"Oh my goodness, she is pretty."

Standing just a few meters away from Adalbert there was this young girl with platinum hair that had completely enticed him the first moment he saw her in the main street of the capital of Ylisse. When he arrived at the city looking for clues of the location of Stahl he never expected to end up finding such a girl. He was rather nervous with approaching and talking to her, what if she though he was creepy?.Because of that he instead though of the most rational approach and decided to stalk her around the city, hoping that she wouldn't notice the knight ridding a horse following her. At one point he was about to enter a place when a pair of guards stopped him and said "Sorry sir, but no unauthorized horses are allowed past this point.". Normally Adalbert wouldn't appreciate getting rid of his mount so easily without his supervision, but it wasn't any normal situation, a cute girl was involved, and she was getting away, so after handing the horse to a stableman next to the guards, he ran quickly in the place and looking through the crowd gathered there he found the girl again. Adalbert tried not to be seen and stayed a bit on the back lines, but not enough to not be able to see her. It was then when another person poked him in the shoulder and said "Hey, what do you think of the speech?"
("Wait, what? Speech?")
He then snapped and realized that he was standing in a courtyard and crowd gathered were people being persuaded to join the army of Ylisse, more surprising was that the venerable Lucina herself was the one giving the speech. While he was surprised at first, his search turned out better than he expected, since now he could ask the sons of the former ruler Chrom about the possible whereabouts of his father and maybe even he could travel with them in his search. Standing next to the beautiful Lucina there was youngster not older than Adalbert himself that, if he wasn't mistaken, was Xavier, who was caught yawing by Adalbert ("Well, he looks less regal than I expected") and after some minutes stood up next to his sister and commenced to talk
[b]*Xavier opening speech*[b]
Well now it was clear why Lucina was the one in charge, Xavier lacked confidence. But still he was more likely to give Adalbert some minutes of his time than Lucina, so Adalbert was determined to go speak with him after the speech was over when he noticed Xavier standing up and leaving the place. Adalbert sneaked out of the courtyard and tried to follow the venerable when he was once again stopped by one guard
"Halt! Who goes there?"
Okay, think fast...
"One night I was playing cards with Xavier, he lost and now he owns me money. He probably doesn't remember because he was drunk. Go tell him I'm waiting"
