You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to be RATHER unpleasant.

It seems that the feelin of dread you got whenever you escorted the Princess to her ballroom dancing class was justified. You screwed up horribly in the middle of a dance and accidently groped her, causing her to completely lose it, freezing you to a wall and then pnching your light out.

Fortunately, Niklaus was called in (by Pauline?), and he managed to get you out of the ice before you ended up freezing to death. After thanking him and seeing him off, you now get to deal with the Princess's second breakdown.


>Guard Rank: CAT
>Congratulations, you are now an annoying CAT!
>Not one of those fancy pedigree cats, but rather a mangy stray.
>The Princess now kind of likes you a little!
>But she still doesn't consider you to be a person.

M-Marianne?
>This explains so much.

With a tired sigh, you kneel down and extend your hand to the sobbing Marianne.

"I know I really screwed it up the first time, but would you be up for another dance?" you ask, a weary smile on your face.
"Wha..." the Princess slowly looks up at you, choking back tears. "I... I don't... why would you..." she says as she takes your hand without thinking.

As you help Princess Marianne to her feet, she tries her best to regain her composure.

"Y... you know that I don't like dancing..." the Princess says to you, sniffling. "Are you trying to tell another of your bad jokes to try and cheer me up?" she wipes the tears from her eyes with her free hand. "I- I'm the worst kind of person, you don't have to try and-"
"Princess," you cut her off. "I've met horrible people. You're nothing like them."

Your words once again taking her off-guard, the Princess starts sobbing uncontrollably.

Come on, people we just messed her up just by touching her. We need to show her that it's okay so going back to our regular routine of sucky jokes is best, no hugging!

...Why are people suggesting Reinhold embrace the girl who's been traumatized by BAD TOUCH? Squeeze her hand and smile at her. Respect her boundaries, don't assume you know how she feels about gestures that are entirely safe and innocuous to you.

>>27852608
Not as much as you'd like. When you hug someone you wrap your arms around them, which makes some rape survivors feel very unsafe. It does vary from person to person of course.

I think youre missing the point thats trying to be made, which is that something very traumatic just happened as a result of physical contact, no matter the type,,just moments ago, and it's very unlikely that either reinhold or the Princess would be looking to try for more intimate contact right now.
Not saying the sentiment inst fine, it just doesnt seem plausible they'd do that at this moment. maybe after theyve had a while to calm down. right now it would probably at least push her into further hysterics.

>>27852777
But...no. It's not "physical contact" that was the problem. It was "Unwelcome physical contact" that was the problem.

Not to mention that the reason she feels horrible and apologetic is because she thinks that nobody likes her. Intimate contact, in this case, hugging, shows acceptance.
>>
Crying women.

You are no stranger to this. Acting on what you learned as a small child, you pull the Princess close, and wrap your arms around her.

"W- wha-" as Princess Marianne slowly realizes what you're doing, she starts sobbing even harder. Holding you tight, she cries...

...and cries...

...and cries some more.

After several minutes of this, the Princess finally manages to regain her composure enough to let you go and then dry her face with a handkerchief.

"I... I'm so sorry..." she mumbles. "Pauline, I... thank you for getting Melanie for me."
"Don't worry about it, Princess," Pauline replies with a warm smile.
"And... please don't tell anyone else about what happened."
"I wouldn't dream of it."

The Princess then turns to you.

"I'l be calling it a night here," she says. "You don't have to escort me to my room today, but... Melanie, would you mind?"
"Of course not," Melanie replies, patting the Princess on the head.

>>27852831
I think it's best if we step off from this one
>>
>>27852910

Here's how I see things:

Marianne - We're her role model... in a way. Or at least a friend she can confide to.

Sylvie - Obvious love interest.
>>
>>27852974
Nico is hard to get ahold of, plus she might actually be a lesbian. It's been hinted at.

>>27852982
Since when?

>>27852986
I'm sure she has at least some sort of chest. archelon only ever said that Sylvie's was better, IIRC.
>>
>>27853007
She's boring. She may be cute but she doesn't do anything but be cute.
>>
>>27852901

Yes this
>>
Oh and for all you nay sayers back in the earlier threads, i'd like to point out this: we have (sort of) successfully groped the princess. I feel like a goal has been accomplished here today.
>>
>>27853032
When was that established?
>>
>>27853046
Shit, you're right. I feel like an idiot for doubting you, anon.
>>
>>27853007
Clearly what we need is to have them both, at the same time. But since their fathers would murder us if we went harem, there's only one way to do that.

We need to find the Potara Earrings...
>>
>>27853046
Wouldn't it technically be "there yesterday"
>>
>>27853007
Sylvie is the lowest of love interests. We've known her for less than a week and already she's pretty obviously crushing on us hard.

My favorite irony is that Nico's foul mouthed attitude is much less of a turn off than Sylvie's short tempered FISTS OF RAGE attitude.

Considering the kind of ups and downs we've had with the princess when we further our relationship with her, I expect falling in love with someone not to happen so easily and quickly. It's very boring, especially in comparison to the rest of the quest.

Eh. I'd prefer the ride to end with us becoming her best friend and confidant.

I for one would like to know if the princess knows that we were raped or only thinks we were beaten.

She's already halfway there once she puzzles out what we said and figures out we were raped a bunch.

Especially since you slipped out our friend's name and she's married to a famous artist so she'll probably be at a ball or something and they'll talk.
>>
>>27853365
At the very least she's at least drawing parallels with her own experiences. A guy obviously got close to her in the past just to take advantage of her and our whole "she said she loved me but then she did that" thing we let slip really matches up with that kind of experience.

Archelon has already stated that Nico's aren't much smaller than than Sylvie's. She definetly not flat chested.

Prove it. I don't remember arc saying Nico was average in her endowments.

One of the previous threads Arch stated that Sylvie is above average and Nico is smaller. Go search the archive if you want but fuck that noise for me.
>>
>>27853556
Nico is smaller. Nico is a good fighter. Considering she's never complained about her tits I'm placing her at AA. That's not super flat but flat enough for armor without chest wraps.

I don't give a shit because Nico is worst girl.
>>
>>27853556
I think he also said that Marianne is the DFC of the quest too but that could just be me expecting the Tsundere to have the smallest boobs and getting my facts mixed up.

If I have one complaint about this series is that Arch typing so slow gives the waifu fags way too much fucking time to debate.

I don't think this is a productive area of speculation.

"It's still kind of my job to escort you around," you say.
"Eh- but you don't have to-" the Princess stammers.
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut if you want."
"Th... that's not what I... okay."

Slumping in defeat, the Princess waves goodbye to Pauline and motions for the two of you to follow her.

"I hope you're feeling better tomorrow!" Pauline says, doing her best to keep up a cheerful tone.
"Sorry for messing up your class, Pauline," you say to her with a slight bow.
"Goodbye, Mrs. Pauline," Melanie says, doing the same.

The three of you then solemnly head to the Princess's room, walking through the long hallways and up several stairwells without a word. Stopping in front of her door, the Princess turns to you.

"...I'm so sorry about what I did to you today," she says to you, looking extremely guilty. "You've obviously been through far worse things than I have, but you still manage to... never mind," she sighs, placing a hand to her forehead. "I know I'm awful, but... thank you for not hating me. Even though I deserve it."

She then turns to Melanie and hugs her tightly.

"Melanie... thank you for always being there for me," she says.
"That's what friends are for," Melanie replies as she returns the hug.

The Princess lets Melanie go, and then opens her door.

"I need to be alone now... see you tomorrow," she says, nodding to the two of you as she closes the door behind her.

Looking at the Princess's closed door, Melanie breathes a long sigh.

"Oh my... I haven't seen her this upset since -he- left..." Melanie says. "I do hope that she'll be okay."

She then turns to you and bows deeply.

"I'm sorry that you had to see that, Mr. Reinhold. As you can see, the Princess is rather delicate," Melanie says.
"Yeah..." you reply, sighing. "...I really screwed up today."
"I actually think that you handled yourself wonderfully," Melanie smiles. "Most people would have blown up at her, and that would have only made things even worse."
"I guess. Uh... how much did you tell her about me?" you ask. "She said that you told her about Citrine..."

Upon hearing you ask that question, Melanie places a hand over her mouth in surprise.

"Oh- don't worry, I would never gossip about your past!" Melanie says emphatically. After she explained to me what happened, I only told him that Citrine was your childhood friend who we ran into while in town. I didn't say anything else!"
"Oh, okay," you say with a relieved sigh. "Thanks."
"Mr. Arnaud says that it's poor form for a servant to gossip, after all," Melanie says, smiling.

I think it's obvious that Nicollete knew Lucianna was a girl the entire time. But, while Sylvie might be up for a little experimentation she wants the D too much.
>>
>>27854358
Go do something else, like sparring to let off steam or reading.

She just said she doesn't gossip.

Or at least say that we're curious, but she or the Princess can tell us when they feel ready to tell us.

>>27854358

>ask Melanie about something else

Don't see why we should ask about "him" if she didn't talk about us.

But do it while we are walking towards the kitchens.

Go see Nicolette or Arnaud. Asking Melanie about "him" would probably either result in her stone walling us for the princess, or the princess blowing up on Reinhold and Melanie herself if she found out about the conversation.

"Well, thanks for taking care of things," you say to Melanie. "I'm gonna go blow off some steam now."
"Oh, perhaps I could- never mind," Melanie says, shaking her head. "Take care, Mr. Reinhold," she bows.
"You two, Melanie," you say as you turn towards the nearest stairwell.
"Oh, and um, thanks for being a friend to the Princess!"

With a wave of acknowedgement, you quickly make your way to the training hall... which looks brand-new! You have no idea how Niklaus did it, but it's like all the destruction from the past few days has been erased outright. Ignoring the frightened stares of the guards around you, you walk into the training hall, quickly head for the bin where practice swords are kept, and grab one.

"Hey, what're you doing here so early?" someone says as they tap your shoulder.
"Hm?" you turn around, and are met with the familiar sight of Nicolette, who is wearing a loose shirt and shorts. "Oh, hey."
"It's kind of weird seeing you down here this early," she says with a chuckle... and then stops herself. "What's wrong, man, you look kind of pissed. Did you get into a fight with Marianne or something?" she asks.

>how do you reply?
>>
>>27855209
Walk over to weapon stand. Grab Staff. Shove into Nicolette's hands. Ready stance. "I'll tell you after I work back my appetite."
>>
>>27855209
"That's one way of putting it. Perversely, I think we're on better terms now. What are you doing down here early?"
>>
>>27855209

"No, I just screwed up dancing lessons and ended up making her cry. I just hope she doesn't think I hate her now."
>>
>>27855209
"Sort of."

No need to elaborate, we already had Pauline keep quiet about it, it's not a rumor we should spread around.

Follow up on asking for a spar.

"it wasn't like that some accidnets happned. she just blasted me with ice, froze me to a wall and darn near died from hypotermia. but i did at least manage to walk away alive and unharmed as well as with better terms with the princess, i didn't realize she was THAT good with magic. anyway, we're here so it's all good."

This is real personal shit that the princess specifically told us not to talk about, unless you want tomboy route or get rid of some princess flags.

"Yeah, something like that..." you say with a wistful smile as you pat her on the shoulder.
"Whoa," Nicolette blinks a few times. "I thought you had a pretty long fuse, but I guess she gets to everyone after a while..." she says as she places her hand over yours before brushing it off. "You wanna talk about it, man?'
"Maybe later," you reply as you walk towards a nearby weapons rack. "But for now..."

You grab a practice staff from the weapons rack and toss to Nicolette.

"The time has come..." you say as you take off your jacket and toss it aside. "...for us to do battle," you say with a cold stare.
"Heh," Nicolette says, looking down at the training staff in her hands and then back at you. "my old man does say that the best way to get rid of a bad mood is to fight it away..."

Nicolette then walks towards the middle of the training hall, twirling her training staff as she walks. You follow her, stretching as you walk. As you stop in the center of the hall, a crowd begins to form.

"NICOLETTE!!" you say in a booming voice. "THE TASTE OF VICTORY WAS SWEET, AND I HAVE COME FOR A SECOND SERVING!!" you shout, brandishing your practice sword.
"IS THAT SO, OLD FRIEND?" Nicolette replies, joining in on your little performance. "BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS YOU WHO ARE MISTAKEN, AS VICTORY SHALL BE MINE!" she bellows, spinning her staff around several times before taking a stance.

The crowd of guards who have gathered around start cheering, and you can hear several taking bets already.

"My money's on the Captain!"
"Naw, Reinhold's got this one down! I was there last time!"
"What? He barely won that one!"
"Quick, someone go get Arnaud! He loves this shit!"

With a sigh, you turn to Nicolette.

"Sylvie isn't here to ref, but you want to go like before? First to five?"
"You're on, buddy," Nicolette replies, a wild grin on her face. "Your mood's about to get even worse though, since I'm about to kick your ass!"

Letting the pent-up frustration from today break through, you dash towards Nicolette before she can even react. With a roar, you swing for her stomach, but she manages to get her staff in the path of your sword before it can connect.

CRACK

Nicolette skids back a few feet and tries to regain her balance...

...but you're already moving in for the kill. As Nicolette attempts to get her staff in between your sword and her body, you slide right around her and swing at her hip.

SMACK

The crowd cheers as Nicolette drops to one knee.

"1-0, Reinhold!" a guard shouts.

With a scowl, Nicolette slaps her hip and stands back up, giving her staff a twirl before getting back into a stance. She takes the initiative this time, thrusting right at your chest. But you dodge to the side, and bat her staff away.

Jumping back to regain her balance, Nicolette swings at you...

...and you meet it with a hard vertical swing of your own.

A day's worth of pent-up aggravation channels itself through your arms, sending Nicolette's staff flying in the air. Doing her best not to be diarmed, Nicolette does her best to hold onto it... but her light weight serves as a disadvantage here as she starts to tilt backwards.

Not one to waste an opening, you quickly run in and hit her in the stomach with your sword, leading to more cheers from the crowd.

"That's 2-0 Reinhold!" a guard shouts. "You better step up your game, Captain!"
"God fucking damn it..." Nicolette growls as she forces herself back to her feet. "You better watch what you say or I'll be taking YOU on next."

On a related note, there has been a distinct lack of evil for our sword to smite.

The only smiting we've really done was Monique, and that more qualifies as "the fist that smites poncy gits", which really doesn't have the same ring to it.

Poncy gits are a much more likely problem for a Princess to face than evil is. Sure the title isn't all that impressive, but when she's surrounded by annoying as shit nobles and needs a save we'll be glad we have it.

Nicolette taps the ground a few times before doing a wide swing with her staff, which you dodge easily. This seems to have been a move to throw you off balance, however, as she quickly segues this into a thrusting blow.

Taking a mental note that she seems to be getting mad, you manage to bat Nicolette's staff aside before it can hit you in your face, and then dash in to negate her reach advantage. As you swing at her hands in an attempt to disarm her, Nicolette quickly lets go of her staff to save her hands from getting hit, then jumping in the air as she retrieves her weapon.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

On her descent, Nicolette lets out a shrill cry as she swings her staff downwards. Seeing this coming, you try and dodge to the side...

...but you were too slow, your collarbone being hit HARD by her staff.

"One hit for Nicolette!" a man shouts.

As this isn't the same persom who'd been calling the score, you turn to see who's taken the role now... and see Sir Gregory and Arnaud standing at the front of the crowd.

"I had no intention on missing out on yet -another- fight today..." Sir Gregory says, running a hand through his hair.
"...and the same goes for me," Arnaud joins in, smiling at the two of you.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Sir Gregory says, crossing his arms. "Get back to your match!"

With newfound resolve, Nicolette runs straight for you. As Nicolette's staff shoots towards you, you prepare to parry it... but instead of aiming at you, her staff hits the ground and she's sent vaulting in the air above you.

Quickly doing your best to position yourself to defend against an attack from the air, you raise your sword in a defensive stance above you as she sends her staff shooting directly at your face. Batting it out of the air, you dash in the direction that she should land...

...but you forgot to take into account that hitting one end of an object that's in the air causes it to -spin.- Taking advantage of her low weight for a change, Nicolette twirls through the air and lands directly behind you, sweeping her staff under your feet and sending you face-first into the ground.

"That's 2-2, I believe?" sir Gregory says with a smirk.

Spitting the dirt out of your mouth, you groan as you return to your feet. Again with the legsweeps? Dusting yourself off, you grip your sword tightly and run in, trying to hit Nicolette before she can react.

"HAAAAA!"

With a roar, you swing directly at her stomach, your sword met with her staff. Sent skidding back again, Nicolette quikly regains her balance and sidesteps your next lunge, spinning her staff around her and trying for another leg sweep.

Not one to be taken twice in the same fight from the same trick, you leap right over her staff and kick down as hard as you can just as it goes under your feet, sending Nicolette crashing into the ground.

She scrambles to get back up, but it's too late.

"Tap." you say as you lightly tap her on the top of her head with your sword.
"Haha, excellent!" Arnaud says, clapping. 3-2, Reinhold!"

With a grin, you jump back as Nicolette swings her staff at you. Regaining your footing, you come back in low and thrust your sword right at her chest. Sliding her staff through her hands, Nicolette bats you aside and spins her weapon around, coming in with a downward smash.

Her staff hits the ground with a loud crash, but you managed to jump out of the way just before being hit. Doubling back, you run in before she can pull her staff back for another attack...

...but you forgot to take into account just how fast she is. Nicolette quickly pulls her staff back, and tries to spin it around your sword. Doing your best to country her attack, you push hard...

...and find that both of your weapons are sent flying in the air.

"Oh shi-" Nicolette shouts, stunned by what just happened.

But unlike her, you were expecting to be disarmed at least once during this fight. Lunging as fast as you can, you rush towards your fallen sword, grab it, and run straight towards Nicolette before she can react.

"Gotcha," you say, tapping her on the head once again.
"Fuckin' hell..." Nicolette grumbles as she reaches down and grabs her staff.
"4-2, Reinhold!" Sir Gregory shouts. "Looks like you're on the ropes, Nicolette..."

Glaring at Sir Gregory and then at you, Nicolette slowly rises...

...and then goes on the offensive! going low, she attempts a legsweep, but you jump back out of her staff's reach. She then thrusts directly at your face, which you sidestep and then counter by bashing her staff with your sword as hard as you can.

As Nicolette is sent stumbling, you rush in for the kill. With a horizontal slash to her side, you end this...

...or not. Nicolette manages to get her staff in the way at the last minute, parrying your blow and countering with a wide swipe to force you back. Seeing that Nicolette's trying to play the reach game, you realize that you're going to have to power through her defenses.

Running in, you beat her staff swings aside as you quickly close the distance, but she dodges just as you thust towards her and tries to swing at your head. Bashing her weapon out of the way, you pull your sword back, lunge at Nicolette, and ROAR.

Her eyes grow wide as you rush in before she can pull her staff in to defend herself, and then you swing.

HARD.

Panic kicks in and Nicolette manages to pull her staff in just in time to keep you from pulverizing her side...

...but she's not strong enough to block it completely. You push through, hitting her staff and then Nicolette herself, the impact from which sends her flying several feet before she lands flat on her back.

"Oh... oh my," Arnaud says in a tone of surprise. Victory for Reinhold!"

>>27857703
Help her up, thank her for a good fight. The most obvious things she did wrong was she tried the same trick twice (the leg sweep) and she got all surprised when she was disarmed. The best thing to do would be to train repeatedly with disarms to get rid of the latter weakness, but food would be good as well.
We should ask her what she saw in us too.

Yes, you do. They are sparring to get better, not to just play around.
Telling her sorry for giving everything and using full force is just rude. Do you think she wasn't giving her all during that last attack attempt?
>>
>>27857949
You have clearly never sparred. Sparring to get better or not, you pull your blows. That's not nearly the same as not giving it your all.
>>
>>27857949
>They are sparring to get better, not to just play around.
They're not going to get better if you fucking cripple them.

The point is to test and learn muscle memory, not to pulverize their insides.

Though, I am prepared to admit that a medium/high magic world like this one might be a little more tolerant on the force because magic can prevent permanent damage.
>>
>>27857949
All sparring is to get better. You do not know of which you speak, gentle anon.
>>
>>27857907
No, but theres a time and a place. You pull punches against someone you don't respect enough to go all out against, or when you're playing.

A spar is not playing. It is testing your skills against theirs to see who will win. Its mean as a type of training. We didn't strike all out because we wanted to hurt her, we did it because we wanted to break her guard like a real enemy would want too.

Be less of a condescending faggot pls.

>>27857988

You appear unclear on the concept. Sparring is a means of practicing technique. You don't just half ass it, but you never hit hard enough to actually injure the other person.
>>
>>27857973
So according to you, soldiers are never trained on what to do when an opponent attempts to overcome their defenses with force. Because its not allowed in sparring.

Someone has definitely clearly never sparred.

>Because its not allowed in sparring.
frowned upon is not the same as not allowed.

From time to time, someone loses it. And they apologise afterwards, and everything is fine.

Sparring means "injury may result, but I'll try not to cripple you"

Also, soldiers aren't trained in what to do when they're injured. They're trained NOT TO GET INJURED.

That first one is actually kind of dependent on the army. I guess that second one too. If we're talking about, say, mass conscription, their training amounts to "Point sharp end at other people"

-I- remember training exercises with dummy rounds that hurt but don't kill.

-I- remember that cops get tazed and pepper sprayed as part of their basic training.

-I- remember that if you get hurt during a sparring match, you suck it up, because you're supposed to learn from the pain.

Ok, I want you to take that first one and apply it to that third one. No one's saying people don't get hurt sparring, they're saying you should be trying not to injure the otehr person.

"Like a flash, Nicolette lunges at you with her staff at top speed, even faster than the vast majority of the swordsmen that you faced in the tournament. Seeing it coming, you try and sidestep her thrust so that you can close the distance between you...

...but your foot slips.

Your eyes go wide with shock as you start to lose your footing... but your fall is stopped.

By Nicolette's staff. As it hits you square in the chest.

The hit is completely clean, and you are sent flying back, tumbling over yourself backwards several times before you finally land on your back.

"Shit..." you mumble to yourself.
"Um, one for Nicolette!" you hear Sylvie shout as you slowly rise to your feet."
