The Darkest Light [Fire Emblem Fates]

Chapter 37

My parents had taken us to see Chrom. I won't lie, it was kinda nerve racking to see him. Even if he didn't seem like a prince, it'd be different seeing him all dressed up as one. He wasn't one for dressing up.

As we entered the throne room, his familiar figure smiled at us. He wasn't wearing the clothes I anticipated. No. It was more of what he generally wore when he lead the Ylissean army. Just a little more decked out. At least his choice in apparel wasn't gaudy.

"I never would've thought I'd see you three again. I'm glad you all are safe." He looked at us individually.

"Where could they have gone? Those fools." Leo muttered under his breath before turning to the knight. "Very well. Thank you. Dismissed."

The knight left. Midori watched through a small opening. "Father..."
