Enjoy!
Chapter 31: The Other Plegian Family
"Good day milord!"
"A beautiful day isn't it milady!"
"Princess Noire looking as radiant as ever!"
Chrom smiled at all of his people, complimenting the family he has. When he had to explain his harem to the people, Chrom took note of many men gasping in total disbelief while women wished they were part of it as well. His subjects really do love him for some reason, even if he had a plegian mage, a valmese wyvern rider, a manakete and taguel part of the harem.
"So where are you taking us?" Tharja demanded darkly.
"M-Mother y-your making father nervous." Noire pointed out.
Chrom got used to Tharja's creepy antics towards Robin but now it is all aimed towards him. He could understand why the tactician was freaked out by the woman but she was dedicated as well. For some reason he had some irrational thought coming out.
"So thinking how you could ravish both me and Robin at the same time?" smirked the dark mage.
"Well it is natural since I do have a lot of wives." Chrom answered with a gulp.
Noire just stared at her parents in awe and fascination. During the war they never had a lot of time to spend as a complete family. She gulped nervously looking at all the other families walking together, though the children were much younger.
"F-Father I'm hungry." Noire said suddenly.
"Well some snacks along the would not hurt, what do you want Noire?" Chrom asked warmly.
"S-Sweetbread!" she beamed up.
"And you Tharja?"
"You." she answered automatically.
All the Shepherds knew how blunt Tharja could be. However Chrom never expected her to be so bold at a public area. There was only one way to react.
"W-What?!" he gasped.
"I said whatever you're getting as well." Tharja corrected herself, though she did giggle...darkly.
"R-Right." Chrom nodded.
After getting their quick snacks to eat, Chrom and his family continued on their supposed destination. As they walked further and further away, Chrom could see how people saw Tharja as cute. She looked so withdrawn and anti social as she clutched her tome to her chest. Plus she did tend to mutter things away with a glum look. Though the people don't know that Tharja did hide a very well developed body hidden within her cloak. Chrom did noticed how Noire seemed more developed than the rest of her sisters.
"F-Father we're here!" Noire pointed out.
They were on nearby hill with a good view of the capital. Chrom could see the busy market district with constant people arriving and leaving. A good view of the castle is right in front of him as well.
"Such a nice view isn't it Tharja?" grinned the exalt.
"Better view is your backside." she muttered back.
Chrom can only sigh at her remarks. Ever since Robin's disappearance, Tharja's 'dedication' has been switched from the tactician to the man himself. He didn't mind it at all, since Tharja was giving him attention but now he knew what Robin had to endure during the war.
"I-I uh picked it for the three of us!" Noire got their attention.
He glanced at his nervous daughter. He knew how dark the future was for her but to end up as a shy and nervous person, Chrom wondered what tragedy happened to make her like this. With a quick shook of his head, Chrom realized that doesn't matter anymore, what mattered was the here and now.
"Thank you Noire you are so thoughtful." Chrom smiled warmly, and looked at Tharja for a response. The woman's eyes stared back with curiosity. "C'mon say something."
"It's nice I guess." she grumbled with a pout.
"Y-Your welcome, m-mother, f-father!" Noire smiled and blushed. "C-Can I c-call you d-daddy? L-Like Severa?"
"Whatever makes you comfortable." replied Chrom.
Despite almost being an adult, Noire, like all of her silbings and cousin, is still childish by heart.
"So a picnic here? Sounds cliche." Tharja said.
"Hey c'mon don't like that it's the thought that counts, right?" Chrom sternly asked.
"Fine I'll hex myself on enjoying this." she muttered.
As Chrom ignored Tharja's chants, he helped his daughter set up the picnic. He was surprised by the array of food, Noire made. As they place the desserts at the end of the line up Chrom complimented his child. "Looks good I can't wait to eat!"
"W-Well L-Lucy's cooking i-is just l-like her fashion s-sense, S-Sevy and Cynthia c-can cook g-good but they get distracted e-easily. B-Brady is the one t-that taught me and Kjelle i-is..K-Kjelle." Noire sighed heavily with a smile.
With a nervous chuckle from Noire's description, Chrom was ready to take a good bit on a sandwich. Thus all of them were enjoying the quiet peaceful moment of having lunch by a hill. Once they were done, Noire fell asleep her head on her mother's lap.
"She really is just a brat." Tharja grumbled with a slight look of concern.
"Not exactly a brat but she is still a child by heart." Chrom corrected her.
The entering silence wasn't awkward between the two of them. It was more of a comforting silence, since Tharja really never was a social butterfly. Chrom welcomed her presence even if it was meant to intimidate some guest. The sunset was taking a shine on them.
"T-Thaja about t-the other day..." Chrom began suddenly.
"Mmm?" she hummed staring at Noire's sleeping face.
"Thank you the sound proof hex on my door." thanked the king. "It was a relief no one was disturbed at all."
"Yeah, yeah." the dark mage blushed in delight. "It would've been more fun with Robin..."
"I miss her." replied Chrom quietly.
"Who doesn't miss the woman? She is perfect." Tharja laughed in delight.
He knew her obsession with Robin was very questionable but to see the tactician in a very bright light, Chrom did not expect that at all. Chrom knew she was far from perfect, he could see where Morgan got her personality from, minus the endless jokes and teases. She was very brilliant when it comes to strategy and battle but when it comes to blending into society, Robin was hopeless. She always masked her errors with chuckles and jokes with her friends.
"So another go?" asked Tharja.
"E-Excuse me?" wondered Chrom.
Tharja simply rolled her eyes. "Maybe Noire wants to see how we made her, hehehe."
"Oh gods please no"
END AN: Well that's a family moment...I guess...for Tharja's standards.
So after I'm done with this fic...which will be a while...I might make a self insert story. Any SI fics I've read here, or other media, they are really popular...hmmm my hipster side is like don't do it, but every other side is like DO IT! Oh I meant like the wake up as a character in that show/game kinda SI not the you yourself gets thrown into the world somehow. Just an idea for a next fic but I still got other stories to finish...check them out if you want..if you like Code Geass or Naruto.
Well that's that and MORE FAMILY INTERACTIONS SOON!
Enjoy your day/night!
