【Dimiris】The Lost Heir of Cyros

Summary: Two years have passed since the February Bloody Night event.The war between the three major factions of Fodora still has no end in sight...

:

She dreamed of a man's voice, and Xu Xu said something she couldn't understand, but it felt like a warm and soft dream.In the dream, she was held tenderly by the man, as if she were the most precious gem in the world.

Then, the warmth gradually scorched her, and the terrible raging flames surrounded her.

cigarette.She smells smoke.

The smell of burnt human flesh.

But she was still held tightly...

She saw Leia's face smiling sadly at her, caressing her forehead, and heard her whisper, "Goodbye, my precious niece."

Then, she stood on the large terrace of Fildea.The bright moon is shining brightly, the flowers are shining under the soft light, and the petals of the wisteria on the high place are scattered like fine raindrops.She dances under a rain of flowers.

with Sutis.

"Do you know where you are?" Suthis asked with the sound of a piece of music that he was very familiar with when he was a child.

"I..." She wanted to say something, but stopped.

She wants to say.

What does she want to say?

"Concentrate." Suthis ordered softly, and she spun with her, repeating: "Carefully concentrate."

Concentrate.

She has to concentrate.

In the end, Suthis disappeared, and everything became blurred again. She was held in her arms, warm and soft, and a man was talking in a whisper that she couldn't understand.

Cycle again.

A man is holding him.Leia is protecting her.Suthis danced with her.

again and again.

Time plays pendulum again and again.

No, even time no longer exists, right?

"Concentrate." Suthis said every time.

Not yet.

so gentle.

Very hot fire.

Dancing in the moonlight on a cold and beautiful night.

This……

"In a dream." She finally remembered the word, and Suthis's expression relaxed a little after receiving the answer.

"Yes. You are in a dream." Suthis stopped dancing and said to her.

Wisteria flowers withered early in autumn.

"I was dreaming." She recalled her memory.

"Yes. You are dreaming." Suthis agreed angrily.

"I..." She couldn't think of what to say again.

Suthis, accompanied by white petals, was blown away by a gust of cool wind.She reached out to grab her, only to squeeze a handful of sand in vain.The quiet petals turned red.

The sparkling flowers rolled into a ball of fire.

Fildea is burning.

She can't move.

Why can't she move?

She has to move.

she has to...

There was a blanket covering her, which was soft and comfortable.She felt that someone was holding her, holding her back with one hand and hugging her knees with the other.

She was jolting and she couldn't see anything.All she could see was the blue blanket covering her.

Then she was thrown out.

The blanket floats away, and a streak of blond hair slips out of the corner of my eye.

"Dimitri?" she called out, falling.

She is falling.

come down.

keep falling.

Open your eyes.

Still can't move.

Someone is holding her hand.

Are you still in the dream?

What is that sound?

Why is it so bright?

"Ah! Byles!"

someone here.

She knows her.

She remembers her.

What's her name?

"Flian." Suthis appeared beside her, held her other hand, stared at her and said, "Her name is Fulian."

right.Her name is Fleur.

she is...someone's...

"It belongs to my cousin." Suthis said.

Correct.

cousin.

Not exactly, but that's what it means.

There are still people.

She didn't know him, but he seemed kind.He stared at her as if seeing a miracle.he is……

"A doctor," said Sutis.

right.He was like a doctor, checking the instruments around her.

Another person is here.

he is……

"Claude." Sutis said.

right.Claude.

Crowders are good.

right?

"Yes." Suthis's voice was hoarse, "He's super nosy, it's not our style, but he's not bad."

She woke up but couldn't move.

She woke up, but couldn't speak.

Their voices were always an indistinct cacophony, incomprehensible no matter how she listened.

What's up with her……?

"I'll explain it to you when you regain enough strength." Suthis whispered, holding her tightly.

She felt like she had forgotten something crucial.

But there was no choice but to start over.

Her recovery period has been difficult and slow for all.

Little progress, but she's getting better.

Words are the most difficult.

Suthis has been by her side all the time, reminding her what to say sentence by sentence.

When she slept, Suthis fell asleep with her.They lay on the soft blue blanket and she held her hand.

"Do you remember that?" Surtees would ask.

"I don't remember," she would reply.

"Me too." Suthis said sullenly. "It's a little sad. No matter what happened at that time, it was a matter of great significance to us."

She understands.

If even Suthis can't remember, that memory will be completely wiped out.Maybe it's a dream, maybe it's a memory, it happened when they were too immature and didn't know what to remember.

A memory shattered under the blessing and embrace of ghosts.

That fragmented memory propelled her back to consciousness.

She wanted to cry so much.

But I can't cry.She forgot how to cry.

Since her sobriety, she has gradually relearned everything.

Fleur and the doctor never left, helping her and guiding her.

Her father would sometimes stay at night, reminding her of her childhood days.

Thetis always came with him.

Claude would update her with the latest news every morning, and Surtis remembered his name.

During the day, her mind became clearer.

In the dark night, her dream was hazy again.

One night, Suthis was not in her dream.

She still returned to that terrace, dancing with a...someone she had known before?

She felt that she knew this man.

But she couldn't remember who it was.

She had a blue veil over her head.Everything is a vague indigo.They danced slowly to the slow beat of the music.

Then the music ended and they stopped in the middle of the terrace.She closed her eyes and kissed her forehead with her lips.

He whispered something.

She couldn't understand, but he felt safe when he hugged her.

Like the hugs from her sick dad when she was a kid.

"I'm sorry." She whispered to the ghostly partner, "I...don't remember you."

He kissed the top of her head and whispered something else.She couldn't understand, but seemed to know what he was talking about.

It doesn't matter.She just needs to remember...

He will protect her.Even if only in a dream.

The doctors said that once the person woke up, everything would be fine, and they just had to do their best to help her recover.

Except for those... paralyzed legs.

The doctor added that there was a possibility of a cure, but it was better not to have any hope from the start.

No.She's been working on it.

Every morning, work hard.

She wants to get stronger.

she wants……

she wants……

"You also know that strength is not what you need." One night, when Fulian had fallen asleep, Suthis said to her. "You also know what you are going to do." Suthis sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his legs.

she knows but she...

She is weak.

Suthis turned around and stared at her: "You are not weak at all, you are just a coward."

She stared at Suthis.

"The people are devastated. Even now, they are still fighting and killing, and while you are sitting here, they are suffering in the hell caused by you!" Suthis stretched out his hands and shouted: "Our uncle Out there, risking their lives to protect us! Our buddies are out there, fighting to carve a way out! Our daddy is out there, looking for...finding..."

Suthis grabbed her shoulders, "He's outside alone, full of scars!"

Surtees put his head on her shoulder and cried, "I want to see him!"

She heard Suthis cry: "I want to stay by his side!"

For the first time in years... she cried.

In the early morning of the next day, Claude told her that Dimitri had met Marianne briefly. He was deeply injured, but still chose to leave alone.

Suthis looked at her with a pale face.

Standing in front of her and whispering: "He will die insanely soon."

She understands.

Put your hands on the table and whisper, "We have to do something."

she will.

"Not only for him, but for everyone." Sutis warned solemnly, "This war must end immediately."

she can do it.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, Suthis squeezed her hand.

"As long as we are with you, we are invincible."

"I know." Beles said out loud suddenly, opened his eyes, and looked at Claude firmly, his eyes were shining with the light of burning leadership:

"Take me to Ferdia."

Claude agreed, but only after she had changed.Fleur went to help her, but Byles was no longer embarrassed.She needs help, and she needs to receive help.

She has other urgent matters to attend to.

It took Fleur some time to help her choose her clothes ("Absolutely stunning! You're going to be cute and handsome!"), but Byreth was patient.

She does have to have some flair.

This is like a gangster.

Fulian helped her put on a long dress with a black collar, the color of the cuffs was the same as that of the pale gold buttons.The rest of the fabric is embroidered with rose shadows.Inside the long skirt was a corset and a short frilly skirt, and the layers of the skirt fell back to protect her injured leg, revealing only a pair of bare feet that still needed to breathe due to the injury.Fulian put the suit jacket that everyone in the family wears on her shoulders again.

Byleth's hair had grown in two years, like Surtis's.Since it has not been trimmed again, the loose hairstyle is also similar to hers-mint-colored hair fluttering in different lengths behind her.Fleur wore two small golden lily-shaped hair clips to her ears, just like Leia often likes to dress up.

very good.It perfectly imitates Leia's characteristics.

Fleur tried to brush back the bits of hair that should have been cut off, and used a hair tie to clear them away from her cheeks.This care didn't really have any effect, a few short hairs were still caressing her, and the long hair on the back was still falling down like Suthis.In the end, Fulian could only give in, making them dotted on one side like bangs.

When Claude saw her, he bowed to her and said, "Master Beles."

She didn't like the title, but it was a necessary effort for the benefit.

The three of them left the shelter of the bunker, Claude carried her into the car, drove silently to Ferdia, and stopped in front of the headquarters.

Fulian got out of the car first and prepared the wheelchair.It was rumored that the reappearance of the dead Flynn Cyrus was enough to shock everyone nearby.Claude carried Byles safely onto the wheelchair, and Fleur quickly straightened her clothes and hair, and pushed her into the building.Claude followed behind the two, using them as a shield.

It was indeed a good idea, because when Thetis came to the hall to greet them with Rodricu and Leuphas, Thetis stared at Claude and looked like he was going to kill someone.

"What are you doing?!" Thetis yelled at Claude, who immediately raised his hand in surrender, looking... not very innocent.

Fleur looked at his father with a guilty conscience, unable to help Claude.

"Thetis." Byles called him.

He also called everyone present.

She put her hands on her lap and said calmly: "I am very grateful to you and Claude for their protection, but now it is time for me to succeed the family leader."

"Beles...but..." Thetis couldn't speak, and couldn't understand what happened, so she suddenly made a decision.

Beles turned to Rodriguez and said, "I want to use the office. Rodrigo, please prepare the camera."

Rodriguez remained motionless, as stunned as everyone present.

On the contrary, Rufus was the first to react and shouted: "What are you waiting for?! Send someone to the [-]th floor to clear the scene and set up cameras!"

People moved, trying to carry out Beles' orders, but they often bumped into each other.

Byles nodded to Rufus: "Thank you."

Rufus bowed and said, "Nice to see you again, Lord Byles."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a video was sent to all the official members of Ceros-Fagas, Lesta and Freisberg on time.

Footage shows a supposedly dead Byleth Seiros sitting in an office.Behind her are Thetis Seros, the acting leader of Cyros-Farghus, and Claude von Rigon, the leader of the Leista branch.

She stared at the camera and said indifferently: "Two years ago, under the orders of Edelgard von Fresberg, Gargu Maku was bombed by the so-called Fresberg family. Many people in the Lost lives in this incident, including my dear Aunt Lea Theros, who in her last moments begged Thetis Theros to keep my serious injuries a secret."

"And I'm on camera now to tell you that I'm still alive, even if..." Byles glanced at the camera condescendingly, "You failed, Edelgard."

She stared at the camera and continued, "You played dirty tricks and ended up getting nothing. Now, you hide behind the people who worked for you and let them fight bloody, while you hide Anbar by yourself."

"Edelgard..." She raised her head with a provocative look, "I am no longer hiding. Starting today, I will challenge you with my family. You want to end Cyrus? Then come to me. Come and pinch yourself Break my neck."

"I'm waiting for you in Ferdia."

At the end of the video recording, the whole Fudora fell into a frenzy.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Dimitri's closest ally came to Ferdia to meet Beles.Ingrid cried and begged her to forgive herself, and Beles hugged her, comforting her that it was not her fault, no one could predict the future, and she could do nothing; Yanette also rushed towards her while crying; Bayles saw Ash and asked him if everything was alright——Ash didn't hold back, with tears in his eyes, but knowing that Bayes was alive was enough to make him smile.Yanette and Ingrid grabbed his hand and forcibly pulled him into the group embrace; Du Du's figure made Beles feel sad and happy. He was declared dead at the beginning of the war. Thinking of this, It made her eyes moist.Du Du welcomed her back with a warm smile.Afterwards, Mercedes grabbed Dudu and hugged Beles tightly.Before Felix could escape, Shirvan wrapped him around him and forced him to hug Byles as well.

Everyone gathered together tightly with tears in their eyes, looking at each other's identical red eyes.

At midnight, an unknown person sneaked into the headquarters of Cyros-Farghus.The male assailant knocked out a young member and took his key card.

The assailant checked Beles' room on the 21st floor, made sure it was empty, and went back to the elevator to the roof.

On the terrace, under the moonlight, a lone figure waits.The assailant approached the terrace quietly, and the clouds covering the moon finally parted, and the soft clear light illuminated the lone figure in the gazebo.Blue and purple with white petals fell gently on her body, she waited patiently inside, her eyes looked at the man in front of her - she stretched out her hand towards him, with a gentle smile on her face, she whispered:

"Dimitri, welcome home."

【Chapter9END】

The author's words:

About Sutis: Just in case you don’t understand, the Sutis in this paro is not the goddess Sutis in the original work.She is a projection of "psychological" impressions, representing all of Byleth's repressed thoughts and desires.The more Beles suppressed his emotions, the more Suthis exploded.

The relationship between Thetis and Fleur and Beles: It was mentioned earlier that Thetis is Leia's cousin, but do they count as Thetis and Beles?It may be a little confusing.For the time being, Beles regarded Sithis as her uncle, because he and Leia got along like brothers and sisters, and Fleur was her cousin.This setting is easier to understand.

On Edelgard: Well, I'll make a long story short.Edelgard is bold in every single line in the original book, she dared to stand up to everyone in Fordola, it has nothing to do with whether she did it right (I don't want to quarrel on this point) regardless of our mutual Whatever the point of view, it cannot be denied that it takes real courage to declare war on the entire world.In contrast, Edelgard in this paro can be regarded as cowardly. She did not declare war in advance, but directly attacked her opponent with bombs.Edelgard in this novel chooses the path that she sees as the least bloody, if everything goes as she envisioned.
