I know Ushiromiyas are stubborn, but you'd be surprised how many times I've broken Battler's stubborn streak. I don't think it's impossible. I think there has to be a way to do it without lying, though. It's not worth anything if it's a lie... the past is already the past, it has to stay that way, and no amount of hiding it or dressing it up to make it seem better can change that. If he lies to her about what happened, I'm not going to side with him. She has to move forward if it's going to be worth anything.

[ Yuri knew that better than anyone.

It sounds like what Evatrice is talking about just meant that what she'd "always wanted" wasn't what she'd really wanted at all, but Yuri decides not to speak on it. It's not really her place, as much as she's usually the first to butt her nose in on Ushiromiya issues. ]

Then give Battler a chance. I'm not saying she'll be perfectly happy when he's done and I'm not saying that I want him to lie to her, but I want to trust him enough that he'll at least give her a reason to try. Death doesn't always mean peace.
