A/N The rest is epilogue card style because if I wrote it all it'd be a series!

Claude and Hilda

After many years of careful rebuilding, High King Claude Riegan creates a united and peaceful Fodlan. However, it is clear to those clever enough to notice, that many of his political schemes would not have been successful without the shrewd help of the Lady Hilda. After years of working side by side and with the gentle urgings of their former professor. The two admit their affections and are wed. Side by side they do the hereunto thought impossible task of navigating the political minefield of foriegn diplomacy.

Not long after their wedding, Claude gives the throne of Fodlan to his trusted friend Lord Gloucester, sure he and his wife Marianne, even more intelligent and kind under her adopted father's tutelage, will govern well. He declares himself Head of Foriegn Affairs and devotes himself to an opening of international borders.

With his wife's help and charm he is able to cross many borders both geographic and cultural, and their twin sons are known for their open mindedness and cleverness with the languages of every nation.

Lorenz and Marianne

It is only after the shortest appropriate amount of courting that Lorenz and Marianne are wed. Many who attend the wedding remark on the bride's beauty, wondering how such a radiant woman had escaped society notice for so long. In the dark no longer, Marianne sets herself to learning all she can from her adoptive father. Becoming a wise ruler and the perfect complement to her husband's passionate belief in a better world.

The Gloucester territory flourishes as a center of art and beauty. With the help of the formal Knight of Art, Sir Ignatz, and the contributions of international art from the Lady Hilda, the Gloucester Gallery becomes a wonder to all people and a representation of the beauty of peace.

When High King Reigan, announces his intentions to step down and offers the crown to Lord Gloucester, Lorenz accepts. He and his wife rule fairly and wisely, always maintaining that their duty as nobles is to serve and better the world around them.

Raphael and Ignatz

Raphael returned to his sister and with the money granted to him by the king for "fine muscular service" he expands Ignatz's family restaurant business. His sister Maya, accompanies him to the Gloucester wedding and there meets a handsome young knight painting the ceremony. On returning home, Maya declares her intention to become an artist.

Sir Ignatz's visits home eventually lead to a courtship. Seeing his parents and Raphael working side by side, he can finally believe in Raphael's forgiveness. With her beloved's brother's permission, he and Maya marry. With his patron's permission, he and his new wife travel, painting the landscapes they visit. Their works, "View of the World" are the heart of the famous Gloucester Galley

Dorothea and Bernadetta

Happily freed of the pressures of nobility, Bernadetta helped her friend Dorothea reestablish the Milfrank Opera Company. Spending most of her time in her quiet room in the opera house, Bernie pens some of the greatest opera's Enbarr has known. Although whenever asked, she does admit that many of the key songs of her most famous work, a romantic opera "The Maiden and the Beast" came from another source, but no fan has managed to get the elusive author to confess what that source is.

Dorothea returns to the spotlight for many years, her confidence in herself only making her shine more brightly. On tour to Dagda, she meets a man there and the two fall in love. Once married, she retires, turning instead to managing the company as well as occasionally teaching at Manuela's School of the Arts.

Manuela

Taking after the country around her, Manuela turned over a new leaf. She threw herself into the establishment of a school in Enbarr, "Manuela's School of the Arts." Accepting students from all countries and walks of life, the finest artists emerged from this academy. Historians note that The Manuela was the key to successful mixing of cultures that come from this golden age.

It was also said that Manuela would meet often with Dorothea and Benedetta and many theorized it was she who was the mysterious ghost composer of the "Maiden and the Beast". When confronted, the woman would just smile and say she was merely the messenger. She did often point out that Lady Marianne was always in attendance and that the first show was always a private showing for King Lorenz Hellman Gloucester.

Hanneman and Lysithea

Hannemen continued to throw himself tirelessly into his work. Lysithea continued to thrive as the prodigy she was under his continued tutelage until he had nothing left to teach her. Together the two tracked down any remaining clues of Those Who Slither in the Dark. As Lysithea's health began to deteriorate, it was an unsigned treatise found in Enbarr that led to the breakthrough Hanneman needed to cure Lysithea. In an unprecedented event, Hannemen successfully removed Lysithea's crests. Her health returned and she accepted a position as court mage, her talent barely faded by their loss.

On his deathbed, Hannemen gave the notebook and the secret to crest removal to Lysithea. On it, she saw the old professor had signed the author's name on the notebook. The man recognized the writing even if the owner had almost never turned in his assignments, prefering to nap during class.

Byleth and Seteth

Despite being Archbishop of the church. Byleth traveled the world with her new family. Wherever she and Seteth went, they offered wise counsel. Whenever conflict or misunderstanding would arise. The two would appear, quickly calming tempers, educating parties and leaving those in charge feeling quite like scolded children.

When High King Claude handed Fodlan over to Lord Gloucester, Byleth returned to Gareg Mach. Together with Seteth, she re-established a school there. This time, however, they took the best of what the Officer's Academy had been and spread it worldwide. Children of leaders throughout the world trusted the pair enough to send their children to Golden Deer Academy where they would bond and grow, ensuring the peace lasted throughout generations.
