The Maiden's Peril is the fifth chapter of the Scarlet Blaze route of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, and the eighth overall.
Story[]
Dimitri attempts to take advantage of the turmoil in the Adrestian Empire by sending an army to root out any lords disloyal to the Kingdom. His march southwest leads him toward Arianrhod, where Count Rowe, the first lord to betray the Kingdom for the Empire, is stationed.
The Imperial army sets up camp in the former Arundel territory after marching west via Garreg Mach Monastery to acquire fresh troops to come to the defense of Arianrhod, with the help of Duke Gerth and any Western Imperial lords able to spare troops for the mission.
Meanwhile, Count Rowe gets impatient waiting for Edelgard to arrive with her army and considers surrendering to Dimitri's assault in order to save face, but his knights, Lonato and Gwendal, convince him to stay the course by telling him that his people would never forgive him if he were to switch sides a second time.

Dimtri's forces infiltrate the city and attack Gwendal, hoping to put pressure on Count Rowe and force a surrender. If Edelgard's army makes it to Gwendal before he is defeated, the Rowe soldiers declare their allegiance to the Empire and turn against Dimitri. If not, then Count Rowe sides with the Kingdom, and he and his troops have to be killed by the Imperial army.
When Dimitri is defeated, Dedue offers to give cover to the king as he escapes, but Ingrid chooses to do so in his stead. Before she is fatally wounded, Ingrid tells one of her soldiers to deliver Lúin to him. A downtrodden Dimitri returns to Fhirdiad and promises to avenge her death (and that of Mercedes, if she was also killed).
With the western and eastern fronts under Imperial control, Edelgard decides to return to Enbarr to recuperate and re-evaluate her strategy for future battles.
