Hmm... So THIS is the world that has been kept a secret from me? Pretty dull if you ask me. Maybe if I can find this Hoshido place, then it'll all make sense. From what I overheard back home, my dad is a bigger deal here than I thought. What's he called again? Big Cheese of Hoshido? Which would make me... I dunno. Little Cheese? I must be some kind of royalty though. I always knew Dad was a major deal. But, royalty?! I still can't believe it.

Father & Liege is the seventh paralogue chapter of Fire Emblem Fates. As a paralogue chapter, its events are not integral to the game's main storyline and can be done at the player's leisure. The chapter is unlocked after either chapter 13 in Birthright or chapter 17 in Revelation is cleared, and Ryoma is married.
In this chapter, Shiro, tired of his father Ryoma's neglect, flees his Deeprealm and runs into trouble with a group of wandering bandits.
Plot
- Main article: Father & Liege/Script
The Hoshidan princes Ryoma and Takumi discover that Ryoma's son Shiro has gone missing from his Deeprealm. The two incredibly worried brothers immediately form a search party to locate him. Meanwhile, Shiro arrives in Ryoma's world. He resolves to seek out Hoshido and find out if his father truly is the crown prince. However, he is accosted by bandits led by Tarba, who demand his weapons and armor or his life. Shiro prepares to fight them just as Ryoma and Takumi arrive to rescue him.
When Ryoma reaches Shiro, he demands that Shiro flee and leave the bandits to him. However, Shiro remains confident that he can take them on, although he agrees to follow his commands. After a fierce battle, Ryoma rebukes Shiro, stating that he has not been maturing into the role of a prince of Hoshido. However, Shiro calls Ryoma out for his failure to spend time with him and be his father and points out that if he had simply been honest with him, he would have taken himself more seriously. He admits to being shaken by the battle, and Ryoma explains that the power they wield comes with great responsibility. Realizing Shiro cannot continue his development in the Deeprealms, Ryoma allows Shiro to leave and travel with their group.
Summary
Ryoma's son, Shiro, disappears from his Deeprealm, having doubts about his bloodline. After Ryoma receives word, he takes a group out in search of Shiro.

Character data
Note: The returning characters list only those recruited by the time this chapter can first be unlocked (after completing chapter 8 in Birthright or after completing chapter 17 in Revelation). In Birthright, Felicia is only a returning character if Corrin is male, while Jakob is only a returning character if Corrin is female; in Revelation, both Felicia and Jakob are available regardless of Corrin's gender. As a paralogue chapter, there is no set timeframe in which the chapter must be taken on; thus, it is possible to have recruited more characters than the above by the point the chapter is started.
