Frederick: Cynthia! Are you all right!? Please be sure to stay by my side!
Cynthia: Eh!? D-dad...!?
Frederick: No — to be accurate, I am not your real father. I am someone who came from another world to save you... that is to say, to you, I am a human from a different world.
Cynthia: A-a human from different world!?
Frederick: Yes... so it might be a little presumptuous of me to call you my daughter. However, Cynthia... is Cynthia. I may be restricted in terms of the time I have, but please allow me to protect you as my daughter!
Cynthia: !! Really? Thank you, dad...! Ah... b-but...
Frederick: What is it?
Cynthia: Even if you might be a different person... I'm just thinking about how I only showed you how uncool I was... hey, dad. I know I look really pitiful in this state right now, with no weapons and all, but... really, I can fight even without being protected. I can fight by myself. We all lost our fathers, after all... that's how we all hung in there. That's why... I just wanted to let you know that.
Frederick: ... yes. I understand. Even if you don't have a weapon, I can see it in those eyes of yours — you have experienced many painful battles. So in that case, rather than protecting you... would you allow me to be by your side and assist a full-fledged hero such as yourself? I am a knight — during times like these, please let me fight for you as my master.
Cynthia: ... thank you. "A full-fledged hero"... you saying that makes me really happy...! In that case, I'm counting on you, dad... or rather... my knight, Frederick!
Frederick: Acknowledged!
