I DON'T OWN ANYTHING FROM FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING
"Here we are! The Shepherd's garrison. Go on, make yourselves at home" said Lissa.
Robin and I started to looked around the garrison, but someone's voice interrupted our looking around.
"Lissa, my treasure! Are you all right? I've been on pins and needles!" said Maribelle rushing towards Lissa and giving her a hug.
"Hey, Maribelle" said Lissa while hugging her back.
"Oh, hey" yourself! I've sprouted 14 gray hairs fretting over you!" said Maribelle.
"Aw, you worry too much. I can handle a battle or two! ...Although I could do without the bugs and the bear barbecue..." Said Lissa smiling.
"Come on Lissa it wasn't that bad" I said while looking at the girl.
She just gave me flat stare, but didn't respond.
"Oh, and who may our new guests be?" said Maribelle.
"Oh, allow me introduce you to Robin our newest tactician and Alex our newest member they are the two new members that just joined the Shepherds." Said Lissa pointing at us.
"Hello Ms. Maribelle is a pleasure meeting you" I said while kissing her hand.
Maribelle only blushed a little but eventually said," it's nice to meet someone with some manners and the pleasure is duly returned." said Maribelle
Lissa just gave me a shock looked and my eyebrow twitch. Maribelle went to greet Robin and Lissa came up to me," Hey Alex what's with the whole noble talk" she whisper.
I just gave her a flat stare and said," Well I figure that she will have a better first opinion of me if I act like a noble and not my usual self." I said while looking around.
She nodded and said," True, but you looked weird acting all noble like".
I just gave her an unamused laugh and went to the other shephards.
"Hey there the names Vaike you might have heard of me from Chrome did he had any trouble without old teach tagging along" said Vaike.
I just gave a short laugh," Nah, we did pretty ok nice to meet you Vaike"
After we talk for a bit we heard someone speak," Beg pardon, but may we see the captain?" said Sumia.
After introductions were done Chrome enter the garrison.
"Captain Chrome you have returned" she step forward, but slip.
I quickly grab her hand and got her to steady herself.
"Ah, thank you so much" she said after regaining her balance.
"Don't mention it" I said smiling.
"Don't mention what?" she said confuse.
"Oh, sorry that's something from where I come from" I said sheeply.
"Ok everyone tomorrow we're marching to Regna Ferox" said Chrom.
"Hey Dante you there you been awfully quiet"
"Is nothing just checking something, but I won't know if it would be a problem"
"Problem? What problem?"
"Don't worry I'll tell you when I learn more"
"Dante, Hey Dante"
…
"This mission is strictly voluntary if you don't want…."
"I'll go" said Lissa as well as Vaike
"Me too" I heard someone say, but I could not tell where it came from.
"I'll go as well" said Robin while moving closer.
"I'll go as well can miss the fun now can I" I said smirking.
Chrome nodded," Very well we will march to Regna Ferox tomorrow in the morning everyone get a good night's rest."
I went to the room assigned to me and quickly laid down on my bed I stare at the ceiling thinking," Ok I can do this I know the way the games go, so I have a good chance at surviving this. I just hope they never find out about my knowledge" I thought worryingly before I went to sleep.
I woke up and quickly and got dress as I was walking I started to get hungry I didn't know who I have to tell to get some food so I just ask one of the maids in the castle to point me to the kitchen they gave me funny looks, but point me in the direction of the kitchen.
I went inside and saw that there were no people in the kitchen. I just gave a shrug and went inside I try to find something to eat then I realize that I don't know how to use any of the things here and that anything I knew how to use was probably not invented yet. I facepalm at my stupidity before I tried to make something simple like a milkshake I try to look for something to mix the bananas when I found something that kind of resemble a blender but instead of button there was a crank attach to a bowl like container with blades on the inside. I grab some bananas, milk, and sugar and throw them in there and grab a lid and put it on top of it. I spin the crank for a couple of minutes until I was satisfied.
When I took of the lid I was glad that I was able to make something resembling a banana milkshake. I pour the milkshake in a cup and happily drink it, happy that I have something that reminds me of home.
I kept drink it until one of the maids came in and froze when she saw me. The maid had long brown hair that reach to her back and rounded green eyes I just looked at her and there was an awkward silence until I spoke,"Ummm…..hello there don't mind me I just made myself something" I said awkwardly.
"Ohh….pardon me for my rudeness Sir Alex I was just surprise you were in the kitchen" she said quickly. I gave her a surprise looked," Sir Alex? Why do you call me Sir?" I said confuse.
She just looked at me strangely," You are part of the Shepherds correct?" she said. I nodded at her," Anyone who's a member of the Shepherds are treated with the outmost respect in Ylisee especially in the castle" she said.
"Hmm, so being in the Shepherds is almost the same thing as being knighted back on Earth" I thought surprise.
"Excuse me sir if you don't mind me asking what you are doing in the kitchen?" she said I gave her a nervous laugh," Well I didn't know who to ask to get something to eat, so… I just ask direction to the kitchen" I said .
"You do know you could have asked one of the maids for breakfast instead of coming all the way here" she said struggling to keep her laughter down. I just blush and looked away," Well I didn't want to bother them when they were doing their cleaning" I said.
" I need to remember that Fire Emblem Awakening is probably set up to resemble Renaissance or Victoria Era in my world's timeline" I thought
"It's our job to take care of the needs of the people living here Sir Alex is no trouble at all" she said smiling she then look at my milkshake with confusion," By the way may I ask to what you are drinking? is a little too early to been drinking alcohol" she said.
I looked at her then to my drink," Oh, no this isn't alcohol this is a milkshake", she gave me a confuse look,"Milkshake?" she said," Yeah is pretty good is pretty much bananas, milk, and sugar blended together do you want to try some miss….." I stop, realizing I still haven't asked her name.
"Oh my apologies I haven't introduce myself my name is Emerald de la Rosa is nice to meet you Sir Alex" she gave me a bow.
"Hello there Ms. Rosa as I was saying do you want to try some?" I said holding my cup to her. I saw hesitation come across her face before she walked towards me and took the cup from my hand she looked at me then the cup and slowly drank from it. I saw her slow drinking speed up after her first swallow and then before I knew it she drank the whole cup.
When she put the cup down I saw that there was some milk still on the top of her lips which cause me to cover my mouth with my hand to cover up my laughter. She looked at me and asked," what's so funny Sir Alex" I shakily told her," ahh…you have….some milk…here" I said pointing to the top of my lip she blushed and quickly got a napkin and wipe her mouth clean and gave me an unamused look.
"Ignoring that embarrassing moment, I have to say this Milkshake? You called it is surprisingly delicious do you mind telling me how to prepare it" she said.
"Is no problem like I said you only take some bananas, add milk, and sugar and blended and boila instant Milkshake" I said pointing to the place where I blended the milkshake.
She walked to the machine where I blended the milkshake and gave me an amused look," What?" I said as she kept staring at me," Sir Alex you do know that this machine is use to shred vegetables to make salad right?" I just gave her a nervous look and turn my head away from her.
"Oh come on how am I supposed to know that I thought this was some kind of a past blender that was invented in here unlike my world" I thought.
" Ahh, yeah of course I did I just thought that…..please don't tell anyone about this especially Lissa she won't let me live it down" I said begging her.
She just gave a short laugh," Of course Sir Alex, but only if you won't tell anyone of that little incident with the milkshake" she said I quickly nodded in relief.
"You know you're a lot different than I thought you will be Sir Alex" Emerald said while looking at me. I just gave her a confuse look," What do you mean Ms. Rosa?" she smiled," Well I thought you will be like most people of higher status that won't pay attention to a simple maid like myself, well minus the Exalt and the royal siblings most royals don't treat their servants like friends" she said.
I just shrug," I don't really cared about status like that I believe that people who judge people solely by their status won't really make good friends." She looked at me for some time which cause me to start sweating.
Then she finally answer," Well I'm happy to hear that Sir Alex I'm glad to hear someone of high status that won't discriminate based on wealth."
"Oh you don't have to keep calling me Sir Alex all the time just Alex is fine Ms. Rosa" I said smiling. She quickly got flustered," No, that wouldn't be right you are a member of the Shepherds you deserve to be treated with respect."
I just gave her a small frown," To me that whole status thing doesn't mean anything to me I rather have people called me Alex and be my friend than people calling me Sir Alex and be too scared to approach me thinking that I would judge someone."
She gave a surprise looked, but quickly turn into a warm smile," Of course if you say so Si…I mean Alex, but in return you have to called me Emerald not Ms. Rose" I gave her a smile," Sure Emerald" I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost time to leave for Regna Ferox,"Ahh, I need to prepare to leave for Regna Ferox" I looked at the blender seeing that I haven't wash it yet. Emerald saw that I was looking at it," Oh, don't worry about that I'll clean it up, you go ahead and prepare for your trip" she said.
"Thank you very much Emerald if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask" I said walking out of the kitchen and running towards the Garrison.
-Emerald POV-
I saw where Sir… I mean Alex walked off from leaving with a happily smile. I quickly shook my head and started cleaning the machine he used to make the so called Milkshake.
"A person with a high rank almost equivalent to a noble making friends with a servant and doesn't want other people to think that he is someone of high rank I know officially seen it all I definitely need to tell my husband about this." I said smiling
-Alex POV-
I quickly made it to the garrison where the rest of the shepherds were already assembled. Chrome looked at me entering," There you are Alex I was wondering if you were still asleep" he said I just sheeply rub the back of my head.
"In any case is everyone ready to march to Regna Ferox?" Chrome asked.
Everyone said yes he nodded," Great, Now shepherds to Regna Ferox" he said and we quickly march out of the garrison and moved towards the direction of Regna Ferox.
