Shirou POV
After the battle at Breakneck Pass, we continued on our way until we made it to Regena Ferox; We were now in the Khans' Palace.
Lissa: B-but she's safe inside the castle, right? Phila & the others will protect her! & Khan Flavia is assembling her best troops as we speak. We'll make it back home in time. I know we will!
Chrom: ......
Lissa: Chrom? Say something! Say, "Yes, of course we will!"
Chrom: ...I'm sorry, Lissa. What?
Lissa: Ugh, fine! Never mind! Let me know when you get out of your own head for a second!
Chrom: ......
*Sumia approaches Chrom*
Sumia: Snap out of it, Captain!
*She punches Chrom; Flavia enters*
Chrom: OW! ...What the hell was that for?!
Sumia: Oh no! ...Did I do it wrong? Captain Phila said sometimes a good slap will break someone out of their doldrums.
Lissa: Sumia, when you slap someone, you do it with an open palm. You just punched Chrom in the face!
Sumia: Um... It's the thought that counts?
Chrom: Gods, that seriously hurt...
Flavia: Ha ha! What's wrong, my dear prince? Sometimes love hurts! You're lucky to have strong women like these, & not just dainty flowers about. In any case, I bring good news. The Feroxi army has finally mobilized. Every last man is itching to fight. I must say, I'm looking forward to savoring a skirmish or two myself.
Chrom: ...Wait. You're coming along?
Flavia: Of course! A khan must have her fun. I'm even bringing my insignificant other.
Robin: Your who?
Shirou: Basilio, right?
Flavia: Yup. The oaf isn't good for much, but he might stop a few stray arrows.
*Basilio runs in panicked*
Basilio: Chrom! Good gods, I've been looking for you everywhere!
Chrom: Is something wrong?
Basilio: Our scouts have reported back. Dark news, I'm afraid... Ylisstol...has fallen.
Chrom: What?!
Basilio: The Plegians captured your exalt & retreated back across their lines. Gangrel has declared she's to be publicly executed within the moon.
Chrom: E-executed?!
Lissa: Ooooh...
*Lissa faints into Shirou's arms*
Shirou: Lissa? Lissa!
Flavia: The dastard's not even trying to be subtle anymore.
Artoria: I agree. It's an obvious trap.
Basilio: The Mad King knew our scouts would relay this information back. It's clearly a provocation—a hot brand to the buttocks! We should consider our options carefully before jumping to any—
Chrom: Shepherds! We march to Plegia!
Basilio: *Ahem* Well, that would be ONE option, yes... But perhaps we've seen enough royalty waltzing into traps for one war already, eh?
Chrom: I don't care if it's a trap, Basilio. He's going to murder my sister!
Flavia: Peace, Chrom. Breathe a moment. No one's suggesting we don't act. We're simply saying we should act WISELY. We'll need guts AND wits in equal measure if we're to save your sister.
