(Kagero's POV)
I awoke early to go speak with Rinkah about what to do, and there was a simple yawn heard from Jessica- as I learned from Kaze- in her room. I assumed Kaze was out to receive a message from Her Majesty about what we are doing with Lord Corrin and Jessica.
"Rinkah, is Lord Corrin awake?" I asked, entering the room.
"He should be soon. You should go get Jessica, I'm sure she would like to see Lord Corrin awake." Rinkah replied.
"That would be a good idea."
As I approached Jessica's room, crying was heard from inside, and I carefully open the room to see her crying in the corner.
"Is everything alright, Jessica?" I asked.
"Oh, K-Kagero. I'm s-sorry. My m-mind is being n-negative again. C-can I help you with s-something?" She asked, wiping away the tears from her eyes.
"Would you like to see Lord Corrin? I'm sure he's worried that you are okay for he's going to be waking up soon."
"Oh, y-yes." she said.
As we approached Lord Corrin's room, Jessica had lowered her hood, revealing a long orange-yellow hair that curled as it reached her back. We entered, and Lord Corrin was awake, looking at the both of us, to which he greeted Jessica.
"Hello, Jessica." he said.
"Good morning, Lord Corrin. Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine. Are you alright?"
"After you were knocked out I- panicked. I asked that they didn't harm me in return for handing over my weapons."
The door behind me was knocked on, and Kaze entered.
"We have been ordered to take the both of you to Castle Shirasagi by Her Majesty." He said.
"Are we to be tried and then executed?" he asked.
"You'll see." I said.
We started the journey in the wagon, where we would arrive around evening due to trekking up to the mountain.
(Jessica's PoV)
I was going to meet to Hoshidan Royal Family! I was somewhat squealing with glee, for I always wanted to meet these characters. As we journeyed on, Corrin and I discussed our concerns. His where mainly about what was going to happen in Hoshido. My concerns were my fear and problems.
"Jessica." Kaze said, switching spots with Kagero as our guard.
"Kaze, is there something you need?" I asked.
"I asked you to play the tune your brother played for you when we arrived at the area, but it seemed we didn't have enough time. Would you like to play it now?"
"Oh, um... would you like to listen to it as well, Lord Corrin?" I asked, turning towards him.
"I certainly don't mind." he replied.
I pulled out the flute from my coat pocket, and placed my hands on the petals, and my mouth on the mouth piece. I slowly closed my eyes, and played the Littleroot Town Song from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald for them. After I finished, I slowly opened my eyes, pulling my mouth off the spot and putting my head down.
"Is somethig wrong, Jess?" Corrin asked me.
"I'm sorry to inform you, Mr. and Mrs. Anali, that your son James, has passed away. The car crash injured him heavily on impact." the doctor said.
15-year-old me looked at James, my 18-year-old brother, as he sat on the hospital bed.
"There was one thing we could salvage from the car wreck. He asked me to leave it in your daughter's possession."
I turned towards the doctor, as the doctor took out a small long box. As I slowly looked at it, the flute he would play for me was in it. Immediately tears started to form in my eyes. He's dead.
"This is y'all's fault." 15-year-old me said to my mother and father.
"Annie-" they started.
"If you two didn't start arguing, he wouldn't have left the house. He wouldn't have got in that car crash 4 hours ago. James..." I said.
I snapped back to my senses with my head buried in someone's chest, tears rushing down my eyes. There was also warm hand stroking my hair, and another one rubbing my back.
"W-what happened?" I asked.
"When you finished the song you didn't speak but started to tear up a storm." Kagero said.
If Kagero was here, that mean Kaze was on guard duty, and since her voice wasn't in proximity, that meamt...
I immediately pulled back, looking down onto the ground.
"G-gods. I didn't m-mean for that t-too happen. I was just... remembering visiting my brother's hospital room when he died. I'm... I'm s-sorry for crying into your chest Lord Corrin." I said, trying to hide my embarassment and blush.
"It's alright."
The wagon stopped, and the sounds of gates were heard.
"It sounds like we are here. Time to go then." Kagero said, hopping down from the wagon.
