“Not many people in Almyra could mobilize an army this massive. If it's not the king, it's gotta be one of the princes. Which means... Shahid's definitely their commander.”

What Makes a King is the fifth chapter of the Golden Wildfire route in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, and the eighth overall. This chapter only consists of a main quest, "Rematch at Fódlan's Locket". Completing it will end Part I of the Golden Wildfire story.
Story[]
Just as Claude and the Alliance army appear to grasp victory over Count Bergliez at Gronder Field, they are forced to retreat when they learn that Shahid is preparing to invade Fódlan with a far larger army than the one he sent against them two years ago. Nader worries that Shahid is overreaching and celebrating prematurely, and wonders if it's time for him to go his own way instead of following Shahid's command.
