Sunday 1, Garland Moon.

Y/N and Byleth have been called to the audience chamber once again where Rhea and Seteth were waiting for them. It's time for their monthly mission.

Rhea:"Professors, I have a new mission for your students."

Seteth:"We have recieved reports that Lord Lonato has rallied troops against the Holy Church of Seiros."

Y/N:"I never had the pleasure to meet him. Who's this 'Lonato'?"

Rhea:"Lord Lonato is a minor lord of the Kingdom. He has been showing hostility towards the church for some time now."

Seteth:"A vanguard unit from the Knights of Seiros is already on its way to his stronghold, Castle Gaspard. Lord Lonato's army is nothing compared to the Knights. It is quite possible the rebellion has already been supressed."

Rhea:"Even so, I would like for your class to travel with the knights' rear guard to deal with the aftermath."

Seteth:"War zones are unpredictable. We do not expect you will have cause to battle, but be prepared for the worst."

Before Y/N could respond, someone entered the audience chamber.

???:"Excuse me. You sent for me, Lady Rhea?"

Y/N and Byleth turned around to see a woman of around his mid twenties walking towards them. She glanced at Byleth and Y/N with a smile and quickly looked at Rhea, waiting for her to speak.

Rhea:"This is Catherine. She will be leading the knights whom you will be accompanying."

Catherine:"Nice to meet you. We've heard a lot about you. If you need anything, just ask."

Y/N:"The pleasure is all mine. The fabled Thunderbrand. I'd hope to spar with you whenever you're available."

Catherine:"I like your attitude. I accept the challenge."

Rhea:"She is one of our greatest knights and that is no small feat. Only an exceptional few have what it takes to join the Knights of Seiros. This mission should prove useful to demonstrating to the students how foolish it would be to ever turn their blades to the church..."

Y/N blinked a couple of times, taken by surprise by such statement. He thought this mission would be used as a way to further train the students not throw a subtle threat.

Y/N:"Right. If that is all I'd like to leave. There is much I have yet to do."

Rhea:"Of course. You are dismissed."

Y/N and Byleth nodded and left the chamber.

Byleth:"Did you notice it?"

Y/N:"What exactly?"
