Chronicles of Fates

Nohr Scene 1

Siegbert couldn't belive the sight before him.

His mother was headless and bleeding into the ground in the dead center of the room and his aunt Elise was off to the side with a giant stab wound in her chest, seeping blood onto her clothed that were, in fact, made by his cousin.

He felt helpless and he went pale. Paler than someone who sees Velouria's treasures for the first time. He fell to his knees and tears just decided to pour out of his eyes. A fountain of tears just began pouring as if a dam had been breached.

Xander, who was standing right next to his son when this happened, caught Into the back of the assasin's head. Light blue braids and a small body. He couldn't see the clothes but he could see the flash of her hair. That's it.

Xander was filled with rage. He was blind with white hit anger coursing through his veins. He ran to the window and threw whatever was in his hands out, hoping to hit the Assasin. She was gone. Just gone. No trace of her in sight.

Xander stumbled backwards with a Sensei of hopelessness. His thoughts scrambled inside his brain. His beloved wife and little sister were both dead. They were dead and he couldn't protect them. He was too late. She should have listened to Forrest's retainer when she said something felt amiss.

Siegbert looked uo at his father who came crashing down. He landed on his backside and he justness stared at the wall. The most intimidating and the strongest man known to be alive started crying. Yes, the Xander who is the king of Nohr began crying. 

Siegbert didn't know what to do. He just held the corpse of Elise in his arms as of cradling her would bring her back to life. He held her as if his tears would fall upon her and cure her of death like in romance fantasy novels. He held her because he didn't want to let her go.

Camilla was walking by when she peeked into the room room Nd saw blood staining the floors and walls. She saw her beloved little sister and sister in law dead, though Charlotte was almost beyond recognition. Camilla's face twisted into rage. It almost looked ugly on the ever beautiful princess.

"Who did this?"

Her voice was a deep and low growl. Camilla's retainers, who knew what she was like when upset, finally found her and saw her with the same scowl she had when Corrin decided to not choose a side.

"Lady Camilla calm do-"

Selena stopped talking when she saw then horroble sight herself. Her mouth went Agape as Camilla's other retainer walked by. She analyses the scene with a straight face, but even she couldn't keep her normal face from forming into a frown.

"Camilla, I don't know. She had twin braids and was gone before I could see her. I wasn't...I wasn't fast enough..."

Xander looked down, weakness showing in the King for the first time since his early childhood. Camilla's eyes searched the room like a hawk. She caught onto Siegbert who was holding Elise and crying. 

Beruka stepped foward and found a silver knife on the floor. It was a Hoshidan branded knife. Hoshido didn't normally have knives as weapons but they do get imports from places like Nestra and Notre Stragasse. She picked it up.

"Hoshidans."

Beruka spat out. Everyone turned to her with expressions conveying mixed emotions. A jumble of things Beruka had never felt once in her life with a conscious memory. She turned the knife to the underside providing a Hoshidan logo visable to the eye. Everyone in the room gasped and Xander told up. 

The White hit anger boiled in his blood. His fists clenched at his sides. Those Hoshidans. They took away his sister and his wife. He thought they were on good terms but apparently not. Camilla looked down with conflict in her brain. Siegbert couldn't belive anything that was happening. It was a dream, right? He looked back at Selena who was having an identical reaction to the scenario. Beruka was Further inspecting the knife.

"Silver blade and a handle made out of Nestrian Wood. An Import from Nestra to Hoshido. Probably sold to some ninja."

Siegbert looked back to his father as he punched the wall, breaking it and leaving a large hole. He looked at his hand. Small rubble and dust was on it. Camilla and Selena backed uo a step or two. Siegbert was still frozen while Beruka remained unfazed.

"Hoshidan Ninjas....they murdered her....they'll pay for this.... Camilla! Spread the word around Nohr! We will not stand for this offense!"

Camilla nodded with Vengance in her eyes. She and her retainers ran out of the room to inform the kingdom of this tragedy. Xander glanced over to the window. Siegbert's heartbeat steadying once more and he grew calmer. Xander spoke aloud to him.

"It's a shame you have to deal with another war. But if they went to these lengths...then I fear there is no choice."

Siegbert looked down at the dead Elise with a permanent frightened face. If the Hoshidans wanted to break their truce by killing the Nohrian royals, then so be it. Siegbert nodded in agreement to his father and stood up. Elise's blood stained on his clothes.
