The Battle of Hrym Mountain signal the end of TWSITD as the Imperial army is now focused on destroying their hideout for good. Chaos was the only important member that escapes beside the Death Knight who is nowhere to be found. Ladislava will be left in charge of destroying the lost city for good which will take at least a couple of weeks 

The Imperial army will first take any record scrolls, books, etc then take anything valuable inside the lost city. They plan to destroy it by setting up wooden support beams first then smash any stone supports before burning the wooden support beams down with firewood or straws. They will also leave the bodies to burn inside a large pit of fire rather than burying them 

Those who have died during the operation will be given steel coffins and be buried inside the tomb of honours 

The wounded will be given a choice to retire with honour or continue on their serves with a promotion 

Speaking of wounded, Emperor Edelgard was injured during her fight against Thales who managed to land the spell death onto her. Even so, she managed to continue and slain Thales once and for all, however, her injury caused her to be disabled 

Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude, Lysithea, Ferdinand, Petra, Hubert and Randolph alongside the Imperial Guard are returning to Enbarr which will take at least four days 

When they arrived at Fort Merceus a Holy Knight checked her leg and sadly says that she still need to keep on using  the crutches for at least a couple of more days 

Edelgard frowned at the news but simply obeyed. She is thankful that she doesn't have to use both of the crutches instead, she only has to use one of them 

Once the fourth day has arisen they moved once more towards Enbarr 

The Royal carriage arrived back into Enbarr and the Royal Palace alongside the Imperial Guards

Edelgard was the first lord to exit with the help of Randolph 

"Thank you Randolph...we can handle the rest...just attend the Imperial Guards," said Edelgard as her face does not match her eyes 

Randolph bows "Yes your Majesty," said Randolph as he backed off and attend to the Imperial Guards 

Dimitri continued to support Edelgard during their walk up the steps of the palaces while Claude just stared at the two with a smile on his face

--------------

Meanwhile, Petra spotted Hubert heading straight towards her when they exited out of the carriage 

"You need something, Hubert?" Petra asked as she moves the sheathed sword behind her 

"No, I am here to thank you for serving alongside her Majesty," said Hubert as he bowed 

Petra's face turns into a surprised look as she just stares at Hubert for a moment "Really? You are...actually thanking me?" 

"Yes, is it a surprise to you Lady Petra?" Hubert smiles at Petra 

"It is a surprise...your cold to everyone besides her majesty herself," said Petra as she straightens herself 

"I live to serve her Majesty until the end of my life, as it is my duty," said Hubert as he straightens himself

Petra smiled "I only live to serve for my people independents," said Petra 

"That very good, I am very proud that you were willing to risk your own life deep in enemy lines," Hubert pats Petra on her right shoulder 

Petra brush Hubert arm off "I am just doing my job, Hubert...I am doing for my people and her majesty," Petra cross her arms 

"Very well, keep up the good work...if you do...I respect you," Hubert smirks at Petra 

Petra nods "I accept your challenge Hubert," said Petra as she heads toward the training ground outside of the palace 

"We shall see...after all time will only tell the truth and just the truth," said Hubert as he walks up the steps 

----------------

Ferdinand was forced into his room to have his cast replaced, Lysithea is inside her room taking a nap and Dedue is being treated by healers and is forced into his room by the orders of Dimitri

 Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude sat in the throne room where there no one here beside themselves and the Gigas Knights 

She leans on her crutch which is on her right side "My father has retired into his bedroom...father..." Edelgard looked down and sighed before looking up at the throne room "That reminds me, you haven't received a proper tour around the city of Enbarr," She turns around to face them "We better hurry as this is our last day before we have to return to Garreg Mach," said Edelgard 

"Edelgard...you shouldn't push yourself, you are still recovering like Dedue," said Dimitri as his face is filled with concern 

"Yea, Princess...you are still recovering...I don't what you collapse in the middle of nowhere," said Claude who is also filled with concern 

Edelgard sighed "Very well...it a shame but we do it at another time...so what do you want to do with the last day of our field trip?" Edelgard asked 

Dimitri and Claude looked at each other for a moment "We can discuss that later for now...let just get something to eat," said Dimitri 

Edelgard nods "Very well, I order the royal cooks to get started on our meals," 

"Well, Princess...I got an idea...how about we cook instead...for you," Claude smirks while Dimitri had worried look on his face and Edelgard with a suspicious look against Claude  "Just lay onto your bed and we bring the meal to you," 

"Claude..." Edelgard took a deep breath and sighed "The Holy Knight did suggest that I rest...and that you didn't what to go on a tour and I still remember that rat but...I suppose I let you have another chance...just don't waste it, ask Hubert for direction to the kitchen...it should have everything you need," said Edelgard as she heads toward her room on her own with her crutch to her side 

Hubert grabbed Claude shoulder with a frown on his face 

"Wa!" screamed Claude as he turns toward Hubert "Yo...you were watching us...were you?" 

Hubert laughed at Claude "Yes and I have heard that you will be cooking for her Majesty," Hubert pats Claude on his shoulder "I will personally examine you cook to make sure that you don't...do something wrong with the food for her majesty," said Hubert 

Dimitri just sighed while Claude just scoffed "Hubert...you should learn to place some faith into Claude," said Dimitri 

"Yea Dimitri is right, you need to place some faith into me," said Claude as he pats Hubert who frowned 

"Very well, I shall escort you to the kitchen...follow me," Hubert, Claude and Dimitri when into the Royal Kitchen and started to cook a meal for Edelgard 

-------------------

Back at Garreg Mach on a sunny day with a few clouds in the skies 

The Blue Lions were at the training ground while the Black Eagles are staying inside the classroom with Jeralt 

Felix is training against a training dummy alongside Sylvain 

Mercedes and Flayn are practicing Faith Magic with each other with Seteth approval alongside Annette 

Ingrid is just keeping an eye on Flayn for Seteth after she dragged Bernadetta out of her room and back into her classroom 

Ingrid sat onto the stone ground to relax 

Things appeared to be normal until she noticed something off within the pillars

Ingrid eyes when wide as she grabbed a nearby training spear when a group of hooded figures appeared out into the light 

The Blue Lions were caught off guard beside Felix and Ingrid but soon a sound of an arrow being released rang behind her. Ingrid reacted too slow as an arrow when right into her right shoulder. Ingrid screams out in pain as she fell onto the ground 

Chaos, a pair of Dark Masters, a Gigas Knight (The pair of Dark masters and Gigas Knights are the same from the fight against Kronya), a Dark Sniper (An advanced version of Sniper that is focused on dealing against magical attacks), a Dark Priest/Priestess (Master Class that can wield Reason, Dark and Faith Magic) appeared around them besides the exit. Chaos appears in the north of the room, The Dark Master beside them side by side, Gigas Knight appeared in the east part of the room, The Dark Sniper behind Ingrid but is moving towards the Gigas Knight and the Dark Priest/Priestess behind Chaos 

Felix dropped his training sword and drew out his Broad Sword, Sylvain raised his training spear, while Mercedes, Flayn and Annette eyes when wide as they move behind Felix and Sylvain 

"Ahh shit..hey lady-man...that training spear isn't going to do carp," said Felix as the Dark Master in the right charged forward. Felix dodged the first one slash as he counters back but the Dark master also dodged it in which the Dark Master attack once more and this time it landed "Gah...dam it," Felix cried out in pain

"Annie! Your magic!" cried out Mercedes as she heals Ingrid with her faith magic alongside Flayn

Annette cast wind against the Dark Master coming toward her but  Dark Master just dodged by disappearing and reappearing while continuing it dash however instead of using the blade of the sword. Instead, the Dark master uses the pommel of the sword to slam right into Annette's lower stomach. Her face when wide as she fell onto the ground struggling to breath 

Mercedes and Felix eyes when head as Felix continues to struggle against the other Dark Master "Ingrid...get out of here! Get help!" shouted Felix 

Ingrid nods as she limps herself out of the training ground but after that, the Gigas Knight moved to cover the exit. Sylvain attempted to damage the Gigas Knight but to no effect as the Gigas Knight slams it Axe onto the ground nearly hitting Sylvain "Well...that just great...the Gigas Knight has sealed our exit," said Sylvain 

"Sylvain behind you!" cried Flayn as she continues healing Felix who got hit again by the Dark Master 

"Huh? Wh..." Chaos appeared behind Sylvain and slammed it pommel onto it head knocking him out cold on the ground 

"Let me go!" cried out Mercedes as the Dark Master that fighting against Felix grabbed her and pulled her away 

"Mercedes!" shouted Felix as he tries to move towards Mercedes but the Dark Master says otherwise until Chaos came in with it foggy sword and smash the sword away as if it nothing before slamming the pummel into his stomach like Annette "No...where my sword...dam it..." Felix cried out in pain 

The Dark Sniper grabbed Flayn as she continues to struggle "Let me go! No!" cried out Flayn 

-------------------

Ingrid continues to limp as blood is slowly pouring out of her shoulder which still has that Dark Sniper embedded into it. She is slowly losing her vision as it becomes foggier and foggier 

"No...I must...ge...get...help," muttered Ingrid as she continued on

"Omg...is that...blood?" one of the students muttered as their eyes were filled with shock before fleeing in terror 

Seteth and Manuela were among of them as they head towards Ingrid 

"Ingrid...my goodness...what happened?" Manuela asked as she started to heal Ingrid shoulder after pulling out the arrow 

"Gah!" Screamed Ingrid as she calmed herself "Training Ground...Flayn...danger!" cried out Ingrid 

Seteth eyes when wide "What...oh no...Flayn...Flayn!" Seteth screamed as he quickly dashes towards the training ground 

--------------

Mercedes is being dragged by one of the Dark Masters while Flayn is being held by the Dark Sniper 

Chaos turns toward the exit of the training ground "hmm...perfect timing," said Chaos as the Gigas Knight moves out of the way where Seteth was spotted running towards them

"Brother!" screamed Flayn as she continues to struggle against the Dark Sniper but its grip stands firm 

Seteth when wide with anger "Flayn! How dare you attack the holy church and the students!" shouted Seteth as he grabs a Killer Spear and swings it at Chaos 

Chaos just watched as it dodges Seteth attacks no problem  "Hmm...too predictable," muttered Chaos as it dodges more of Seteth attacks until it decides to counter back with a slash that landed onto Seteth left arm 

"Gah!" screamed Seteth as he backed off covering his wound 

"Brother...sa...." Flayn got cut off as the Dark Sniper knocked her out for good

"NO! Flayn!" Seteth attempted again against Chaos but Chaos just dodged it by spinning around before kicking him away 

Chaos soon turned around and raised its hand, making itself, the Dark sniper, Dark masters, and the Gigas Knight to disappear into black mist 

"Flayn! Flayn" screamed Seteth as Catherine and Shamir showed up alongside a bunch of Knights of Serios 

"Seteth...what happened?" Catherine asked as she looked around at the remaining Blue Lions who are either knocked out or injured 

"Flayn...Flayn is gone...she disappeared...ah!" screamed Seteth as slams his fist onto the ground 

Shamir attend the wounded while the Knights carried those who were knocked out into the infirmary while Seteth just leaves and heads towards Lady Rhea chambers 

"Hey Shamir," Catherine pats on Shamir back 

"What is it, Catherine?" Shamir asked as she turns to face Catherine 

"None of the students are dead...they are just wounded or knocked out...it like our suspect doesn't what to kill them...yet they are stilled enough to beat Felix and even Seteth...something doesn't add up," said Catherine 

"Wow...that a surprise...normally it would be me talking about the clues...but yes I agree...it just doesn't add up," Shamir frowned alongside Catherine as they search around the training ground
