Part 22: 'Field Trip'
Once they arrive back to Garreg Mach Monastery they were nearly met with Rhea wrath but was quickly calmed down by Byleth and Jeralt. Byleth soon when back into her room and Jeralt when back to the stables to assist the horses injured during the Sealed Forest mission
After that Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude when into the private garden to discuss what happened
"Edelgard, are you for sure that you don't know about this...Chaos person within their ranks?" Dimitri asked with a serious look on his face
Edelgard shakes her head "No...I don't, I never saw him/her once...it was a big surprise for me as well," said Edelgard
"Hmm...well for now, we just have to continue and be thankful that we are still alive," said Claude as he places one of his hands over his head
"Well anyway, let change the topic...the field trip set Professor Byleth for Enbarr has been set...so Dimitri, Claude prepare yourself and pack for up for at least a couple of days. Petra, Ferdinand, Hubert will also be coming alongside our field trip. If you what to bring anyone to this field trip, the time is now," Edelgard looked at Dimitri and Claude
Dimitri rubbed his chin for a moment "Dedue...Dedue will be coming alongside us, of course, I will have to explain everything to him but it shouldn't be a problem," said Dimitri
"For me, Lysithea...that should be an easy choice after all...you deeply care for her well being don't you?" Claude asked with a smile on his face
Edelgard just frowns at Claude but nods "Alright, I tell the Professor...for now let just enjoy ourselves," said Edelgard as she quickly leaves the Garden followed Dimitri and Claude
-----------
Ingrid when into to the crematory and kneeled right in front of Ashe grave as she places Kronya dagger onto it
"Ashe...if you are hearing me from up above...I finally avenged you...you can finally rest in peace now...but first let finish the book that we were reading," said Ingrid as she opens the book and started to read it out loud
Felix watched Ingrid on top of the stairs as he just sighs and looks up at the cloudy skies
-----------
Dimitri when inside the Garden as he just stares at Dedue who is taking care of the plants before tapping his shoulder
Dedue got up straight and took off his gloves before greeting Dimitri "Yes your Highness?" Dedue asked
"Dedue, I need to ask you a favour," said Dimitri as he pats Dedue on his right shoulder
----------
Claude slowly sneaked himself into the library and when behind Lysithea before grabbing onto her shoulder
Lysithea quickly turned around "Ah! oh...it you Claude...what do you want?" Lysithea asked with a frown on her face
"Whoa, sorry ok...look, we been invited to a field trip...what to come along?" Claude asked with a smirk on his voice
"Huh? Field trip...where?" Lysithea asked with a confused look on her face
"Why to the city of Enbarr with me, Edelgard, Dimitri and...." Claude stopped with Lysithea raised her hand
"Edelgard? Enbarr...I am coming along!" Lysithea closed her book and stood up
"Good, now pack your things...we are going on a field trip tomorrow," Claude smiles at Lysithea as he pats her on the head
Lysithea frowns "Alright...but stop treating me like a child!" shouted Lysithea as Claude started to giggle
---------
"So any luck?" Balthus asked as Yuri just shakes his head
"Nothing...the walls are too thick for us to dig into alongside the floor and the steel door is fresh and covered in paint meaning it wouldn't rust that easily nor break...it seems like they covered every escape option," said Yuri as he continues to look around
"Oh...are we going to be stuck here forever? I still have to restore House Nuvelle!" shouted Constance as she frowns at the door
"There is no point of denying it Coco, we can't use our magic and if Yuri can't break us out then we just have to sit here," said Hapi who has a frown on her face as Constance just moves into the corner
Balthus groaned as he rolled his eyes
Soon the Steel Door opened as the Ashen Wolves turn to face Chaos as it enters the room
"Hmm, it looks like everything is in order," said Chaos who sword is still covered in black mist
Yuri just nods to the back of the room as Yuri stepped forward while the rest backed off.
"What do you want from us?" Yuri asked as he face frowns at Chaos
"It simple, accept this contract or receive a slow and painful death," Chaos replied as he/she reveals a scroll right in front of them
Yuri took into his hands and started to read it "...well...this is interesting," Yuri looked back at the other three before turning back to Chaos "As if we had a choice...very well, we accept," Yuri toss the Scroll back to Chaos who put it back into ___ robe
"Good, now prepare yourself," Chaos stepped back while leaving the door open
-------------------
Edelgard found Petra within the main hall
"Petra! We need to talk about something," said Edelgard as Petra just nods before making their way towards the Garden
After they enter the Garden and sat down on their chair while Hubert kept on watch as normal but this time he was carrying a case within his hand
"Edelgard...what do you need?" Petra asked with a straight face
"Two things, one...there been a change of plans Petra, we are not killing those who will oppose me...instead we are just knocking them out or capturing them...but only if that possible. If not then you are my permission to go for the kill," Edelgard leaned back a bit
Petra's face seems to be relieved during Edelgard's comment "Alright, you shall my trust Edelgard...what is the second thing?"
Edelgard nods to Hubert who came inside and place the case onto the table. Petra looked confused as she stared at the case
"It is your new sword Petra, I am giving it to you as a gift," Edelgard opens the case and spins it around to face Petra in which her face when wide
"This Sword...is...is this for me Lady Edelgard?" Petra asked as she picks it up the cover and draws the sword out which seems to be covered in silver and metal fused with an emerald gem located on the pommel of the sword, it has a gold guard mixed with silver/steel and the blade itself is shaped like a Rapier completely covered in silver/steel
"Yes, Petra...this is a gift for you...now you are the wielder of Gram...it a took the best of the best blacksmith to forge this weapon as it not only very durable but it can allow you make quick attacks due to its very lightweight nature, alongside the fact that is has a miracle gem placed at the pommel which allows you survive a lethal blow without any problems but you still got to be careful as the sword will break once the miracle gem actives," said Edelgard as she smiles at Petra who is still examining the sword until she sheaths it and places it back onto the case before spinning the case back to her
She stood up straight and when right in front of Edelgard "Edelgard...I am very thankful for your kindness," Petra kneels with her left knee back, right foot forward, right arm across her chest and her left hand onto her back "Will you gift me the Sword Gram?" Petra asked as she watches Edelgard draw the sword
Edelgard moves it right in front of Petra "If you take up this Sword, do you swear your absolute loyalty to the Empire and its people?" Petra nods as Edelgard dub her right shoulder "Do you understand this oath under the Twin Eagle of the Adrestain Empire that you shall fight for the Hresvelg bloodline until death or until your oath becomes annulled?" Petra nods once more as she dub her left shoulder which made Edelgard smile, she moves the sword right in front of her with two hands one on the grip and the other on the blade with open hands "Now this Sword Gram shall be yours forever as it has been indebted into you and exclusive you...Petra Macneary the sword now belongs to you...come and claim it," said Edelgard as Petra picks up the sword with both hands
"I thank you and I shall repay my serves to you until death or annul," said Petra as she slowly rose to pick up the cover from Edelgard and sheaths Gram back into its cover "Thank you Lady Edelgard for this gift," Petra bowed before raising her head towards Edelgard
"And thank you for your loyalty as I expect great things from you Petra..." She looks up at the cloudy skies "Now the day is becoming late...the field trip is tomorrow, check your things to make sure that you packed everything you need especially your new sword...you will need it later once we enter the Imperial Palace," said Edelgard
"Yes Lady Edelgard, I shall not disappoint you!" Petra bowed once more before leaving the garden
