    “It was only a joke.” Her returning smile, when it finally breaks, is small and serene. “But perhaps you think me incapable of such things.”

    “There’s not a single thing I think you incapable of, and that’s not a joke,” he says.

    Summary

    “I know you’re there,” she says, and through her still hands and steady gaze, she's prepared to reach for the letter opener in her peripheral. Not quite as sharp as she’d like, but sharp enough, with enough pressure and conviction.

    “Isn’t that just the relief,” comes the voice of one Claude von Riegan, and it comes as a shock to neither of them. “I’d hate to find that you’ve gotten sloppy.”

    The night Claude visits is dark and quiet; Edelgard's heart is anything but.

    The 7th of Pegasus Moon, Year 1180

    On the eve of finally departing to assume the throne, all her greatest plans about to unfold, Edelgard finds the dawn never comes—no matter how many times she lives through the same evening.

    But she's not as alone as she first thinks. Someone else who dreams of the dawn is repeating the night with her.

    The Church of Seiros teaches that the Crests are a blessing from the Goddess, but Marianne has never felt blessed. When she speaks with Edelgard, she begins to question her faith, and wonders if she might walk a different path.
