Seeing as how Marianne seems to be alright and Milien's nowhere to be seen, it's time to get back to what you were doing prior to that little incident. With a tired sigh, you pull your sleeve back over your bracelet and turn to the girls.

"...so we're NOT going to go and confront him unless he tries something, RIGHT?" Sylvie says, glaring at you and Nicolette.
"Yeah, whatever..." Nicolette mumbles. "It looks like Marianne's okay, so I guess I'll let it go for now."
"Don't worry, I know better than to cause an incident here," you say to her.

"Guess I'll go back to where my old man's sitting," Nioolette says. "I've noticed some guys checking me out, but nobody's managed to muster up the courage to actually hit on me while I'm around him... and I'm REALLY not in the mood for that shit right now."
"Umm... would you mind if I joined you?" Melanie asks.
"Yeah, why not."

"And what about you, Reinhold?" Sylvie asks. "Maybe you should go and see if your grandmother's here yet? Seeing her would probably cheer you up a little."
"I actually ran into her right after the guests were let in," you reply. "She said that she was going to find something to eat, so I was going to go and find Citrine in the meantime," you reply.
"Oh, so she can see your grandmother too? That's really thoughtful!" Sylvie says, trying to force herself to act cheerful for your sake.

Seriously, letting them meet grandma is fine but we should really be inviting them after she's had some time with Citrine and Marius first.

No problem I literally have nothing better to do around this time of night then wait for arch to start posting so I decided why not.

>>28954344

>>28954562
It's also dumb since we should be going alone, so Agnes has time with her family and get to know her son-in-law before we introduce her to a bunch of other people.

This isn't a friendship or waifu thing, it's a family thing.

>>28953748
>go it alone
This is meant to be a family moment
Leave it as such

Stop the waifu/harem bullshit

"You three can come along if you want," you say.
"Umm, I'd love to!" Sylvie says, smiling at you. "But I don't know if Nicolette and Melanie would rather sit down instead..."
"Nah, it'd be a decent change of pace," Nicolette says. "What about you, Melanie?"
"I'm fine with whatever the rest of you are doing," Melanie replies. "As long as I'm not stuck in this crowd of people by myself," she says, laughing nervously.
"That's set, then..." Nicolette says, shrugging. "Lead the way, Reinhold."

As you give the hall a once-over, you notice that the crowd density's gone down quite a bit in the past few minutes. While there are still PLENTY of nobles around, they're more evenly dispersed between the various areas of the hall.

>[1/2]

Why are people still voting and complaining when arch already cut off the votes?

I must be the only guy who thinks that milien has actually reformed and honestly think we should be weary of dueling him. He held our old job so his swording skill should be on par but something tells me that he fights dirty, something Reinold might not expect.

Losing right now would be the worst.

>>28953748
>go it alone

>>28954636
Because the vote was bad.

>>28954643
It's been less than 2 months. He was actively trying to provoke us when we brought it up to.

Also, Archelon outright said he was an asshole.

>>28954633

Honestly, I was thinking it's more about excitement than anything.

Reinhold has family! And Friends!

He spent years basically alone among soldiers, and when he was with Citrine they never exactly had a huge amount of free time to just hang, or the resources to really DO anything.

So now that he has basically everything he could ever want, he wants to do as much of it at once as possible.

>>28954643
i agree with not dueling him but i don't think he reformed. our friends have told us he's good at being two faced, so him putting on an act is to be expected

>>28954643
We're not going to confront him unless he pulls shit.

Also, what the hell makes you think he's reformed? He was a taunting ass.

>>28954667
>Implying people weren't using the "give X and Y time to themselves by taking Z" argument to further their Sylviefag ways

I don't actually believe this.

>>28954643
Dueling is only a thing people get to do, and our predecessor is not a person.

>>28954701
It seemed like more people just wanted it to be a family thing.

>>28954643

His swordsman ship skill is on par at least. His magic skill may be better.

In a dueling situation it may be anyone's game. He may fight dirty, but we're a brothel raised guttersnipe, WE can probably fight dirtier if he wants to play that game.

Though I agree we shouldn't duel him. We should keep tabs and try to block anything he tries, should he try anything. If he pulls something underhanded, it won't be in a duel where he has nothing to lose, it'll be in real life where he has something to gain.

Well, this has been a questionable start.

I'd go fuck off to do something else and just read the archive later like I usually do, but I don't have anything else to do...

>>28954717
Ya, but most of them only spoke up 20 minutes after Arch cut it off.

>>28954732
Why would his swordsmanship skill be on par with ours? He wasn't picked by beating everyone else in the kingdom like we were.

>>28954749
They probably came in late. I know I did.

This is a bit earlier than arch usually starts.

>>28954643
>Being this naive

Once a liar, always a liar.

>>28954749
It was the first vote of the quest and was closed in 10 mins.

This thread is early and I was expecting Arch to be gone a bit longer on account of him going out and doing things before this started.

>>28954768
Not much we can do about that, he has to cut off and start writing at some point.

>>28954752
being the princess body guard means that you are one of the best hell look at king the loli or lucianas body guard.

>>28954732
we got a hit on fuckin' arnaud and we're ostensibly the best swordsman in the country

>>28954643
It wouldn't be helpful to be overly confrontational in general, and as someone who's been in his situation I can sympathize, but that doesn't mean we should get all buddy-buddy with him.

>>28954821
only because of a crit

>>28954752

He held the same position and trained with the royal guard. He wasn't a slouch if nothing else. The kind of training you can get in the castle is nothing to balk at.

Though we should probably ask the princess how we rate against him if we have an opprotunity. Or more wisely, Sir Gregory, since he won't get wound up at his name being mentioned.

>>28954752
>He wasn't picked by beating everyone else in the kingdom like we were.
IIRC he was a royal guardsman before being kicked up the chain to bodyguard duty, so he's likely at least above average.

>>28954837
Didn't Nico beat him though?

>people still jabbering about fighting this asshole
How about no
Stiffarm him if he tries to go anywhere near Marianne, but that's it
This is a job we can, and should, do without pulling out swords

>>28954732
Nico beat him up, and we could beat Nico.

>>28954846
>IIRC he was a royal guardsman
I thought he had Nicolette's current job.

>>28954837
if anything ask nico, since she knows everything already and is right here and has fought with us

>>28954821

Yeah, and he wasn't IN the country at the time, obviously.

He left. Then in under six months he'd managed to earn his way into nobility and land himself a wife that's cute and reasonably intelligent(or at least isn't stupid).

Think on that. He just showed up, did his thing, and managed to either fight or weasel his way into a position of power with damn near unprecedented speed.

I'm not saying he's better than Reinhold, but he's not one to underestimate.

>>28954851
he was unarmed and was mostly surprised.(plus i doubt he would seriously attack nico.)

>>28954851
I doubt he would do anything to endanger his life any further than what he did then.

>>28954909
...She seemed pretty dumb to me.

>>28954634
>[2/2]

That's good news for you, since it makes it easier to move around... and to see that Citrine and Marius are just across the room!

Motioning for the girls to follow you, you press on through the crowd. Luckily, you don't run into any pushy assholes this time around and are able to get across the hall without incident.

Aaaaaand there they are!

Full of smiles, Citrine and Marius appear to be chatting it up with a fancily-dressed young man with forest-green hair. Standing next to him is a tall girl with a black and red dress, her long black hair adorned with a fancy horned ornament.

Looks like, yeah. It wasn't her position specifically, necessarily, since there are multiple Guard Captains, but probably around the same skill level.

>>28954965
>fancy horned ornament

>wave to them

Nico isn't related to the Royal Guard anyway, she's captain of the Palace Guard. We haven't met another member of the Royal Guard for this entire quest.

You know, I'd honestly like to see what the regular staff does. Not the royals or the personal friends, but the random maid who just polishes the silver and dusts things then goes home.

I mean really, imagine the shit they must be getting up to since they basically have two weeks off now.

>>28955255
That's entirely my fault, I apologize.

>>28955255
Go to wikipedia and type in Palace Guard.

You'll get some TV show with a redirect to Royal Guard for the actual guards.

Palace Guard is not even an official term and is basically just semantics, a palace guard is also a Royal Guard. You're the only one confused

>>28955312
You shouldn't have to apologize for one idiot who doesn't have reading comprehension.

>>28955364
I used the two terms pretty interchangeably in the first few threads, and it causes my OCD to flare up when I remember it.

>>28955412
It's just semantics. If you're guarding the palace you're guarding the royalty within. Being a palace guard and being a royal guard are the same thing.

>>28955412
The phrase "Palace Guard" has never been used, and "Castle Guard" has come up exactly twice, and only one of those times was it capitalized. Whereas it's been referred to as the "Royal Guard" in every opening post since thread 2.

Either way, it doesn't really matter too much while the quest is in progress. The whole thing is a pretty pointless semantic side-tracking until copy editing, if and when you decide to have a style guide put together.

thread is pretty quiet today

>>28955560
Shhhhhh

>>28955445
>It's just semantics. If you're guarding the borders you're guarding the royalty within. Being a border guard and being a royal guard are the same thing.
So Monique is a Royal Guard too?

>>28955585
he's border guard

>>28955560
I don't really feel like participating in the sperging over the names of palace guard / royal guard / whatthefuckever.

>>28955585
That would have to be a pretty fucking big palace to be along all the borders.

>>28955585
He's a Border Guard. Protecting royalty isn't his direct job, it's the country and it's borders.

>>28955545
Would be nice if that epub of the quest had the available choices/chosen choices in it as well.

Would make it easier for Arch to go through it for the VN.

It's probably a good idea to play it safe this time around... though you know that Citrine would be more than happy to see you, there's always a chance that the people they're talking to are jerks.

So instead of calling out or butting into their conversation, you wave to Citrine in Marius in hopes that they'll notice that you're here.

...and of course she notices you right away. Then again, awareness of one's surroundings was kind of a necessary skill to survive back where the two of you are from.

After signaling for the people she's with to wait, Citrine runs over to you with a wide smile on her face.

"Reinhold!" Citrine chirps as she takes your hands in hers. "I was wondering where you'd gotten to!"
"Yeah... it took a while for me to actually find the two of you," you reply.
"Ooh, and you brought your friends too!" she says, waving at the girls. "Nice seeing you again!"

"Ehehe... I'm glad to see that you're in as good a mood as you were the first time we met," Sylvie replies, smiling.
"Yeah, it's always nice to run into a non-jackass here," Nicolette says.
"Umm, good afternoon!" Melanie stammers, bowing.
"Me and Marius were just talking to some interesting folks... come on, I'll introduce you!"

Citrine then pulls you along with her to where her husband and the couple that they were talking to are waiting.

"I see that Citrine caught you," Marius laughs. "I suppose I should introduce you... this fellow is my brother-in-law, Reinhold," he says, gesturing to you.
"Umm, nice to meet you," you say with a bow.
"And these are his friends," Citrine says, patting Sylvie on the back. "This is Sylvie, and the pretty one with silver hair is Nicolette, and the cute one hiding behind her is... Melanie, was it?"
"Y- yes," Melanie says, bowing. "Pleased to meet you."

"And Reinhold, this gentleman is Randolf, the Crown Prince of Krassato," Marius says.
"Nice to meet you, Reinhold," Randolf says with a slight bow.

Which is worse shipping fags or wiafu fags?

>>28955981
this sounds good
>>28956045
although i jest, i wish we could add "Dovahkiin" to our title to see their reaction.

>writing

>>28956180
waifus. hands down.

>>28956180
Both, because they're probably the same people.

>>28956180
waifu. since harem route is a no go i like the idea of the girls we don't go with winding up with someone rather than pining over not having us

>>28956180
ship since they usually don't accept the girls ending up with any other character.(look at the bleach threads), but wiafu fags are a close second.

>>28956180
Either way they're all fags.
>>28956184
>although i jest, i wish we could add "Dovahkiin" to our title to see their reaction.
That's stupid.

>>28956180
I just want all the characters to be happy

Is that so bad?

>>28956180
Both since they are basically the same with the only difference being that the player doesn't care about the on of or both characters happiness.

>>28956180
People who arbitrarily lump everyone into something-fag groups and try to start shit for no reason whenever anyone expresses an opinion about anything.

>>28956237
That namefag is always stupid as hell. Filter him.

Seriously, I have legitimately never seen him post a good suggestion, and all his dialogue is fucking awful.

>>28956243
Yes. You are a terrible person.

>>28956261
like you?

>>28956184
>although i jest, i wish we could add "Dovahkiin" to our title to see their reaction.
we're whore born, how do you say that in dragon

>>28956243
Apparently, yes, having any positive opinion or thought about the characters is bad and wrong and you should feel bad.

>>28956243
Very so, since alot of villains in anime wants everyone to be happy.

>>28956263
>Filter
Eh. I usually don't need filters to help me ignore shit here. Guess it's something I just started doing automatically after browsing as long as I have.

I appreciate the suggestion though.

>>28956280
>implying we aren't already speaking dragon

From the book excerpts, it seems that humans didn't discover language themselves, at least not in this area.

>>28956332
that was millennia ago, language evolves

You are the winner.

>>28956351
And? Dragons would speak old draconic as much as the British speak Anglo-Saxon. probably spelled wrong, or not the name of the language I have in mind, but checking would be inconvenient to posting.

>>28956263
then you have not seen enough then. i do make other good suggestions from time to time, i just don't always have my name on then. like now.

>>28956529
So you're saying you take your name off for good suggestions? Sounds more like you don't have any evidence so you're claiming anonymity so you don't have to bother providing it.

"Likewise." you say, bowing. "So you're Rana and Reya's cousin?"
"I am indeed," Mirakarias replies as she brushes the hair from her eyes.
"If you don't mind me asking, what exactly did Rana say about me?" you ask.
"Oh... she said that you were a ruffian who hit on her repeatedly and then insulted her brother..." she says, smirking at you.
"Reinhold!?" Sylvie gasps.

...wait, what?

"C'mon, Mira... your sense of humor doesn't go over well with people who aren't used to it," Randolf says, rolling his eyes.
"Haha, sorry," Mirakarias shrugs. "I was just messing with you there. Rana said that you were a handsome young man who helped her out on two separate occasions," she says, nodding.

"She also told me that you spent most of yesterday together, when you brained my cousin with a practice sword and then your girlfriend Nicolette was actually silly enough to challenge her to a eating contest," Mirakarias laughs.

>[1/?]

>>28956559

>>28956692
>>28956656
oh god... are they all D&D standard copper dragons types? the pranks will never end...

So, Arch - questions about our fighting style. If I understand right, Volker only showed us the most basic parts of the Eschenwald style before he passed, right? Is it safe to assume that our fighting style is a complete bastardization of the family style that's passed on, since we had to learn the rest of it ourselves?

I'm just wondering what the chances are that if Agnes actually sees our swordwork, that she decides to drag us off to reteach/refine us to bring us more in line with the family style? It just seems to me that as a former swordmaster, that this sort of thing would be kinda important to her, and that as good as we are, I can't help but think that we probably would still come off as "unfinished" to her.

TL;DR - what are the chances that Agnes finishes what Volkner started, with regards to our swordsmanship, if we ever get extended time off?

>>28956742
Or so they want you to think, in reality they're just hiding and waiting to pull off the biggest prank of all.
Everybody's a dragon

>>28956786

>inb4 thats exactly what she means by 'DANCE'

>>28956786
>Eschenwald style before he passed
I'm still baffled no one is trying to get our grandmother who is a famous swords man for any tips or help.

>>28956786
Moderate to high, no question about it. Several people have already seen that out as a logical and potentially quite amusing plot occurance.

>>28956559

"...girlfriend?" Sylvie whispers, turning to Nicolette.
"Dammit, I kept telling her that it wasn't like that..." Nicolette whispers back.
"Ah, I get it," Mirakarias says, smiling at you. "...you're caught in a love triangle," she laughs. "Or perhaps this would be a love quadrangle? Oh, wait... including Rana, it would be a love pentagon," she says, laughing creepily.

"But Granache isn't a country that allows polygamy, so you're going to be forced to choose one of them eventualy, you know," Mirakarias says, a wide grin on her face. "Ah, the broken hearts that you'll leave in your wake..." she laughs.
"That's enough, Mira," Randolf says as he reaches around her shoulders and pulls her close. "Please excuse my wife, she's kind of bad at picking up on cues when to stop," he sighs.

>[2/?]

>>28956559
I'm actually really disappointed in Sylvie for apparently believing that.

>>28956815
We've just met her, man. I'm baffled that you think that because people have social tact and aren't screaming teach me to sword right away that no one actually cares.

>>28956815
we've had about 3 minutes of talking to her, we'll get around to it. after all we have to talk about something as we dance right? at least unless we roll a nat 1

>>28956786
i can totally see Agnes going back with us for a while and not-date Arnaud while they both give us some master sword training

>>28956786
you know she is a social recluse and there is nothing stopping her from coming with us other than visiting her grandsons grave.
Just imagine the hell the butler and her would bring to us.i would laugh if they end up together or they were old lovers.

>>28956815

Not yet.

We barely came from meeting her and receiving a background rep check from marianne.

We can probably ask about it later but its far too soon right now.

Thank you, Randolf.

Thank you so much.

"So unless you want me to start embarrassing you..." Randolf says, pulling Mirakarias even closer.
"C... c'mon, stop it..." she mumbles, blushing. "You know that I don't like public displays of affection..."
"Oh my, I never would've expected you to be the easily embarrassed type, Mira..." Citrine giggles.

"Oh, she goes weak in the knees when I do stuff like blowing in her ear..." Randolf says, taking a deep breath.
"Okay I'm sorry now please let me go this isn't funny everyone's watching!" Mirakarias stammers.
"As long as you learned your lesson," he laughs as he releases her from his embrace.
"Um... wow," Nicolette says, staring at them.

I disagree for the following reasons:
dragons are magical beyond belief, that scale could be turned into anything she wants, which should be what I want

or
She was lying about being a dragon, and is actually a kitsune, as they are deceitful in nature and likely lie to stop others from petting their tails

Laughing nervously, you look around... Nicolette looks REALLY uncomfortable, and both Sylvie and Melanie are blushing like mad.

Time to change the subject!

"So, uh... what were you guys talking about before we interrupted you?" you ask.
"I was actually trying to convince your brother-in-law to do a portrait of my lovely wife here," Randolf replies. "But he doesn't usually do portrait work, so..."

"You don't?" you ask, turning to Marius. "Why not?"
"It does pay well and there's no shortage of people who want to commission them, but I've kind of lost interest," Marius replies, shrugging. "I dunno, they're just kind of boring compared to most other things I've painted."
"Now that we actually have money, he only paints what interests him," Citrine says with an embarrassed laugh. "Sorry about that..."

Has he ever painted a dragon as a dragon before? Because that sounds like it could be interesting.

>>28957657
They were right about Nico, so they've only been encouraged.

>>28957694
Are you familiar with the concept of "if you throw enough shit against a wall, eventually at least some of it will stick"?

because that's basically what happened through 80 threads of speculation.

>>28957705
Eh, between the previous crush on a girl and all the talk of her preferences when her crush was brought up there was some actual evidence pointing to her being at least Bi.

The evidence for Melanie is just a bunch of incredibly innocuous shit

>>28957705
Yeah, and thousands of people still think that Nostradamus predicted everything, same principle.

They aren't going to let logic stop them.

"I'm not giving up just yet," Randolf says, crossing his arms. "If I can't tempt you with money, then how about I tempt you with a rare opportunity? Mira -is- a dragon, you know... and I doubt you've had the opportunity to paint one before."
"But you want a portrait of her in her human form, right?" Marius replies. "And dragons in human form look no different from, well... humans."

"But if you could paint her dragon form..." Randolf says, pointing in the air for emphasis.
"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't just volunteer me for things like that, Randolf..." Mirakarias sighs.
"But won't you do it for -me-? I just want a portrait of you ever so much..." he says, brushing a hand against the side of her head.

"How about I just say that I'll think about it?" Marius says, an embarrassed smile on his face. "I don't want Mira to faint from all of this, er, stimulation."
"Very well," Randolf replies. "But I'm going to keep on bugging you for a definite answer until the party ends, you know."
"Of course you will," he laughs. "...so Reinhold, what brings you and your lovely friends over here?" he asks, trying to change the subject.
