“I…” 

   Just you, really, Araceli wants to say, but the words die on her throat as she takes in the sight of golden curls and the almost permanently furrowed brow– The slight upturn of Xander’s lips quirk her own up in turn for an instant, and with the unspoken permission to enter her brother’s study the princess shuffles a little closer inside. The door softly creaks shut behind her, though she finds herself wishing it hadn’t. 

   She has to blink away the spatters of red liquid (does it belong to Elise, who’d died shielding her? Or perhaps Xander, after she’d cleaved her beloved sibling’s flesh asunder with her own sacred blade and draconic claws?) clouding her vision, will them off of the still living and breathing crown prince– All at once the princess is reminded of that first time he lay dying in Castle Krakenburg, and it’s all she can do to harden her heart like Xander does when he must follow orders from the king he knows in his heart must surely be wrong. 

   He can never know. He’d never believe her. None of them would. Camilla would fret that the stress of war had gotten to her darling Araceli and do everything in her power to keep the younger princess off the front lines as much as possible– and practically drown her in affection. Leo would assume the memories are simply nightmares, and recommend she get a grip lest the night terrors begin haunting the daylight hours when the army needed her the most. And Elise…? No. She can’t possibly burden her youngest sister with such a heavy burden. Not now, not ever. 

“I was hoping you could give me some input on someething,” Araceli offers at last, tentative and hesitant. “I hope I’m not keeping you from anything important. May… May I sit down?”

    She still doesn’t want to be a disturbance, not if Xander has work to attend to, but perhaps the older man could provide an insight of some sort on how to break the shackles of time that had tightened so closely over her ankle– And those of all she loved, too. 

   Xander always knows just what to say, just what to do… Even after seeing the worst of him whenever she strayed from the dusk of Nohr to the dawn of Hoshido, there was no other person Araceli sought inspiration and guidance from more. Someday, when fate would allow the world to finally move beyond this endless, silent war, he would make a fantastic king. She’ll do everything in her power to make it so.

    He sets aside the papers he’s been reading as she shuffles in, her expression troubled. He can’t be sure what exactly it runs through her mind, but nonetheless his brow creases in mild worry. He has always hoped that his younger siblings could remain relatively unburdened by what happens in the Nohrian court, as idealistic as it sounds, and he feels most of all that Araceli has been forced to grow up far too quickly in the time since she left the Northern Fortress.

   “Of course. Would you like tea as well?” His gaze flicks towards the teapot that Laslow had brought quite some time ago, frowning as he realizes that it’s likely gone cold. Alas, there isn’t much he an do about that. “What’s on your mind, Little Princess?”

    “Indeed, I’m afraid it isn’t truly a question,” he concedes, knowing they have little choice but to follow through with the arrangement. Still, he imagines that there’s something to be said for at least going through the motions of it all, of pretending that this isn’t simply the culmination of months of political negotiations. “Even so, I wish to do right by you--no matter the circumstances of our engagement. I imagine this isn’t any easier for you.”

     It probably wasn’t anything someone would expect from the young princess. She was small and looked as fragile as g l a s s though her eyes were an unforgiving fire. There wasn’t much form to her as she lacked athleticism– though not by choice. It used to be a dream to venture outside and learn the skills taught to the soldiers of Embla. Unfortunately, she was subject to nothing more than reading and memorizing spellbooks, which wasn’t anything more than a few recitals and varying hand gestures. Perhaps it might’ve been pushing the good state of her current health, but nothing ventured was nothing gained. ( It wasn’t as though anyone outside of the palace staff knew either ). And so there was a strange though admirable determination behind her words to the foreign prince.

     “ Prince Xander, would you teach me the sword? ”

    Of all the things she might have requested, he expected this the least. It was abundantly clear that she was mage first and foremost, and though he had never pried, he had seen evidence of a lifetime of poor health. But nonetheless, the request brings a smile to his lips--many of his fondest memories are of teaching Corrin, after all.

    “I’d be honored to,” he says, making a mental note to ensure that they don’t push her too hard. “I’m afraid I know little of the empire’s style, but I can teach you how the style I was taught. Would that suffice?”

        ❛    If I may be honest ? No , this wasn’t exactly how I imagined to see Nohr either …    ❜    Laugh escapes from the back of her throat as rosy hues meet with honey .    ❛    But I’ll admit … Having you by my side ——— along with dear Camilla , Leo and Elise ——— has made things a lot easier for me . I’m not sure I would’ve made it this far without you all .    ❜

     “I have faith that you would have managed, Little Princess,” he says with a small chuckle of his own. “But I do feel better, knowing that you have all of us at your side. So much has happened since you departed the Northern Fortress...I imagine it’s been quite the adjustment.”

There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes,

                        Tired of being treated like a p a w n.

But there’s a part of me that stares back

                             from inside the mirror

Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong–

                                     That I can’t be s t r o n g.

     The arrangement made sense. The people of Valla wished for Aqua to retain her royal status, even if she refused to sit upon the Vallite throne, and marriage was a simple way to fulfill it. Even so, he couldn’t say he was enthused about the idea. He was well-aware that Aqua had little desire to return to Nohr, and even less to return to its court, and while he wished he could say that his position as king would protect her from the worst of it, he wasn’t foolish enough to believe that it would--not when Queen Arete had been such an unpopular figure amongst the nobility.  So really, he wasn’t surprised by her question.

     “I don’t know,” he admitted, his brow furrowing. “I would not presume to say that it is more than a way.” He paused, wondering how best to reply to her next words. “And, for what it’s worth, I, nor anyone else who fought alongside us, do not think of you as an albatross.”

     “I’ve always hoped you would be able to see Nohr for yourself, Little Princess,  but it’s a shame that you’re only able to do so as part of military campaigns. I imagine it isn’t the most enjoyable first impression.”

         →yeah i guess all your meetings can get a little overwhelming. i can muster up a fake cough if he needs more evidence though.

[ TEXT TO: 👀 xander ]

         → make sure to bring soup and ibuprofen, sweetheart. 😉

[text] I doubt that will be necessary, but I do appreciate that you would be willing to corroborate my story with a fake illness.

[text] Seeing as you aren’t truly ill,  however, I will be refraining from buying more ibuprofen. If you truly want soup, however, I don’t mind making a stop on my way back.

Arranged marriage AU starter sentences

“So you’re my future bride/groom? You’re not what I expected at all.”

“I know it doesn’t seem so, but I will take care of you.”

“Let’s get this straight, I’m only agreeing with this arrangement so my parents would shut up.”

“I…think I’m in love?”

“You don’t have to worry, I’m never going to touch you.”

“I look forward to getting to know you better.”

“Are you scared? Don’t be. ‘ll protect you from today onwards.”

“You are the reason why I can’t be happy.”

“I don’t want to marry you at all, the person I love is someone else.”

“We’ll make this work out.”

“Don’t run away from this, from me!”

“I can’t believe they’re making us get together.”

“It’s crazy, isn’t it? Two complete strangers who know nothing about each other being brought together like this.”

“The moment I saw you, I knew we were meant to be.”

“I know it’s already been arranged, but let me do this properly…Will you marry me?”

“All right, all right! If you’re so against it, then we can work together to sabotage our own wedding!”

“If I don’t win your heart in a month we can call off the wedding.”

“You are mine now. Don’t look at anyone else.”

“Don’t cry. I promise I will love you and protect you to the best of my ability, til death do we part.”

“I have loved the idea of you since before you were even born.”

“ have been eagerly awaiting the day I could finally meet you…and I am not disappointed. You are beautiful.”

“I don’t think this is going to work out. It’s a mistake to go through with this.”
