My name's Bernard, and I'm nine years old. Things have been pretty boring lately since Nico and my Dad and Sylvie and the others went off to Marconetti, so my big brother Guillaume's taken to exploring the castle while they're away. And since I worry that he'll do something stupid if I'm not around to keep him in line, I've ended up getting dragged along too.

I'd rather be at home with Mom.

"Guillaume, why're we in here again?" I ask my brother as the two of us sneak into this creepy creepy place. "I'm half-afraid that something's gonna drop down from the ceiling and eat us..."
"We've explored pretty much every other part of the castle already" Guillaume whispers back. "And Niklaus's lab is sure to have some cool stuff, like maybe a way for us to get super strong!"
"C'mon, that's just dumb..."
"What, so you don't want to become a strong guy like Dad and the King so that you can impress Marianne?" he says, looking back at me with a big stupid grin on his stupid face.
"Sh- shut up about that!" I whisper-shout back.

Stupid jerk, why's he gotta tease me all the time?

"Whatever, let's go!" Guillaume says, turning away from me. "Where do you think we should check out first, though?"
"I swear, you can't do anything on your own..." I mumble.

"Umm, I guess we should stick close to these bookshelves," I say as I point to the walls that are COVERED in books. "And then we can maybe loop around to the back of the room?"
"Haha, that's it!" Guillaume says, snapping his fingers. "Of course all the good stuff's gonna be hidden!"

Just like I suggested, Guillaume ducks behind the bookshelves and sneaks through the space between the shelves. And of course, I'm stuck following him.

"Wow there's a crapload of books in here," Guillaume says as he looks around at the books that are surrounding us. "Knowing Niklaus, these're probably similar to the ones that Mom reads... you wanna take some back home?"
"No way," I shake my head. "I'm just a beginner and Mom said that messing around with this kind of thing too early's an easy way to blow up the house."
"Laaaaaame..." he says, puffing out his cheeks.
"You oughta listen to what Mom says too."

But of course he ignores me and keeps on walking through the passageway, sticking as close to the walls as he can. We make it around a corner before long, and then we keep on until the bookshelves open up into a larger area.

"Great, we didn't run into any traps either!" Guillaume says, grossing his arms as if he'd done something important. "Nice looking out, Bernard!"
"Uh- no problem..." I mumble.

You jerk, at least let me stay mad at you for dragging me out here with you.

"Looks like the stuff over here is what he's been working on recently..." Guillaume says as he tries to get a good look at the table ahead of us without actually walking out into the open. "Looks like there's a couple of books, a piece of paper, and something in a weird glass tray thing..."

He then tries to walk over to mess around with the stuff on the table, but I pull him back before he can.

"What the heck are you doing!?" I whisper-shout at him. "What if whatever's in that dish is some kind of flesh-eating monster!"
"Meh, he's not allowed to mess around with dangerous stuff after that one time Vincent beat him up," Guillaume shrugs. "So it's probably safe."
"Probably!?"
"Whatever, I'm going over there... unless you want to check it out first, my oh-so-cautious little brother?"

As Guillaume turns to me with a wide grin on his face, it's all I can do to keep from punching him as hard as I can.

"Whatever, I'll check it out first," I sigh. "Just don't touch anything until I say it's okay."
"You're so brave!" Guillaume laughs. "I'm sure that Marianne would like that about you, too..."

Ignoring what he just said, I head over to the table.

Walking as quietly as I can, I sneak over to the table and take a look at the stuff on it. While I'm curious about what's in the books, I reeeeally don't want to touch anything so that's right out. It'd be another story if they were open, but oh well.

And I don't even want to look at whatever the heck's in that glass dish. For all I know, it's a monster that eats little boy eyes or something.

So that only leaves the piece of paper that's just kind of lying there. As I lean over to get a better look (my eyesight's getting kind of crappy lately, I'm kind of scared that I'm gonna need to wear glasses like Sylvie), I see that it's...

"...a drawing?" I say out loud.

>"that's right, niklaus replies"
>>
>>29939450
Melanie. Aww shieeet.

Picking up the piece of paper to bring it into the light, I see that it's a drawing of...

...Melanie? And she's smiling in that really happy way that Mom does when she's just gotten done baking a particularly fancy cake. While I dunno why Niklaus has a drawing of Melanie just lying around like this, I have to admit that it's really nice. I kind of want to give it to Nico, I'm sure that she'd love it.

"Huh... I wonder if he drew that himself," Guillaume says from behin-
"What the heck, I told you to wait until I said it was okay!" I whisper-shout at him.
"I figured that it would be okay if you're actually touching stuff," he shrugs.

OH GOD THERE'S SOMETHING BEHIND ME.

Placing the drawing back on the table as gently as I can, I slowly turn around and look past Guillaume (who doesn't notice anything wrong, the moron), and see a man.

Floating in the air.

Upside down.

And why is his hair pink.

"Two male human children, snooping about in my personal things, placing their grimy cheese-stained hands on that which gives me the will to keep on in the absence of my beloved..." Niklaus says as he continues to float there behind Guillaume.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!" Guillaume screams at the top of his lungs as he immediately ducks down and jumps backwards under the table, all in one motion.

I'd probably be impressed if I wasn't so scared myself.

I'm so scared that I can't move. What if he uses some kind of horrible forbidden magic to turn us both into chickens for trespassing in his lab!? What if his latest experiment needs little boys as a vital ingredient!?

But as I open my mouth, only one thing comes out.

"Wwwwwwhy is your hair pink?" I ask, my voice wavering because HOLY CRAP HE'S SCARYYY
"...huh?" Niklaus just looks at me as he slowly spins right-side up and then lands gently on the floor. "Still..."

He then reaches on the top of his head and pulls a lock of hair in front of his eyes.

"Huh, so it is," Niklaus sighs. "I'd thought that magic explosion had no sideeffects, but I guess I was wrong about that after all."
"Y- you didn't know that your hair turned pink?" I ask.

Because seriously, how the heck do you not notice that your hair's turned PINK.

"Eh, it's just hair color," Niklaus says, shrugging. "I'll change it back later... but more importantly," he ducks down and scuttles towards the table like a crab, getting RIGHT UP IN GUILLAUME'S FACE. "What causes two little boys who should clearly know better to go around trespassing in another's quarters? Do I need to put a 'no little boys allowed' sign on my door now?"

I guess I better speak up before Guillaume ends up peeing all over the place. Then Niklaus really WOULD want to kill us.

"We were bored so my brother decided to come in here since it's the last part of the castle that we haven't been in," I say. "He was also hoping to find some way for him to get super strong all at once so that he could beat Reinhold and win Sylvie over..."

While I am willing to save you from embarrassment, that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna get a few digs in while I'm at it.

"Ah," Niklaus says, standing up. "I see."
"You're not too mad at us, are you?" I ask.
"please don't be too mad at us," Guillaume says, scooting back and rising on the other side of the table, I guess to put a barrier in between him and Niklaus.
"Meh, I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't at least understand how you feel," Niklaus nods. "After all, I myself have been rejected by Melanie, and-"
"Melanie?" Guillaume says, a confused look on his face. "You oughta give up on her while you're ahead..."

oh crap is he actually going to-

I could stop him from saying it.

But he's on the other side of the table and I'd have to jump over and ugh. This is his funeral, I'm done saving him from his own stupidness.

"...Nico likes Melanie and I heard her telling Sylvie that she was finally gonna ask her to be her girlfriend when they got to Marconetti," my IDIOT brother says.
"...what."

Niklaus just stands there, totally in shock.

"And she's practically already her girlfriend as it is, so you oughta give up already," Guillaume shrugs.
"N- Niklaus?" I turn to Niklaus.

There are tears streaming down his face.

"Haha... hahahahahahahhahahahaha... so that's why I was rejected..." Niklaus laughs while crying at the same time. It's kind of scary, to be honest. "My name is right but I was fated to never be allowed into that garden of pure white lilies... it was all a mistake of birth..."

Lilies? What? I have no idea what he's talking about.

"Now, they want children but can't have them. THIS IS CLEARLY A JOB FOR ME, NIKLAUS!!!"

I'll be honest I don't generally care for these side stories, but I can't wait for the slapstick comedy that comes about from Niklaus trying to help their relationship.
>>
>>29940416

Niklaus keeps on crying for a while after that, so I give him a handkerchief to dry his face off with. I don't like seeing grownups cry, it kind of makes me feel sick.

"Th... thanks, Burning," Niklaus says, sniffling.
"It's BERNARD," I mutter.
"It's too bad that there's no way to turn oneself into a woman through magic... and I guess that this shock wasn't enough for a Soul Ascension so that way's out too," he sighs.
"Wha- you want to turn yourself into a girl!?" I ask, completely shocked that anyone would ever want to do something like that.

"No, it's but a mere lapse of judgement," Niklaus shakes his head. "While I truly do love my dear sweet Mellow, it would be wrong for me to trample on her love. And besides, I like being a guy far too much for that."
"Uh, okay..." I say.
"No!" he claps his hands all of a sudden. "Though she may never return my affections, I had accepted that long ago! My duty from this point on is to watch on from the sidelines and ensure that things go smoothly for them!"

"Wow, you're taking this pretty well," Guillaume says.
"Of course," Niklaus nods. "Her happiness is what's important here, not mine!"

Guillaume should probably learn that...

"And so, I shall instead focus my passions on my work..." Niklaus says as he looks at the drawing of Melanie with an EXTREMELY sad smile on his face. "...and it just so happens that this leg of testing requires help from an outside person. I'd normally ask Reinhold for help with such a matter, but he's currently up north as I'm sure you know..."

Oh crap, we need to get out of here NOW. But before I can even move, Niklaus grabs onto my shoulder.

I feel kind of sick now.

"Think of this as making up for intruding on my sanctuary," Niklaus says. "Now I only need one of you to help out, so if whoever would like to volunteer would speak up..."

Well, if he pretends not to care about people enough to remember their names...

... then... they... will think he sees them as disposable lab rats? And be more wary of agreeing to be test subjects?

.... so in the end... he pretends not to remember names to make sure people seriously weigh up the risks of helping him for themselves?

I really don't want to.

But still, I ought to try and be brave every once in a while. Right?

"I'll do it..." I mumble.
"Wait!" Guillaume shouts. "I'm the older brother, so I should-"
"No, I've got this one," I shake my head. "Besides, doesn't Marianne like brave guys?"
"C'mon, this ain't the time to be trying to man up..."
"Don't worry, Gills," Niklaus says as he pats me on the head. "All the dangerous parts of my experimentation are handled by yours truly."
"Y- yeah, so don't worry!" I say, trying to hide how nervous I am behind a smile.

I don't think it works.

My big brother looks on in horror as Niklaus picks up the glass tray that was on the table and checks it for something before sliding it over to me.

"Stick your finger in that," Niklaus says.
"Huh!?" I gasp. "But what if it-"
"It's inert right now so there's no danger to you," he shakes his head. "Now do it."

I look into the glass dish, and it seems like there's some kind of metal inside... but it also looks kind of gooey? Huh? But I did volunteer, and Marianne does like tough guys so I point out my pinky finger and slowly move it toward the dish.

>[2/2]

It kind of tingles as I push my pinky finger into the dish of metal. I really hope this isn't mercury or anything, I don't want to end up going crazy or dying or anything from this.

"Umm, now what?" I ask once my finger hits what I'm assuming is the bottom of the dish.
"Three... two... one..." Niklaus counts. "Alright, pull it out."

MORE than happy to get my finger right the heck out of there before something horrible happens, I do as I was told. My finger leaves a hole in the metal goo where it was, but it's gradually filled as the stuff levels back off.

"Is that all?" I ask.
"Your part in this experiment is done, yes," Niklaus replies.
"Thank God..." Guillaume says, breathing a sigh of relief.

"So, umm, what was the point of all that?" I ask.
"Initialization," Niklaus says as he picks up the disk. "It needed to register to the specific magical signature of someone other than me, you see..."
"What for?" Guillaume asks.
"I got the idea to use this as a security function. It registers to one person, and if another tries to mess with it..."

He then turns the dish upside-down, causing the metal goo in the dish to fall on his hand. But somehow, it's still in the same cylinder shape as the dish it was in?

"Now take a look at this, it should be pretty cool," Niklaus says as he pokes the mass of metal in his hand. "When it reacts with another person's magical signature..."

Without warning, HUGE SPIKES OF METAL SHOOT OUT OF THE BLOB... and RIGHT THROUGH NIKLAUS'S HAND!

He winces in pain as he pulls a long spike of metal back through his hand and drops it on the table. Oh god. I think I'm gonna be sick.

Pretty sure you've got the reaction down pat already, little dude.

Once you stop freaking out, we should probably ask how he plans on getting rid of that thing now that it's apparently super-dangerous to anyone who isn't us.

This seems like the only appropriate thing to do in response to that if you're a little kid.

"S-sir! A-are you all right?"

He obviously isn't, and wasn't as long as we remember, but this is a bit extreme.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs, unable to keep from freaking out any longer oh god is he gonna be okay

As I keep on screaming as I watch Niklaus grip his hand in pain, I feel myself being pulled back...

"C- c'mon, we shouldn't be here right now," Guillaume says as he pulls me away from the bloody BLOODY table.
"B- but- but-" trying to stop freaking out and actually talk... HAVE SOME COURAGE BERNARD!!! "N- Niklaus?" I call out. "Are you gonna be-"
"Y- yeah, I got this..." Niklaus replies with a weak smile. "Don't worry, this is my fault... the active side was the top and I forgot that when I dropped it onto my hand that the 'top' was now on the palm of my hand..."
"But what about your hand-"
"Don't worry, I'll just grow a new one," he laughs.

That's not funny.

"This isn't exactly the kind of thing that little kids should be watching, so if you two could maybe leave?" Niklaus says as he tries to keep all he blood in his body from pouring out of his GAPING HAND WOUND.
"don'tworrywe'regonerightnowwwww" Guillaume replies as he drags me straight for the door.

As Guillaume desperately tries to open the door so we can get out oh here, I can hear Niklaus muttering a string of curses in the back of the room. I guess he was trying to hold back because the two of us were there.

After fumbling for a little while, Guillaume actually gets the door open and THANK GOD WE'RE FINALLY OUT OF THERE!

"Uncle Vincent!" Guillaume shouts, grabbing his hand.
"What, did something happen?" Uncle Vincent asks.
"N- NIKLAUS!!" I shout, pointing to Niklaus's lab. "HAND! SPIKE! BLOOD!!!!!"
"God damn it, did he get you two involved in his experiments?" he shakes his head.

"W- we were adventuring and then Niklaus was there and he wanted help so I did and then his hand and there was so much blood-" I stammer.
"Ugh... it's those creepy crystal things again, right?" Sir Vincent sighs. "I didn't want to be anywhere near those things, but I guess I oughta help..."
"Thank you, Uncle Vincent!" Guillaume shouts.
"I swear, it's like everything goes to crap when Thierri and Gregory are gone..." he mumbles. "Keep the girls company for me while I handle this, okay?"

As Uncle Vincent heads to Niklaus's lab, we-

Wait, girls?

"Umm, good morning..." a girl with wavy brown hair waves to us.
"Hey, Valerie," Guillaume waves back, looking kind of annoyed.
"Hey, you say hi too!" Valerie says as she pulls a smaller girl with long blonde hair and glasses into view.
"Good morning, I guess," she mumbles.

Yeah, I ought to be polite. Even if Guillaume doesn't like them very much.

"Good morning, Valerie, Racquel," I say. "So why're you two here in the castle today?"
"Daddy's sad because Sylvie's off in Marconetti, so our mother decided that it would be a good idea for us to spend some time with him today," Valerie says. "It's as boring as ever here, though..."
"What're you talking about, the castle is awesome!" Guillaume says proudly. "Me and Bernard've been exploring it for the past couple of days!"
"And getting in plenty of trouble from what I can tell," Valerie replies.

She's not exactly WRONG, but still...

"I'll have you know that we haven't gotten yelled at ONCE since we started!" Guillaume says, crossing his arms. "So there!"
"Sure you haven't," Valerie sticks her tongue out at him. "So what, is this a practice run for when the two of you go wandering out to try and get yourselves killed in the name of 'adventure'?"
"That's part of it, yeah. I guess I shouldn't expect YOU of all people to understand a man's romance, though..."

"And what do you two do usually?" I ask. "Just sit around?"
"We read books, and have tea parties..." Valerie says.
"...and write stories..." Racquel mumbles.
"And we do needlepoint and other proper things like baking," she boasts.
"Baking?" Guillaume looks at her with an evil grin. "I'll have you know that I am a MASTER CHEF!"

Great, now she's got him started up.

"Even Reinhold himself was brought to tears by by cooking!" Guillaume cackles.
"O- oh yeah?" Valerie crosses her arms. "Then I'd like to try your cooking and see for myself whether or not you're full of crap!"
"Psh, yeah right," he shakes his head. "I'm not in a cooking mood today, so there."
"W- well I didn't want to eat your nasty food anyways!"

You idiot, why don't you realize that Valerie totally likes you?

"That's too bad, we could've got to see you in an apron," Racquel says, smiling in a really creepy way.

Before Valerie and Guillaume can start arguing for real, Uncle Vincent comes back. Thank God.

"Niklaus is gonna be okay, so you two don't need to worry," Uncle Vincent says, walking up to us.
"That's a relief," I mumble. "He's not mad at us, is he?"
"Nah, he knows that it was his own fault for being a careless moron," he shakes his head. "And now that that's over with, what say you two ladies join me once again?"
"Okay, Daddy!" Valerie giggles as she skips over to him.
"'kay..." Racquel says as she does the same.

Before Uncle Vincent walks away, he turns to the two of us.

"I'll tell the cooking staff that the two of you are here, so you can head to the dining hall to have lunch whenever you're ready," he says, smiling.
"Thanks, Uncle Vincent!" Guillaume replies.
"Yeah, you didn't have to do that for us," I say.
"Have fun, you two! And try not to get anyone else horribly injured, okay?"

Waving goodbye, Uncle Vincent and his daughters turn a corner and vanish.

"Hmm..." Guillaume scratches his chin. "What to do next? I was cool with going home after that stuff with Niklaus,"
"Please don't remind me, I can still smell the blood," I sigh.
"Sorry, man..." he shakes his head. "But like I was saying, I would've been fine with heading home but Uncle Vincent said that he's getting the food people to cook for us so I guess we ought to stick around until lunch at least."
"I guess."
"So, uh, what do you want to do now? I kind of want to see what Uncle Guillaume's up to, but I guess you can pick what we do next."

"I guess that sounds like fun," I say. "And I haven't seen him in a while anyways..."
"Yeah, I guess he's been busy what with Dad and Thierri gone," Guillaume nods. "So let's surprise him!"
"I dunno about that, but a visit would be good..."
"C'mon, let's go!"

I'm forced to chase after my stupid brother AGAIN as he runs off in search of the (much much cooler) man who he was named after. I wanna be so cool that people would actually want to name their kid after me some day...

It takes a long time, but we eventually find Uncle Guillaume in what I guess is his office? He is the head butler so I guess it makes sense that he'd have one.

>It was the finals of the Royal Tournament, the first Reinhold had ever been in.
>After realizing he could never beat Reinhold in a contest of strength, Monique tried to put distance between the two of them, but Reinhold wouldn't let him. Pressing his advantage, as his own hard steel clashing with Monique's, his long blade, slick and hot with both blood and sweat, pierced Monique's supple flesh harder, faster, deeper each time.
>Reinhold could tell Monique had nearly taken all he could handle, but he himself was not yet satisfied. Moving quickly, he managed to evade Monique's grasp and get to his exposed backside. Using the secret technique Volker had taught him in the back room of the brothel all those years ago muh trauma, Reinhold swung as hard as he could, and slammed his blade straight into Monique, right down to the hilt.
>Monique cried out in agony, it was all too much for a body to take at once - but Reinhold was merciless. As he slammed the now helpless Monique, he let out a roar of triumph as their battle reached it's climax.

Making a shushing gesture, Guillaume turns to me. Silently, I nod my head.

Today will be the day when we actually sneak up on him!

Holding our breath just in case that would give us away, we creeeeeep into the room, taking special care to avoid any creaking floorboards. As we slowly approach Uncle Guillaume, my heart starts to race... could we have actually made it this time!?

"I do wonder why it is that two small children think that they could ever pull off what countless assassins could not," Uncle Guillaume laughs.
"...crap, we're busted," my brother mumbles as he drops to his knees in defeat.
"Of course you are!" he says as he gets up from his chair and turns to face the two of us.
"Good morning, Uncle Guillaume..." I say, waving nervously. "Sorry for trying to sneak up on you like that."

"No worries, it's not like I don't understand why you'd try," he replies, rustling my hair. "So you two are exploring the castle again in your father's absence?"
"Pretty much," Guillaume shrugs. "And we haven't seen you in a while so we decided to pay you a visit."
"Yeah," I nod.

"Well it's nice to see you," Uncle Guillaume says, smiling. "It's been pretty boring here lately without Reinhold to beat on..."

KNOCK KNOCK

The three of us turn to the open door, where a butler is standing. I guess he wanted something?

"Sorry to bother you," the butler says, bowing, "but there's an incident among the guards and I don't know how to handle it..."
"Very well," Uncle Guillaume says, cracking his knuckles. "Just lead the way and I'll take care of it."

Then he turns to us.

"You two wait there if you want, I'll try to take care of this as quickly as I can."
"'kay," I nod.
"Okay," Guillaume does the same.

And with that, Uncle Guillaume follows the other butler out of the room.

A few minutes after Uncle Guillaume leaves the room, the OTHER Guillaume starts poking around as if this is -his- office.

"C'mon, you shouldn't be doing that," I say, shaking my head.
"What, it's not like he said for us to NOT snoop around," Guillaume replies.
"But still..."
"Hey, what if he's got something really cool in here? We can surprise him by showing that we already know about it when he tries to show us himself!"

Well it WOULD be pretty cool to actually be able to catch him off-guard for once in my life...

"Alright, but no breaking anything, alright?" I say.
"As if I'd ever break anything that belonged to Uncle Guillaume," he scoffs. "I'm gonna check these shelves so you check the desk, okay?"
"Whatever..."

As my brother heads over to mess around on the shelves in the side of the room, I walk up to the desk that Uncle Guillaume was sitting at when we first showed up. It looks like he was reading a letter...

Sitting down on the chair (against my better judgement), I scoot it close to the desk and start reading...

IIRC he retired after an incident while out adventuring with Celestino and Nicolas.

>"This was before he was coronated," Nicolette explains. "They traveled the continent for a good while, but they eventually ran afoul of the wrong people and shit went south... Arnaud managed to beat them all himaelf, but it messed him up pretty badly and so they all split up."
>"...oh."

>"So Arnaud became a butler for the royal family here, and the King was coronated King... Grampa was the only one who kept on adventuring," Nicolette says. "He hooked up with Grandma along the way and had Mom, but Grandma got killed by some dragon bastard and he had to raise their daughter alone."

Pretty sure we don't know whether the personal consequences of incident itself were what caused them to split up and him to retire, or if he retired into being a butler because his adventuring crew split.

Sneaky reading means reading fast!

After calling Guillaume over, I pour over the letter...

"There appear to have been several attacks on Princess Luciana, though the determination as to whether they were kidnapping or assassination attempts is unknown at the moment. Reinhold seems to have helped foil the last incident, though I was not present. Princess Luciana's bodyguard appears to be in pursuit of the ones responsible, hunting for them at night. Permission to assist?"

Whos, seriously?

"Monique Gilbeault of the Border Guard seems to have run afoul of a related perpetrator last night, though he apparently slew his attacker before any information could be procured. The night before, the same Monique Gilbesult interrupted Prince Emilio's birthday party to challenge Reinhold to a duel. The challenge was accepted, and this was the only real happening of interest during said party."

OH MY GOD WHAT!? WHY THE HECK WASN'T I THERE TOO AAAAAAAGH

"Holy crap what!?" Guillaume gasps. "Aw man, I wish I could've been there to see that..."
"I KNOW!" I shout.

>[1/?]
>>
>>29942572
So then, who is this letter from?
Melanie?
>>
>>29942589

"Permission to assist?" certainly points to a subordinate...

>>
>>29942572
Could be Gregory as well, I mean it's no surprise Arnaud would be opening king's letters and filtering them.
>>
>>29942572

Swallowing my annoyance at having missed out on something as amazing as that, I keep on reading...

"The duel went as scheduled, and Monique Gilbeault revealed himself to be the current holder of the Sealed King 'Frozen Tempest' Setsuranka. Thanks to underhanded tactics using this sword, he won the duel and Reinhold was hospitalized for several hours."

"W... what?" I gasp, as my entire body goes cold. "G- Guillaume, did you..."
"Yeah, I did," my brother nods. "Reinhold lost to that guy because..."
"Aww man I feel so stupid for not going!" I shout, angrily shaking my fists into the air. "I could've gotten to see a SEALED KING in person!!"
"Too bad the guy who has it seems to be a cheating dick, though..." he sighs.
"Yeah, seriously," I say, shaking my head. "It's not fair..."

"C'mon, let's keep reading before Uncle Guillaume gets back," Guillaume says.
"Yeah, alright," I reply.

"As an immediate result of the revelation that Monique Gilbeault is the holder of a Sealed King, King Celestino attempted to have Princess Luciana engaged to him. This plan was foiled due to the Princess informing Reinhold and the others, and their informing King Thierri and Sir Gregory in turn. Though Monique Gillbeault will not be marrying Princess Luciana after all, he will most likely be lost to Granache pending his acceptance of King Celestino's alternate offer come tomorrow afternoon."

"Luciana's too good for a guy who cheats in duels, anyways," Guillaume says.
"I wonder if Dad threatened to kill him..." I mumble. "You know that he probably would, right?"
"I'm older than you, remember? That means that I have more memories of him flipping out over stuff like that than you do."
"Shut up..."

"As a secondary result of this incident, Reinhold and Princess Luciana appear to have entered a romantic relationship. I am not sure if King Celestino will approve, though the involvement of Agnes Eschenwald may suggest a positive result. More details to come in the next letter."

"...what?" I gasp. "Reinhold and... Luciana!?"
"Duuuuuuuuuuude!" Guillaume shouts, jumping up and down. "Reinhold and Luciana! That means that Sylvie's ALL MINE!"
"Y- yeah, but it also means that-"
"Who cares if he's gonna be family? MY ONLY RIVAL IS OUT OF THE PICTURE!"

I get that he's happy, but still...

"Yes, I'm sure that it's happy news for all parties involved," Uncle Guillaume says from behind-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH WE WERE TOO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

"You know, it's rude to read other people's mail..." he sighs. "And in this case, it could also be considered slightly treasonous.."

".. Are you going to have to recruit us to become spies in exchange for our lives now, Uncle Guillaume?"

yeah, we should give all we got. Our lives depend on it.

Also, it is nice to joke about melon being secret ninja meido, i'd call it absolute bullcrap if it really is her.
I dont think it is Nico, because Arnauld employing her as a spy in this manner doesnt seem right, considering his relationship with her grandfather, mother and father.
Gerhard seems plausible. He could be there serving tea to royal table and noone would notice i bet.
Or it could be someone else.
>>
>>29942921

Why isn't Melanie plausible? Arnaud probably recruited her already anyway.

Also, is this letter really spying? Arnaud probably needs to stay informed about what happens anyway, and none of this stuff is exactly super secret information, besides the part about Monique marrying Luciana.
>>
I think we should be glad that Bernard isn't hearing voices or responding to them.
>>
>>29942979

Luciana's kidnappers, Reinhold helping, Takamaru and Monique fighting, those are pretty super secrets.

"OHMYGODIMSORRYYYYY" Guillaume shouts.
"We're so sorryyyyy!!!!" I shout too. "nobody ever tells us anything ever and everyone's gone and nobody tells us what's going on and we just wanted to knooooooooooow!! Please please PLEASE don't tell Mom pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!" I fall on my knees.

Uncle Guillaume looks at the two of us with a really annoyed expression for a few seconds before sighing and picking up the letter off his desk.

"I guess it was my own fault, leaving such vital information just lying around with two NOSY little kids in the room," he sighs. "Very well, consider yourselves forgiven."
"oh my god thank you!!!" Guillaume shouts as he runs up to his namesake and hugs him.
"Yeah..." I mumble. "Umm, can I become a spy too when I grow up? I mean, we ALMOST snuck up on you this time, and..."
"Absolutely not," he shakes his head. "Even ignoring the risks, there's simply no way. Not to mention that the person who wrote this letter is only in my service as a punishment of sorts..."

"Who WAS the one who wrote that, anyways?" Guillaume asks.
"Umm, we can give you an information exchange in return," I say. "'Cuz I bet you didn't know what we know!"
"I very much doubt that there's anything that the two of you know that I wouldn't," Uncle Guillaume replies, laughing at the two of us.
"Oh yeah?" I cross my arms. "Well I BET you didn't know that Nioc's gonna confess to Melanie while they're out in Marconetti!" I say, proud of myself.

Uncle Guillaume stares at us for a few seconds in total disbelief. Ha! I told you that I knew something that you didn't!

this answers both of your questions. i call bullshit on melanie having the combat prowess to assist on hunting assasins/kidnappers. and that line and the general tone of latter obviously implies someone watching and informing arnauld of everything happening, which is spying.

I feel really bad on the kingdoms who targets Granache.

Honestly, if it was Melon, than there will be officially no reason for Reinhold to be around.

Bullshit. That one was pathetic, and he would not ask for 'permission' to assist, he would pray to not get ordered to.

>>29943103

That's what I thought, but Melon isn't around all the time and we don't know what her exact talents of "assistance" are.
>>
>>29943061
Actually now that I'm thinking about it a little more, it wouldn't make sense that he refers to Marianne as "the Princess" and Luciana as "Princess Luciana" if it was a guy who was not originally from Granache, so this is probably less likely than it seems at first glance.

Not to mention asking to assist in pursuing kidnappers/assassins not seeming too in-character for the guy we caught.

"Nico... you mean your -sister- Nicolette?" Uncle Guillaume asks. "She's romantically interested in Melanie?"
"Yeah," I nod. "You can even ask my parents, we've all known about it for years."
"Yup," Guillaume says. "We're not lying."
"Umm, I don't even know how to take that news," Uncle Guillaume says. "I didn't even know that Nicolette was, well... into girls. I mean, I'd always assumed that she and Reinhold would get together."
"I kind of did too, but I guess he's with Luciana now," I shrug. "So I gave my information, now it's your turn!"

Haha, I feel like a real spy!

"Your big mistake there wss being naive enough to assume that I'd give my information after learning about what you had to offer," Uncle Guillaume laughs.
"Wh- what?" I stutter. "That's not fair, we actually had real information that you didn't know about!"
"And this is why you fail at being spies, children," he laughs at us. "But out of pity, I'll answer any question as truthfully as I can about anything ASIDE from the person who wrote that letter. Because you were right in that I didn't know about your sister's, um... inclinations."

Crap, I'm sure that there's a ton of stuff that I could ask him... but there's only one thing that I can think of right now. And looking over at Guillaume, he seems to be every bit as stumped as I am. I guess it's this question after all...

"Umm, how come nobody can ever ever sneak up on you?" I ask. "I mean, we've tried SO MANY times, but you always find us..."
"Oh, that?" Uncle Guillaume says, smiling at me. "And here I thought that you'd ask for one of my deep dark horrible secrets or something... but since you asked about that specific thing, I'll give you a specific answer."

...did we just get ripped off?

>>29943292

"You can't sneak up on me because you're a living thing," Uncle Guillaume says. "You, Gregory, Gerhard... it's all the same to me. Your movements themselves give yourselves away to me."
"Then what, we just have to be still?" I ask.
"Nope, that won't help at all," he laughs. "Since you're still blinking... breathing... even the beating of your heart gives yourself away to me, and there's no way for any living thing to get past that. The only possible way for someone to sneak up on me is to rush in before I noticed, as fast as they can."
"So we just gotta get really fast then," Guillaume nods.
"I very much doubt that that's possible for you," he laughs. "I've yet to meet a single human OR dragon who is actually faster than my reaction speed. And my sphere of awareness is such that I could count the exact number of people in this castle down to the last man if I felt like it."

I'm really confused here... but I guess he did answer my question.

"And now I need to hurry up and write a response to this letter, I shall have to ask you two to leave," Uncle Guillaume says. "I don't need two little spies trying to peek over my shoulder as I write, after all.

Sir Vincent did let the cooking staff know we'd be on our way eventually, after all.

I mean, it was almost assuredly that he wasn't going all-out, but he wasn't exactly taking it easy on us either, considering that he's a bit of a betting man, and he decided to make one with us during the spar.

> "How about this, Reinhold? If you can get one hit in before I hit you three times, I'll give you the win." he says, a sly grin on his face.

"Yeah, I'm getting hungry too," I say.
"Then let's head to the dining hall!" Guillaume shouts in his best impression of Uncle Thierri as he points towards the nearest stairwell.
"Aye aye sir!" I say as I march behind him.

Acting goofy is fun... though it's more fun when Nico's around too. I hope she comes back soon.

Me and Guillaume march all the way down to the dining hall, saluting every single guard that we see as we pass. Some of them laugh at us, others give their very best salutes right back. And as we march into the dining hall, we see that there's two other people in the room with us.

It would take some pretty extraordinarily perceptive 9-year-old powers to figure it out, yeah.

That said, Bernard IS the bookwormier one of the two, and isn't entirely cut off from the concept of some people batting for the other team. And especially in light of Niklaus' newly-forged fanatical backing of Melonico, he could probably figure out that there are people who are willing to support that sort of lifestyle slightly more than tangentially.

Either way, he probably hasn't put two and two together juuuust yet, but it's basically a guarantee he's going to figure it out before Guillaume ever even comes close.

"Umm, maybe you could cook something, Guillaume?" I ask. "Oh- maybe you could have a cooking battle like you did when Reinhold and Melanie came over that one time!"
"C- cooking battle?" Valerie gasps as her face starts to turn red.
"Sorry, but Valerie can't cook," Racquel says. "Not even s little bit, it's kind of sad."

"Ha, I figured as much," Guillaume laughs. "And it's not like I want to cook for YOU to begin with, Valerie!"
"I'm sure that you'd cook for Sylvie, though..." Valerie mumbles under her breath. "You only like her because she's got big boobs..."

Oh yeah, Valerie's kind of flat. Not that I notice stuff like that.

Yeah, and flat-chested. Quite logical.
>>
>>29943704

I fact, I think it's cuter when they're not all huge like- AAGH WHAT AM I SAYING!?

"I'll have you know that I liked Sylvie WAY before her boobs got big!" Guillaume shouts, pointing at Valerie. "Unlike YOU, your big sister is cute and sweet and she wears glasses that make her even cuter and she's funny and likes to help Mom out and she's best friends with Nico and she's really cool with her fighting stuff on top of EVERY OTHER WAY THAT SHE'S BETTER THAN YOU!"

Wow, did he say all that in one breath?

"As if I'd only like her because she's got big boobs!" Guillaume shakes his head. "Those are just a bonus!"

Aaaaand it looks like Valerie wants to hit him for what he said. To be honest, I kind of want to as well... but instead, I grab his arm and pull him over to the far end of the table so he can't start anything else with those two.

"What the heck, man!?" Guillaume mutters as he sits down next to me.
"You need to learn how to talk to girls," I sigh. "And even if you don't like her, Valerie is still Sylvie's SISTER, you know. I doubt she'd like you for picking on her little sister any more than you'd like it if Sylvie started being mean to me all of a sudden."
"I guess you kind of have a point there..."

And just as it looks like Guillaume's starting to cool off some, Valerie walks all the way around the table and sits down right next to him. What the heck is wrong with her, is she TRYING to start a fight now!?

"...what are you doing?" Guillaume asks, glaring at her.
"Daddy said that we have to eat lunch WITH you, not on the opposite side of the room from you," Valerie says, blushing. "It's not like I WANT to sit next to you, so shut up about that."
"The seat next to Bernard's open too, you k-"
"Nope, it's taken," Racquel says as she slides up next to me. "Daddy's orders and all... just think of it as having a sister sandwich for lunch."

As she starts laughing in a really creepy way, I can't help but stare at her. Was that supposed to be some kind of a weird joke? I don't get it.

Probably not, but given that he told us that even reading it could be considered mildly treasonous, we'd probably be inclined to be really careful with what we talk about from it.

>>29943908
This, at least, we know happened completely in public and definitely isn't going to be a secret, so we're probably safe to talk about it as long as we don't let slip how we learned it.

Just maintain that air of mystery. A man's got to have his secrets, after all.

Ugh, I guess I ought to try and talk about something before this tension causes a fight to break out. And seriously, Valerie? JUST SAY THAT YOU LIKE HIM ALREADY INSTEAD OF BEING ALL STUPID LIKE THIS!

"Umm... we found out some interesting stuff from Uncle Guillaume," I say. "Wanna know?"
"I dunno, it might be too important to tell these two..." Guillaume replies, grinning.
"I'd like to know," Racquel says as she scoots a little bit closer to me. "You can tell me and not Valerie if you want, I'll keep it a secret from her if you really want."
"You're really weird but you're not a jerk like Valerie so I guess it's okay if we told YOU..."

C'mon, man. She's sitting right next to you, do you want her to stab you with a fork or something?

"It's all or nothing," I say to Guillaume.
"Please, Guillaume?" Racquel pleads. "You like glasses, right? I'll kiss you if you want me to... I'll even stick some pillows in my chest so you can imagine that it's Sylvie doing it."
"RACQUEL!!" Valerie shouts.
"Tell you what, you can hear as long as you DON'T do that," he says with a really grossed-out expression on his face.
"You don't want my first time...?" Racquel pouts. "Very well, I'll save it for another occasion."

"Unless you want it, Bernard?" she asks, turning to me.
"No thank you," I reply in my best monotone.

THAT'S IT

Better spill it before we both end up getting bad-touched by this girl...

"So, umm..." I begin, "...Reinhold got into a duel up in Marconetti. And the other guy..."
"He had a SEALED KING," Guillaume says, grinning.
"A what...?" Racquel gasps. "Wh- who had it!? Which one!? How big was it!?"
"Wow, one of the Sealed Kings..." Valerie says. "Daddy never really cared much for that kind of thing, but I'd be lying if I said that I wouldn't like to see at least one..."

"The holder is Monique Gilbeault from the Border Guard, he's the one who Reinohld beat in the tournament finals over here," I say.
"And his Sealed King is Setsuranka, the Frozen Tempest," Guillaume finishes my sentence.
"Oooooooooooh, so a really hot guy got a really pretty sword!" Racquel giggles. "Maybe I'll get to see it when he comes back over here..."
"He's probably not coming back though," Guillaume says. "Uncle Celestino tried to marry Luciana off to him, but Reinhold got my Dad to get that stopped before it could even start."
"Really?" Valerie says. "I dunno, that guy was pretty cute from what I saw of him at the tournament..."

"He's a dick who cheated to win a duel between MEN," Guillaume says, scowling at her. "You obviously have crappy taste in men."
"M- maybe I do..." Valerie mumbles.
"Anyways, Luciana's going out with Reinhold now so that's out of the question period," I say.
"Yup, and now my only rival for Sylvie's affections is out of the picture!"

Guillaume looks really pleased with himself right now, but both Valerie and Racquel seem really sad to hear that.

>>29944386

>>29944386
I mean, we've pretty much been doing this regardless. Like, we managed to let two people know within like an hour of it happening.

We were pushing up the timetable on this pretty far on our own even without metagame reasons to be doing so.

"Aw man, Sylvie's gonna be devastated..." Racquel sighs.
"Yeah," Valerie nods.

Oh yeah, Sylvie likes Reinhold. Now I feel kind of crappy for being relieved that he picked Luciana too. And just as we're all starting to feel bad (except Guillaume, who's as happy as can be), a maid shoes up with a food cart, and places a tray in front of each of us.

And inside is... turkey sandwiches!

"From what Uncle Vincent was saying, I was thinking that they'd have made something that actually required cooking," Guillaume says once the maid's out of sight.
"You don't like sandwiches?" Racquel asks.
"I do, but... meh," he shrugs. "Mind giving me a hand, Bernard?"
"Yeah, no problem," I reply as I roll up my sleeves.

Concentrating, I hold my hands out over mine and Bernard's plates.

"Let the warmth of the sun gather in my hands and bake that which sits before me," I chant, my eyes closed. "Baking flame."

Heat shoots from my hands for a few seconds, nicely toasting our sandwiches the way that me and Guillaume like. Once the bread is just brown enough, I release the spell and slide Bernard's plat back over to him.

"And THIS is how sandwiches should be," Guillaume says as he checks the contents of his newly toasted sandwich before taking a bite out of it. "Thanks, bro."
"You can thank Mom for teaching me that spell," I reply.


>[3/?]
>>
>>29944410
Wouldn't help. Bernard could be antisocial but Guillame would brag like the little shitstarter he is.
>>29944415
She doesn't know. Everyone in the castle knows. She hears rumors all over the place.
She learns the truth the hard way.
Lotsa tears and fists.
>>29944416
And it's a good thing we did.
>>
>>29944441
I want to see it happen. It would be cathartic for her.
>>
>>29944441
>She doesn't know.

Reinhold will tell her tomorrow.
>>
Reinhold is going to break the news to Sylvie soon anyway, not doing so until they're back at the castle would be the worst thing he could do and would lose him a lot of his friends, not to mention Vincent wanting to beat our ass.
>>
>>29944439
Bernard! This is very important so listen up. If you kind of like Valerie and don't want to get stuck with Racquel you should offer Val your toasted sandwich befor either sister makes their move. Do it now!
>>
>>29944439
>Bernard can do SANDWICH WIZARDRY
And just when I thought he couldn't get any better.
>>
Why is Bernard so much more based than his brother?
>>
>>29944497
I think we shouldn't tell her
until we send out wedding invitations
>>
>>29944514
He's basically the Matthias to Guillame's Monique.
>>
>>29944514

Hey, his brother can bake a really good cake. Let's not be hasty.
>>
>>29944517
I'm not saying we tell her, I'm saying we be slightly proactively nice to her before she steals Guillaume's plate and her sister steals ours.
>>
>>29944524
A perfect parallel. The Mage bro is based while the sword bro's kind of an ass.
>>
>>29944439

Yeah, this is good. Really good.

...and now Valerie's staring at Guillaume's sandwich, her mouth watering.

"U- umm, Guillaume?" she calls out. "Could I maybe... I mean, I'm not trying to beg or anything but-"
"Ugh, just take it," Guillaume says, rolling his eyes as he picks up the sandwich that he'd just took a bite out of and shoves it into Valerie's mouth. "Now you can't say that I never did anything nice for you."

Her face bright red, Valerie bites off the part of the sandwich that Guillaume force-fed her, quickly swallowing it before turning to him.

"Th... thanks, Guillaume!" Valerie shouts. "This- I mean, it's really good, and-"
"Whatever, just give me yours so I can have something to eat myself," Guillaume sighs.
"S- sure!"

She then slides her plate over to Guillaume, who then slides his over to me.

"Hate to bug you again, but..." he sighs.
"don't worry about it," I reply, taking the five seconds that I need to recast the spell and toast this sandwich as well. And while I'm doing that, I think I can hear Racquel mumbling something about indirect something?

Who cares, she's really weird anyways.

>>
>>29944584
Who knows? Monique has an elemental powering up his magic now.
>>
>>29944563

Since Racquel seems to be happy with her sandwich as-is, I focus my attention on the food in front of me... and pretty much inhale it. Nico would be proud.

Guillaume seems to have finished his sandwich before I did, but the girls take a while to finish. I guess they're "proper ladies" or something, though Sylvie eats just as fast as we do. But we're still (kinda) proper gentlemen and it's not right to get up from the table until everyone else has finished eating EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO SIT NEXT TO US LIKE THAT.

"Umm... that was really good," Valerie says, looking down at her empty plate while blushing. "Thanks for toasting the sandwiches, Bernard..."
"Don't worry about it," I shrug.
"And, umm..."

She turns to Guillaume and closes her eyes, moving in for...

"Huh?" Guillaume says, turning to Valerie just in time to for her lips to- "WHAT THE HECK, VALERIE!?" he screams as he leans back and completely flips over the back of his chair in order to avoid it. He's only ever impressive when it doesn't freaking matter, I guess.
"Wha-" Valerie stammers as she realizes that she's just been evaded.
"What, do you like me or something!?" Guillaume shouts. "Or were you trying to kiss me just because-"

C'mon, please don't be a moron here.

"Y- you fed me your sandwich and then you were actually nice so I thought that meant that you didn't hate me and I didn't feel so stupid for liking you anymore so-" Valerie says as hr eyes start to water up.
"Crap..." Guillaume mumbles. "Look, the only one allowed to kiss me is Sylvie," he sighs. "...and Mom, I guess. And Nico when she's had too much to drink. B- but my point is that I don't like you liek that. I mean, I guess you're not all bad or anything, but..."
"No, I get it," Valerie says, trying to wipe the tears out of her eyes. "Sorry..."

Umm... should I say something right now? I mean, this looks kind of bad...
>>
>>29944834
Yeah, the more I'm thinking about it the less confident I am that I'm remembering that scene correctly.

>>29944925

>>29944848
Smack Guillaume at the back of his head.

>>29945104

Fucking Kevin Spacey's character. Fuck that guy.

"Ooh I need to kill the last person, and the only sin I have left is Wrath... How do I do that? How do people embodying Wrath die? Hooooow? I know, let's check the Bible for hints!"

I agree it is one of the biggest dick moves in film history but that's what makes it such a great moment
>>
>>29945084
Supporting this

Okay, that was a massive waste of time.
Anyways,

>that was a massive waste of time

>writing
Sweet!

>>29945225
Lose the post?

>>29945279
So far. Never doubt Korean cinema's ability to top itself.

>>29945279
I completely forgot about Oldboy

>>29944860
Most improbable would be the king, most probable would be Gregory.
>>
>>29945376
I don't se Gregory writing about himself in the third person though.
>>
>>29945376
could also be the maid

>>29945304
Headed to the bank but there were like twenty people in the line in front of me so I headed back.
Not going to waste an entire hour in line.

You would if you were a spy who didn't want anyone to know your identity.

>>29945424
Hell yeah, don't submit to the system! Don't spend your life waiting in lines!

>>29945424
ATM not an option?

>>29945424
It's okay to shoot them, they're robots.
>>
>>29945424
Ouch. I was actually in that situation last week. Luckily they let me take a number and go grab lunch but it was stil a bitch of a wait.

Man, I love smartphones. How did humanity survive without them in the past?
