[Edelgard breathes, then, preparing to try to word this as elegantly as possible.]
I owe you an apology, first and foremost, for fleeing from you a few nights ago; I'm afraid that I was taken by surprise when you spoke some very particular words to me, and I am afraid that I reacted in a manner most inappropriate. For that, I apologize.
[She imagines he'll catch her drift easily; she finally did realize that he was her soulmate, after all, and he deserves to know.]
...But it's for that reason that I need to speak to you about something incredibly important.
[Edelgard's expression goes gravely serious, and then she speaks again.]
I intend to change the world that we live in. I intend to take the throne as the Empress of Adrestia, and with it, I intend to challenge the values that Fódlan has held onto for millenia. The world has grown stagnant due to it's reliance on crests and nobility, and I refuse to let that stand for a moment longer.
But in order for such a thing to happen...I intend wage war, to conquer all of Fódlan.
[...JESUS CHRIST, EDELGARD?
Her words are very intense, though; she very clearly believes in everything she's saying, and it's as if there's a fire burning inside of her. It's one that'll consume the world at large, if what she's saying comes to pass.]
