The Exalted Princess and the 12 Heroes

Finished my first awakening run ever so to celebrate, some edits of my versions of the 2nd gen! ft. bonus unmasked gerome

Sparks crackled by the campfire, and the only shadows that were casted were those of you and your family. You had your head rested on the knight’s lap, your mind slipping in and out of reality as sleep tried to take you, and Frederick looked into the fire with a fond smile, one that was always present no matter how large the flames were. Morgan looked into it with the same fascination, a blanket snugly wrapped around his body, and his large eyes suddenly blinked in realization. Looking at his father, his face scrunched in thought at his next words.

“Hey father… may I ask you something?”

The boy was always a polite one, and Frederick smiled in encouragement. “You may ask me anything, Morgan,” he said.

“How did you and mother meet?”

Memories rushed to his mind and the smile grew on the knight. He looked at you, his fingers brushing through your hair, and little did he knew that you tried to be conscious for his answer. 

“I first met ____ with Chrom, which was also on the day she joined the army. I had my suspicions of her, but her tactical brilliance proved to be a valuable service for the Shepherds. She lead many battles to victory, many of them where I was by her side, and I was always grateful to watch over her as she would also protect me.”

The fire shined the young tactician’s brown hair and he grinned. “I see, but… how did you fall in love with her?”

Another pause, another smile, and the knight breathed out a happy sigh. “I caught her sleeping with her face against the scrolls that were meant to have whatever strategies she had in mind for discussion. It was a sight I would often see when I checked on her, but on that time, I noticed something when I tucked her in her bedroll. On the scroll was my name, a little note that was meant to be a reminder for her, and it said that she will always protect me no matter what…” he paused to braid your hair, almost absentmindedly as he gazed at your relaxed face. “And that was when I realized that I will also do the same… protect her no matter what, because that was how much I loved her.”
