In the aftermath of Ikona's death, Hoshido has been left to struggle. No evidence has been found regarding the one who killed her, and Hinoka's words have not been enough to make many believe that Nohr is responsible. Garon is in denial of any wrongdoing, believing that Hoshido is simply trying to point fingers in the name of a coming war. Hoshido's children have been growing up, and Mikoto has been raising Corrin all the same. However, Mikoto and Corrin have decided to travel elsewhere after years of isolation, and they find themselves in the Hoshidan capital of Shirasagi where Sumeragi and his four children live.

(The chapter opens to show Mikoto walking with Corrin through the capital.)

Corrin: Are we almost there?

Mikoto: Yes, we are... We're going to stay at the local inn until we can find a place that will be our own. Stay close to me, dear.

Corrin: Of course, Mother.

(Mikoto and Corrin stop when they see a large crowd in the main square of Shirasagi.)

Mikoto: Ah... I suppose that the royal family is out and about.

Corrin: The royal family?

Mikoto: Yes. King Sumeragi and his four children, Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura, are in charge of making sure that Hoshido is safe and its people are healthy.

Corrin: Wow...! I want to see them!

Mikoto: I don't know if that's a good idea... We should keep going for now.

Corrin: Please, Mother?

Mikoto: ...Alright. You know I can't resist it when you use that face. Come on. We won't be able to talk to them, but we can at least see them.

Corrin: Thank you, Mother!

Mikoto: You're welcome, Corrin. Come now. Let's go.

(The gameplay segment of the chapter begins. The objective is to reach Sumeragi, Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura by traveling through the crowd surrounding them. After such has been accomplished, the following dialogue plays out as Mikoto stands behind Corrin.)

Mikoto: There you are... What do you think?

Corrin: Wow... They look so fancy! I wish I could be like that... I'd love to be royalty!

Mikoto: It would be nice...

(Sumeragi approaches them.)

Sumeragi: You two aren't from around here, are you?

Mikoto: Ah...! N-No, we aren't, Your Majesty...

Sumeragi: Who might you be?

Mikoto: My name is Mikoto, and this is my child, Corrin.

Corrin: Wow...!

Sumeragi: It's nice to meet you both.

Mikoto: The same to you...

Sumeragi: There's no need to be nervous. I promise that I'm not frightening. Tell me, where do you live?

Mikoto: We just arrived in the capital a few hours ago. We don't have a place to stay yet, but we're going to work it out as soon as we have the chance to.

Sumeragi: I see... If you truly need a place to live, you're welcome to come and stay with us in the palace until you can get on your feet.

Mikoto: I... That would be...

Corrin: That would be amazing! Can we, Mother?!

Mikoto: I suppose so... Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.

Sumeragi: It's no issue at all. Shall we be off?

Mikoto: Of course.

(Mikoto and Corrin start to walk to the palace as Sumeragi gathers his children behind them.)

Ryoma: I wonder who that woman is...

Hinoka: Father seems to find her interesting.

Takumi: I'm sure he'll explain it later.

Sakura: I-I hope so...

(The focus switches to Mikoto and Corrin.)

Corrin: This is going to be amazing! I can't believe that the royal family noticed us!

Mikoto: Yes... I can't believe it either...

(Sumeragi begins to mutter to himself as the rest of the group talks amongst themselves.)

Sumeragi: They appear to be Vallite... But that can't be possible. Everyone from Valla was killed in the invasion years ago... Hm. There's something captivating about that woman though. It seems I'll simply have to find out what's going on here for myself.

(The chapter ends as the group enters the palace properly.)


Oh yay new chapter
