    Summary

    Claude is 18. Claude is clever. Claude has big dreams.
    But he won’t be able to unify Fódlan without the help of others. Building bridges is what he aims at from the very beginning and why he looks forward to his year at Garreg Mach so dearly. But somehow things don’t turn out the way he had planned them to be.
    “Isn’t it strange, Claude? How you dream of breaking the barriers around Fódlan, and yet you’ve built one around yourself, refusing to let people in. The more we talk, the more I realize I know nothing about you. It’s kind of…upsetting, to say the least. Do you trust me so little?”
    Dimitri Alexandre Blaidydd defies all his conjectures, and with each passing days his lance breaches through Claude’s most solid defence, threatening to destroy all he has tried to accomplish so far. Trust is a luxury he can’t afford at the moment but the Prince of Faerghus is sure testing his good sense.
    Claude thought he was clever, that things like this would never reach him with the mission he has to accomplish. He’s about to find out he’s also a man of simple things, and that from time to time he can be very stupid.

    Don’t get too close, they say.

    Don’t fall in love.

    …Well,

    Too bad.
