Robin's POV

Two years after the defeat of Gangrel…

*YAWN* I groaned stretching awake.

"Morning Robin." Lissa said stirring on my chest.

She sat up and fixed her nightgown, her hair was all ruffled up as were her clothes.

"Last night was pretty fun huh?" she giggled kissing my neck.

"It was…something all right." I smiled hugging her "But we really should get up."

"Come on baby…just a little more…" Lissa said kissing my chest.

She always knows how to push my buttons…

Lissa started kissing more aggressively, straddling my waist, she lifted her nightgown off and put my hands over her pert little breasts.

"Don't squeeze so hard." She giggled as I teased her back.

Lissa and I started making love; she was wild in bed, far more aggressive then her usual public attitude. She usually nearly crushed me by bouncing up and down on my hips.

"Oh Robin!" Lissa moaned "Harder!"

"UGH!"

"Hey!" someone said opening the door "Sorry!"

"AHH!" Lissa screamed jumping under the covers "What is wrong with you Chrom, don't you know how to knock?!"

"How about you lock your door if you're gonna do something like that!"

"Don't you know what spontaneity means?!" Lissa snapped "Or is your marriage dried up already!"

"What a great way to wake up." I sighed getting out of bed "We'll be down in a second Chrom."

I got dressed and headed down to the throne room.

"What is wrong with him?" Lissa yelled "He forgets what it's like to be in love."

"I pretty sure he still remembers, he does have a new born baby and all." I said.

Lissa went off one way, still grumbling about how Chrom interrupted are private time; I headed to Chrom's throne room and found him talking with Raimi, Flavia's aid.

"A message form Flavia, is something amiss?"

"I'm afraid so, the khans request your presence at a summit as soon as possible."

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Our western neighbors, Valm, are not being so neighborly." She explained :The emperor, who they call Conqueror, has launched his warships."

"An invasion?" I said "Are you sure?"

"The khan can explain more in Ferox." Raimi said.

"What do you think of it sire?" Frederick spoke up.

"Seems like ill business, we'll go meet with Flavia."

"Chrom…" Sully walked in and she didn't look very happy.

"I know what your gonna say but we owe them a great debt." Chrom said "I need more facts before I decide what to do."

"What am I supposed to do, sit around and fluff the pillows?" the red head mumble "Or maybe knit a blanket to smother you with."

"Are they having problems?" I asked Lissa who walked in.

"No more than any marriage, but when you husband is a king it adds more stress I suppose."

"I'm coming with you." Sully said.

"Absolutely not, Lucina is still a new born, she needs her mother."

"Tsk…" Lissa mumbled "It's not fair…"

"What dear."

"She…was born with the brand, I still…."

"Don't start this again." I mumbled back.

"She doesn't need me, she just needs milk and there are plenty of nurses for that, it's how you were raised." Sully countered "Seems like you and Lissa turned out fine to me. She takes after you, she's strong."

"Sully please-"

"Try and stop me." His wife smirked "What are you gonna do sneak out on your own, I'm pretty fast when motivated, I'll catch up."

"Just give up Chrom." My wife laughed "You're not gonna win, you never win your arguments with Sully."

"Not helping Lissa!" Chrom snapped giving his little sister the evil eye "Fine, just promise to stay out of danger. I don't want her to lose her parents while young."

"I know relax." Sully said kissing the ruler.

"I'll go ahead and assemble an escort." Frederick said walking off.

"Thank you Frederick."

"Well somebody makes a fine ruler." I laughed "You've come a long way since the field." I smiled.

"Have I truly changed?" my best friend asked.

"Yes and no." I said walking with him "but you've grown as a leader, and a father."

"I just try to do my best, it helps knowing I have people like you to support me." he sighed "Speaking of good rulers."

He looked at me.

"How goes being a Prince?"

"It's all royal meetings and shit, but as your adviser I do that anyway" I sighed "I understand your complaints on a whole different level, anyway, Lissa's the real royal, I'm just the arm candy."

"Don't say that."

"She married a guy with no memories, people don't really respect that." i mumbled.

"Well I didn't marry a high class noble so I guess people don't respect me too." Chrom laughed.

A day later.

We marched to Ferox, as usual it was snowing and freezing.

"Ah it's you lot."

"Long time no see." Chrom said shaking Lon'qu's hand "How are you doing."

"Fine." He shrugged.

"It's a pleasure to see all of you again." A girl with rabbit ears said "It has been some time."

"Panne?" I said "What are you doing here?"

"I live here." She smiled "With my husband."

"You're married?" Lissa asked "To who?"

The taguel and Lon'qu looked at each other and blushed.

"What of it?" the man grumbled.

"Perk up." His wife said "Lady Flavia is inside."

We walked passed the…happy? couple and went inside.

"Panne and Lon'qu." Lissa said "How strange."

"They are certainly a unique pair." Chrom shrugged.

"They seemed happy." I said.

"Flavia." Chrom said as we entered her throne room "Sorry for the delay."

"You're here, that's what matters."

"Is it really true that Valmese warships have set sail, what can you tell us?"

"The details are hazy." She said "Give me a sec…Oaf get in here! Your boyfriend is here!"

"Uhh…." Chrom just stood slack jawed.

Lissa and I were both giggling like school girls.

"I bet she's just jealous of their relationship." Lissa whispered.

"Those two should just do it already."

"I can hear you." Flavia hissed.

"Sorry Ma'am!"

"I knew you'd come." Basilio said walking in "Someone wants to meet with you, says he's an old friend, with insight to Valm's intentions"

"Huh?"

The door at the back flew open "Greetings, I have arrived."

"Oh, it's him." We all grumbled.

"Hey Virion." Lissa sighed "Hmm?"

He was accompanied by two women; one had long pink hair and was wearing a suit of armor, the other…

"Miriel?!"

"It's a pleasure to see all of you again, it has been some time." She smiled.

"I believe I should introduce myself properly." Virion said.

"We know who you are." Chrom sighed "And we know Miriel, but who is this?"

"You know nothing!" Virion yelled.

"Get to the point." Miriel sighed "You're more longwinded than I am…"

"While I am the archerist or archers, it is but a ruse, for I am truly-."

"May I present Duck Virion, and his wife Duchess Miriel. I am there humble servant Cherche."

"Wait wife?!"

"Servant?!"

"DUKE?!"

"Wait a sec Miriel when you said you were going away to study…" Chrom said putting pieces together.

"Correct, I went to live with Virion and study in his land."

"You girls are stealing my moment." Virion said in a panic.

"It's a pleasure Cherche." I smiled "Perhaps you can speak for your masters, you strike me as less of a rambler."

"HEY!" Virion and Miriel both yelled.

"That may be for the best." She smiled "First our origins we, the Duke and I, are form Rosanne, a fertile territory on Valm. Milord is the head of House Virion and the rightful ruler of Rosanne. He frequently reminds us of this…loudly."

"She has great wit, I taught her that." Virion smiled.

"So what brings you back here?" Chrom asked.

"Valm was a tiny nation." Virion said "Almost pitifully small, most forgot it ever existed, Valm would have remained a spec on the map if not for Walhart the Conqueror. He has taken the surrounding realms one by one."

"I suggested a tactical retreat." Miriel said "I hoped to come home and find aid there."

"So you two ran away." Chrom groaned.

"Well when you put it that way…"

"Yeah pretty much." Cherche nodded "Milord took the people to safety and I remained behind to observe, Emperor Walhart's forces are overwhelming. I had to flee as well…"

"To my great relief, eligible woman are Rosanne's greatest resource."

"Knock it off." Miriel said slapping the back of her husband's head.

"Long story short." Cherche wrapped up "Walhart took over our continent and now he wants to do the same to yours."

"Cherche says the fleet will be here in days." Basilio said "we'll know soon if they're telling the truth."

"Prince Chrom." Miriel bowed her head "You know I do not lie, I would have nothing to gain from this…"

"Don't worry Miriel, I believe you." Chrom smiled "You're an old friend, I trust you."

"Thank you."

"We should start by securing the ports." I said.

"Ah yes Robin, you should know that Valm had the strongest cavalry in the world, prepare accordingly." Virion informed

"Are you volunteering?" I asked.

"Uhh…."

"We welcome the chance to fight alongside all of you again." Miriel smiled.

"Basilio can you show me the ports."

"Yeah come along."

Later

We had assembled at the port where the Valmese army was coming to land, by the time I formulated the attack and everything was set up the ships were already pulling into port unabated.

"The Conqueror claims dominion over these lands!" the enemy general said "You will grant him your ships and loyalty as well as supplies. And you will surrender the Fire Emblem! Do these things and your lives will be spared. Kneel and swear fealty to the Valmese empire!"

The troops were already ransacking the town and killing anyone who wouldn't comply.

"Savages, the won't listen at all, prepare for combat!" Chrom yelled.

"Another war…" Frederick wallowed.

"We have time to ponder Ylisse place in the war…but for now we must stand against evil."

"May I be of assistance?" Cherche said walking up "This is my cause after all."

Cherche placed her fingers in her mouth and whistled.

"RAHHHAAA!"

"WHOA!"

A huge Wyvern landed next to all of us.

"Minerva is ready to fight as well, aren't you sweetie."

"You're a Wyvern rider?" Chrom said.

"Minerva and I are the pride of the Rosanne army." She smiled climbing on the mini dragon "Use me as you see fit."

"Hey Robin?" Vaike nudged me "Who's the new girl?"

"Not now Vaike."

I started issuing orders, having mages focus the more armored units and making sure the flying fighters stayed away from archers.

"Robin we need to get to the ship." Chrom said "The commanding officer is there."

"I smell fear…"

"What the hell is that thing?!"

"Why are you running humans?!" Panne said kicking around in her beast for "I won't hurt you too much! I will not allow you to destroy my second home!"

"That's it Minerva!" Cherche cheered as her axe took out a caviler.

"Chrom our path is open." I nodded "Let's go!"

"Right behind you!" he said as we stormed up the gangplank.

The two of us reached the top and confronted the enemy knight.

"You are just a pebble in the empire's path." The man said readying his lance.

The man took one jab and Chrom deflected his lance into the floorboards. The two of us drew our swords and slashed, he blocked mine with a shield but left himself open to Chrom who knocked him off his steed. The man got back up and managed to nick me with his lance but Chrom quickly ran interference and had his slash blocked by the shield.

These warriors are incredibly skilled.

"Let's try that old toy I pawned off." I said reaching into my coat "Levin Sword!"

The sword I took from Gangrel glowed and then fired of a bolt of my favorite element, lightning, and zapped the enemy leader in the back.

"GAH!" he groaned falling forward, a huge hole in the back of his armor.

"Seems like that's all of them." I said looking back at the part where Lon'qu was chasing off a few stragglers.

"Victory is ours…but at what cost." Chrom said taking a seat on a box.

"The town's been sacked." Basilio said "And the army is in shambles."

"This is troublesome." Frederick said walking onto the ship "Feroxi soldiers are the strongest on this side of the sea. We may be in trouble…"

"And this was just a vanguard." Flavia informed "The real fighters haven't even woken up yet…"

"Once they get here, we're screwed." The other khan said "We can't defend against that, it will be a slaughter."

"Ylisse has almost no navy." Chrom said "What do you think Robin?"

"Our disadvantage is on land…but what about sea, the cavalry will be weakest there, we just saw that when we fought that man on the boat."

"But Ylisse has no warships." Stahl said riding by.

"Same for Ferox." Lon'qu added.

"Gregor thinks we is in tough spot."

"Then you need help from someone with ships." Tharja said "I have a suggestion."

"What do you suggest?" Frederick asked.

"A land with a sea border…and the money to fight." The dark mage smirked "I'm in the mood for a trip home."

"Plegia?!"

"Out of the question!" Chrom said.

"Of course she would suggest something like that." Frederick mumbled "She's probably ready to lead us back to death."

"I'm not." She said "I'm just making a suggestion is all, take it or leave it. Face it, if you want to stand a chance you'll need their help. I haven't been there in two years but back then we had more than enough navy, Gangrel was obsessed with moving across the sea after his first campaign."

"I think she's right." I said "It's a good bet. Think about it Chrom…"

"Fine…" he sighed "Gaius!"

"Yo!" the thief said coming up from below deck "You should see all the stuff they got down here."

Chrom scribbled something down and he, Flavia and Basilio signed it.

"Take this to Plegia for me will you."

"Sure thing." Gaius said taking the letter "Yo Stumbles I need a ride!"

"Let's just pray the new king is more reasonable than the last." Chrom sighed.

"For the first fight against Valm it went well." Flavia smiled "You did good Robin."

"That's my guy!" Lissa said hugging me from behind.

"You guys have sure grown a lot, your stronger and smarter." Flavia said "And you're all getting married…gods I feel old."

"Maybe the old hag should just get married." Lissa whispered.

"I hear you!"
