back.

First Enemy Phase (Golden Deer)

• Ferdinand: I will fight on the front lines! I can stop the enemy's advance with grace.
• Hubert: Do you have Lady Edelgard's permission to-hmph. I suppose I've no choice but to provide cover.
• Edelgard: Thank you, Hubert. We are off to a terrible start.

Retreat Quote

• "Hmm. The new professor's rather strong. Suppose I'll have to call it a day."

White Clouds Chapter 12: To War

Battle Quote

• "What you fail to appreciate is that we have, at our backs, a force you cannot hope to defeat."

Vs. Byleth

• Hubert: Lady Edelgard held you in such high esteem. In the end, however, it seems you are nothing more than a slave to your goddess.

Vs. Black Eagles Member

• Hubert: Such a shame. There are people in the Empire you truly care about, too, aren't there? I wonder what will become of them.

Retreat Quote

• "I can afford to fall back. We still have the advantage."

Battle Quote

• "Brigid is a vassal of the Empire. You will not turn them against us!"

Vs Petra

• Hubert: So, Princess of Brigid. Now we see where your loyalties truly lie. This, after we spared your life in return for naught but your fealty. How ungrateful.
• Petra: Ten years have been passed. The Empire has been changed, just as Brigid has!

Vs Bernadetta

• Bernadetta: Ah! They're here! Help me!
• Hubert: Heheheh. Go on and scream, if it makes you feel better. But if you could die swiftly and without a struggle, I would greatly appreciate it.

Retreat Quote

• "Heh. No more I can do here. Troops, remember your orders. I must withdraw."

Paralogue: The Silver Maiden

Battle Quote

• "Arianrhod is a crucial asset to the Empire. You will not pry it from our grasp."

Vs Byleth

—Hubert's pre-battle quote against Byleth

Vs. Dimitri

• Dimitri: Hubert. I would tell you to get out of my way, but I highly doubt that you would abide.
• Hubert: Heh. Your silver tongue will do you no good here. This is not your path to tread.
• Dimitri: That is not your decision to make, nor is it mine. All I can do is blaze ahead!

Vs. Claude

• Claude: It's over, lapdog. Your military rule is at its end.
• Hubert: For every step you take along that path, our thorns will cut into your heels."
• Claude: Ooh, that sounds painful. I'll have to wear thicker soles for the march.
• Hubert: If your boots are too heavy, you won't be able to lift your feet. But enough prattle.

Vs. Ferdinand

• Hubert: Running into you in the capital like this-I have to say, it's almost sentimental.
• Ferdinand: Hubert. She must leave.
• Hubert: You really think you can make her?
• Ferdinand: It does not matter what I think. Those are my orders.
