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 have some issues.

King Thierri pulled Sir Gregory into an impromptu coference with King Celestino, so the rest of you were sent off ahead of them to check out the rooms where you'll be staying for the duration of your time in Marconetti.

While you all worked it out amongst yourselves who would be getting what room, Luciana went off to find her brother Emilio's new bodyguard, Karel.


>Congratuations, you are now a mangy DOG!
>While dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...
>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!
>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.

"Hey," you say, extending a hand. "I thought it would be nice to meet a fellow tourney winner, and Princess Luciana kind of insisted..."
"Ah," Karel replies as he shakes your hand. "Yes, she is rather insistent..." he laughs nervously.
"I got my job the same way as you, actually."
"Oh, you did? That's gr..."

As he realizes just who you are, Karel's eyes grow wide with surprise.

"...you're Reinhold?" he asks,
"Oh yeah, I hadn't introduced myself yet..." you reply apologetically.
"Oh... oh my..." he says to himself, pacing back and forth. "YOU'RE the winner of Granache's Royal Swordsmanship Tournament?"
"Looks like you have a fanboy, Reinhold..." Nicolette teases.

"I honestly can't believe..." Karel says, laughing. "I mean, the King wouldn't have even had the idea to hold a tournament here in Marconetti if not for the impression you made on Princess Luciana, and now here you are..."
"He's honestly not that big of a deal," Marianne remarks.

"She's right," you say, lowering your head in shame. "with my newly shattered ego, I'm useless."
"I hope you regain your fragile sense of self-worth before the party, at least," Marianne says, smirking at you. "I'd hate to see you turn into a blubbering mess in public when Monique inevitable says something rude to you."

"See?" Luciana pays Karel on the shoulder, laughing. "I wasn't lying when I told you that he was funny!"
"Umm, sure..." Karel replies with an awkward smile. "I'm honestly surprised by how casual you are with Princess Marianne here. From what Prince Emilio was telling me, I wouldn't have expected her to even tolerate that kind of thing..."
"Marianne may pretend like she's all mean and scary, but she's actually really sweet!" Luciana says as she wraps an arm around her friend. "It's just that Reinhold's sharper than Emilio is so he picked up on that pretty quickly."
"Umm... okay?" Karel looks at the two princesses, clearly confused.

"So, um... you won the tournment here, righT?" you ask, trying to change the subject.
"Hm? Um- yes, I did," Karel replies. "That's the entire reason that I was able to become Prince Emilio's bodyguard," he says, smiling slightly.
"Is that the sword you use in the tourment?" you ask, pointing to the rapier that's hanging from Karel's belt.

"M- my sword?" Karel stammers. "No, this Flamberge was a gift from my mother for winning. I used a standard rapier during the tournament itself," he says, removing his sword from his belt. "This one is really nice though, would you like to see it?"

>yeah, sure
>no thanks, that's alright
>>
>>28277358
"Sure, I've never used a rapier before."
We haven't, right?

He seems enthusiastic. Let's humor him. That said, glad Marie handled that well enough. Love that she bounces back off of Reinhold now.
>>
>>28277358

>>yeah, sure

Treat it carefully.

Test its balance and try a stroke or two before returning it.

>>28277391
The closest Reinhold's been to a rapier before is when he shattered the one that Monique used during the tournament.

>>28277358
>yeah, sure
WE MUST TRY OUT ENCHANTED SWORDS FOR THE FIRST TIME!
i wonder if there is an enchantment to have our sword to be more accurate or damaging in it's blows? or even have the blade lengthen or shorten at command?
>>
>>28277358
>yeah, sure
>>
>>28277358

Now, see, my problem with this response is that it's not nearly enthusiastic enough. We finally have someone our own age we can talk to about swords and we're acting casual?

Holy crap, guys, we need to get right in there. Comment on the width and keenness of the blade. Admire the hilt and the crossguard. Does it have any ornamentation? What's it made of?

"Yeah, sure," you say. "I've never really used a rapier before."
"Here you go," Karel replies, handing you his sword.
"...huh, this is lighter than I thought..."

Taking care to stand far enouh away from the others that you won't be at risk of accidentally stabbing someone, you remove the rapier from its scabbard and take a close look at its edge, admiring the blade's wavelike shape.

"Yeah, this is pretty nice..." you say, swinging it a few times to get a bearing on its weight.
"Yeah... I'm still kind of attached to my old sword, but this one really is crafted well," Karel says proudly. "And since it's a flamberge, it's also enchanted to catch fire on command."

"I do hope you're not thinking of lighting that thing in here," Marianne says, looking at you derisively.
"No, I know better than that," you reply as you hand back the rapier. "It is pretty cool, though,"
"Enchanted objects are really expensive, so I have no idea how my mother was able to afford it... but youre right, it is really cool," Karel says, smiling. "I'm going to have to train for a while to actually use its ignition function effectively, though..." he sighs.

"But, um, it's weighted pretty well for the finesse-based style of fighting that I was trained in," Karel says. "I didn't take too long before I was used to this one."
"Yeah, I can imagine that it would take a while to get used to using a new sword," you reply. "This one right here's been with me since I was eight," you say as you place a hand on the pommel of your sword.
"...wow, that long? My mother didn't even let me touch anything aside from a practice sword until I was ten."

"Here you go," you say as you remove your sword from yout belt and hand it to Karel.
"H- huh!?" Karel stammers.
"You let me see your sword, so fair is fair."
"Um... wow, thank you," he says as he picks up your sword. "Huh, this is pretty heavy compared to mine..."

Karel tests out the weight of your sword for a bit before rmoving it from its scabbard.

"Prince Emilio was telling me that you used a finesse-based style as well?" Karel says as he looks at your sword.
"Not as fast as one that would work with a rapier, but I guess it's a mix? A bit of finesse, a bit of power..."
"Hm, that's interesting. Sounds kind of like the Eschenwald style."
"Maybe?" you shrug. "I'm not all that sure about style names or anything, I just kind of took the basics I learned from someone I knew a long time ago and expanded it from there..."

"Oh, so you didn't learn formally?" Karel asks, surprised.
"Not really... well, a guy I know back in Granache is helping me polish my skills now but I never really had any formal training before that," you reply. "So you know a lot about swordfighting styles? Like that 'Eschenwald' thing?"
"Yeah, Marconetti's full of people who know different types," he says, a nostalgic look on his face. "My mother had me training with the sword in some way for as long as I can remember, she said that it would be our ticket out of the lower classes."

"Heh, I can understand that," you say. "Worked that way for me, anyways."
"Yeah... I've trained under masters of all kinds of different style, though something like the Eschenwald family's power-based style was never really suited for me, though I'm sure you'd fare pretty well with it. And its two-sword variant that Volker Eschenwald used back before I was born is as far as-"
"Volker?" you cut him off. "Two swords, black hair?"
"Yes, did you know him? Volker Eschenwald, nicknamed the 'Swordbreaker' for the number of swords that he destroyed in his fights, both his enemies' and his own?"

"Oh shit..." you say, a sad smile forming on your face. "That's right, he -did- say that he was from Marconetti, didn't he..."
"What, you knew Volker?" Nicolette asks, apparently having been listening in on your conversation. "He was one of my Dad's friends, but I heard he died a while back..."
"Yeah," you sigh. "Nine years ago. He's the one who taught me the basics, and that right there was his sword..."
"Wha-" Karel gasps.

He then scrambles to place your sword back in its scabbard and then returns it to you, bowing as deeply as he can manage.

"I- I'm so sorry, if I'd known that it was so important I'd have never-" Karel stammers.
"No, don't worry about it," you say as you place the sword back on your belt. "It was a long time ago."

"Wait, you seriously knew him!?" Nicolette asks, placing a hand on your shoulder. "Why the hell didn't you mention something like that sooner?"
"I don't really have too many fond memories of back then," you reply in a sad tone. "But yeah, he was one of maybe three people who actually gave a damn about me when I was little."

"Oh... oh wow..." Nicolette says, placing a hand to her forehead and sighing deeply. "...sorry, I didn't mean to- but I should've fucking noticed it before, you two have a lot of the same moves..."
"Seriously, it's not that big a deal," you reply. "I just owe him a lot, that's all."

"Oh my..." Luciana says, sighing. "I'd hoped for a fun time where I could joke with Marianne about two cute boys comparing swords with each other, but I suppose I ended up ruining the mood..."

She then walks up to you and pulls you into a hug before you can react.

"Aah-" Sylvie stifles a yell, but Melanie pulls her back.
"Consider this my apology, I hope a princess hug will make up for it," she says, holding you tight for a few seconds before finally letting go.

You look around the room... Karel's mouth is agape in shock, and Sylvie is trying her best to cover her blushing face. The others are simply looking at you with a suilty expression.

"Okay, then!" Luciana says, clapping her hands together. "Time for a mood change! Mr. Reinhold, what would you like to do?"

I have my doubts that Reinhold has such a basic heritage. Apparently, we should have been a Water mage because of the area but instead we have Metal. This means we were either born in the Metal area, or one of Reinhold's parents had powerful enough magic to override the Water and let us inherit their element.

>"So normal non-magicusing people are born with the affinity of whatever element the land they were born in has, but strong magicusers have a larger presence so their kids tend to be the same type as they are. It usually skews on the side of the mother since she's the one who's carrying the baby, but that's basically how that works."

Ergo, our mother most likely was at least a decent mage to override the natural water affinity of Granache.

He's making an assumption that isn't necessarily the only possible interpretation (it could be that different types of land are elementally aspected as in MtG, rather than by areas) but his conclusion is far from invalid, and it seems more likely to me as well.
>>
>>28280381
No.

Yes, it's much more likely that he's extra ultra magical/special, instead of his parents just being vagrants/tramps/whores that blew in and blew out of town.

"Uh..." you try and think of something to do. "Maybe we could get a tour of the castle?"
"A tour? "Luciana crosses her arms and looks at the ceiling. "Hmm... we do have Karel here but he's not -my- bodyguard, and I don't feel like being stuck with Takamaru right now so we can't really poke around the entire castle..."
"Why would you need to get Mr. Takamaru?" Melanie asks.

"I'm not like Marianne in that I always to have my bodyguard around, but we have a lot of guests in the castle now and Father would probably freak out if I was wandering around the more open areas without my own bodyguard," Luciana says, shrugging.
"Huh," Nicolette says. "I was wondering about that..."
"I suppose I could show you around the royal family's areas and some of the other parts... Father's probably still in the throne room though, so I guess we'll have to avoid there for now."

"Nicolette could be your bodyguard while you show us around."
>>
>>28280497
I think Marianne would actually like to go out on an adventure. Maybe not to pick fights with dragons and such, but see the sights.

It's very obvious that, despite her being a great Queen one day, castle life doesn't agree with her. She gets along with the shopkeepers in town better than almost anyone in the castle and she hates all this formality shit. She probably should get out for a while while she still can.
>>
>>28280536
>[2/2]

"I suppose that's what we'll be doing then," Marianne turns to Luciana. "Though you certainly seem to be fond of a certain someone, Luciana... I doubt your father would approve," she says with a smirk.
"Oh, Mr. Reinhold?" Luciana replies, pointing to you with her thumb. "Hmm... I guess I am?" she shrugs. "He's handome and funny and manly enough... I would be rather pleased if Father was to decide to marry me off to him, though I very much doubt that it would ever happen," she says, winking at you. "Unfortunately."

Not having expected that response AT ALL, Marianne stares at her friend wide-eyed. Looking over at the others, Sylvie looks woozy due to the amount of blood that rushed to her face so suddenly, and Melanie is doing her best to keep her standing upright... Nicolette is laughing nervously, and Karel has the same shocked expression that he had when Luciana hugged you.

"And if we've had enough discussion of the affections held within my maiden's heart, how about we get going?" Luciana says as she walks towards the door. "Or did you want to talk about something before we head out?"

She's not that high on the line of the succession. Even if we married her, we'd have to do a lot of killing to actually inherit.

Too easy, then.

Stories need conflict to keep going. Since the quest revolves around taking care of a princess she has to be kind of hard to take care of for things to stay interesting.

Basically this: >>28280781

Obviously we must try and ship her with Karel.

...well.

Luciana just confessed that she likes you.

And it's not like the crush that Sylvie probably has on you but always denies when brought up, she flat-out stated...

...wait, so THAT'S what that hug was for?

Hahahahaha, it's time to push that in the back of your head seeing as how you would rather not get murdered by King Celestino for ruining his arranged marriage plans. No, it's time to think of something else.

It's time to think about...

...swords.

"Hey, Karel..." you say, turning to him. "Would you be up for some sparring later tonight?"
"Eh!?" Karel stammers. "Y- you'd like to... with me... I mean, I'm honored that you'd even want to... but, um- sorry, I'm busy tonight," he says, smiling apologetically.
"Ah," you shrug. "No problem, then. Maybe some other time."

"Aww, and here I was thinking that I'd get to be treated to the two of you going at it..." Luciana giggles. "Oh well, I guess I'll have to infringe on the two of you another time," she says as she opens the door. "Does anyone have anywhere that they wanted to see first?"

New goal: Become a knight so Celestino is on board with Reinhold marrying best girl.

It works perfectly, when you think about it.
>>
>>28281106
No, we need one ASAP for tournament purposes. At some point we're going to get intp a fight and we don't want to be risking the sword we've had since we were eight on something mundane.

Plus, we need time to get used to it. Maybe we could see about having a new one made in a similar style?
>>
>>28281057
Celestino doesn't seem like the sort to expect any kind of impropriety.

Knights are low nobles, doubt that would be enough reason for a king like Celestino to marry off his daughter unless he was in SEVERE need of knights
>>
>>28281122
Nah. If we become Knight I'd rather marry Marianne. Reinhold is a good match for her and Celistino is only interested in marrying for foreign alliances and Granache is already an ally.
>>
>>28281105
Until she sneaks into our sleeping quarters and attempts to force herself on us, I think that parallel is a pretty big stretch.
>>
>>28281161
Not if we cause an international incident by knocking up Luciana.

Oh, wait.
>>
>>28281140
We're not a cheap knockoff of our first teacher. We don't need to break our swords just because he did.

>>28281156
She's a low-ranked royal, so if she really wanted to, and we had some really prestigious achievements, he might be down.
>>
>>28281140
The fact that we still have this sword implies we fight sufficiently differently.

But you misunderstand. The point isn't that we're not willing to risk the sword. We're just not willing to risk the sword until we can source an alternative that we're comfortable with.

It would be a problem with physical intimacy, which may or may not have been proven to be true with that incident with Marriane.

Sorry anon but being a Knight probably isn't going to be enough to convince the King, he provably wants some one higher on the nobility to help with making an alliance

>>28281180
Didn't you love a certain toy? Perhaps you loved your teddy bear, played with it every night.

>>28281174

Not when hes trying to establish more concrete ties with other nations. He wants a royal to royal marriage for alliances.
>>
>>28281161
He doesn't want Granache as an ally, he wants his heir on it's throne so Granache and Marconetti can be one kingdom again.

We aren't some poor adventurer, if we need a new sword all we need to do is ask. We already have our dagger for a backup weapon.

The problem with this breaking isn't that we'd be without a sword, it's that this one has sentimental value.

Volker's sword seems to be somewhat unusual. We could commission a replica. Then, we could move into modified versions that suit us even better.

>>28281194
That's a fucked up way of putting it.
>>
>>28281193
He already has enough alliance with Granache.

The only thing he wants from Granache is to combine the royal lines and unite the two countries. Hence this whole thing with Emilio. I'm not sure why he's doing this, since everyone else thinks it's way too over-ambitious of an idea and that's kind of the whole reason why the two countries are separate in the first place, but whatever.

Since Lucianna got turned down by Thierri, he'll be marrying her to a different country to secure alliances. A marriage to a Granachian isn't an option if it isn't royalty.
>>
>>28281236
Maybe what makes it special is that it doesn't break even when volked.
>>
>>28281245
>everyone else thinks it's way too over-ambitious of an idea and that's kind of the whole reason why the two countries are separate in the first place
They split hundreds of years ago. I imagine the infrastructure has improved.
>>
>>28281244
I'm a shrink. It's how these people think.
>>
>>28281225
So? I bet Swordbreaker broke swords with sentimental value all the time. Reinhold already did it to Monique, even. It's rude to do to others what you aren't willing to do to yourself.
>>
>>28281225
A sword you don't use is worthless.
We don't need an extra sword that we use, and only use our special childhood sword for GREAT FOOOOEEEES.
>>
>>28281264
Monique Shmonique, Reinhold was able to get one up on Arnaud.
>>
>>28281264
I suspect that if your fighting style revolves around breaking swords, you learn not to attribute sentimental value to your weapons, even the really nice ones.
>>
>>28281258
It split because they didn't think they'd be able to hold that much of land without an Old King backing the whole union up. Something that is apparently still a problem since King Thierri doesn't really like what Celistino is trying to do.
>>
>>28281264
We don't have to do everything Volker may have done.
>It's rude to do to others what you aren't willing to do to yourself.
This is a good point, though.
>>
>>28281269
more like -39 against Arnauld, but that's still pretty good.
>>
>>28281276
This only works if you're not a masochist.
>>
Honestly, if Reinhold was ambitious he'd probably try to set Marianne and Emilio up, ingratiate himself to both of them, put his own kids in a good position to potentially marry into the royalty of the then combined kingdoms, and probably get landed for his trouble.
>>
>>28281276
>We don't have to do everything Volker may have done.
One of his last wishes was for Reinhold to inherit his family swordstyle. We damn well do have to do everything in our power to achieve this.
>>
The god be damned sword is mastercraft. IIRC Volker commissioned a special made sword that he would have a hard time breaking. Adding two and two together, I'm pretty sure Vincent is the only one that would really be at risk of breaking our sword.
>>
>>28281320
Reinhold has taken the style and made it his own, though.
>>
>>28281320
The dead keep their damned opinions to themselves.
>>
>>28281280
But we were able to get a hit on him.
>>
>>28281319
I don't see why he'd need to set Marianne up with Emilio for any of that.

He's on good terms and really friendly with like two different royal lines and a few really influental nobles.

If he keeps doing what he's doing he'll be set for life regardless. He's kind of already been given all the opportunities he needs, he doesn't need to make anymore.
>>
>>28281320

for 40 against Reinhold.

So, -39. Which is still pretty good considering the opponent.
>>
>>28281340
Celestino and Thierri want to reunite Granache and Marconetti as a single kingdom.

That's why the Mariannexany of Celestino's sons match is so important.

"Maybe the libraries or something?" you suggest.
"That sounds good," Sylvie says.
"We're don't have a ton of libraries in the castle like you do, there's only the one... but if that's where you want to go, then there we shall go!" Luciana says happily.

"Oh, but um- is it okay for us to monopolize Mr. Karel's time like this?" Melanie asks.
"Oh yeah, that is kind of an issue... Mr. Karel?" Luciana replies, turning to him.
"Eh? Umm, the Prince gave me my leave for the rest of the day, but did you really want me to come along with the rest of you? I'm kind of the odd man out here..." Karel says, laughing nervously.

Umm, no. He's being pretty aggressive about expanding things and uniting countries even though it was said that the alliance between Granache and Marconetti was something he'd be okay with.

Dude's just ambitious. Thierri even said he was worried about him overreaching.

>>28281623
it has time. It just doesn't scale linearly with non-moon timezones.

A moon minute is almost always longer than a "real" minute, sometimes by as much as a week.

a real week can pass in the time it takes 60 seconds to pass in Moon Time.

It's not a fixed rate. But it IS almost always longer in real time than moon time.

"I don't see why you can't come along," you say to Karel.
"Yes, you seem to be agreeable enough," Marianne joins in.
"Umm... if you say so," Karel replies weakly.

With that out of the way, Luciana finally goes about showing you around the castle. As the first stop is the library, she ignores everything else and leads you straight there, going through a few hallways and down a flight of stairs.

"Aaaaand here we are," Luciana says, gesturing in a grandiose manner as she opens the library's large double doors.

As you enter, you're struck by just how LARGE this library is. You're pretty sure that there aren't as many books around here as there are back home, but this single area here actually has two floors, all filled with nothing but BOOKS.

"...wow..." you say as you take the sights in.
"It is pretty impressive, huh!" Luciana says, placing a hand on your shoulder. "I have to admit that our selection's nothing compared to Granache's though, and we don't have an awesome scary librarian butler guy..."

Oh yeah, how is Gerhard doing?

"...but it certainly -looks- impressive," Luciana says proudly. "Kind of fits the overall theme of a lot of our nobles too, appearance over content..."
"Ehehe, I can't exactly argue with you there," Karel replies, laughing.
"Ah, so you've gotten acquainted with Marconetti's nobility already?" Marianne asks.
"Yes, there were a lot of them after the tournament hassling my mother about setting up an arranged marriage with one of their daughters," he says, sighing. "They were all so... slimy."

"I suggest you get used to it, because they're not going to stop," Nicolette says, sighing. "They bug my father about marrying me off every time I show up here..."
"You -are- quite the fetching lass, Nicolette..." Luciana says, winking.
"Dammit, Luciana," she mumbles.

"Anyways, that's about it for here. You all have the full run of the castle while you're here, so feel free to stop by whenever you might want to," Luciana says. "Any questions before we head to he next stop?"

It's a perfectly valid retort for him to give since it is, in fact, a stupid suggestion.
>>
>>28281886
Yeah, and he's probably a little uncomfortable around so much royalty.
>>
>>28281890
Look. It's not cool to joke about someone's crush like that, especially when the crush is you. It's mean, it builds up false hope, and it's rude. We already did that shit with Sylvie and she ended up taking one of his joke's seriously when he didn't mean for her too.

It's an incredibly jerkish and stupid thing to do.

Wait, what joke?

The fuck has Reinhold done to deserve that? Karel should be on equal footing as tournament winners.
>>
>>28281928

Yes, man, that was a joke.
>>
>>28281913
Theyre people first, royalty second. Unless we're required to go Full Propriety.

I can see Kaerel being gobsmacked when we do.
>>
>>28281932

The fact that Karel is new to the job and hasn't hung out with royalty anywhere as much as we have?
>>
>>28281932
Yeah, but we were the direct student of someone he respects a lot, and also he's surrounded by royalty which is even newer for him than for us.
>>
>>28281950
So we're helping him get used to it? Okay.
>>
>>28281932
What's Reinhold done to what to deserve what?

I meant Karel's fucking nervous about being with two princesses, a Reinhold, and the spawn of Gregory and Vincent.

I'd be shitting my pants.
>>
>>28281932
Marconetti obviously stands on ceremony more than Granache does.
>>
>>28281935
I literally don't know what exchange you're referring to.

>>28281955
And we haven't even mentioned that we're learning from someone (more?) famous right now.

Right after visiting Nico's family.

>"So..." you begin, "...when do I get to meet -your- mother?"

>You were definitely expecting Sylvie to freak out, but she's actually taking your joke seriously?

How is that a at all a bad thing or sexual in context?

Ah side-note, this is obvious in retrospect, but we seem to have a sword of sword-breaking. Maybe. If it's not just the style.

Because meeting the parents is one of the traditional steps on the path to asking for permission to take away the daughter.
>>
>>28282009
It's in its blood. As Volker's last act of kindness to Reinhold he pricked his finger and let out a single drop of his blood into the sword before it was finished forging.

now, forever, it carries with it a legacy of Volker.

Luciana looks around to see if anyone has a question to ask, but nobody speaks up. Taking that as a signal to move on to the next stop, she motions for the rest of you to follow as she finally takes her hand off your shoulder and leads everyone out of the library and into the hallway.

You follow her a short way down the halls and through another door, leading to a courtyard filled with roses.

"And this is our garden... well, at least the courtyard's garden," Luciana says. "It's getting lat in the year so most of the really pretty flowers are dead by now, but our roses like to stick around for a good while."
"Yes, they're really pretty," Sylvie says as she gets a close look at one of them.
"Mother likes to spend time in here when the castle life starts getting to her... she's a bit like Marianne that way."

"I can't exactly blame her," Marianne says, sighing. "Things in Granache are a headache, but Marconetti has an entirely different set of issues that I don't think I could deal with."
"Yeah, it makes me glad that I'm in no real danger of being anywhere near a position of real authority," Luciana replies.
"Um, I think you'd do pretty well in one though, Princess," Karel says. "All the guards seem to respect you a lot, at least. And Prince Emilio's had nothing but good things to say about your intelligence..."

"Oh, you flatterer!" Luciana laughs, playfully tapping Karel on the arm. "But while I may be good at such things, I have absolutely zero desire to have anything to do with them."

She then turns around and heads for the door.

"Onwards to our next stop!" she says, smiling.

If you're the same guy as >>28281990, I'm sorry, I've been trying not to flame, but you're a fucking idiot. Or you just don't into jokes at all.

The context is someone taking a joke literally. We joked to sylvie about meeting her mom, like "haha, let's get married, haha" and she thought we actually wanted to meet her mom.

If you aren't that guy, I retract this post.

>>28282110
she's a mage. Bear punching isn't usually in the job description and We have a running joke about Sylvie getting Cake everytime she punches someone.

Cake is for punching someone.

>>
>>28282147
This is why I don't like Sylvie fans.
>>
>>28282147
It's not a running joke. It was just a joke we made because of a story she told. Not some kind of habit we formed.

We bought her the cake because punching Niklaus was a big deal and huge accomplishment. This was easy sauce and just her doing what needed to be done.

This is 4chan, you blithering imbecile.

And she took the joke literally, but it wasn't leading her on or shit like that, because we were talking about it in the context of friendship, having already met Nicolette's mom. If she took it as a sex thing she'd have been blushing a lot.

Luciana then leads you all to the kitchen, though sadly there isn't any food available for you to eat when you arrive. After arranging for dinner to be brought up to your rooms later, she then shows you around the servants' quarters. Sadly, there isn't much do do there either, as the most of the castle's maids and butlers are busy preparing for the large amounts of guests that will be flowing through th castle during the next few days.

With most of the areas that Luciana's able to wander around without Takamaru take care of, she then leads you to back to the wing of the castle that your rooms are located in.

"And here we are, the royal quarters," Luciana says. "All of my older siblings have been married off so none of them actually live here anymore aside from my eldest brother."
"Great, so we don't have to worry about running into Giancarlo for at least a little while," Nicolette says, sighing.
"Ehe... I'm sorry to say that he'll be showing up the day after tomorrow," she says with a guilty laugh. "Anyways, your rooms are over there on the south side, and ours are on the north... there's my parents', mine and my youngest siblings', and then our bodyguards' rooms."

As she shows you around, you notice a familiar rabbit hopping along the floor...

Using the wealth of experience you gained from... already having done this once earlier today, you quickly reach down and pick up the bunny by the scruff of its neck.

"...Inaba?" Karel says, looking at you and the bunny with a confused expression.
"Ugh, I wish she's just put a harness on that thing already..." Luciana sighs.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" a voice calls out from the distance.
"...and of course, here she comes..." Luciana mumbles.

"NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" the voice grows closer.
"She certainly is full of energy," Sylvie laughs.

"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Elena shouts as she runs towards you at full speed, stumbling a bit when she notices that you're holding her pet rabbit. But instead of falling on her face, she uses the forward momentum to do a front flip, landing masterfully at your feet.
"Wow, nice moves," Nicolette says, genuinely impressed.

"Mr. Swordie, you caught Inaba for me again!" Elena says, beaming.
"Uh, here you go," you reply as you hand her the rabbit.
"Elena you really should be more careful if you expect to actually keep a pet," Luciana says, sighing.
"But it wasn't my fault this time!" Elena says in protest. "I was talking to a flute guy and a swordie with pretty hair but then one of the butlers dropped his suitcase and it startled Inaba and she ran aaaaaaaaaaaaall the way here."

"Whatever, just be more careful in the future..." Luciana says to her sister.
"Yes, it's dangerous to run around in the halls like that, even with your moves," Karel says, scolding her in a brotherly tone.
"I know..." Elena mumbles. "Umm, what are you guys doing out here? Playing?"
"Your sister was giving Princess Marianne and her friends here a tour of the castle, and I'm just kind of tagging along for now,' he replies.

"Ooh, a tour?" Elena says, her eyes sparkling. "you wanna see m room? It's really cool!"

So between Nico's brothers, the Wilhelm's baby, and Elena, I'd say Reinhold is pretty amazing with kids.
>>
>>28282622
Why? They are not that bad. I would actually be more worried if she stopped for a chat with someone like Niklaus.
>>
>>28282626
Th... That's not a complaint...

It's a rhetorical question speculating about the volume of princesses we attract.

Amount of irrational obsessive hatred towards Monique in these threads might be inspiring to a psychoanalyst.
>>
>>28282659
Yeah, he's patient and tolerant as fuck on top of being super nice. If we did take the princess route, I'd see him making a damn good king/prince consort. He's definitely got the attitude to handle it and plenty of opportunity to get good at something like that.

Not really, but this is vn quest so there can be all sorts of great kings with ridiculous personalities so i guess you'd be right.
>>
>>28282675
So I guessed you missed the part where he tried to greet him nicely and introduce him in a non-jerkish way. He punched the guy but I don't think he's out to hold a grudge.
>>
>>28282675
Irrational? Maybe. Obsessive? Probably.
Though I'd first use those to describe my dedication to making a stupid joke.
>>
>>28282675

It's a regular thing with /tg/, get used to it.

If you really want to see their irrational butthurt at its finest though, you should see Lafayette Girls' Academy Quest, it's frankly hilarious how personal they decided to make it against a duo of corrupt cops despite them not really doing that much damage.
>>
>>28282682
"Oh my, this is my first time going into a princess' room. How exciting!"
>>
>>28282692
Then Marianne interrupted us! That bitch!
>>
>>28282702
I think she assumed we'd say something stupid or jerkish.
>>
>>28282710
To be honest, anything we would have said would probably have come off as antagonistic to Monique regardless of intentions, considering how he reacted to the nod.

She was just preventing an incident,
>>
>>28282694
Oink oink, piggies!

But by god, some of those anons just can't let it go. It'd be funny if they weren't hating high school girls.
>>
>>28282710
That would make sense if she didn't antagonize him as well.
>>
>>28282738
She's well mannered, though.
>>
>>28282738
She wasn't being antagonistic, it was basically the exact intro we were going for. Besides, he won't speak up to her because he's too busy trying to kiss her ass. If we were the guy saying we beat him in the tournament he would have gotten pissed at us like he already was just for us nodding at him.
>>
>>28282710
we cracked him in the face the last time he antagonized someone else. It's a fair assumption
>>
>>28282736
I'd think it's funnier BECAUSE they are hating on high school girls
>>
>>28282736
I think it actually makes sense because they're playing a HS girl hating on HS girls.
>>
>>28282778
I never went to high school. Do girls really shit on each other that hard in high school?

we're not at home though. I'd say the situation might call for a willpower check.

"Uh, I don't know if that's really appropriate..." Karel says, laughing nervously.
"Well, it -is- a tour, Marianne replies.
"I don't see why not... Princess Luciana?" you say, turning to her.
"Yeah, whatever," Luciana sighs. "Let's go check out Elena's baby room..."

Elena happily hugs her pet bunny as she takes the lead, the rest of you following her down the hallway. She walks a short distance before stopping in front of a door, opening it with her free hand.

"Umm, here we are!" she says, smiling a wide grin. "Come on in and check it out!"

She leads you all into her room, stopping for a bit to place Inaba in a small enclosure before turning around to face all of you.

"These are my stuffed bunnies and kitties..." Elena says as she points to a shelf that's covered in stuffed animals. "And these are the picture books that Uncle Gregory got me about swordies when I was little..." she points to a few books that are scattered across her desk.

"And this closet is where I keep my dresses, and this box is where I put the jewelry that Mama makes me wear sometimes..." Elena says less enthusiastically before moving towards a window. "And this is the view from my room! Isn't it nice?"
"It certainly is," Melanie says, smiling happily.

"And over here..." Elena says, approaching her bed, "...is m- oh crap," she mutters, as the rest of you notice the practice sword that's lying on her bed in plain sight.
"Ehehehehehe...... whatever is a proper girl like you doing with someting like that?" Luciana laughs evilly.

"Oh ho," you say as you turn from the practice sword to the frightened Elena. "Fair Princess Elena, I see that you happen to possess a practice sword, the likes of which are meant for sparring..." you say in a grandiose fashion as you stroke an imaginary beard.
"...what are you doing?" Marianne asks, looking at you as if you've completely lost your mind.

"...I myself have used a sword much like the one you have there in many a sparring session against my good friend Nicolette," you say, gesturing towards here with a flourish.
"Haha, he's doing this shit again," Nicolette laughs.

"P- Princess, do you know what's going on here?" Melanie asks Marianne, completely baffled by your sudden change in demeanor.
"I have no idea whatsoever," Marianne replies as she places a hand on her face and sighs in embarassment.

"...perchance you would care to bestow upon my humble person the honor of facing me in a duel?" you ask, doing your best impression of Monique.
"M- Mr. Reinhold!?" Karel stares at you in horror.

Unsure how exactly to take this, Elena frantically looks around the room at everyone before finally focusing her gaze on Luciana, who is smiling in a most wicked fashion.

"U- umm... I'd really like to but Papa says that girls shouldn't play with swords so I really shouldn't even have this practice one and please please please please don't tell him Luciana!" Elena stammers, tears starting to well in her eyes.
"Oh, I don't know..." Luciana replies, laughing evilly. "...Father was -quite- clear in his not wanting you to play at learning how to use a sword, and here you are with one in your room in plain sight..."
"PLEASE don't tell on me, Luciana! I'll give you all my cookies!" she pleads.

As Luciana fully enjoys the anxiety that's starting to set in her little sister, Marianne walks up to Elena and kneels down to eye level.

"Don't worry, none of us saw ANYTHING here," she says as she pats Elena on the head while shooting Luciana a cutting glance. "After all, Luciana herself has a rather large amount of gri-"
"Marianne!" Luciana shouts, cutting her off.
"ANYWAYS," Marianne continues, "your secret is safe with us. Just be more careful about hiding that thing we didn't see in the future," she says as she stands back up.

"After all, we -all- have things that we'd rather not have everyone find out about, isn't that right?" Marianne says as she smiles coldly at her best friend.
"Y- yeah, don't leave your stuff out in the open if you don't want people finding out," Luciana grumbles. "Come on, our food's probably ready by now..."

Sighing, Luciana heads for the door.

"You really are no fun sometimes, you know that?" she mumbles to Marianne.
"There are limits to how much you should tease people," Marianne replies coldly. "Especially when you're in even deeper than the person you're trying to blackmail."

While the others head out, you turn to Elena.

"Uh... do you want to come with us?" you ask. "I guess it's not really my place to ask, but I'm pretty sure that nobody else will mind..."
"N- no, that's alright..." Elena replies as she wipes the tears out of her eyes. "...I'm not hungry."
"Oh, alright then. Take care, Princess Elena."
"Thanks, Mr. Swordie."

As you follow Luciana out of the room, Nicolette walks up to Elena and tussles her hair.

"Cheer up," Nicolette says, smiling. "You just gotta be more careful in the future, you know?"
"Y- yeah, I guess..." Elena replies glomily.
"Rule number one of keeping secrets is making sure that other people can't discover them so easily."

With that, Nicolette joins the rest of you in the hallway.

"Food time?" Nicolette asks.
"Yes, I haven't forgotten your appetite..." Luciana replies, still a bit annoyed that Marianne ruined her fun. "I told the cooking staff that we'd be in Marianne and Reinhold's suite, so lets head there before we end up causing them to wait for us."
"Of course you expect everyone to be eating in our suite..." Marianne sighs.
"Just think of it as payback," Luciana says, sticking out her tongue.

Your merry little band then makes its way to your suite, with everyone making themselves nice and comfortable in the various chairs and sofas that decorate its living room portion.

"I asked for spaghetti, so it shouldn't tke them too long..." Luciana says. "So, does anyone have any ideas as to what we should do while we wait?"
