Corrin - Dream Princess  ✧

[valliteborne]

Quietly thinking about an AA verse for Fates.

Thinking about it, I think the Nohrian Royal Family is a long line of Prosecutors who are rumored to only seek to find a guilty verdict through any means necessary

Meanwhile Hoshido are your attorneys for the opposite reason but in a more just way, so no tampering with evidence and witnesses

Corrin is a Prosecutor at first, and of course she can't agree with Nohrian ways on how to conduct a testimony and such--maybe at the first trial, Leo's the one who guides her

She came to the court house with Xander and Leo, but Xander also has a trial that day so he parts way. Promises to come back at the end and ask how things went. At first she tries to go with Leo’s plans, but at some point she goes rogue and tries to figure out the truth, rather than letting the true villain get away.

I have no clue who’d be her first Attorney to cross examine against, the Hoshidan siblings shouldn’t come in til her next trial. At least that’s what I think.

“Was I really asleep that long?” Richard sat up, his head still in a fog. He’d only intended to rest a few short hours and yet… had he truly become so exhausted? “Forgive me, I did not mean to have you wait upon me like that.”

“It’s no problem at all--if you need to, then please rest.” This was a rare moment of peace upon an ongoing war, one might want to take advantage of when given the chance. The camp was slowly preparing for the upcoming battle that is to take place in a couple of days. “It’s not every day that we get to rest like this.”

[valliteborne]

“Mmm, some iced tea would be lovely this morning.“

[valliteborne]

@dallarsaol [ Leo ] 

“Brother, are you fairing well? You’re covered in cold sweat and you seem quite pale.” the princess places a hand on the blond’s forehead; expression full of nothing but concern for his well-being. Lately, the young prince had been stricken with uneasiness, ever since he had left her siblings side and joined her cause.

It was sudden, but not unappreciated. It made things easier, so much more, as fighting Leo would prove to be a difficult battle. After all, the young man would be a formidable opponent, perhaps not by his strength alone but along with his sharpened wit. “I appreciate you putting all your time and effort into our cause, but please do not run yourself ragged. Your health is of upmost importance, and we can not afford to have you take part in our next battle if you’re ill.“

Perhaps Leo coming down with a cold could also prove to be the reason for his unlikely behavior.

“I do not know what more I could tell,” Richard admits. “He was a very busy man, and it is not until I assumed his role that I have fully been able to appreciate all that he did. Though he could be rather stubborn and closed-minded on some matters, he was still a good man, and a good father to me as much as he was able. Losing him has been… difficult.” 

Richard briefly swallowed. He had not allowed himself the time to grieve, to dwell on the loss of his father since it had happened. It was perhaps only thanks to Asbel and Sophie that he had been able to push forward. 

“I wish I knew more as well. Though I did not consider it at the time, I am beginning to wonder if it was his thoughts on the change in King Garron that lead to his death. He had grown a great deal more vocal with his concerns in the months prior. The doctors insisted it was illness that took him, but he had been a healthy man until that point. I find it difficult to believe he could fall ill and pass so suddenly. Perhaps someone was hoping to silence him.” Richard mulled over this new perspective. “He kept a great many notes in his study, perhaps if I’ve the chance to retrieve them, they could offer us some insight.” 

Corrin stood in silence, listening carefully to Richard as he mulled over past events. The more he spoke, the more she felt sympathy for the Lord. To have experienced a death that had been so sudden, the princess could very much sympathize with that. 

“I see, the connections does not seem impossible at this point in time--especially with how King Garon has been.“ Along with the truth she carries on her shoulders in attempt to relieve Azura of the heavy weight she had lived with for many years. “Perhaps we could try and do so, if you wish to, Richard. To retrieve the notes, that is.”

“I know it’s a fool’s attempt, but perhaps we could convince your Uncle to hand them over? If not, we’ll have another plan to fall back on in case things go south fast.“

@valliteborne [con’t]

Approval. Yes that he could relate to, though he could not wholly say why or when it was he began seeking it from their father. Perhaps out of fear of what failing him would entail, or perhaps he wished to see his talents acknowledged. He felt not the faintest speck of love for his father, but desire for his approval… yes, he supposed that was the case. 

“Not particularly. To her I was merely a tool to gain favour in court; a means to an end and little more. The stronger the child, the more well thought of the mother; such was the way of things among fathers concubines.” In her eyes he would never be anything more than a tool, but to Father… yes perhaps that was it after all. 

“I did seek to impress Father, perhaps for too long. I did not notice his madness until it was far too late.” 

“I see, perhaps in the end the ones who we should be seeking acceptance from the most is ourselves--if that makes sense.“ however, it doesn’t completely stop the wounds rejections would inflict upon their victims. At the very least, perhaps one could come to acceptance; learn to let go of those who perceives a person as less worthy and move on.

“In all honesty, I can not see fault in what others see in me. In what they dislike about me, and I shall even accept their harsh criticism. What matters to me most is that those I hold dearest love me for who I am. “

It took Corrin a second to reflect upon her words before coming to a small realization, “Oh, I feel as though I may have stranded from our original conversation--sorry Leo.”

Send my character a ► and a command. They must obey.

[valliteborne]

I’m probably not the first, but I want to adopt the headcanon that my Corrin answers to both Corrin and Kamui. I’d like to think that Corrin was her Nohrian name given to by Garon after locking away her memories of home. Meanwhile Kamui is her birth and Hoshidan name that she didn’t learn/remember of til she was forcibly taken back to Hoshido.

Corrin still wants to embrace the name her mother had given her, so she requests that her Hoshidan siblings would continue to call her by Kamui and help her become more used to it. Meanwhile she wants to stick with Corrin because that’s what she’s been called since she was young and Corrin has become quite fond of the people she has bonded together with her given name.

[Leo] ‘ you are not required to love your parents, or to even like them. ’

@dallarsaol || growling suggestions

“Even so, I wanted his approval of me. I cared whether or not he loved me as one of his children.” 

‘I wanted to feel as though I was really one of you’ her thoughts go unspoken, unable to vocalize her hidden feelings. “Did you not care for your parents? For father, or your mother?”

[valliteborne]

“Father... I wonder, would it be the one I’ve come to know or the one my brothers have spoken of long ago...” of course wishing for the latter is nothing but dashed hope. If the order of Heroes would bring along Grima and a few others to their side, then so would the father Corrin had grown to known.

“Perhaps it’s silly for me to even think of such a thing.”

“Mess hall it is, then. I’ll never complain about a meal when I know that I’m actually getting one.” 

They headed for the mess hall together, Legault deep in thought. He didn’t recall seeing any gardens or pastures, now that the matter had been brought to his attention. “How does the camp stay supplied, anyway?”

“Well, we have some natural resources around--at the moment we’re quite limited to what we have but hopefully more dragon veins will reveal itself and I can summon more into this realm.” quite limited indeed as what’s available to them right now. Corrin is, however, thankful for whatever help the dragons of this realm would offer to their cause. 

“But there are some kind people we aid in the midst of battle who offer us some things as thanks. It’s not much, but it’s enough with the small number of people in our militia at the moment.“

[valliteborne]

Legault pursed his lips, just for a moment. That particular word struck a deep chord in him, and she wore it much younger than he had ever needed to. Then again, it was hard to say that he wasn’t an enemy, despite his devotion to what the Black Fang had once been.

“My. I know how difficult that can be. It seems you have a group that believes in you, though. Better than being alone, isn’t it?”

“Yes, most definitely.” it makes her feel ever more grateful for those who have taken her side despite the inability to provide proof for her words. “Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder where I would be if they had not hear me out and take that leap of faith.”

“Though, I suppose the one I should thank more is Azura--as she had suffered the longest...” the last sentence slips past her lips in a whisper as the two cease their steps and stand in front of a cabbage field. “Although I have Takumi and Sakura at my side, that still leaves my Nohrian siblings, Hinoka and Ryoma to convince. However, I fear as though it won’t be that easy.”

“Hmm, I suppose that would be either Jakob, Felicia, or Flora... However, neither one of them are present. We could just grab a bite at the Mess Hall, however I don’t know who’s on duty at the moment.“

[valliteborne]

Sorry I’ve been really dead lately, I haven’t felt like writing. But I’ll try and work on my drafts to get back at it
