Wow, that would have been a long drop...
— Anthony
That's what you say? How are you so calm after what just happened? Anthony, we need to talk. Right now.
— Xander, responding to Anthony

Seeds of Doubt (Japanese: 疑惑の種子 Seed of Doubt) is the twentieth chapter of the Revelation campaign of Fire Emblem Fates. In this chapter, a chance encounter causes the group to become suspicious of Anthony.

Plot

Main article: Seeds of Doubt/Script

The group reaches a series of isles and bridges which they need to cross to reach Gyges, the castle where Anankos resides. Sakura worries that the bridges may break from being too old, and the rest of the group begins doubting Anthony's path. To prove the safety of it to them, Anthony crosses a bridge first. As the rest of the group crosses it, the bridge begins to collapse, and Takumi nearly falls, but Leo manages to save him and the groups are all able to cross before it is completely destroyed. Xander begins to seriously question Anthony's loyalty after his less-than-worried remark. Before he is able to do so, however, the group is ambushed by Vallite soldiers.

After crossing the islands, Anthony sees castle Gyges on the horizon. He suggests using a secret back entrance, though Xander is quick to dismiss it, claiming that Anthony was responsible for the bridge's collapse earlier and prepares to kill him, but Corrin defends Anthony, saying that the bridge was old anyways. The other Nohrian siblings, however, take Xander's side. Corrin still refuses to attack Anthony, saying that they won't start doubting their allies just because something might be possible, to which Xander replies that they are as naïve as ever, though that their trust in others was what united them all in the first place. Xander still warns them not to let others take advantage of them.

Summary

After rescuing a young man who claimed he was forced to serve Anankos, the group reaches a series of floating islands linked together by shifting bridges.
