    Summary

    "If an opera is made about my life someday, I wonder how I'll be portrayed. The revolutionary who guided the Empire to a new dawn, or the foolish ruler who took her revolution too far?"

    In the summer, the people of Fhirdiad puts on a festival to celebrate their victory. Linhardt, on sabbatical from Garreg Mach, goes to see an opera with an old friend.

    Summary

    “Dimitri thinks you do not love him.”

    That pulls Felix up short. Of course Felix loves the stupid beast. He has always loved him, in spite of his better judgment. It has nothing to do with their other arrangement, not with the intimacies they share. That is a physical matter. Felix does not - Dimitri does not -

    - - -

    Two years after the war ends, Felix and Dimitri get their act together.

    Summary

    “Why aren’t you married?” Sylvain asks.

    Dimitri barely, just barely, flinches. Says, raising his chin like it’s any sort of rebuttal, “Why aren’t you?”

    “I’m a rake,” Sylvain reminds him cheerfully. “No one expects me to marry. You, on the other hand…”

    - - -

    In which Sylvain, much to his horror, turns thirty, gains respectability, and falls in love with the reigning king.

    Summary

    “We have… a history.” Felix’s tone is weighted, and his flush deepens.

    Dimitri stares at him. Waiting for more, but no more comes. “Oh?”

    Felix looks at him in disbelief. His face is so red the colour has even spread to his ears. Through gritted teeth, he elaborates, “We were involved.”

    “Involved?” Dimitri repeats dumbly. Felix is looking anywhere but Dimitri now, but why should he be so embarra-

    Oh. Oh. Involved.

    - - -

    Three years after the war, and Felix is still strange with Dimitri. Not angry, not resentful, just... distant.

    Dimitri does not understand.

    Summary

    The Adrestian Empire has unified Fódlan and the Kingdom of Faerghus is no more. Felix Hugo Fraldarius, who was meant to become the King's Right Hand like his father before him, now lives the humble life of a traveling mercenary. And yet, his infamous legacy will follow him forever—the greatest act of treason since Nemesis betrayed the Goddess herself.

    And on a tiny island in the middle of the freezing northern sea, an exiled king dreams of returning to his throne.
