Chapter 10: Lucina Part 3
A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter! I do not own Super Smash Brothers, Disney, or Nintendo. Enjoy!
Chrom approached Lucina who sat on a bench under the blossom tree. Lucina saw him and turned her head away. Chrom sat beside Lucina.
"My, my, what beautiful blossoms we have this year." Chrom stated.
Chrom looked up into the blossom tree.
"But look, this one's late. But, I'll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all." Chrom said.
Lucina and Chrom shared smiles. Just then, drums started to pound. They were announcing the arrival of Sothe and two guards on horseback.
"What is it?" Lucina questioned.
Chrom got up and walked to the entrance of their house with Lucina following.
"Lucina, stay inside." Chrom ordered.
Morgan caught Lucina's attention and motioned for her to come inside. Lucina spied the railing near the wall and climbed up to watch over the roof.
"Citizens, I bring a proclamation from the castle: the Reds have invaded Ylisse!" Sothe announced.
"No!" the townspeople yelled in surprise.
"By order of the King, one man from every family must serve in the army." Sothe declared.
As Sothe called the name of a family, a member of the family stepped up, bowed to the guard, and took the conscription notice from the guard.
As soon as Sothe called Lucina's family, Lucina whispered, "No."
Chrom walked toward Sothe. Chrom bowed before the horsemen.
"I am ready to serve the King." Chrom stated.
Chrom started to reach for the conscription notice. Lucina ran outside to keep her father from taking the conscription notice.
"Father, you can't go." Lucina said.
"Lucina!" Chrom scolded as he turned to see Lucina.
"Please sir, my father has already fought bravely—"Lucina tried to tell Sothe.
"Silence! You would do well to teach your daughter to hold her tongue in a man's presence." Sothe barked.
"Lucina, you dishonor me." Chrom stated as he looked away from Lucina.
Morgan guided Lucina back in the house. Sothe handed Chrom the conscription notice.
"Report tomorrow at the Ylisse camp." Sothe noted.
"Yes, sir." Chrom obeyed.
Chrom walked back to the house.
That night, Rosie, Chrom, Morgan, and Lucina were eating in silence. Thunder was heard outside and lightning was seen through the opaque window. Lucina poured the tea for her family. She slammed her teacup down on the table and stood up.
"You shouldn't have to go." Lucina commented.
"Lucina!" Rosie scolded.
"There are plenty of young men to fight for Ylisse." Lucina mentioned.
"It is an honor to protect my country and my family." Chrom declared.
"So you'll die for honor!" Lucina shouted angrily.
"I will DIE doing what's right." Chrom stated as he stood up angrily.
"But if you—"Lucina started to say.
"I know my place, it is time you learned yours." Chrom reported.
Lucina looked like she was about to cry. She turned away and ran outside into the rainstorm. She cried as she ran.
A/N: Well, that was Lucina: Part 3! I hoped you liked it! Part 4 is going to be a lot more interesting! Oh, and about all of you who read this story, are any of you good at drawing the Smash Bros. characters? Because I would like to see scenes from this story drawn out!
