A Ghost Rider's Journey Vol.6: Welcome to Ylisse(x Fire Emblem Awakening)

Chapter 27

To enter in Yllistol right after I left was rather embarassing, even if it was 2 years after.

I didn't notice big changes, just some modifies here and there.

I went at the castle when someone stopped me.

???:"Hold on, sir. I ask you to identify yourself."

I immediately recognized him.

Me:"Hey there, Stahl. I see you haven't changed so much."

He looked me confused until he finally recognized me.

Stahl:"Hold on, is that you Y/N? Man, how long it's been. It's a pleasure to see you again."

Me:"Even for me. How are the things going?"

Stahl:"Well, everything here is perfectly fine. Peace is holding up, thanks to Chrom."

Me:"Oh, so he became the rule rule 1? Well, I guess it was to be ecpected..."

Stahl:"The ceremony was a month after you left. Ah, along with the wedding of course."

That caught me of surprise.

Me:"...Wedding?"

Stahl:"You didn't know? He got married with-"

???:"I thought I heard some noises. Look who chose to come back."

I looked behind Stahl to see Sully, Frederick and Anna.

Anna:"Gotta admit it's a surprise. To celebrate, I'll offer the 10% of discount on my prices. But just for today, so take the cance!"

Sully:"You sure have some guts to show up only now? Where the hell have ya been!?"

Me:"Neither you changed so much, I see."

Frederick:"True, but you are completely identical. You even wear the very same clothes."

Me:"So what? They're my favourite, so I won't wear other."

I turned to Stahl.

Me:"Anyway, you said Chrom got married? And with who?"

Stahl:"...Oh right! Well, he married Sumia. There already was some affection between them, and now they're a couple."

Me:"Sumia, you say."

I did notice she had feelings for Chrom, but I have no idea he felt the same.

Me:"Well, after this I need to see the man. Where is he?"

Frederick:"He's in the main room. I'll take you there."

Me:"Thanks, but I remember the path like if I made it 2 hours ago."

Frederick:"Even so, I must follow my duty and lead you the way."

Me:"Fine, do it your-"

In that moment I felt a shiver on my back. It wasn't that feeling I learned to know so well, but I recognized it with no effort.

Me:"...Frederick, can I make a question?"

Frederick:"Yes, what for?"

Me:"Is Tharja still here with you?"

He looked away slightly embarassed.

Frederick:"Well, after you left she chose to stay, waiting for your return. How so?"

Me:"Because she's following us from behind the columns."

I tried to turn back only to see her face hiding with a weird smile.
