Edelgard

The scene faded into view on the edge of a battleground. Two vast armies, one in black, the other in white and red, are arrayed against each other but have not started fighting yet. Corrin was standing on the edge of the battle with Azura and Jakob, her red eyes wide and slightly wild as she tried to figure out what to do. The two commanders of the army are both shouting for her attention...

Corrin: I... I won't betray anyone. I won't fight against the people of Nohr after you cared for me all these years. You and Camilla, Leo and Elise... We might not be related by blood, but you are family to me. You've been with me for as long as I can remember.
Xander: Well said, little princess. What ties us together is thicker than blood.
Ryoma: What are you saying, Corrin? You would discard your true family and side with those who stand against us?
Corrin: ...No. I refuse to fight against my Hoshidan siblings, either. Ryoma...we might not have spent much time together, but you are my family too. You, Hinoka, Takumi, Sakura... I don't want to fight with you on this or any other battlefield.
Ryoma: We feel the same, Corrin.
Corrin: ...But I can't side with either of you against the other. I cannot betray any of my family.
Xander: Corrin, what are you...
Ryoma: ...going to do, then?
Corrin: I'm so sorry, both of you. Please, set your swords aside! I'm sure a peaceful solution exists. If we could just—
Xander: I've heard enough! Corrin, I can see what you're trying to accomplish here. As your older brother, however, it is my duty to teach you the truth...
Ryoma: Not while I still stand... Corrin is finally back with her family—I will not let you take her again!
Corrin: No, wait! Xander! Ryoma!
Xander: Don't think for a moment that I will let you take Corrin without a fight. It seems only right to cross swords with my opposing equal. As the heirs of our respective families, why don't we settle this here and now?
Ryoma: Prepare yourself, then. I will defeat you in defense of my kingdom and my sister!
Corrin: Please, both of you, stop! We can still talk this out inste—!
Xander: HAAAA!
Ryoma: YAAAAA!
Corrin: Gah, it's no use! They just won't listen to me... I'll have to step in if I want to stop them!


As the two armies began to battle, Edelgard would feel Corrin, the real Corrin, suddenly standing next to her, watching it all unfold.

"I think I may have told you something about this..."
