Ok so to sum up what's going on is that your not really the tactician or whatever you're a princess of Ylisse and Stahl is your personal guard.

A/n I'm trying to make it sound like how they speak in the game. Kinda old englishy
------------------------------

It's been a long time since then. You think to yourself while staring out onto the homes surrounding the castle in which you live in. Why must I have to go back? I do not wish to!

I'm being selfish. This isn't a way a princess should behave. A knock at the door interrupts your thoughts.

"Excuse me, Princess _____, are you feeling unwell?" It was your personal guard, a handsome gentleman named Stahl. You couldn't help but lose your composure around him and blush. You hope he hasn't noticed it, it would not be proper for you to be with him. Perhaps before all that has happened, but now....

"Princess, I'm concerned for your health! Please, tell me what the matter is. If you feel sick I would be more than happy to help you. My father is in apothecary and I know the trade well." He sounds pleading. You open the door to see him. Jeez... just seeing his face makes you feel horrible. You can't take it anymore you fall to your knees and weep.

"My lady!"

"It's so unfair!"

"Huh?"

"I don't want to do this. I can't! How dare they do this to me? I've been here as long as everyone else! I don't want to be sent to that," you begin to start almost screaming, "to that HELL!! They cannot force me to go back! I refuse to be sold off! I will not. I wil-" You stop because you realize your blurting out a secret that only you, Prince Chrom, Princess Lissa, and Her Majesty Emmeryn knew. Well... your father knew as well.

"Princess..."

"My apologies. Please, tell Her Highness I will be skipping dinner. I would like to spend some time in my room." You turn without closing the door thinking that Stahl wouldn't enter.

"I know it's not my place to be intruding; however, it pains me to see you behaving in such a matter. Recently you've been so very distraught I have become extremely concerned for you. Please, tell me what is the matter. Even if you cannot tell me the whole truth I want to at least take some burden off of you." He said while stepping into your chamber and closing the door behind him. You remained silent for quite a bit until you decide to reveal to him everything.

"Do you remember when Prince Chrom found me?" You say speaking of the first memory you actually had. You were 10 years old and Prince Chrom and Princess Lissa found you in a field without any memories.

"Yes, I do remember. You were found with amnesia and you knew Chrom's name although you lost your own memory. You had the Ylissiean royal mark on the skin directly above your heart despite none of the royals remembering you." It was true you did have the brand on your chest so naturally you assumed the others were siblings however...

"That was my first memory. I remember nothing before then. When I came to the castle it took me awhile to adjust. I stopped dwelling on what happened before they found me, but it seems that past has caught up to me," you pause for a second, not sure how he will respond to this, "I'm a fraud. My brand... it was something burned upon my skin and I have no connection to Ylisse. I am a princess. I'm the daughter of the King Validar of Plegia. I'm an enemy of the state." your voice trembles and you fear turning and seeing Stahl's face. He must think me a monster.

"King Validar wants me to return to Ple- home. Her Majesty Emmeryn does not want me to go. The state, however, sees this as an opportunity for peace between Ylisse and Plegia. I am to marry a duke from Plegia as a representative of Ylisse." You sigh finishing the sentence. You still refuse to turn around. He doesn't know how much I care for him. How his smile brightens my day. How he always makes me laugh. I should tell him. Or is that selfish?

"Stahl. I want to tell you this." You turn around and he's standing there, tears streaming down his face. "Stahl!"

"I'm sorry. It's a lot to take in, please continue." He says walking up to you.

"I wanted to say that... I... well... gods! I care so much for you Stahl! You've stolen my heart and I want to spend more time with you. That is, if you feel the same." You suddenly feel his arms wrap around you from behind.

"Oh milady... you have no clue how much you mean to me. I feel the same way towards you. I love you. I refuse to let you be taken from me!"

"Stahl. Run away with me," You turn around grabbing his arms, "we can leave the castle, live out in the country, have a low profile!"

"We have to be careful."

"I know. Stahl? Do you trust me?"

"Of course. We'll get you out of this. Together."

"Yeah. Together."
