Hello everyone! Welcome to my first fic: Corrin's New Maids!

I've been playing Fates for about 8 months and cleared all 3 routes at least on normal.

I kinda got the characterization down on almost everyone except for the children characters. Gotta work on that. I loved Corrin and Felicia's personality so much I decided to do a fic about them. I also decided to add Flora to the story as a main character as well.

As I stated in my profile, I'm not good at writing so go easy on me with trying to work out little details and characterization. Also this will mostly be dialogue so just a little heads up.

Chapter 1 – First Impressions

It was the first day on the job for Felicia and Flora as Lord Corrin's maids and retainers. Before they were sent to the Northern Fortress, they practiced common household things a maid should perform in the Ice Tribe Village. Flora was able to complete these tasks with no problem in a professional and timely manner. Felicia on the other hand… well she was a klutz when it came to these things. Dishes broken, meals burnt, and laundry that got dirty when she handled it. The only thing she excelled at was combat training. When it came to fighting, Felicia had a gift for using a dagger. It seemed hope was still there when it came to protecting her master; however she did want to get better at being a good maid.

When they finally arrived at the Northern Fortress, they were greeted at the entrance with King Garon, Gunter, and Jakob. It seemed gloomy than what Felicia imagined it to be. Maybe it was the never ending darkness that added an eerie feeling to the location that shivered up her spine. Nevertheless she had to keep it inside without freaking out. The last thing she wanted was making a fool out of herself.

"Kilma, are these the two women that are to be charged with protecting my son?" question Garon as he gave piercing glare at Felicia.

"Yes, these are my own daughters of course. I'm sure they more than qualified when it comes to serving and protecting Lord Corrin. Why don't you two introduce yourselves?"

With a nod, Flora took her first step forward, bowed her head, and said "Greetings, my name is Flora. I'm the first born of my father Kilma. I'll be happy to assist in anything that needs to be done in order to serve Lord Corrin to the best of my ability."

She stepped back and allowed Felicia to take her turn greeting them. "Um, hello… I'm Felicia. I'd be happy to help and protect Lord Corrin in any situation. I hope not to be a burden on anyone. Hehe…" She bowed her head in respect and stepped back. Jakob could feel that she was going to be a burden. Hopefully she would be able to complete simple tasks for the young master.

King Garon felt that these two would be useful in protecting his son for the time being. "Very well… Gunter. Make sure these two are settled in. I've got matters that need to be addressed for the war against Hoshido." Garon left the Fortress and returned to Castle Krakenburg.

Gunter nodded and faced the twin sisters. "Understood. Flora, Felicia follow me inside. It's time for you two to meet your master." Gunter and Jakob stepped inside the fortress while Felicia and Flora gave their deepest farewells to their father.

"Now remember to behave yourselves while you're staying here. I want you to be in good terms with the young prince so that the Ice Tribe may continue to thrive. I'll never forgive myself if anything were to happen both you and the village." Kilma spoke as he placed his left hand on Flora's shoulder and right hand on Felicia's shoulder.

"You can count on me! I'll be sure to make Lord Corrin happy. I just hope that I don't mess up any of the chores I used to do back in the village." Felicia spoke as she wondered what the prince looked like. Hopefully he was a kind person that was able to see past her mistakes and clumsiness. Flora looked at her sister noticing that she was belittling herself and spoke up.

"Felicia, worry not. I'm sure that the master is a very kind and heartwarming person. Just be confident and believe in yourself when you do your duty as a maid. We've been practicing this for several months to prepare ourselves. Don't let those negative thoughts cripple your resolve."

It was that moment Flora's words of encouragement gave Felicia a ray of hope in her heart. "OK Flora. We can do this together!"

Flora nodded her head in acknowledgement. "Let's go. We cannot keep them waiting forever."

Kilma stepped a few feet back and smiled, "Good-Bye Flora… Felicia… I'll be praying that the gods may watch over you during your time here."

With Kilma heading back to the village, the twin-sisters decided to head inside the fortress. It appeared to be more spacious than either of them imagined. Several stairs and rooms were within view as they continued to walk inside the lobby of the fortress. It seemed they might have a hard time making their way around the area without a tour guide or a map. Just as Felicia was about to ask where Gunter was she spotted him walking beside a young boy in silver and black armor.

He was around the same height as her and she noticed that he had white and silver hair, red eyes, and a calm demeanor. She also noticed that he walked without wearing footwear. She giggled at the sight of him and Flora noticed that her sister had taking an immediate liking to him. Let's hope he was a kind and caring person for them.

"Felicia, Flora, I'd like you to meet the young master who you'll be caring for. Please introduce yourself milord." Corrin stepped forward, bowed his head, and spoke "Hello. My name is Corrin, and I'm so happy to meet both of you. I hope that you'll take care of me." With that he stepped back and noticed Gunter had an amused look on his face.

"Milord it's very unnatural for a lord to bow to his servants."

Corrin looked at him with a happy expression and waved him off. "Oh don't worry Gunter. Father isn't even here so relax OK?"

Flora smiled as well as Felicia. "I believe Gunter is right Corrin. It's very unusual for a master to do that. In any case, my name is Flora. I'll be serving as one of your retainers while I'm here. If you have anything you need to be done, it shall be. Please know that I can perform any type of chore without any impediments… You have a comforting fortress around here by the way."

Corrin laughed as he gave a comforting smile. "Yes it is comforting. I may call it a prison at times since I never have the privilege to leave this place. Nevertheless I had some ways to ease the boredom. Arts and crafts, swordplay, reading just to name a few. I get some visits from my siblings from time to time though they don't stay very often. It's nice to see new friendly faces around here, so I can't help but smile."

Felicia began questioning in her mind why he couldn't leave the Northern Fortress at all. He had a kind and noble heart that wouldn't have the audacity to hurt anyone. What were his siblings like? Were they as mean and cold-hearted like his father? Was his father so over-protective of keeping him sealed from civilization? Then again even she didn't see what the world was like either. She and Corrin had something in common they could talk about. She was lost in thought for a while that she didn't notice Corrin waving his hand in front of her face.

"Um… Hello? You OK?" Corrin asked with a worried look. Felicia blinked twice and shook her head and with pink tint to her cheeks as she sheepishly replied "Oh m-milord! Um… I'm fine. I was just thinking about something is all! D-Don't worry it's nothing important." Corrin looked at her with a grin. It was cute to see her like that. Maybe he might be able to make a new friend that he could spend time with.

Corrin stretched his hand to her which she gladly accepted and shook it. "My name's Corrin. I didn't know if you caught that or not." She nodded her head yes. "What's your name?"

Felicia looked down, inhaled, and exhaled her breath. "My name is Felicia. It's very nice to meet you Corrin. I'm not strong in the maid department as my sister due to my clumsiness… but I'll do my best to serve and protect you as best as I can! I'll walk beside you every step of the way without any doubts...ha-ha…"

Corrin examined her and noticed that she had a sweet/awkward personality. He was sure to make her his friend and vice-versa.

"Hmm… It's a pleasure to meet you to Felicia. Know that if you ever need a person to talk to just come and find me. I'll be there to lend a hand when you need it." Corrin looked to Flora as he smiled. "You too Flora. I don't like to see my retainers when they are in need of help."

Flora nodded her head "Of course, milord."

Felicia looked at him with a helpful grin and found warmth in her heart to see that he'll be willing to help her and her sister. "C-Corrin?" He looked at her and let go of her hand. "Oh… I'm sorry. What is it, Felicia?" She looked at him with a hint of nervousness in her composure.

"Do you think you can show us around the fortress? There must be several floors around here, and my sister and I don't want to get lost."

Corrin nodded his head and faced Gunter. "I'll give a tour to my new retainers. Gunter have Jakob make something for us when we're finished, OK?"

Gunter noticed a spark in Corrin's eyes and smiled "At once Lord Corrin." He then left to complete his task.

"Come on Felicia and Flora. It's time to give you the grand tour of the Northern Fortress." With that being said, they began walking the various areas of the building.

Well this marks the end of the first chapter! If you enjoyed it, leave a review! Constructive criticism is helpful as well.

Well now I got to go study *sigh*. See ya!
