Day 270 - Melady, Fire Emblem Binding Blade

FE: Should they kiss?

Melady x Lucia

And then comes Zeiss. Hoo boy. He gets framed for something he didn’t do, and then finds out Melady defected. He then proceeds to call her a traitor, and then Melady gets super heated about him calling Guinivere an obstinate princess (in his words, not mine). Zeiss is the most skeptical one out of the bunch (and for good reason). Also, these two have an underrated sibling dynamic. One is blindingly loyal to Guinivere, while one needs to see that conviction in order to trust her. There’s angst potential between them (we’ll get to that later). Leaving behind someone. I’m sensing a pattern here.

Fast forward to post-canon. Guinivere becomes queen, her retainers become Wyvern Generals (or that’s what I like to think), yadda yadda. At this point, everyone is branded a traitor. There’s definitely lots of people that hate them for betraying Bern only to come back and act like they’ve always been loyal.

Let’s consider the possibility that everything goes downhill for Guinivere. Considering her family’s track record, it’s… 😬. Probably had a major crash out as well. All the more reason to hate her if you’re her biggest hater in Bern. You know who’s her biggest fan? Melady! Which is a good thing… and bad thing.

At this point, Melady is Guinivere’s lapdog. She’d do anything and everything in her name. Zeiss on the other hand? He’d be absolutely furious at those two. Guinivere for going back on her word and making Melady turn out like that, and Melady for doing whatever horrible thing Guinivere ordered her to do. Elen gets caught in the crossfire too and the siblings force her to pick a side.

I’d say there’s a 50/50 chance she sides with either of them. If she sides with Melady, there’s potential of Elen worshipping Guinivere like she’s a goddess, considering that Elen is aligned with the St. Elimine Church. Faith and loyalty kind of thing going on with her and Melady respectively. On the other hand, if she sides with Zeiss, there’s potential of her being a priestess with shattered beliefs about Guinivere. Also she feels that Zeiss would need some help taking her down considering they’re childhood friends. Two wyvern riders and one healer, who needs it the most?

You know how Guinivere thought she could convince Zephiel to stop the war? This is Zeiss’s version of that, only except of him convincing Melady to switch sides he straight up says he’s her enemy now. He would probably go even further and denounce their sibling relationship. “What. Sister?” type of thing. That support conversation where he wants to get stronger to protect Melady? Yep, that’s thrown out the window when Melady reveals her true colors. And now he has to use that strength to kill her. The potential sibling angst with opposing beliefs is off the charts I fear. I guess Bernese siblings are just like that.

I didn’t think it would get this long and feel super fanficcy lol, I like these four a lot. TLDR they’d be much more interesting (and have more fans outside of gameplay) if they were like Elincia and her retainers but more fucked up.

Remember, it's not who you like the most. It's who is the most fuckable
