The Empty King is the twenty-seventh chapter of the Conquest campaign in Fire Emblem Fates. In this chapter, insert summary here
Plot
- Main article: The Empty King/Script
- The below plot corresponds to the use of a female Corrin. If you refresh this page, it is possible to get an alternate reading using a male variation instead.
As Corrin, Xander, Camilla, Leo, and Elise return to the throne room at Castle Krakenberg, Xander reveals the results of Corrin's decision to Garon, after which Garon starts talking toward Corrin in an unpleasing tone and talking ill of Mikoto in particular, with Elise jumping into the conversation to defend Corrin at one point; Iago deduces that Corrin may have actually sided with Hoshido and returned to Nohr in order to kill Garon, after which Corrin and Xander state that to not be the case, with Leo stepping in to prevent a full-out argument. Garon asks what happened to the Ganglari, after which Corrin reveals what went down in the Hoshidan capital plaza and deduces that Garon might have planned the events and sent her to Hoshido with the Ganglari in order to be killed, with Garon denying any knowledge of the events; as Iago again accuses Corrin of being a Hoshidan spy, Garon orders Xander to kill Corrin, to which Xander refuses. As Corrin states that she would rather commit suicide than let Xander kill her, Garon decides to counsel the sacred dragon, Anankos, to decide Corrin's fate; Garon reveals that Anankos's judgement favors Corrin joining the Nohrian royal family, to the delight of Corrin and Xander and to Iago's horror. Garon then states that Corrin must pass a test, suppressing a rebellion in the Ice Tribe, and states that success will mean that he'll accept Corrin as his child; as Xander states that he'll prepare the troops and Elise offers her healing services, Garon states that Corrin has to supress the rebellion by herself without any assistance. Xander states that Corrin has to pass through the Woods of the Forlorn en route to the Ice Tribe and states it to be unwise to expect Corrin to have to go alone, with Garon then stating that Xander is to either let Corrin take the task alone or kill her; as Xander starts to relucantly prepare to kill Corrin, Corrin volunteers to take on Garon's task alone and vows to not let Garon down. As the royal siblings leave the throne room, Garon then reveals his intentions to make Corrin suffer; we then see that Xander has been eavesdropping, and states that he knows what he must do.
We cut into the Woods of the Forlorn where Corrin is seemingly making her way through the area alone and apparently lost when Lilith arrives on the scene, immediately making Corrin feel a little better; as Corrin continues her trek through the woods, she runs into a Faceless and attacks it, only to find it powerful enough that she needs to use her Dragonstone. More Faceless arrive on the scene to join the fray, with Corrin stating that there's no time for her to transform before crying out in fear; a dagger suddenly strikes the helmet of one of the Faceless, after which we find out that Jakob was the one who threw the dagger. As Jakob states that he arrived before it was too late, Corrin asks him what he's doing in the area, to which Jakob states that he wasn't going to let Corrin take on the task alone no matter what Garon said; Jakob then states that he, Felicia, and Flora were moved to the castle after Corrin left the northern fortress, and that nobody will notice him being gone with Felicia and Flora covering for him. Corrin states that she has to take on the trial by herself, and that they haven't even reached the Ice Tribe and thus haven't even begun the trial; as another Faceless arrives, Corrin asks for Jakob's help, to which Jakob states he won't let her die in this place. Battle preparations take place at this point; the battle begins once preparations are complete.
At the end of turn two enemy phase, Corrin tells Jakob that they're horribly outnumbered when a mysterious voice calls out toward Corrin; the owner of the mysterious voice, Silas, arrives on the scene, after which Corrin and Silas talk about their interactions back when they were children, with Corrin initially stating that she had forgotten about these events and remembers them when Silas reveals that Corrin stopped the guards from executing him. As Silas states that he is prepared to fight at Corrin's side, Elise then announces her presence and rides onto the scene; Elise states that she wasn't going to let Silas join Corrin's side alone, and that she's arrived to help regardless of what Garon thinks. Elise then berates Silas for getting ahead of her, after which Silas states that Elise has her own retainers to look after her; Elise then states that her retainers should be arriving shortly, after which Corrin asks Elise to go easy on Silas.
At the end of turn three enemy phase, Arthur and Effie arrive and announce their presence, after which Corrin figures them to be Elise's retainers and thanks them for arriving; as Arthur and Effie explain their plights en route, with Arthur in particular falling into a swamp and having two birds steal his maps while Effie's armor slowed her down, Corrin thanks Elise and her retainers for coming to her aid, with Elise stating that Xander is who Corrin should be thanking--he's the one who went behind Garon's back and sent help after Corrin.
Once the battle ends, Corrin, Elise, and Silas start celebrating, with Silas stating that they can now reach the Ice Tribe village and Corrin stating that she hopes the group doesn't lose their way; Jakob tells Corrin not to worry, as he's more than happy enough to guide the group from this point--he's made it his business to memorize every inch of Nohr like the back of his hand. Corrin tells Jakob that he never ceases to amaze her, after which Jakob states that the experience would be his pleasure and asks the group to follow him. As the group leaves the area, Iago appears on the scene, states that he didn't expect Corrin to survive the battle, and reveals himself as the one who summoned the local Faceless, then denounces Xander as a traitor; he then states that he doesn't understand why Garon allowed Corrin to live after what Corrin went through, and that he'll ensure Corrin's experience gets more difficult from this point forward.
Summary
Corrin opens the door to the throne room, discovering the true enemy that waits for them. The creature within the room is unlike anything she's ever seen.
