The Darkest Light [Fire Emblem Fates]

Chapter 22

~Effie~

"This is bad.....," I muttered to myself.

I prepared my lance in defense as more people surrounded is.

"Great! Lassy fainted!" Peri yelled.

"Arthur, pick him!" I ordered.

"For justice!" He replied, picking up Laslow and throwing him over his shoulders.

"Peri, we're leaving!"

"Who put you in charge!?"

"I don't see you helping!" I yelled back at her.

I turned around to face her, however, she pointed her lance at me.

"Maybe I should just kill you."

"Peri, put down the Lance."

"No! I'm tired of always following you around!" She yelled.

Before I could say anything, a rock hit her head.

"GO AWAY!"

Rocks suddenly hit us, as the citizens began throwing them at us.

"SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"

More yells came from the people.

"What is going on here!?"

A man and a women came out of the crowd. Peri lowered her lance and got off her horse. We all bowed.

"Prince Takumi, Princess Sakura, we-"

"Everyone go to your homes!" Takumi yelled. "We'll handle these retainers!"

One by one the people began to leave. I looked up at them.

"What are you two doing here? You should be in Hoshido," I told them.

"We came to talk to Lord Leo."

He crossed his arms.

"W-What happened here?" Lady Sakura asked, looking around. "T-There's blood everywhere!"

"It's my fault."

I looked over at Peri. She was looking away from us.

"I accidentally killed a woman and I threatened my partner, Laslow.....I will take any punishment."

She bowed her head.

"King Leo will deal with you."

He began walking away.

"I will tell him of this accident. Go back to your mission."

"G-Good luck!"

Sakura ran after her older brother. I stood up and put away my lance. Peri stood up and climbed onto her horse. We began walking again.

"Arthur, you've been quiet. What's wrong?"

I looked at over the blonde haired man.

"Prince Takumi and Princess Sakura were alone, correct."

He pushed Laslow up more so he wouldn't fall off.

"Yes. What about it?"

"Where were their retainers?"
