Summary: Felix wears Glenn's ring.
30th of the Ethereal Moon, Imperial Year 1180
The ring of the Fraldarius heir felt heavy on Felix’s hand.
When Felix turned seventeen earlier in the year, his father had presented him with the ring. “It’s an heirloom,” Rodrigue had said. “Now that you are to enter the Officers Academy, it is time that you wear it.”
At first, Felix refused. He never liked what the ring represented. Its shiny silver surface, engraved with the Crest of Fraldarius, was tarnished with the ancient, misguided belief in a knight’s honor and chivalry. Of a good death. To die for one’s liege.
But then his father placed his hands on Felix’s shoulders, his eyes unreadable, unsearchable. “You don’t have to accept this ring until you feel ready. But I know that one day, when you discover what you believe in, you will be more than worthy to wear it.”
But it wasn’t all that easy. After all, the last person to wear the ring of the Fraldarius heir was his older brother, Glenn.
Felix’s memories of him now were fuzzy at best. He remembered a brother who cared about him, who watched his back, who trained him relentlessly. At least when he thought the memory of his brother was drifting away, somehow, someway—Sylvain, Dimitri, and Ingrid would remind him that he had existed.
He remembered a forest and a hunting trip, the last trip he and his brother would ever go on. During that hunting trip, Glenn had told Felix to be better than him.
Felix wondered how he could be.
