What can I say? I'm in such a mood lately to write things about Siegbert. ... Kind of. I wanted to write on something longer with him and got an idea! ... Yeeeah, might as well spread the warning before going further into basic detail:
!WARNING! Canon x OC (focus) !WARNING!
Now that you know ahead you can eithe rprogress or not. Your choice. I gave the warning out. Have fun^^
Side note to avoid future confusion: This story takes place during the plot of "Fire Emblem Fates-Revelation"
This is odd. Someone makes noises in his room. Normally no one besides the young prince and the few caretakers and teachers were here. And the relam itself was not filled with people. Quiet the opposite. No one else lived here. So how is this possible? Could it be- No, someone who breaks in wouldn't sob.
Should he tell someone? Normally he had to. He did not know who it was. But the person did not seem like someone who wants to harm him or anyone else here. At least it did not sound like it. Maybe he should take a look first? Yes. And if the person is dangerous he will right away tell someone.
Slowly the door opened, He took a sneak peek in the room. At first he did not see anyone, noticed no one. But when he looked closer he saw someone sitting with the back to the door, in the centre of the room.
It was a small, blond haired girl, looking like she was around his age. She seemed to knee while mumbling something quietly. He did not really understand her mumbling. The only word loud enough was 'lonely'. Lonely? It means something like being alone or feeling alone.
He started to feel sorry for her. She doesn't seem dangerous. Maybe he could help her and-
"Lord Siegbert!?" someone shouted at him. "Lord Siegbert! Aren't you listening!?"
Suddenly Siegbert snapped out of his thoughts. He looked on his desk. A book about battle strategies was opened. And on top it was at the same page he started.
Did he space out again during his studies? If this keeps on going he might get behind his schedule once more. And as a prince he was not allowed to let this happen! "I should get my act together again" he mumbled quietly.
"What was that?" the female voice asked him. Suddenly he realized and turned around. "Nothing" he answered as soon as he saw who it was.
"If you say so" she answered, sighing.
"Did you need something?"
"I just wanted to check on you Milord and ask if you needed something? Like a coffee, a shoulder massage or-"
"No, I'm quiet fine Emi" Siegbert interrupted her. "But thank you for your concern."
"Are you sure? I still could-"
"No, really. You don't have to worry. I am fine."
"Didn't look like it" the blond female told him while staring very serious at him. "This is the fifth time you have been spacing out this week. You might need a day off at this rate."
Siegbert tried to look calmly at her. She is doing it again, worrying too much about his well being. Well, maybe she has a point. He was spacing out a lot lately. But a day off? Impossible! He has to meet certain expectations as the son of his father, crown prince Xander himself. He didn't have that luxury. Besides…
"What about you?" he asked her. "I think you might need a break too."
"Me? A break!?" she asked him a bit shocked. "No way! Besides, I am not the one overworking myself!"
"But all you do is-"
"Lord Siegbert" Emi interrupted him. "I do not mean any disrespect with my answer but I really don't need any breaks. I'm doing what I'm only doing my bare minimum around here."
Bare minimum? What does her 'bare minimum' mean? Working all day for the army? Training each day? And then on top taking care of him?
But the Nohrian prince could not do anything but sighing. He knew perfectly how stubborn she was. Too stubborn for her own good.
She looked questioning at him. "Milord?"
"No, it's nothing" Siegbert answered once more. "I will not tell you what to do and what not to do."
"Did I say something wrong?"
He shook his head. "No, not at all. Please, do not worry about it."
"If you say so" then she stepped a bit backwards, right to the door and turned around. "Then I will go and leave you alone for now. Can I still check on you later?"
"If it puts you at ease."
"Thanks." And just like that she opened the door and left the room.
Why is she doing this? His friend out of all places?
It started sometime ago. Siegbert knew Emi since his childhood in the deeprelams. He found her in his room, crying and talking about being lonely. Due to feeling bad for her he decided to convince his caretakers to make her his playmate. And it was successful.
Ever since then she was at his side all the time. And her presence was always something pleasant and refreshing. Yet the older they grew Emi was behaving more like another caretaker of his.
She always checked on his well being and soon also started calling him "Lord Siegbert" or "Milord". At first he thought this was just a phase but soon he realized this will be their relationship from now on-Servant and master.
Did he feel comfortable? Not at all! She was his friend! Not some kind of master! He would like to show his worry too but she did not let him do so. He did not understand this sudden change. Not in the slightest. Not even a clue.
If he knew, if he knew.
