A/N: Just wanted to warn you guys that there are slight spoilers for Fire Emblem Awaking in this chapter. They aren't in great detail, but they're still there.

Chapter 3

Chrom sighed as he walked into the main dining room of the Smash Mansion that following day. "I still can't believe my conversation with Lucina ended so poorly yesterday." The blue haired swordsman thought to himself, before he saw Princess Zelda sitting in one of the chairs at the large dining table.

And when the Hylian noblewoman noticed him she waved in his direction and greeted him with, "Chrom, good day to you. Were you able to find out what was troubling Lucina?"

"Well, actually I was able to find out what was troubling Lucina. However, it's something that she and I had discussed before." The exalt explained, as he pulled out a chair and sat down next to Zelda. Once he had done this he continued with, "This time though the conversation about that certain topic ended on a sour note."

ooooooo

Chrom sat penitently and waited for his daughter to sit down next to him on her bed before he told her, "Whenever you're ready Lucina."

"Alright, um now how can put this in the best way possible?" The princess started, while she took a deep breath. Once she had released the breath of air she kept on going with, "I'm not going to mess words with you, Father. But lately I've felt like I don't belong here."

"Lucina, I thought we had put this issue behind you when we were dealing with Grima. Don't you remember I told you if you were unable to return to your time that you could stay in Ylisse?" Chrom pointed out, after he had placed a hand on his daughter's left shoulder.

"I-I know you had offered me that choice. But don't you think that such a decision would cause confusion when your actual daughter becomes older and meets someone who looks and sounds exactly like she does?" The blue eyed young woman questioned, upon looking away from her father once more.

"Well….yes I suppose that's true. However, let's deal with that when it happens shall we?" Chrom suggested, as he put on a confronting smile.

This did not lead to the result the king was hoping for though as his daughter pushed his hand away and said, "I'm sorry Father, but I doubt that would be a good idea."

Chrom then watched as his daughter got up off of her bed and headed towards her bedroom door. While she did this though he told her, "Wait Lucina, we're not done talking about this yet."

Once he had said this the blue haired swordsman was taken aback by the grief filled look on his daughter's face when she responded back with, "I'm sorry Father, but I feel it would be better for me to just disappear into the shadows rather then to interfere with my younger self's life."

ooooooo

Zelda placed a gloved hand underneath her chin after Chrom had finished telling her what had happened yesterday between himself and his daughter. She closed her eyes deep in thought while she said, "Hmm, from what you told me it seems like Lucina may be worried about what had happened in the future. And yet I've heard that she has not been able to find a way back to her time correct?"

"Yes, that's what I was thinking as well. And when I had brought this discuss up during our fight against Grima she had mentioned that she was unsure if she would be able to return to the future." Chrom replied, while he also placed a gloved underneath his chin.

"Well, if you would like Chrom, I could ask her if she wouldn't mind living in Hyrule either in the Castle Town or in Ordon Village where Link lives." The Hylian noblewoman suggested, once she had opened her eyes and looked over at the blue haired swordsman.

The blue eyed princess saw that her suggestion had caught Chrom's attention as he asked, "Would you really do that Zelda? Even for people you've only gotten to know for only a few months time?"

"Of course I would. But let me ask you if I was no longer in control in Hyrule would you not offer me refuge for some time until I felt I was ready to return home?" Zelda asked, as she stood up out of the chair.

Almost instantly the exalt followed suit when he replied, "Yes of course I would offer you safety in Ylisse. And when you felt you were ready to leave I would personally escort you back to your kingdom myself."

"Well, if that is the case then I suppose Hyrule and Ylisse will have a very strong bond when this year's tournament has come to an end." Zelda stated with a warm smile.

"Thank you so much, Zelda/" Chrom said, before the King of Ylisse hugged the burnette and spun her around a few times. Once he had done this though he quickly let go of her and added, "I um, I apologize for that. I guess I let my emotions get the better of me."

Hearing this prompted the Hylian princess to let out a soft giggle while she reassured him with, "That's quite alright Chrom. I am just glad that I was able to help you in some fashion."

The nobles then began to walk out of the dining room in good spirits. But as they did this the two had not noticed that Ganondorf had been on the other side of the room listening in on their conversation. And when he knew they were gone he could not help but to let out a dark chuckle as he said to himself, "You should really be more careful about what you do Chrom. It would be a real shame for someone to tell your daughter that you were caught almost cheating on her mother with the Princess of Hyrule." He also began to walk out of the room pushing his cape behind him while he added, "And when she learns of this I'm certain Lucina will be more then willing to get her revenge on Zelda. And when she does this then Hyrule will be mine for the taking."

A/N: Just so you know for these stories I can kind of picture all of the kingdoms being somewhat close to each other. (since this is set in it's own universe and all) So the for some kingdoms I could see the distance being about maybe a weeks time to get to some. While others would take two or more weeks. (I will go into more detail about this in the next story I write.)
