Cordelia ' s crush on Chrom was supposed to be a reference to Catria ' s crush on Marth . It ' s another pegasus knight having a crush on their lord . It ' s just sad to see that Cordelia doesn ' t even have an Alevel support with Chrom at least . IIRC I felt marrying off Frederick to Cordelia was a huge mistake as she says she still thinks about Chrom but Frederick asks her to give him a chance . Since her battle dialogue never changes and her supports with her child , it seems to be a really sad marriage that Cordelia can never move past Chrom . It happens again in Fates to some extent . Scarlet has no support with Ryoma although they do have dialogue together in the story . At least Oboro is not hindered at all on her crush on Takumi .
