Usually, Claude would be such a flirt and carelessly give many winks to other girls and guys.

He's grown bored of the same scenario with no one to fill the gap inside. Marianne would run away and pray to Seiros every time. Lorenz was a stuck up beauty freak that always wanted to give him more of I'm such a rich noble and you ain't anything even though a nice guy in heart, more of a self-absorbing weirdo from the outside. Leonie always focused to be the best she can be and never gave one second to his winks. Hilda... Well, you can say he thinks of her more as her lazy naive sister. Don't even bother with Lysithea! He's tired enough of dark spikes being shot thrown for one joke of being a cute baby. Ignatz? Hmm maybe...

Nah I think he's getting it from the big guy Raphael. Well, that's what the rumors say.

No, what he wants is someone interesting... Well, maybe a bit of a mystery as well.

Claude?

He wonders if he will have his wish granted. Claude??

Time will only tell or maybe it will come sooner than he expected...

CLAUDE!!!!!

Snapped from his thoughts and noticing his two friends fighting bandits with Edlegard smashing her axe with any enemy she can find and Dimitri in his princely charm slashing his lance with great posture and ability. "Claude! What on eart- Put that bow to good use and fight!" Dimitri screams out while trying to stay alive and avoid any throwing axes. Claude was still processing the situation as the training ground is full of enemies.

"Claude I will not let you or I die here! Shoot that damn bow!" Edelgard shouts with the archer finally getting his mind in the right place.

He fires his arrows at a quickening pace while keeping his usual grin as arrows fly to the enemies. 

The three students fight with every last breath while finally believing to be safe and thought the attack was done. "Did a nice job acting like a decoy right your highness and princ-" before he could finish his sentence, a shouting voice with the sound of a cold steel weapon started to charge at him. He notices his two friends with wide eyes and rushing to him as he has nothing but an iron bow to block this upcoming attack but that's not good enough to survive such a blow.

He can hear the footsteps come closer which leads this to happen in a matter of seconds. He hates to admit but he can't move from fear which has always had a toll on him in certain past memories.

Come on move! Don't defend!

MOVE!

He closes his eyes only to imagine if he does happen to live or not... He doesn't want to see the outcome in anyway. His eyes dimmer only so to catch a glimpse of dark shadow covering his entire body with his wide eyes seeing a person with mesmerizing blue hair and the touch of the soft cloak the person wore.

At that moment... His heartbeat felt something so fearful but calm and warm inside.

The fight concluded with a strange young man blocking the shocked student and saved his life from the bandit leader. The two other students came to see if their friend was alright and the entire time he could just stare without realizing at the man who saved his life. "Claude you could have been killed! What on the goddess we're you doing!" Dimitri exclaimed, worriedly as well as Edlegard probably too but all Claude can focus on was that mysterious man leaving his friends concerns to be muted from his mind.

"I can hear the bells... Well, don't you hear chime?" before he can continue with his lovesick phase. The two less intelligent for taste knocked him out of his thoughts and up to what happens to be Jeralt the Blade Breaker and the young mercenary once again as well as one of the knights of seiros Alois which looks that Jeralt ain't all the pleased to see him or any of the knights.
