Byleth sighed, "Well that's so unfortunate you were defeated so easily. You are all nothing more but pathetic..." Rafal smiled at Byleth while they saw Alfred slowly getting up. He was injured terribly and thankfully was alive.

Alfred grunted, "You haven't gotten me yet..."

"What the..." Byleth turned over and saw Alfred getting ready to fight. Celine came walking over and the two got ready to fight Byleth and Rafal.

Celine asked, "Are you okay Alfred?"

"I'm doing alright, but I don't think Alerius is doing well..." Alfred replied. Celine looked down at Alerius and back at the two. Byleth took out his sword and got prepared to attack them.

Byleth laughed, "This shall be fun to do... you are all nothing more but weaklings. You may have survived that attack Alfred but that's nothing compared to what I'm going to do to you..."

"You're bold aren't you?"

"I just do what's best for me, I want my hands on the scrolls and you will like it or not... you're nothing more than useless and I will destroy you..." Byleth giggled. Swirls filled his eyes as he got prepared to attack. Celine and Alfred got themselves ready to defend as Rafal got ready to attack as well.

Celine whispered, "Whatever ends up happening... we do not let him get anywhere near the books..." Then the two dashed at the two. Celine jumped back and shot fire at them while Alfred swung his lance. The two fell backward as Byleth got ready to attack again.

Alfred wondered, "What's with the strange black swirls within his eyes?"

"I don't know what they are but they appear to be nothing more but trouble..." Celine replied. Byleth then jumped into the air and swung his sword at them. They barely dodged the attack while Rafal dashed in and slammed his axe against Celine. She fell backward onto the ground next to Alerius.

Alfred shouted, "CELINE! YOU NEED TO GET TO SAFETY NOW!"

"BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?!"

"I NEED TO DEFEND THIS KINGDOM FROM THESE INSANE PEOPLE! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!" Celine looked at Alfred and nodded. She grabbed Alerius and dashed into the library. Bordering up the library with as much as possible.

Byleth laughed, "You really want to fight us on your own? You're very bold to do this. Especially since you're now the King of Firene. How very sad to see you pass away so soon..."

"I won't be passing away anytime soon, instead I want to make sure I protect my people. I will do everything in my power to make sure you all leave..." Byleth smiled at him and immediately wrapped his sword around Alfred.

Byleth giggled, "Whoops! Looks like I caught you off guard! I guess you're going to have to pay the cost and perish..."

"W-What the?! GODS!" Alfred tried to pull himself out but Byleth only tightened the grip on Alfred. Byleth stared at him with insanity in his eyes. Making Alfred more and more afraid of even looking at him. Byleth was just insane in the head.

Rafal sighed, "Go ahead and kill him already. Then we can deal with his younger sister..."

"I have a far better idea, instead of killing him I will use this..." Byleth then took out a syringe. Rafal looked at him in confusion as Byleth got more and more ready to use it.

Alfred thought, "Okay... this isn't turning out good for me... what do I do?! What is that in his hands even?!" Alfred looked around as Byleth got ready to use the syringe on him. Luckily Celine came to the rescue and shot a spell at Byleth. Alfred broke free and grabbed his lance.

Byleth said, "Take this Rafal. Once you get your hands on Alfred or Celine, I need you to stab them with the syringe."

Rafal laughed, "I see now... I'll do just that then..." The two started to panic and got ready to head into the library again. Then they dashed into the library and blocked the doors. The two continued trying to break down the barrier in the way.

"Nonono... oh no..." Alfred whispered. Celine went over and went to heal Alerius. Alfred got in front of the two and was ready to defend. Meanwhile, the villains got rid of all the soldiers but they refused to move from the area and instead came up with an idea.

Marth sighed, "If we need to get out of the hands of Byleth and Rafal. We need to find a way to juke them..."

"We wait till they have us either attack the heroes or have us go on an expedition. We leave and then never return back from the events," Eirika suggested.

Ephraim questioned, "Wouldn't that mean that they would assume the heroes found a way to kill us and Byleth would be more pressed at the heroes?"

"I guess you make a good point... I didn't really think it through," Eirika sighed.

Ike said, "Whatever we're thinking of, it has to be fast before the two come back with the scrolls." The group nodded as the barrier to the library came down.

"IT'S OVER KING OF FIRENE! HAND OVER THE SCROLLS OR BE STABBED!" Byleth ordered.

Alfred yelled, "I WILL NEVER GIVE UP OUR SCROLLS! WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN!" Then Byleth tackled Alfred onto the ground. Byleth smiled down at him and got prepared to stab him.

Byleth laughed, "If you won't give us the scrolls I suppose I have no choice..."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Say hello to despair for me..."
