Three Houses AU where Emile also got to run away with Mercedes and their mother as children. Like… would it have been so hard to grab him too???

In this world he probably would have completely abandoned his last name in favor of his sister’s/mother’s last name (I dunno what their mother’s maiden name is so…) His father wouldn’t have taken kindly to everyone running away like that and hired brigands and such to hunt them down. 

The three of them would try to lay low, surviving off the kindness of the church like in canon. Except this time they are on the move more often.

Emile, seeing he’s endangering his family, would take matters into his own hands going out at night to kill those his father sent himself. Of course, he has an identity to protect so the mask becomes a thing again. He ends up moonlighting as something like a vigilante against his father and even leaves his sister and mother for a time to crusade through the empire when his father starts to get especially hostile. Maybe he met a certain Flame Emperor and maybe he agreed with some of the things they were saying about crests? Maybe they cut a deal where his father dies and he works with them in return?

At the Officer’s Academy he is a Black Eagles student due to a sizable scholarship from the Empire to ensure his attendance, although he interacts a lot with his sister and the Blue Lions. While his true last name is no longer a threat to his family, and was one of the reasons he ended up in the Black Eagles house, he still hates when anyone brings it up. Ferdinand seems especially curious about Emile’s denouncement of his noble title. He has threatened to stab Sylvain at least once for even glancing in Mercedes direction.

He enjoys baking sweets with his sister (especially cookies).
