Summary
After ascending the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fodlan, Byleth sought to rebuild the war-torn towns and villages and to help guide the reformation of the Church of Seiros. After a few months of peace, remnants of the Imperial army joined with those who slither in the dark and marched upon the Garreg Mach. The barely recovered army lacked the power to repel the invaders, and defeat was imminent. The knights were scared, and hesitant; they’d thought peace was finally achieved, and had finally thought it was safe to settle down—pursue love and start a family.
The only reason many of them were picking up their weapons again, was the sight of their priestess doffing her regalia and standing at the very front lines of the battle. She managed to emulate Rhea well enough when she stood at the helm of the church, but not here. On the battlefield, she was a mercenary and a tactician. Faith had nothing to do with it, only a dedication to lead her army to victory and defend her people.
Or: Claude leaving Byleth to lead Fodlan alone had far graver consequences than he was imagining.
