Chapter 1: Father-Son Bonding Time

"Father, do you have a moment?"

"Hm? Oh Hi Morgan, is there anything that you need?"

Frederick the Wary sitting in the armory cleaning his weapons when his only son came in, tactician robes and all.

"..."

Frederick stopped cleaning when he heard no reply from his usually loquacious son.

Giving his full attention to Morgan, Ylisse's royal knight stood up and saw that his son was nervously looking around- to anything but his father.

"…Morgan, is something wrong?" The knight asked in a worried tone.

Finally lifting his eyes up to his father's, Morgan stared at him intensely.


While waiting for a response, Frederick couldn't help but feel immense pride for his son. Morgan may have inherited more from his mother, but if anyone studied the young tactician closely, they could easily pointed out that they boy had inherited his father's eyes.

These very eyes held a steely, icy, and unforgiving gaze when facing Risen. Holding a fiery determination and strength that screamed to protect others. However, when around those he loved dearly, his eyes shone softly with unspoken loyalty, truth, respect, and love. Frederick couldn't help but smile softly as he gazed back into the very eyes that mirrored his own.

"Father, did you hear me?"

Blinking rapidly and shaking away his thoughts, the knight flushed with embarrassment when he realized he did not pay attention to Morgan's question.

"I'm sorry Morgan, I was just reminiscing something. Can you please repeat what you said?"

Taking a deep breath, Morgan squared his shoulders and straightened his back. He nervously smiled back as he repeated his question.

"Father….may I participate in one of your "Fanatical Fitness Hour Sessions"?"

Frederick's eyes widened in disbelief and his mouth dropped in surprise. He was not expecting that question.

"…Pardon?"


Morgan let out a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck. With a soft voice he said, "You see father, I want to participate in your famous sessions that I keep hearing about. Vaike, Sully, Henry, and mother mentioned how it helped them to become stronger physically and emotionally. In addition it got me thinking…it could help bring back some of my memories of you. So I was hoping that you would train me. Please?" Morgan's eyes shined with hopeful determination.

Frederick's eyes softened at his son's words and couldn't help but chuckle. This is what gotten his son all nervous? Putting a comforting arm on his shoulder, the knight happily said, "Of course Morgan! I could never say no to that! In fact, this is the first time I've ever heard of someone partaking in my training sessions so willingly. I was just surprised you would ask me to train you."

Morgan's mouth dropped in shock. "What? Why would you ever think of such a thing father?!"

With a small smile, Frederick replied, "Well, you take after your mother more, so I naturally thought that you would be asking her more for training. After all, you aspire to become a great tactician, right?"

Morgan abruptly gazed up at his father in mortified shock. Did he give out that impression to his own father?

"Father! How could you even think that? I do want to become a tactician, but I can't be successful with just mother's help! You are my dad, and do you have any idea how amazed I am over what you do?"


As his son spoke, Frederick's eyes widened in shock and awe.

"I hear it from King Chrom, Queen Sumia, Princess Lissa, Sully, Vaike, Tharja, and especially mother all the time- They wouldn't be strong without your help! Not just in training too, but also in everyday chores such as making a fire, killing bears for our dinner, and to even clearing pebbles and other hazards out of the pathway. I admire your strength, kindness, passion, and dedication to those you love. I… want to be just like you! I would never love one parent over the other! I love you and mother both equally! " Morgan blurted out.

Frederick blinked rapidly as he processed the confession that Morgan had said. Slowly, his mouth stretched into a huge grin across his face. With a hearty laugh, the knight pulled his son into a back-breaking hug.

"I love you too Morgan. Also, thank you for saying that. I'm so used to hearing complaints about what I do around camp, that it's so refreshing when I hear appreciation." He then lowered his voice into a whisper. "I'll also tell you a secret: I was very…perturbed over the fact that you wouldn't like me as your own father. With your memories gone, it was evident that you favored your mother over me in terms of relationships. But Morgan just….thank you. Thank you so much."

Pulling away to see the teary eyed and grinning face of his son, Frederick ruffled Morgan's hair affectionately and then uncharacteristically smirked.

"However, this doesn't mean I'll go easy on you during your training just because you're my son. I want you to be ready outside your tent by five in the morning sharp. If you'd like, we can start tomorrow morning. I want to get in a two hour training session at least five times a week in the mornings before we march with the rest of the Shepherds. Understand?"

With Morgan's posture straight, his mouth curved into the brightest smile his father has ever seen, and his eyes ablaze with excitement, Morgan shouted out the biggest "Yes sir!" he ever had in his life.

And Frederick thanked Naga he has a wonderful son named Morgan.
