The Exalt and the King/Script
Emmeryn and Chrom approach the Ylisse-Plegia border, where its King Gangrel and Aversa await. Emmeryn asks Gangrel if Maribelle is unharmed, and Gangrel reveals Maribelle being held hostage by a Plegian brigand. Aversa claims that Maribelle crossed the Plegian border without Plegian consent and wounded Plegian soldiers who intended to escort her back to Ylisse, though Maribelle asserts Aversa's claim is a lie; Maribelle reveals that Gangrel and Aversa invaded Ylisse and razed an entire village, as well as captured Maribelle and dragged her across the border when she tried to intervene, pointing to the damaged village as proof. After hearing Maribelle's appeal, Emmeryn believes her and requests Gangrel to release Maribelle. Gangrel proposes a trade: the Fire Emblem for Maribelle. Gangrel reveals that with it, he intends to wage war against Ylisse in retribution for the atrocities done unto the Plegians by the previous exalt, Emmeryn's father. Maribelle protests to serving as a bargaining tool, and Gangrel ceases negotiations and sends Plegian brigands to take the Fire Emblem by force. Aversa approaches Maribelle to taunt her before a wind spell fells Maribelle's captor; Ricken arrives to rescue Maribelle, casting his wind spell at Aversa before fleeing with Maribelle.
Gangrel, satisfied with the war that has started, tells the troop captain in the area, Orton, to kill as many Ylisseans as he can before leaving.
Once the battle ends, Lissa and Maribelle reunite. Chrom and Emmeryn reconvene to discuss the events that transpired. Frederick points out that Gangrel will be rallying his forces if they have not mobilized already, and suggests that the group return to Ylisstol to discuss their strategy. Emmeryn agrees, fearing a war and prioritizing the safety of the Ylissean.
Summary
Emmeryn confronts King Gangrel of Plegia, who demands the Fire Emblem, an item vital to the world's future. The parley ends with a declaration of war.

If the player is playing on Hard or above and wants to bring Maribelle and Ricken to safety, it is best to clear the first paralogue first in order to obtain the Rescue staff. Luckily, even if your only staff user up to this point, Lissa, has somehow not leveled her magic stat at all up to this point, she can still easily rescue both of them at once. On the first turn, Ricken should pair up with Maribelle, who should move as far south as she possibly can. With pair up bonuses from Miriel, even a level 1 Lissa will have just enough magic to rescue the two across the southeast cliff.
