Beginning log

Having anticipated Queen Elincia's attack, the majority of Duke Ludveck's forces left Felirae. The troops stationed at Castle Felirae were merely the bait with which to lure Geoffrey and his troops away from Melior. In Geoffrey's absence, Ludveck's objective is nothing less than to take the royal palace...and Queen Elincia with it. Lucia, foreseeing a possible attack on the capital, arranged for Queen Elincia and Princess Leanne to be secretly moved to Fort Alpea. Yet Lucia herself is unable to evade Duke Ludveck's agents. She is captured in the dead of night while attempting to contact an informant. Queen Elincia receives the sad news the next morning.

Trivia

• The map used in this chapter would get reused for a Fire Emblem Fates DLC map, Vanguard Dawn.
• If Leanne dies on this map, she will still return to the player's army in Chapter 11 of Part III, as if she had not died. She will be absent for the rest of Elincia's Gambit.
