Hey everybody, it's CookieCreamXP. This prologue is pretty vague, talking about somebody you don't know, but it'll make more sense and connect better with the next chapter. Enjoy and of course, review with love!!
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE READING:
This story is set before Ike disappears and falls off the planet, so it's not really canon.
The story will be dark in the beginning chapters, to give warning.
Summary: After defeating Ashera, Elincia hoped peace had arrived. Unfortunately, Duke Ludveck of Felirae's son is thirsty for revenge. Crimea faces rebellion again, this time with a higher chance of defeat. One thing stops the Greil Mercenaries from helping Crimea: Mist is helping Ludveck's son. But why? Doesn't she like Elincia?
Prologue
He used to love the queen of Crimea. The beautiful, green-haired Elincia was very deserving of her crown, he thought. The young boy dreamed of signing up at a Crimean Royal Knight in order to serve and get closer to the queen. On certain airy nights, the boy would even consider asking Queen Elincia for her hand in marriage. He was jealous of the blue-haired general, Sir Geoffrey, who got to spend so much time by the queen's side.
His father, however, didn't share the same fondness. His father, Duke Ludveck of Felirae, thought she was too soft with her rule and sought to remove her and become the next Crimean king. While the boy didn't want his father's dream to disappear, he also hoped his father would let Elincia remain as a noble or at the very least let her live. His life revolved around the gentle queen.
When his father left for the capital of Crimea to begin his rebellion, his son stayed at home, hoping for both sides to succeed. He didn't want his father to die but he also hoped Elincia would survive as well.
After a day, he heard Queen Elincia had stopped the rebellion. Joy that she was safe filled the son's heart, but he also expected her to release he father so that he could return home as soon as possible. His mother was not feeling well and he was worried.
His naïve smile faltered when Queen Elincia had announced that any rebels participating with Ludveck would be executed. Surely his father would be released, considering his status. Surely Elincia wouldn't be that cold…
Shnink! That was a sound of many things for the boy. It was the sound made when the axe lowered onto Ludveck's head, the sound of Elincia's crushing rule, the sound of the boy's heart breaking apart in horror, and the sound of a new darkness filling the destroyed heart.
He was deceived, partly from his childish thoughts, partly from Elincia's cursed, fake innocence. Queen Elincia had killed his father, and the shock had, in turn, killed Ludveck's wife. He was alone, all alone. His life had been cruelly dashed on that fateful day.
A year later, the boy's eyes now shone with a different light for Elincia. They were full of hatred and revenge. Elincia would pay for destroying his family—he would make sure of that.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
My, it's shorter than expected and darker than I'd usually like but oh well. Hope you enjoy this story. The next chapter will contain your usual characters (Ike, Mist, the lot you love). READ AND REVIEW EVERYBODY!! Thanks!
