Review Last Chapter: Rebecca happily delivered her boxes of cookies to tents when she found Raven out in the cold. He talked about his past as she forgot the time. When she finally realized what time it was, Serra and Rebecca pick up their pace and look around for Sain. Priscilla got to him first as Serra and Rebecca found the two kissing in the back. Rebecca kicked Sain out afterwards. Serra and Erk go eavesdropping on Lady Ada and Hector, which turn out to be a confession from Lord Hector for his love for her. During the battle, Legault joined their group and the group broke into five different organizations.

What's the genre Angst? I have no idea.

This is the chapter in which two of our beloved characters die. So sad…I just have to cry…I should turn this fanfic into a tragedy for this! Well, anyways…guess who's guilty of attempted murder. oO I'm so evil sometimes. Thanks for reviewing everyone, love you all. It seemed everyone knows whom Rebecca will end up with, but of course, losing an old lover is never easy!

I do not own Fire Emblem or any of its characters. My tactician name is Ada. Affinity- Fire.

Chapter XV: Tragedy Strikes From Within

The group arrived to the boat really quick that day. All the organizations wanted a race to see who will reach to the boat first, and it turned out to be the ALA. It was kind of obvious they would win; they did have those pegasis and those horses. Everyone was tired that day, and most of the group was happy. Most of the group, that is.

Eliwood had been miserable all day. He's dad, Marquess Pherae died and he cannot do anything to help. Eliwood, Lyndis, Ninian, and Nils were nowhere to be seen that evening when it's almost dinnertime. The boat arrived back on Lycian shores. Everyone set up their camps and thanked Captain Fargus for his help. Serra insisted that she cooked dinner that night. Everyone were too happy to care who cooked dinner, as they accept the challenge. Serra smiled broadly and head off in the kitchen by herself. Rebecca asked if she needed help but Serra said "no" happily.

Serra was cooking when Priscilla came in. Her bow, apparently, was not there and this brought at least some relief to Serra. Serra eyed as Priscilla came in and gets some water for herself. "Hello Serra." She greeted.

"Hey." Serra greeted in return in an unfriendly voice.

"There are a lot of people eating today. We agreed that everyone eat on the same table today for celebration of our victory. I can help you take the food out." Priscilla offered. Serra looked at Priscilla suspiciously, but found no sign of dishonesty.

"Priscilla, after I cook finish, you can take the dishes out yourself if you want to do it so much." Serra said as she continued cooking. Priscilla was about to walk out when Wil ran in.

"Message from Lady Ada! Battle! Serra and Priscilla, you two can stay here! There are other people that will battle." Wil gave the message quickly as he speed off to find other people to send the message to. Serra continued cooking as Priscilla walked outside.

Lord Eliwood knew about the battle and came out to help Lyndis and Hector. Ninian came out as well and wanted to help too. She demonstrated her dancing skills as Lady Ada nodded in agreement. This is not a long battle as Ada only picked out 9 people. They are Eliwood, Hector, Ninian, Raven, Matthew, Rebecca, Fiora, Florina, and Erk. Priscilla stood near the tent and look out at the battlefield. Apparently everyone else is to protect the villages and Merlinus. An orchestra appeared out of nowhere and started playing some music. The villagers were enjoying this from their windows.

Canas ran out of his place and towards the orchestra. "Who the heck are you guys??? This place is dangerous, leave now!" Canas barked at them. The orchestra ignored Canas and continued playing their battle song for the battle going on in the villages.

Canas was running out of patience as he grabbed one of the violins and stopped the orchestra for a second. "Hey! I was beginning to enjoy that!!!" Canas can hear Matthew shouted from a distance as he started to roll his eyes. "You guys shouldn't be here. Leave or die!" The orchestra looked miserably at Canas until the conductor walked over to Canas.

"Excuse me, Canas. But we are ordered by your wife to assist you with wonderful music. Look what we have here…" The conductor showed Canas his pages of music that included titles such as "Together We Ride Along" and "Healing". They looked prepare to play any type of song for any situation such as "Together We Ride Along" when new people arrived on their team and "Healing" when Serra or Priscilla heals someone on the team. Canas was impressed as well as surprised his wife arranged all this by herself.

"Let the orchestra play, Canas! That was good!" commanded Lady Ada from afar as Canas returned the violin to its owner. Canas returned to his post all red. Now, there were an orchestra running around with them and playing whenever they could. But fortunately the enemies don't care what music is around them as long as they can fight.

In the middle of the fight, Raven was looking around for Rebecca for she was nowhere to be seen. She was commanded to go on the ballista to shoot her arrows at the enemies to give a little surprise. Raven saw the ballista, but did not see Rebecca at all. Raven wondered where she could have gone through in the middle of a battle. Raven found himself jump in fright as he heard her shriek from the opposite direction. Raven can feel the coldness in his heart, hoping that she'll be all right. The shriek was from far away, really far away but Raven ran as if there wasn't anything in the world stopping him from rescuing her.

"Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh mmmmmmmyyyyyy ggggggoooooooshhhh!!!!" Rebecca shrieked that can be heard for miles. Rebecca ran over to a man in a thick red cloak who barely came out of one of the villages. Rebecca started shaking his hand like crazy. "I am your biggest fan! You inspire me to cook! I just love your cooking!" The man was a bit confused at first but now caught on.

"Really? What's your name, milady?" He asked as Rebecca started jumping up and down and grabbed one of her cookbooks from her bag and handed to him. "Can you write an autograph for Rebecca?" The man started to write in her cookbook as Rebecca beamed at him. She was just so happy to see the world famous cook in the middle of this village. This must be a dream come true!

After signing the autograph, the cook left with haste. Rebecca waved good-bye in which he did not return back. Rebecca found herself hugging her cookbook tight until a familiar voice broke her senses. "Rebecca…there you are." The voice in which she will always remember. The only difference was it sounded a bit harsh and tired. Rebecca turned around, face to face with the red-haired mercenary. He did look pleased.

"Raven? Are you ok?" Rebecca asked in a worried voice as Raven just walked off and lean on the wall of one of the houses nearby. His face was hidden from view by his arm. He was in the posture now, not saying a single thing. Rebecca then remembered that they were in a battle, and Raven must have been worried for her. His gaze was not to her anymore but to the floor. Rebecca felt awful, awful about everything that just happened. Rebecca put her comfort hand on his shoulder.

"I'm very sorry, Raven. I couldn't calm myself in the presence of such a famous cook." Rebecca explained her case further, knowing that she cannot get away from this one. She had made Raven angry and now, he won't even face her. Rebecca was about to walk away, disappointed, when she heard something she never heard before in her life.

Raven was laughing. Raven was actually laughing! Rebecca knew that she must have lost her mind or something for Raven never laughed. Rebecca stared at him, confused. He must have lost it, he must have been too tired or the music is making him crazy. Rebecca cannot accept the truth.

"Raven, are you ok?" Rebecca asked, trying not to sound too harsh on him or upset him any further. If you can call this upsetting him… This was just too strange to believe.

Raven finally regain his usual posture and tried to look at her sternly without breaking into laughs. "Rebecca…you shrieked because of that?" Rebecca looked down at her cookbook in her arms. Rebecca turned red.

"Not just any cookbook! This is the one with the signature of…" Raven put his hand up to silence her as he started laughing softly again. Raven stood up firmly as the two started walking together back into battle.

"Let me get this straight. I ran halfway across the battle field, beating every single enemies on the way, trying hard to restrain myself from killing the orchestra, and sweating like crazy to find out you're safe and not even a scratch on you. And you're even in a happy mood and find the greatest cook in the world and received an autograph as well?" Raven said as Rebecca tried to look innocent.

"You're not mad, are you?" Rebecca asked, trying not to make the conversation go in the wrong direction. Raven shook his head and laughed again. Rebecca cannot believe how gentle Raven can be. She never heard him laugh once before and now he can't stop laughing.

"Well, I should be. But it's just so funny!" Raven replied as Rebecca caught sight of Fiora killing the boss, Oleg. Rebecca knew it was time to head back for camp as she pulled the laughing Raven with her. Raven was in a good mood and this is all Rebecca can ask for.

After the battle, the nine were exhausted as they sat down to rest before dinner. Fiora had received an Elysian Whip from an old man in one of the villages and is now playing with it. She persisted that Florina use it, but Florina wanted her sister to use it. So at the end, Florina is going to use it. The new orchestra was introduced around to the members. Thank goodness they all brought their own tents or else, no one will have enough space to share tents with them. Rebecca was talking to Lady Ada about her little get-a-way and apologizing for it. Marcus came back with a message from Eliwood's mother, and someone else as well. This is the conversation:

Eliwood : Ah!!
Marcus : Is... Is that you, Isadora?!
Orchestra starts playing "Together We Ride Along"
Isadora : I've finally found you. I'm glad you're well...
Eliwood : Isadora, what are you doing here? Don't tell me
something's happened to Mother...
Isadora : No, Lady Eleanora is well. Do not worry. When word of Lord Elbert's death reached her yesterday... She said not a word... She merely gave her full attention to the messenger.
Eliwood : ...Mother.
Isadora : Then, she issued me orders without hesitation. She commanded I deliver this sword to Lord Eliwood and remain at his side.
Eliwood : But... the castle defenses will be shorthanded.
Isadora : Lord Eliwood... please... Understand your mother's feelings. Lord Elbert is not coming home. All your mother can do now is pray for your continued safety. "Obey your father's dying wish." That is her message to you, and I have delivered it.
Marcus: Why not petition Ostia for reinforcements to help ward Castle Pherae?
Eliwood : ...Good idea. I guess it would ease my mother's fears and bow to her wishes.
Isadora : It's that thinking that makes you Lord Eliwood.
Eliwood : Our battles are like nothing you've ever prepared for. ...Are you ready to face them, Isadora?
Isadora : Yes. I will serve with my very life.
Orchestra stops playing and ran off to pack up.
Serra was cooking the whole time as she finally added the finishing touches. Serra smelled the food and smiled. She had done a great job in cooking all these dishes for everyone. Serra was thankful she made extras for the orchestra as well. Priscilla walked in and was dressed quite nicely, Serra admitted. Her new Valkyrie outfit really suits her. Serra looked at her new outfit as well and smiled how her Bishop clothing suits her as well. Priscilla had shown no sign of interest in Erk for so long, Serra doesn't hate her anymore. But that doesn't mean they're friends either.
"Ready, Serra? Everyone had already seated themselves around this really long table and everyone is hungry." Priscilla mentioned as she leaned against one of the stoves in a bored way. Serra gave a quick glance to Priscilla and put the dishes down on these trays marked with everyone's names.
"Priscilla, I'll go out and start unpacking my stuff. You can take the trays to everyone for me. Thanks!" Serra said quickly as she left the tent. Priscilla stared at the trays for a second and started taking a couple of trays and lifted them above her head. Priscilla couldn't help but smile.
Serra was unpacking her stuff into her tent when she noticed something was missing from her stuff. Serra looked at her clothes, and then jewelries. They were still there, all of them. Serra thought hard. What is missing? She has this awful feeling that something was definitely missing from her room. At the end, she gave up and left the room without unpacking her stuff. She didn't feel like unpacking anymore.
When Serra went outside to be seated with everyone else, everyone was already there. Everyone from the lords and ladies to the orchestra players. The first thing that Serra thought when she saw everyone there before her was how in the world did everyone came to the table so fast and how did Priscilla passed out the food so fast? Serra gently smiled at everyone, feeling her cheeks turning red, when Erk finally got up and pulled out a chair next to him. This was the cue that Serra was to be seated there. Lord Hector stood up for a toast.
" I like to thank everyone for fighting hard and staying with us through rainy days and sunny days. I don't know if there is ever anything we can do to repay you guys but endless thank you. Everyone knows that Lord Elbert, Eliwood's father had barely past away and we must thank him all, up there, for providing all of us a better future. Eliwood, any comments?" Hector sat back down as Eliwood nodded and stood up in his place. His face was a bit pale.
"I would like everyone to enjoy this feast. This enormous feast was cooked by Lady Serra herself and everyone should applaud her for that." Lord Eliwood announced as everyone clap for Serra. Serra flushed a bit.
Hector had a big smirk on his face as he retarded, "Ya, what happen to that annoying cleric that talks all the time and only care for herself?" A couple of people joined him and chuckle. One person was Matthew, who knew Serra for some time.
Serra gave Hector a dirty look and said, "Who said I'm a cleric? I happen to be a bishop now! And who said that I care for other people? I still care for myself thank you!" Everyone joined in and laughed happily. Everyone was in good spirits. Ada interrupted the laugh by standing up while Eliwood sat back down.
"I would also like to thank the orchestra who will be joining us on this journey." Ada announced as everyone clapped for the orchestra. The group smiled cheerfully. Ada quieted the group down as she finished up the toast. "May Saint Elimine blessed us all with good health. We can all enjoy the classy feast even though it is nearly 11 o'clock!" Everyone started digging through his or her feast.
Lord Hector, Lady Ada, Lady Lyndis, Lord Eliwood, Ninian, and Nils (Ninian's brother who joined them recently) were sitting in the front. Eliwood was talking to Ninian, who looked pretty nervous around the modest lord. Hector kept on putting food in Ada's plate and Ada kept on shaking her head not wanting too much meat. Nils and Lady Lyndis were talking happily together while Florina listened. Lyndis even gave Nils a big hug. Bartre and Dorcus didn't touch their food yet and headed out the tent immediately. Ada asked while Bartre replied, "I think we ate too much on Fargus's ship. We lost our appetite and needed to be dismissed. Sorry!" Ada nodded as the two took their leave. Guy didn't want to eat either and left the tent as well. Marcus was talking to Isadora, while Kent and Fiora listened quietly. Wil, Rebecca, and Lowen were deep in conversation. Matthew was talking to Legault about things he didn't understand. Merlinus and Hannah were talking quietly. Hannah said a few times about leaving soon. Canas and Lucius were talking about their goals and stuff like that. Raven and Priscilla were talking nicely, trying to make up for whatever had happened. The orchestra was talking among themselves while Sain tried to talk to some of them.
Meanwhile, Erk took this opportunity to finally give Serra what she wanted. Erk pulled out the book Lucius let him borrowed a few days ago. Serra gasped and took the book into her hands. It read "The World Book of Advance Magic". It was sort of like a book mixed of a tome in it. Serra looked through the pages happily. Serra gave Erk a big hug. "Erky, you know you don't have to do all that for me!"
Erk looked at her dreamily. "It was nothing." Serra was so happy. She never wanted the book itself to read or anything, but she just wanted to test Erk if he would actually get it for her. Now she knew that she was lucky to have him. Oswin gave her a disapproving look. Serra knew that look. That means that her table manners were terrible. Serra didn't want to take that look from Oswin as she walked outside the tent with permission from Lady Ada and read the book curiously. She decided to eat a bit later.
Serra sat outside the tent with the book in her hands when someone knocked her out unconscious. This was the first step.
"Hector…about this morning…I…" Lady Ada fell sleepily onto Hector's shoulder before finishing her sentence. Hector looked Ada through with a concern look on his face and before he knew it, he fell down asleep by her side. The ladies were the first to fall down, one by one. Eliwood tried to catch Ninian and Lyndis before he too, fell asleep on the floor. Erk looked up from his food. He ate his dinner a little late as he saw Priscilla descending.
"Priscilla!" Erk cried as he saw her falling carelessly off her chair. He ran over as quickly as he can and held her in his arms before he, too, feel drowsy and fell asleep. The entire group was asleep including the orchestra. The hours passed quickly through the night. The first spark of sunshine shone roughly through the tent's flaps.
As if it was destiny, Erk was the first to open his eyes. The sunlight weight heavily on his weary body since he was asleep on the floor all night. Erk wiped his eyes and then got up. His body was completely numb with no strength at all. Erk can still smell the fresh scent of food and ladies' perfume. The worst thing was he could not remember the events that occur last night. He rubbed his sore neck and started staring around. Everyone was still asleep. Erk thought hard. He could remember giving Serra the book and then, she ran out to read it and then he saw Priscilla fainting as he came to her rescue. Erk looked down at his lap to see Priscilla slowly recovering her conscious as well.
"Erk, my head…" Priscilla whined as she started rubbing her neck as well. Erk stand up and pulled her up to her feet. Priscilla was a bit weary on her feet as she fell in Erk's arm. Priscilla quickly apologized as she pulled away quickly right before Raven got up as well.
Everyone else seemed to regain conscious gradually as they all stood up. Lord Hector pulled Lady Ada up while Lord Eliwood pulled Ninian and Lyndis up. Every guy next to another lady pulled them up eventually. The ladies started pulling out their brushes from their pockets and brushing their hair quickly until one of them shrieked, "My gold is gone!!! My gold is gone!!!" It was a violinist from the orchestra as she checked her purse. Everyone started checking his or her pouches, wallets, and purses.
One by one, everyone started shouting or shrieking: "My money! My money!" or "Oh my gosh!!! I've been robbed!!!" or even "My GOLD is actually gone!!! All of it!!! Whoever did this will pay!!!" Some people even looked at Legault and Matthew, who emptied their pockets to show their innocence. Lady Ada curiously checked everyone in her group. "Four people are missing…" Now, everyone looked around, turning his or her full attention to the missing people instead.
Erk's face turned horribly pale. "Serra! SERRA!!!" Erk ran outside the tent immediately, wishing with all his heart that she is fully safe. Raven noticed someone else missing, "Lucius…" Raven and Canas started running out the door as well. Lyndis noticed the other two people missing. "Dorcus, and his friend Bartre are missing as well." Everyone started rushing out except for Lady Ada and Lord Hector.
"Hector, I noticed something about the food…" Ada started to explain.
Raven and Canas stopped in their tracks to see Erk kneeling on the ground, next to something. Raven can feel his heart beating loudly as he stepped closer towards Erk and the body next to him. Raven can feel everything flowing away from him slowly away. Luckily, his lungs reminded him to breath again. Raven stiffly held his arms across his chest and looked with teary eyes. Raven choked his tears back as he said with a miserable voice. "Lucius…he's dead, isn't he?" Erk didn't answer. Raven can feel a comforting hand on his shoulder. Rebecca was by his side. Their hands linked together instantly. Canas walked away, he had to get away from this awful sight.
"No!!! Dorcus!!!" Erk, Raven, and Rebecca can hear Lyndis shrieked from the other side of the tent. Rebecca let go of Raven's hand gently and ran over toward Lyndis. Raven looked down at the dirt. He hated everything. He hated life itself. All he wanted was his companion back…so many people have died in his life…he can't take it anymore. He would have gone crazy by now, but he didn't. Raven knew he must not go crazy and not commit suicide to go with his friend. He had two people who needed him to live. It was his sister, and Rebecca.
Erk can't feel anything at all, but stay by his buddy's side. What do you have to say to a person who is dead? The words can't come out, no words right enough can be said. Erk can feel someone by his side, but did not look to see whom it is. Priscilla sat next to Erk quietly, eyes fixed on Lucius. Lucius's hair was cut shorter, and his face was very pale. Each second that past seemed like an era. Eventually, Priscilla can hear Erk breathing more calmly. Priscilla wrapped her fingers around his. His fingers were numb and cold, but the warmth was still there. Erk can't help himself but blubber. Through his endless tears, Erk managed to choke a few words. "We must give Lucius a proper burial." Priscilla nodded as the two got up. Erk didn't let go of her fingers yet, Priscilla noticed.
Erk finally got out of his state of depression as he remembered the next person that entered his mind. Serra… there was no sign of her whatsoever. Erk let go of Priscilla's hand and ran off. Erk closed his eyes and prayed silently. Serra, please be safe. If you're dead too, I will never forgive myself. Please…Saint Elimine let her be safe…
After much search, Erk had failed miserably. There was no sign of Serra at all. He cannot believe what is happening. Erk headed back to the tents of their camp as he saw the entire group gathered around two small gravestones emerging from the ground. Erk walked over and kneeled solemnly to the ground in front of Lucius's gravestone. Erk did not know what to think anymore. He can feel salty tears forming in his eyes. The wind blew gently through the silent group of people. Nobody talked at all. Priscilla held onto Erk's hand again and again, he accepted it. Time was passing too fast, Erk knew that they were fighting in battles and eventually, some of them will die. But he would never imagine them dead here instead of the battlefield. He tried his hardest to remind himself there was always tomorrow. Finally, Lady Ada got up and brushed the grass off her skirt.
"Everyone, let's move! We're heading to Ostia!" Lady Ada announced through her sore voice. She headed to pack up her tent while more and more people got up and packing their stuff as well. Priscilla stayed by Erk's side though.
"Erk, are you all right?" Priscilla asked in a concern voice.
Erk shook his head and replied. "I'm sorry, Priscilla. I just don't know what to do. Lucius is dead as well as Dorcus and Serra is missing. I just don't know what to do, Priscilla." Priscilla tightened her grip on Erk.
"Erk, you still want to find her?" Priscilla asked in a misbelieve voice. Erk looked deep into Priscilla's eyes. "Priscilla?"
"Erk, I don't know if you don't see it or you're just trying not to see the truth." Priscilla responded. Erk got up and brushed the grass. Priscilla got up with him.
"Priscilla, what are you saying?" Erk asked, trying hard to avoid the hint Priscilla was giving him. Priscilla let go of Erk's hand and looked away.
"Isn't it kind of weird that Serra, besides Bartre, is missing?" Erk pretended not to hear that as Priscilla continued. "First of all, her belongings are gone. Second of all, the marks caused towards Canas and Dorcus were by magic, not by swords or lances. Third of all, Serra always had this liking for gold and jewelry and it happened that everyone's gold is missing. My jewels are missing as well. Another fact to add to that was she never get along with Lucius anyway except for one thing, the book." Priscilla was now facing Erk again.
"But why would she kill Dorcus? He never did anything to her!" Erk cannot believe the words out of his mouth. He was actually defending Serra.
"According to Lady Ada, the food have been mixed with sleeping powder." Erk suddenly remember the containers Serra showed him the other night. They were sleeping power.
"But remember one thing, Dorcus and Bartre never taste the food. I have reasons to believe that when Serra killed Lucius, the two came in and saw the whole thing. So she killed them too."
"Then where is Bartre's body?" Erk asked, still not believing any of this. He was still defending her.
"That's the thing I don't get. He must have ran off or something." Erk took in all of the information now. How could he have been so stupid? Serra never really loved him. She used him to get that book, the gold, the jewel, and to kill his dearest friend in which she was jealous about. Since Dorcus and Bartre saw what she did, she killed Dorcus and Bartre is probably injured somewhere. The sleeping powder, the cooking, the change of personality, and even his trust were all part of her plan. Did she want power so much as to do all this?
"Serra…How could you!" Erk exclaimed as Priscilla calm him down. Erk didn't know what got over him as he found himself hugging Priscilla gently. Tears formed in his eyes again.
"Erk, if you know she did all this, you must get revenge for your best friend." Priscilla persuaded as Erk nodded. They pulled away from each other.
"Yes."
"Swear in front of his grave."
Erk looked back at Lucius's grave. He cannot let her get away with this. He just cannot let her get away with this. Erk looked back at Priscilla. "I swear, in my honor to Saint Elimine, that I will kill Serra to avenge Lucius." Priscilla nodded as they hugged once again. Guy was watching the two from a tree nearby. Guy looked at his killing edge miserably.
In the meantime, Serra barely woken up from her slumber. Her head was hurting badly. Her whole body was sore. She looked around. Where is she? She is riding in a caravan with a driver and a girl her age by her side. The girl smiled at her. Serra can't comprehend this. What was she doing on this caravan?
"Hey there, you're awake. The name is Kimberly. What's yours?" The girl name Kimberly asked Serra. Serra pulled herself up and faced this bright girl.
"My name is Serra, bishop of Ostia! Where is this caravan heading?" Serra asked, watching the road slowly moving away from her from the back.
"What a coincidence! We're heading towards Ostia right now! Someone dropped you off at this caravan and paid us a handsome amount to take you away to Ostia." Kimberly explained as she started eating a cookie. Serra grabbed a cookie from the basket nearby and started munching on it. She must have missed the feast yesterday because she is terribly hungry.
"Really? Were there anyone like a purple-hair mage, for instance, with us?" Serra asked. This was so awkward. Why would anyone send her away? She didn't do anything bad yet.
"No, just me and you and the driver. All I know is that we're heading there by ourselves. We should arrive in Ostia by this lunch. You sure carry a lot of luggage." Kimberly commented on Serra's bag next to her. Serra noticed that her bag was awfully big but didn't bother to check. Maybe Lord Hector or Lady Ada thought she needed a break, and send her ahead to Ostia. Serra closed her eyes. Maybe she should just enjoy her time of freedom she has been given. Little did she know, it was quite the opposite.
Chapter 15 finished! A sad chapter indeed. I thought I add an orchestra to explain the music. I know it's very stupid, but I am willingly to try something new. I can't believe Serra and what she'd done! What could she been thinking??? Or is it? Questions: What happen to Bartre? Will Erk actually kill Serra? Will Erk fall in love with Priscilla? Who will Serra meet in Ostia? Answers in future chapters. Next chapter, Serra found life in Ostia a living hell. Priscilla and Erk are in a closer relationship since Serra was out of the way. Erk had sworn to kill Serra as well. Raven, Sain, and Rebecca's relationship have little problems again. Just adding a little twist to the story if you guys don't mind. This is how every relationship is so far:
Lord Hector likes Lady Ada, who hasn't said anything in the matter.
Lord Eliwood develops feelings for Lyndis, who has the same feelings as well. But Ninian also has the same feelings for Lord Eliwood.
Erk hates Serra, who had no idea he hates her. Erk might still love her, who knows? But Priscilla still loves Erk, whose relationship is going in the right direction.
Raven and Rebecca are now in love, while Sain still have plans. Raven also hated Serra as well.
Fiora and Kent are getting along beautifully, but are they in love yet? And would someone join this love triangle?
