AN: Alright, new chapter! I feel like I'm doing a decent job of updating this frequently. Anyway, this chapter contains Takumi acting like an asshole, so sorry if you dislike the interpretation, I just feel like that's what he'd do. So, uh, yeah.
"Alright, so you don't remember anything about yourself?" I asked, to which the stranger nodded. I looked over to Felicia. "So, what do we do now?"
"Milord, maybe we should bring her to the palace and have a better healer look over her?" Felicia advised, to which I nodded. The three of us then started to make our way back to the palace.
When we finally arrived, night had fallen. Before entering, I prayed and hoped to whatever powers that be that we would only be halted by the guards and they would let us in shortly after. After explaining the situation to the guards, they allowed us entry into the castle without hesitation. It's a good thing most of the castle held no ill will towards me.
"Well, it looks like the traitor and his bitch have finally returned!" Of course, my day just had to be ruined. Sighing, I looked over to our companion, seeing a confused look on her face. I sighed and turned back to the aggressor, Takumi. He had a nasty sneer on his face and seemed to only be paying attention to me.
"So, why do you stay here? Why don't you just head back on to Nohr? If you won't choose us over Nohr, then why don't you just leave, because we certainly don't want you here. Hell, why don't you try again? Better yet, I'll make sure you can actually get the job done this time." Takumi spat, doing his best to get to me. I kept my head down. Takumi then glanced over to our guest.
"Oh? Who's this? One of your Nohrian friends sent here to kill us?" Takumi said, glaring at her. For once in my life, I actually made my own decision.
"Don't you dare accuse her of anything!" I shouted. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, Felicia was by my side, and something warm was dripping from my nose.
"Don't you dare talk back to me ever again, traitor." Takumi snarled, before walking away. I lay there, in a small puddle of blood and tears, while Felicia and our mystery girl trying to comfort me.
It was late at night, and Felicia had just shown our guest to her quarters for the night. Felicia had left me alone, most likely to get something for my nose. But, I was thinking about something other than my nose. Was I really not wanted here? Sighing to myself, I saw that Felicia had left one of her daggers here accidentally. Everyone had been doing a really good job of keeping me away from dangerous objects. Thinking of what to do, I slowly brought the dagger up to my wrist, but didn't move it. I was thinking of what I should do before I heard the door click and open. I turned my head to the door. Orochi was standing there with Felicia, both of them standing there in shcok at what I was about to do. I felt tears of shame run down my cheeks.
"Corrin, why are you-!" Orochi exclaimed, rushing over to where I was and snatching the dagger out of my hand and throwing it to the side. I put my head in my hands while Orochi had me sit on the bed and sat next to me, soothingly rubbing circles on my back as I kept bawling. Once I had stopped, Orochi decided to question me.
"Corrin, why?" I stayed silent.
"Corrin, why would you try some thing like that again." I sighed.
"'m not wanted here..." I muttered. Orochi's eyes widened.
"Why wouldn't you be wanted here? Who would say something like that?" I sighed again.
"Takumi." I mumbled. The pieces in Orochi's mind started to fall into place.
"Wait, is he the one who hurt you nose?" I nodded. "Why would he do something like that all of a sudden?"
"It's been going on for awhile..." I said, looking away. Orochi gasped.
"Corrin, why wouldn't you tell anyone?" Orochi asked, perplexed. I shrugged.
"I didn't want to bother anyone..." I muttered. Orochi turned to Felicia.
"Felicia, did you know about this?" Felicia sighed.
"Yes, but lord Corrin was worried something would happen to me if I told anyone." Felicia explained. Orochi sighed.
"I'm gonna have to talk to Takumi about this." Orochi said exasperatedly.
"But-" I began, before Orochi interrupted me.
"Corrin, I'm not going to ignore this. If you tried to kill yourself, it's definitely a big deal." I opened my mouth to protest once more, but realized there was no way out.
"Alright..." I said, looking out the window into the darkness. As I did, however, I thought I saw something move in it. I moved closer to the window to get a better look, but the movement had subsided.
"Milord, what are you looking at?" Felicia asked, inquiring about what I was doing.
"Oh, I thought I saw something." I said, turning away. What I didn't notice, however, were two figures standing close to the window.
AN: So, uh, yeah. I don't know why but something feels a bit off about how I wrote this chapter, but I'm probably just being paranoid. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, the next one should be up within the next few days.
