Roses of May (Opera Omnia)

• Edgar: Heh... Even more beautiful today...
• Setzer: Quite right...beautiful enough to fly away with.
• Steiner: Graaagh! Do not harass Her Highness with your sleazy solicitations!
  

(Steiner arrives)

• Steiner: Wheeze... Blast it! A stubborn bunch you are!
• Edgar: You're far too riled up, Steiner. We were merely exchanging pleasantries.
• Garnet: Yes, you worry too much.
• Steiner: No, I think I do not!
• Steiner: It is one of a knight's finest responsibilities to protect the princess from indecent temptations!
• Setzer: "Indecent"? Tell us how you really feel...
• Steiner: Hrmmm, this world has more philanderers than I can bear!
• Steiner: ...What would Beatrix do in a time like this...?
• Edgar: Beatrix? Who might this be?
• Steiner: Like myself, a knight in service to the royal family of Alexandria.
• Steiner: If she were here, too, how my anxieties would be lessened...
• Garnet: But...if she did come to this world, I wonder...if she would defend us...
• Edgar: Isn't this person a knight in your service? Why should that be in question?
• Garnet: We were for a time enemies with her...
• Steiner: ...Beatrix acted according to Her Highness's mother the Queen's wishes while Her Majesty was not of sound mind...
• Setzer: ...I see. Depending on her memories, there's a chance she'd be turning her sword on us...
• Edgar: A fault of fealty, eh? Things are never simple for royalty.
• Steiner: There is no doubting her skill, though. In our world, she was the finest swordmaster on the continent.
• Steiner: If in this world she were being used by villains, why...
• Garnet: I know well the strength of her loyalty.
• Garnet: I have faith she wouldn't allow herself to be used that way...

• ???: Hah, how unwise...
• ???: I once killed a hundred knights single-handedly. You're hardly a threat!
• ???: ...Raaagh!
  

(Beatrix goes into battle)

• ???: Isn't there anyone who is worthy of facing me in this world?
  

(The Onion Knight and Bartz arrive)

• Onion Knight: Are you alright!?
• Bartz: ...Huh? Where're the monsters?
  

(Steiner and Garnet arrive)

• Steiner: Wha-wha—? Could it be!?
• Garnet: Beatrix!
• Beatrix: Your Highness! And Steiner!
• Beatrix: Your Highness, it is good to see you safe. I beg your pardon for having left your side.
• Garnet: I am glad to see you well, too.
• Steiner: You need not fear, for the princess has been in my care!
• Beatrix: Haha... As stalwart as ever, Steiner.
• Onion Knight: It doesn't look like you need to worry about her attacking us.
• Beatrix: Attack Her Highness? Why would I do such a thing?
• Bartz: We heard you were enemies before, so we were a little unsure.
• Beatrix: Is that so...? I suppose that could be.
• Beatrix: Forgive me for not introducing myself. I am Beatrix, a servant of the Kingdom of Alexandria.
• Beatrix: I was summoned here by a god, but upon learning Princess Garnet was here as well—
• Beatrix: —I made all haste to reunite with her. I am so relieved to have found you...
• Garnet: Beatrix...
• Bartz: ...So, uh, what happened to those monsters?
• Steiner: Erm, I do not think it bears asking.
• Onion Knight: Did you beat all of them by yourself!?
• Beatrix: Heh, exterminating such beasts couldn't have been simpler.
• Steiner: What did I tell you? The continent's finest!
• Beatrix: Even should this be some other world, it is my duty to defend the princess.
• Beatrix: My allegiance to you is as ever—no, greater than ever before.
• Steiner: Well said! Here is a true and honorable knight of Alexandria!
• Steiner: Let us do all in our power to keep Her Highness from harm!
• Garnet: Thank you, both of you... I am ever in your care.
• Beatrix: Yes, Your Highness!

• Beatrix: Out of my way...
• Beatrix: Hah!
  

(Beatrix defeats the Red Dragon with Thunder Slash)

• Sabin: Talk about skill! Man, am I impressed.
• Edgar: Indeed. She is as lovely as a rose itself...
• Edgar: But her swordsmanship is second to none in this world.
• Steiner: Hear, hear! Go on!
• Zidane: ...What're you so pleased about?
• Zidane: Beatrix beat us black and blue before, too.
• Vivi: Y-yeah... She was really strong.
• Vanille: Oh, yeah. You guys were enemies before.
• Beatrix: About that...
• Vanille: Ah! I'm sorry! I stepped in it, huh?
• Zidane: All water under the bridge. She had her own business to deal with.
• Beatrix: I wonder if it's fair to sum that up as simply business.
• Beatrix: Even to say it was under orders, my deeds cannot be undone...
• Sabin: I don't know what happened, but it sounds like you regret it.
• Edgar: Your actions were out of loyalty to your country, no?
• Sabin: And you've since repented and are helping out Zidane and the others, right?
• Beatrix: I took the lives of many, many people...
• Beatrix: No matter how I repent, it won't bring them back.
• Steiner: ...It is as she says.
• Vivi: M-Mister...
• Steiner: Her past sins will not disappear...
• Steiner: But she can atone for them.
• Steiner: I've made many comrades in this world... They've all had their own troubles, and they've conquered them.
• Steiner: There is nothing they can do that Beatrix cannot!
• Beatrix: Steiner...
• Beatrix: Th-thank you.
• Vanille: Right. And yesterday's enemy is today's friend and all that.
• Vanille: You've already been a big help to us! Thanks, Beatrix!
• Beatrix: I should be the one to thank you, for here I can lend you my strength without being ordered to.
• Sabin: Feel free to keep doing so!
• Beatrix: You can trust in me. I shall defend Her Highness and my comrades unto death.
• Beatrix: Save the Queen and I swear it!
