A Patreon Tier V commission featuring Leila from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Leila had served as a spy and skilled infiltrator for House Ostia along with her partner Matthew. Together they formed a brilliant detective duo capable of handling any task that the Marquess gave them. Over time, Matthew and Leila discovered their feelings for each other, and the two would end up becoming lovers. At first they were worried that a romance might interfere with their work, but the Marquess and his other retainers gave their full support.

One day, Leila was given the order to infiltrate the Dread Isle and investigate the Black Fang, a shadowy group of assassins who were hatching a plot that could throw the entire continent of Elibe into chaos. There she had served as a double-agent, gathering intelligence for Ostia as a Rose amid Fangs. Before returning to her most dangerous mission yet, she and Matthew had shared one final conversation with each other. Matthew had invited her to his home town to meet his parents, but he had already slipped away before getting to hear her answer. After this mission, he was going to ask her to put this life behind her… but it seemed that fate had other plans.

Her life, her voice, her smile… it had been stolen away by one of the Four Fangs, Jaffar the "Angel of Death". All Matthew could think of was how to bring Jaffar down. If he could do that, he would be able to mourn Leila. That's what he believed... It didn't matter that Jaffar had no will of his own. Even if he was acting on Nergal's orders, he was still Leila’s enemy. But the moment Matthew was about to kill Jaffar… he could feel Leila trying to stop him. The girl Nino, she didn't deserve to suffer for the sake of his revenge. Upon sparring him, Jaffar had mentioned there was a name clinging to Leila's final breath. She said “Matthew”.

It felt like this had all happened a lifetime ago. After being summoned to the Order of Heroes, Matthew served as a faithful spy for the Kingdom of Askr. Underneath his cheerful and optimistic demeanor, the pain of losing Leila still weighed heavily on him. But there was a glimmer of hope he held on to. The Summoner was capable of pulling heroes from other worlds and times into this one. If even the Gods could be brought here, then maybe...

The day it finally happened Matthew was speechless. She was here, Leila was actually here! And just as beautiful as the day he lost her. Perhaps he could find a way to change her fate. But even if it wasn't possible... at least they still had this moment together. This time there would be no words left unsaid, no desires left unfulfilled, and most importantly no regrets for either of them.

"Leila, I always hoped I'd be able to see you again in this world. Now that it's happened, I..."
"Oh Matthew, when we leave this life, we'll do it together. Someday..."
