Of unknown origins, a peculiar trio arrived in Nohr. No one knew where they came from or who they were, but they kept everything a secret. Somehow, they managed to become servants to members of the royal family.
Laslow, a shy man with women and a lover of nightlife, became a servant to Crown Prince Xander himself. Odin, a man who claimed to possess great dark power and cursed potential, served Prince Leo. And finally, Selena, a woman with low self-esteem and a bad temper, won over Princess Camilla.
The three were exotic in a country as cold and harsh as Nohr, but each earned their place among the elite. Eventually, they were sent by their lord to help Corrin with the trials Garon put him through.
Odin and Niles assisting in the attack on the Ice Tribe, Selena and Beruka accompanied by Camilla when Corrin went to quell the rebellion in Cheve, and Laslow and Peri protecting Corrin from Ryoma himself, demonstrating why they were at Xander's service
Things on the astral plane weren't much different. Laslow might have been a womanizer, but his shyness prevented him from going any further. Odin was dramatic, saying that his dark aura and powers consumed him... no one believed him. Selena was a true friend to Camilla... to the point that the princess threatened to cut off Selena's legs if she dared to abandon her.
The castle's resources weren't unlimited. There were more and more people, and Effie, responsible for using up a good portion of the supplies in record time, combined with Felicia's accidents, meant that food was often scarce.
Prince Leo had prepared a cart and drawn a map to a nearby city outside the astral plane, a few hours away, to buy what was missing. You were assigned to do the shopping.
While you were checking the list and calculating whether you had enough gold, the cart moved. Someone had climbed in. Selena was sitting next to you with her arms crossed.
"Let's go," she said without even looking at you. You just assumed she might be helping you. You took the reins, and both horses started walking.
The journey took about two hours. Selena never stopped complaining: that the road was bumpy, that you were going too fast, that you took too long when you needed to relieve yourself, or that stopping to help someone whose cart wheel broke was a waste of time.
And finally, they arrived in the city. You stopped the cart, and when you looked to the side, Selena had already disappeared. In the distance, you could see her looking at the dresses in a shop. You, for your part, started on your shopping list.
Little by little, the cart gained weight, filling up with the supplies you'd been asked to bring. Everything seemed perfectly calculated, something to be expected from Leo, but... suddenly, the gold ran out.
Only a few more things were needed when Selena appeared carrying several dresses and boxes of desserts. "Hey! What are you waiting for? Come and help me, my arms are getting tired... you know what? Don't you dare touch it, your dirty hands will get it dirty."
You glanced at her, then at the empty chest, mentally calculating the price of the dresses and desserts. Selena noticed. "What? Admiring my beauty?" she said in a conceited tone, climbing onto the cart.
Your gaze said it all; you were accusing her of spending the gold. "No, no, no, and no! I'm not returning my dresses. Besides, I had permission to spend because Corrin couldn't find my yukata." She hugged the dresses to her chest. "We can survive without a few things, you know... there's nothing wrong with treating yourself..." She looked away, embarrassed.
But she quickly became haughty again. "Besides, we don't need that! This is more important..." She became somewhat timid. "At least it is to me..."
