Some reviewers have asked a story about how the other residents of Garreg Mach view Robin and Byleth relationship, so here it is. Tell me what do you guys think in the review and who is the next character that should show up in the chapter.

"Just one more book!"

"No."

"It won't take long at all! I promise!"

"No."

"But this book is calling my name!"

"It's not. What's really calling your name is the dining hall."

"Liar! The dining hall isn't calling my name!"

"Oh but it is, you probably just can't hear it form here so why don't we go there so you can hear it better."

Claude looked up from the book pertaining to the history of the Church of Seiros that he had been reading and greeted by a rather amusing sight of his professor dragging along a knight who was whining about finishing one more book. The first time he had seen this, Claude couldn't help himself and immediately laughed aloud, earning an annoyed glare from the usually calm and collected professor. Nowadays, Claude had wised up and managed to hold in his laughter until the professor had already fully dragged the knight out of the library.

At least that way he could be sure that his professor wouldn't suddenly assign, or rather condemn, him to stable cleaning duty…with Lorenz.

Robin Daraen and Byleth Eisner, Claude had to admit that these two made quite a pair and not because of their, frankly, hilarious antics but also due to other reasons that he found rather interesting. Not only had the two managed to acquire their respective positions right away while also literally skipping the entire process that was usually required for achieving these roles, but the two of them were also quite unique in their own way.

Professor Byleth was not only revealed to possess the supposedly lost Crest that once belonged to the King of Liberator, the Crest of Flame, she also turned out to be capable of wielding the legendary Sword of Creator that had been rumored to be capable to cut through a mountain.

Sir Robin was not only a master of magic and spells, to the point where he actually could fly (a fact that still baffled Claude until now); he was also an incredibly powerful swordsman and a brilliant tactician, defeating strong foes like the mighty Thunder Catherine and even the Death Knight himself.

Claude still remembered how Robin fired off a Thoron spell at the Death Knight at point blank range, causing his armor to crack and break on impact. To date, nothing could damage the Death Knight's armor, not even the Sword of Creator.

However, what Claude found most interesting was the fact that one, Robin was a foreigner, two, the two of them were in a relationship, and quite a close and loving one at that if all the public affection they tended to display were any indication.

In Fodlan, a native being in such a loving relationship with a foreigner, and so open about it on top of that, was quite rare. The fact that the two of them could make it work and weren't afraid to show it so blatantly gave Claude hope that his goal and dream could work.

"Robin, wait!"

Somehow, Robin managed to break free from Byleth's grip and immediately ran toward the pile of books that he gathered earlier before he picks one book, the one he was reading earlier, and then made a mad dash toward the window.

"Sorry dear, but I promise I'll head to the dining hall once I finish this one. Tomas, note that I'm borrowing this book! See ya!" and Robin immediately flew off the window. Claude placed a fist on his mouth as he tried his best to not burst out laughing on the spot and earning himself the ire of his professor who looked very frustrated at the moment.

After letting out a frustrated growl, Byleth promptly left the library. Claude had no doubt that the blue haired woman was going to hunt down the flying white-haired man by any means necessary. Admittedly, it wasn't the first time something like this had happen.

Claude finally let the mirth escape his mouth as he slapped the table a few times, and evidently, he wasn't the only who found it funny. Lysithea might've found what just transpired as rather annoying since it had broken the peace and quiet of the library she had been enjoying but Claude found it hilarious nonetheless. If there was one thing he envied about Robin, it was how carefree he was and unlike his very own, Robin's blithe nature was genuine, like all the problems in the world didn't bother him in the slightest.

He always thought that Robin's attitude and demeanor were one of the many things that had caused his professor to fall for the man. Unlike Shamir, who was indifferent to others aside from the few she actually bothered to socialize with, or Cyril, whose single-minded focus allowed him to ignore his surroundings most of the time, Robin always tried to befriend everyone. Perhaps that was why people seemed to accept him and respect him so quickly compared to other foreigners; even when he got turned down, Robin didn't give up and would try to approach the person he wanted to befriend from different angle.

Also, admittedly it was quite easy to trust Robin for some reasons.

Claude couldn't deny that he wanted to know more about those two, about why Byleth possessed the Crest of Flame, about where Robin truly came from, about why Robin was here in Fodlan in the first place, and many more. He also wanted to use them as a shining example that a relationship between a native and a foreigner could work out wonderfully. Perhaps, if they agreed to helping him then he even could use their talent in combat for a more…specific purpose.

But for now, he needed to find out more about why Fodlan was so closed off from the other nations in the first place.

Later that night, when Claude has finally decided he has read enough books and returned to his dorm room, he couldn't help but let a grin grew on his face when he spotted Robin riding a wyvern on the sky with Byleth sitting behind him, wrapping her arms around his body. Another thing that he wanted to find out, how could those two always ended up on good terms again despite that instances similar to what occurred earlier kept happening?

He supposed that he had a lot of things to discover. But for now, he was content in knowing that Robin and Byleth have unknowingly helped his goal take a small step forward through their relationship.

He hoped the bond between the two of them could influence others someday.
