Lucina suddenly found herself looking at the plains just outside of Southtown with Chrom and Robin. She had been there a few times herself because she knew how special the place was to her father. However, this time, at this sacred location, Chrom had his Falchion pointed at Robin. Lucina knew Robin must have done something truly abhorrent to upset Chrom, because her father never got enraged at the white haired tactician. In fact, even after Robin's failure to rescue Emmeryn, Chrom did not as much as mutter a single bad word at the man. Robin had taken full responsibility for the failure, yet Chrom treated Robin all the same.

"Chrom? What are you doing?" Robin asked his best friend. Although Lucina could see Chrom with hatred burning in his eyes, Robin seemed as nonchalant as he could. Robin probably believed there was no way Chrom, out of all people, would attempt to murder him.

"Stay where you are, Robin. I have no choice. I must kill you." Chrom exclaimed.

"What?! What madness is this?!"

"You… you slept with my daughter. You… got my daughter pregnant!"

"Chrom! I already said I was sorry! It was an accident."

Lucina could only look on at with trepidation. In her mind, what she was seeing was impossible. There was no way her father would be this overprotective of her. If he was willing to risk her daughter's life in battle, why would he care about what they did behind his back? It was so unlike him. Also, this scenario was like the same time she also tried to kill Robin. No, it was exactly the same scenario. Lucina wanted to intervene and stand between the two to get them to stop fighting, but for some reason, she found herself unable to interfere. All she could do was watch the drama between the two unfold.

"NOOOOOOO. STOP IT YOU TWO!" Lucina screamed, but it was no use. The two could not hear her. They could not even see her. It was almost as if she doesn't exist.

Meanwhile, Chrom continued, his voice still filled with the same disdain towards Robin:

"I was not certain myself, until now… that you were her secret lover. I had trusted you as your best friend. But now, you are nothing to me now. Your end has come!"

"Chrom, wait."

But it was no use. Chrom shouted "Now I'm angry!" and charged at Robin with his Falchion. Robin did not even attempt to dodge or block the hit, and Chrom stabbed Robin straight through the stomach. Even that move was unlike her father's fighting skill. Chrom used slashes instead of stabs as his main method of attack. Lucina began to scream, and the last thing she remembered before everything went black was Robin slumping down to the ground like a ragdoll as he slowly had his life sapped out of him.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Lucina screamed and suddenly shot up in her bed. She thrashed in her bedsheets, tangling herself up in a mess. She was also breathing heavily, with her heartbeat beating way faster than normal. Looking around, she did not know what was going on and started panicking. How did she manage to teleport from the outskirts of Southtown to her personal bedroom? It was then she realized it was all a nightmare and nothing actually happened.

"But that dream, it was like the exact same scenario that happened between me and Robin, but with my father instead. He… he actually killed Robin." Lucina thought back in her head. "And all because of my secret love life? This has to be my subconscious playing tricks on me. Father would never kill Robin no matter what he did."

Lucina got off her bed and looked out the window. The sun was beginning to rise on the outskirts of the capital, and Lucina suspected most of the Shepherds and children were all beginning to wake up from their beauty sleep. Although she took a bath last night, she decided she was going to do another one again this morning just to calm herself down from her vision. After all, such luxuries could be afforded now. She took off her nightgown and hopped into a hot bath, soothing herself in the warm water.

In the bathtub, Lucina was still reeling about what she saw in her dreams. Although Miriel assured her that dreams were not prophecies and that nightmares were just people's mind playing with their worst fears, Lucina was still paranoid her father would do such a thing. Miriel probably did not consider Tiki's powers to allow people to see the future or communicate with others in their sleep. After all, she does not know about Tiki's magical powers until she met her and only came to conclusions based on her experiments.

Sitting in the warm water, she realized she was going to have to be there when Robin gets revived. If everything in the dream was correct, Chrom was going to kill her "boyfriend" the moment he comes back. Although she felt the chance Chrom would actually hurt Robin was infinitesimal, she already decided she was not going to lose Robin again. Losing him once was already painful enough. There will probably a way to reason with her father, and if things actually got out of hand, she will simply have to step in between the two and protect Robin. There is no other way.

After spending around half an hour in the soothing warm water, Lucina got out and began to get dressed for the day. Looking at the location of the sun, the blue haired princess decided it was probably time to get up and go eat breakfast. Lucina exited her room and began to walk towards the dining hall. Instantly, she began to think about what she was going to say to the other children. She was so worried about Robin that she forgot about the incident last night. However, turning around the corner, she saw all the children standing in the hallway, blocking the path, waiting for her.

Lucina was caught off guard. She knew she would have to explain herself soon or later for last night, but she had not expected all of them to be waiting for her. Immediately, Lucina turned around and thought about going a longer way to get to her destination. She began walking in the opposite direction. However, before she could even take her third step, dandelion petals started appearing in front of her face, and when she realized what was going on, it was already too late. Her younger sister made one of her 'dramatic entrances', and Cynthia appeared in front of Lucina and blocked her way to the dining hall. Lucina did not even know where her younger sister was hiding before she revealed herself, but she had no time to worry about such details now. By the looks of it, the children had this all planned out, and Cynthia's entrance was the backup plan in case Lucina tried to run. Lucina immediately attempted to sidestep Cynthia but she predicted her older sister's movement and stepped where she attempted to escape. Looking behind her with all the children blocking the other side of the hallway, Lucina knew the children trapped her.

"Cynthia, get out of my way! I am not in a good mood right now."

Cynthia, however, expected this reaction. She instead reached out to hug her sister. As her arms wrapped around her sister, Cynthia somehow found herself having a harder time hugging Lucina for some reason. Was it because she gained weight because food is actually abundant in this timeline? Cynthia wanted to ask her older sister if she had gotten fatter, but decided there was more important stuff to talk about. Instead, she started out with:

"Lucina, I am so sorry for teasing you about your crush on Robin. If I knew how you were going to react, we would have never said such things. Also, we will stop and admit you don't have a crush on Robin, okay?"

All the other children behind her also repeated the same statement, apologizing for their earlier behavior.

Lucina's had to smile at Cynthia and her friends for their warm reaction. She even forgot she was mad at her sister just a few seconds ago. "Thanks for the kind words, but this was partially my fault too. Also, you don't have to lie about Robin. What you said…. is probably true. In fact, too true."

"No, Lucina, we may have just pushed the joke too far for you. If you loved Robin that much, you two would have surely already been married during the war. After all, that's what most of our parents did during the war. Just because you two fought together a lot in battles doesn't mean you liked him. He probably was just concerned for your safety and wanted you nearby."

"Cynthia, I already told you. You don't have to lie to me to make me feel comfortable. I… What you said at the dinner table was pretty much true. I can't deny it. The only reason I overreacted was because I thought nobody knew. I was angrier at the fact that everybody knew about something I thought was a secret."

"So… you do actually like Robin?"

Lucina stopped to think about the question. She decided she tried to hide this relationship for far too long, and it would probably just be better if she actually told everybody. That would probably let a big burden off her back.

"Yes. I do. In fact, very much. We were almost like a married couple. That was how strong the romance between us was. He even asked me to marry him. Of course, I had to hide it from my parents so I couldn't just agree. However, my mother found out about it because I was so sad he sacrificed himself. Now that I think about it, there was probably no reason to hide it. My mother actually did not mind and was actually happy I had a 'boyfriend'. I am sorry I mislead you about this. Thinking back, I'm sorry I grew a little distant from all you. You have all helped me in the future, but when we reunited, I… I know I fought with Robin every battle. I let him give the orders for you. I'm sorry for abandoning all of you. But it just felt so good to be relieved of being a leader. I… I was never that good of a war leader. Robin… Robin did a way better job than I ever could, and I knew you were all in safe hands under his command. Now that he is gone, I feel like a part of me died, and I couldn't tell anybody." Lucina started tearing up after finishing her last sentence, once again grateful for Robin's promise: all the Shepherds were going to come out of this war alive.

All the other children stared at her. Lucina had almost afraid she made a mistake admitting her love for Robin. However, the children were sympathetic and immediately rushed over for a group hug with Lucina, except Severa, who chose to watch from a distance. It lasted only a minute, but to Lucina, seeing the warm reaction from her friends made her feel like an hour has passed. After they separated, all of them began to form a circle and discussed about what to do. They all decided they were going to comfort Lucina and say something nice about Robin. Severa was the only one who objected, but because the majority of the children agreed, she was ruled out.

Cynthia started first. "Oh sis, you didn't have to hide all those emotions. We could have all helped you! Because of that, we have all decided to say something nice about him to cheer you up. I guess I will go first. I just want to tell you not to worry about Robin. I know he will come back. He will definitely come back with a dramatic flower petal entrance like a hero!"

"That's nice of you Cynthia. Thanks for the kind words."

Her cousin Owain was next. "Oh Lucina. Heed not what others say of you. Believe in yourself. Believe in your emotions. Don't hide it. Your amorous love will be the most a mammoth, significant chapter in the bulkiest Ylissian plays."

"Oh Owain, you flatter me with your descriptive metaphors."

Inigo continued, "Lucina. I'm sorry about that at the dinner table. I know it must be hard when your love is gone, but you're not going to die alone. He will be back. I know it."

"Thanks Inigo. Also, I hope you forgive me for what I said to you yesterday at the dinner table. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings."

"No Lucina, I just want to see you happy. You did not actually hurt my feelings that much. After all, I am pretty used to having my feelings hurt, as all the girls I talk to reject me."

Brady was next, "Robin ain't dead, Lucina. I've gotta say I do like that ol' tactician, so I feel ya, girl! Don't lose hope, he gonna be back soon."

"Thanks Brady, I know he will be back."

Kjelle was next, "Lucina. I might not know as much as love as others, but stay strong. Robin will be back. Naga simply put him on a trial to see how strong his bonds are. Also, I would have never been mad at you for letting Robin make our decisions. I could see you were relieved. I'm just happy you found your love."

"Thanks, Kjelle. Sometimes you should probably just not take things too seriously and try to relax. Maybe you can understand the feeling of love then."

Gerome continued where the other children left off. "Lucina, although I disagreed with you on a lot of things such as choosing to interact with our parents in this timeline, I do have to say you have changed my mind on altering fate. If you could do it, so can Robin."

"Thanks for the kind words Gerome. And yes, I didn't want to intervene either in this timeline unless it was absolutely necessary, but I had no choice in the end."

Yarne was up "Robin… He ensured my species did not become extinct. For that I will always be grateful for. He has done so much to keep me safe in battle, and I hope one day I will see him again. You have my sympathy. Robin… is a heroic man."

"Of course Yarne, glad to hear that. We will make sure the taguels will not go extinct. I know my father has sworn to protect you, your family, and the remaining survivors of your species to the best of his ability."

Laurent stepped up "Lucina, I hypothesize the plausibility of Robin's reinstatement will arrive expeditely. May you envision him posthaste."

"I have no idea what you just said, Laurent, but thank you."

Noire was next "Lucina… I… I… I do think you and Robin look cute together. May he'll come back soon. Also, please don't harm yourself. Okay? P.p.p..please, Lucina. We'll be there for you."

"Noire, I would never harm myself. I will always be here."

Nah was the second to last, and she said, "Lucina, as a manakete, I can definitely sympathize with you. My mother has seen too many of her loved ones die, and I can see when her heartbreaks. Lucina, stay strong!"

"Aww. Thanks, Nah. You are all making me cry right now."

Lucina actually had tears in her eyes. The children's reactions were way better than what she had expected. Looking back, she probably did overreact. Maybe a little too much. The children were all accepting of her secret love life. Lucina realized that Severa was the last one who did not give a statement, so she searched the crowd for Severa. She was standing with a grumpy face, and her arms crossed in front of her. Lucina did not understand what she was upset about, but she decided to ask her anyway. "Severa, you're the only person who has not shared their opinion on Robin. Do you have something to say?"

"Lucina, I'll never forgive you for that. You… in love with Robin? I suspected as much, but no. It's unacceptable. I will not say anything about him."

Everybody gasped in shock at her statement. Even Lucina was surprised to hear such a statement. After hearing so much support, Severa's cold remark was something unexpected. "Severa? Is something wrong?"

"Of course something is wrong Lucina! You falling in love with Robin! What is this nonsense? Besides, does he even love you back?"

"Well, yeah, Severa, the feeling is mutual. It's not nonsense because of what Robin has done for me and for all of us. I mean if you think about it…"

"Are you stupid? What has Robin ever done for us? He's gotten himself killed in the most asinine way!"

"Severa, please calm down. This is not something for us to argue about…"

"You just think you are the only one suffering right now, aren't you? Have you ever thought about your poor old friends? You abandoned them for your secret lover. In fact, you've probably seduced and slept with him. Also, you're probably the reason he is dead right now! He probably felt so guilty for becoming Grima in our future that he sacrificed himself out of guilt just for you!"

"Severa! This is not true. I would never seduce Robin. Also, why would you say I was the deciding factor for why he sacrificed himself? You should know how hard it was on me after he did that."

"Gosh, you think you are so oppressed, Lucina. You are not a victim. I am going to walk away from this conversation. You can come apologize to me when you are thinking more clearly!"

Severa stormed away in the opposite direction and walked into her room. She slammed the door shut, cursing Lucina and her superficial 'love' for the tactician.

Lucina looked around at her friends. All of them were just as shocked as she was. Laurent showed no emotions, but then again, that was normal of him.

"Don't listen to her sis" Cynthia finally said, breaking the silence. "She doesn't mean what she says. I think she's just jealous you have a boyfriend and she does not. Come on, just ignore her, let's all get breakfast and enjoy the beautiful day today. After all, we no longer need to worry about Grima anymore."

Lucina agreed with her younger sister and all of them began walking towards the dining hall except Severa. However, on the way, she couldn't help but wonder what Severa had said. Did she know the truth? Or was that just one lucky guess? The part about sleeping was Robin was actually true, but she wouldn't exactly say she seduced Robin. If Severa defined seduction very loosely, anything Lucina did to entice Robin was just seducing him. She knew her good looks, with her beautiful face and cerulean hair falling down her back made her very attractive to Robin. That would be seduction to Severa. Also, how could she think I was the reason Robin sacrificed himself? What kind of a person does she think I am? Lucina shook her head and tried to forget her words. After all, Severa always had a very harsh personality, and she probably just said such statements out of spite.

"Now onto breakfast. And after that the talk with my father. I'll worry about Severa later." Lucina grumbled as she realized she had a long day ahead of her. She sent a silent prayer to Naga, hoping her father would not act like she imagined he would in her nightmare.
