“I want to try and negotiate with my brother,” Prince Corrin says. He looks at Laslow, but doesn’t really speak to him. “I’m wondering if he’ll have merit as a hostage, as his retainer.”

“What?” Prince Takumi stares at Corrin like he’s spewing bile. “You can’t be serious. It’s impossible to negotiate with those people!”

Ah, those people, he said. Laslow supposes he wouldn’t expect a prince of Hoshido to have an upstanding opinion on Nohrians. To be fair, most Nohrians also have something or other against Hoshido. As for Laslow, well, he wasn’t ever too concerned with them the first time he fought this war.

He’d go as far as to say he still isn’t, not exactly. Because in reality, it wasn’t Hoshido that killed Xander so ungraciously. It wasn’t the conflict, nor the battles, nor the people.

It was Corrin.

“No, Takumi, you don’t know Xander like I do,” Corrin says, and what a sting it is to hear him say so. Laslow can nearly taste whatever sour feeling is bubbling up inside him. “He can be reasoned with. I just need a chance to speak with him.”

Corrin looks again at Laslow—and Laslow wrinkles his nose. He still needs to figure out how he can make this work in his favor. Honestly, he’d much rather not be stuck in Hoshidan captivity, so perhaps finding a way to escape would be his best bet. Especially since an incoming battle awaits them all, he needs to be around to keep Xander safe.

“I know he cares for his retainers,” Corrin continues. “He spoke very fondly of them to me.”

Laslow blinks. “My Lord Xander spoke fondly of me?”

Prince Takumi rolls his eyes. “Shut up, Nohrian.”
