You are Reinhold Eschenwald, 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.

Though Carina took the news that she'll be staying at Citrine and Marius's place pretty badly at first, she seems to have gotten over the initial shock pretty quickly.
(You're pretty sure that the prospect of her getting her own room helped with this at least a little bit.)

While Marius shows her around her temporary home, you and the others have retired to the living room for a short break from the day's excitement.


>Congratulations, Reinhold is now a fearsome DIRE WOLF!
>Much larger than their the other types of wolf, the Dire Wolf's size also means that they are also that much more dangerous.
>The Princess considers you to be her dear friend!
>But while dire wolves are massive, they still don't -quite- stand on the same level as people.

Of course Agnes would know that Adrien was a Prince... Volker had been friends with both him and Sir Gregory since they were kids, apparently. You just wish that -you- had known about all this.

"I guess I should tell you that Adrien was able to avenge Volker," you say.
"He did?" Agnes's eyes widen with surprise. "...well at least now Volker's soul will be able to rest in peace," she sighs. "It would have been nice if he had actually taken the time to visit Marconetti and actually tell me that he did so..." she sighs.
"Also..." Luciana speaks up. "There's something else about him that I thought that you ought to know," she says, glancing at you like she wants you to follow her lead.
"Oh?" Agnes replies. "What, did he come back with a wife in tow?"
"Not quite," you say with a weary laugh. "He does have a kid, though..."
"What!?" the old woman gasps.

She'd think Karel is a better swordie than Reinhold so he should stay home with the kids once Karel's good to go back to the dueling circuit.

Holy cow, actually managed to make it to a PGQ thread again. Still working on writing the Kireihold rewrite when I get the chance, but I don't often get to. I don't suppose Kirei himself's had a chance to look over the little preview yet?

>>37578368
He said that he'd be reorganizing the order of some events to make it flow better, so it might not be entirely possible. But I suppose that would be the way to the end of Luciana's 'good' route. I assume that if we get the normal end here, we'll get a dojo and GO FOR THE GOLD, BABY.

I'd be willing to shell out twice as much if there's a hidden Tina* route that requires NO female flags whatsoever and hanging out with Niklaus to the exclusion of all else. So much fun.

Yup. Vincent talks with his family about the stuff that's happened throughout the day and Nicolette's best friends with Sylvie so the stuff that you do around them will get relayed to her secondhand.

"Yeah," you smile nervously. "Umm... you remember Karel, right?"
"P- Prince Emilio's bodyguard!?" Agnes gasps. "You don't mean..."
"Prince Raoul is Karel's father, yes," Luciana nods.
"Oh my..." the old woman closes her eyes and shakes her head. "So there's been a Prince acting as another Prince's bodyguard all this time..."
"Actually, no," you say. "There's been a Princess acting as a Prince's bodyguard all this time."
"...huh?" she furrows her wrinkled brow. "Are you trying to say that-"
"Yeah, Karel's a girl," you shrug.

Your words surprise Agnes so much that Citrine actually leans over and holds her for fear of the old woman falling over.

"Grandma, are you alright!?" Citrine asks.
"Y... yes," Agnes replies, placing a hand to her forehead. "That's just... you're not joking about that? Karel really is a girl?"
"She is," Luciana replies. "Uncle Gregory blurted it out to the entire world yesterday, but it seems that Reinhold knew long before any of the rest of us did," she says, cutting you a sharp glance.

"Hey," you shrug, "it wasn't my secret to tell."
"Even so..." Agnes takes a deep breath to try and calm herself down. "How long did you know that Karel was actually a girl?" she asks. "Since before the party?"
"No, I had no idea back then," you reply. "I found out in the middle of that assassin attack that happened like the day before we left."
"Oh, I see."

You can't blame her for being being this surprised, and now you're feeling guilty for having done the right thing.

"No wonder she was so excited to talk to me..." Agnes sighs. "...and considering what I went through when I was younger, I can't blame her for posing as a boy all this time."

You guess there's no harm in telling them now...

"Well," you sigh, "I was worried about what would happen if Karel got found out accidentally. There've already been a few close calls, and I wanted to make sure that she'd have someone other than me to back her up just in case, you know?"
"But she's the King's niece," Citrine says. "I can't think of more backup than that..."
"Yeah, but I didn't know that yet," you reply. "So I managed to convince her to confide in Ariane, since she's one of the nicest people I know..."
"...and then she told UNcle Gregory?" Luciana asks. "I'd have thought that it'd be something that she'd want her to keep a secret."
"Karel wasn't too happy about that either," you shrug.

And then he couldn't even keep it to himself for a full day.

Rein and Karel would probably have been minced there and then.

"I guess now I have yet another reason to visit the castle," Agnes laughs. "I'll have to see Karel with my own eyes before I can really believe that she's a girl."

You're not too sure that she'd be happy to hear that.

"So I take it she's wearing girls' clothing now?" Agnes asks. "Since there's no point in keeping up the charade..."
"No," Luciana shakes her head. "but all of her clothes have been altered to accommodate her chest."
"Hm."

"Oh?" Agnes seems amused to hear this. "How cute are we talking here?"
"A lot like Marianne," you say. "Except with short hair... it wouldn't be hard to confuse them for sisters."
"Oh my!" she laughs. "Now I'm really regretting not getting here a day earlier..."

I think she's a terrible choice for the character. I think Nico works best with an adjusted Rein. Sylvie would have been good. I think Marianne would have really developed well with him and they would have worked to better each others fears.

Luci in my opinion plays to the worst traits of Reinhold.

"And then there's the way he ran after her after he said something stupid to hurt her feelings..." Luciana giggles.
"He did?" Agnes asks.
"Well considering that Karel seems to have a HUGE crush on him, I bet he was feeling particularly guilty."
"...she does?" Agnes gasps.
"Oh, I bet you'll be able to tell within a few minutes of seeing the way they interact now," she laughs. "Though I bet Reinhold knew about how Karel felt about him long before the rest of us..." she says, glancing at you.

All you can do is shrug.

Rein needs to have a "It's nice when all the pieces fall into place line." Too many people underestimate because of his niceness and lack of high society learnings. It's good to remind them that we can be sneaky too.

>>37581454
>[3/3]

The ladies go on for a while longer, but you son grow tired of their Karel-related gossip so you decide to try and change the subject.

"Hey, Grandma?" you call out. "How were things in Marconetti when you left?"
"Oh, that's right!" Citrine holds a finger in the air. "I bet Luciana's really worried about her home..."
"Yes, I am," Luciana sighs. "And Father refrains from mentioning anything important in his letters."

Probably in an attempt to keep her from worrying about her home... but doing that only serves to make her imagine the absolute worst. She tries to put up a brave face around you, but you've noticed her facade break every so often.

When you've got a very petty nobility, it's sometimes best to avoid marrying them into the royal family so as to avoid infighting among nobles for the marriage positions.

"Do you know anything about how Luciana's siblings are doing?" you ask.
"Erm..." Agnes scratches her head, "...I know that out of all of them, only Prince Alberto and Princess Benedetta are still in the kingdom. All the others have either been married off to foreigners or sent away like Lisette's children."
"Hm."
"As for them, I don't really pay much attention to how things in the castle are so I'm sorry to say that I couldn't help with anything specific," she says. "I did notice that Alberto was really stressed out when I went to the castle to get those adoption papers... this entire situation's really doing a number on him."
"I see..." Luciana scowls.

"It's probably from all the pressure," Luciana says. "Father's sure to be relying on him more than ever, and he doesn't have Giancarlo to help him like usual..."

Of course she wouldn't be happy to hear about that...

"What about the country itself?" Luciana asks. "Did the borders closing hurt things too much?"
"There was a big mess about a month ago when it first happened, but I haven't noticed any massive change as far as daily life goes," Agnes replies. "Just that it's a lot harder to get exotic foods and the like."
"I guess that makes sense..."
"As far as the country itself, things were kind of on edge as of late," Agnes says. "Celestino's managed to capture or kill all of those traitorous Guards and I think things are safe on that front, but they still haven't figured out who they're working for."
"I see," Luciana sighs. "Thanks for the information."

The ladies spend the next hour or so going on about all the various things that Luciana misses about her home... after a while you just kind of zone out. You continue to daydream for a good while, at least up until your attention's drawn by Marius entering the living room with Carina.

"I was wondering where you'd gotten to," Citrine laughs. "What happened, did you take a nap?"
"Sorry," Marius smiles, looking kind of embarrassed. "Carina was looking around her new room and then I got inspired to sketch because of how cute it all was and then I kind of lost track of time," he laughs nervously."
"I drawed another picture too!" Carina says, holding up a pastel drawing of what you assume is you, Citrine, Marius, Agnes, Carina, Takamaru and Luciana all holding hands.

"If you want to bring something from a restaurant back over here, I can do that myself," you say to Citrine. "Besides, you're pregnant... you shouldn't be running all around like that."
"C'mon," Citrine rolls her eyes. "I'm still really early along and I can do everything that I could normally do. Honestly, it's not like I'm an invalid..."

It takes a lot of willpower to keep from laughing at the fact that she's pouting in the same way that Carina does.

"Still though," you shrug, "it's not a problem for me to do at all. Just tell me where to go and I'll pick up whatever you want."
"Just let you little brother spoil you for a change, Citrine," Marius laughs.
"Yeah, yeah..." Citrine mumbles.

Taking the sketchbook from her husband's hands. Citrine rips a blank page from the back and scribbles up some directions for you, as well as the specific entrée that she wants you to get.

"Here," she says, shoving the paper in your chest. "The place is close-by so you shouldn't get lost."
"Alright," you nod.
"Now just let me to get my purse..."

Citrine starts to move towards her bedroom, but you grab her arm before she can get too far.

"That won't be necessary," you say. "I'll foot the bill."
"You don't have to do that," Citrine says, shaking your head. "It's bad enough that you're going out there to get the food yourself..."
"Eh, I want to," you reply. "And this way, I get to treat my grandmother to the first meal of her stay here in Granache!"

It is a matter of pride for you.

"If Grandma's okay with it then I guess I really can't refuse..." Citrine grumbles.
"Alright," you say, getting up from your seat. "I'll be right back... hm?"

Luciana's getting up too?

"Would you mind if I accompanied you?" Luciana asks, taking your hand.
"I wanna come too!" Carina says, raising her hand in the air.

Only of the assault on the palace, the original plan seemed to have been to kidnap Luci months before the attack even happened. Plus, pretty much anybody in the castle at the time would have been collateral in the assault, so it probably wasn't orchestrated by someone with any love towards Alberto, Giancarlo or Celestino.

Not saying there is one, just that /tg/ is inconsistent in it's arguments and only acts in a way what is immediately self satisfying with no longer term convictions and only likes to highlight points that are convenient to itself in the present, without sticking to those principles or ideas once they're inconvenient.

"The more the merrier," you say, shrugging.
"Yay, I get to come!" Carina cheers.
"I just figured that since you're getting enough food for..." Luciana counts the people in the room, "...six people, you'd need more than one pair of hands."
"I guess you have a point there," you laugh nervously. "Thanks."
"It's nothing at all!" she replies, smiling at you.
"I will help as well," Takamaru says, speaking up after what seems like forever.
"Umm, I can help carry stuff too," Carina says, looking up at you.

Though you're pretty sure you won't really need the help of a little girl like Carina to carry the food back up here to the apartment, you realize that it would probably hurt her feelings if you said that outright so you make a mental note to hand her something small on the return trip. That way, she'll feel like she helped.

"Altight," you say, patting her on the head. "Now let's go before the others get too hungry."
"Just let me put this hairpin back in first..." Luciana says as she lifts her hair back into the updo that it was in when the three of you arrived here.

Don't worry, I forget that he's present virtually every time that we're with him. Every feast, every trip into town, every time we're with Luci, whenever Arch references him in post I go "Oh shit, yeah, Taka's with us."

Once Luciana's finished fixing her hair, the four of you bid farewell to the Lanzmanns (and Agnes) and head out the door. Fortunately, the directions that Citrine gave you are pretty easy to understand.

"You see even more eager to help than usual, Reinhold," Luciana says, smirking at you.
"Well I'm in a lot better mood than usual," you reply.

We should ask her advice on getting her dad's blessing for marriage. We a noble now, but so far we only have the right to court her. We need to impress him and/or prove our-self. Or Just ask where she was planning on us heading to first for the whole honeymoon adventuring.

"I mean, I have -official- family now," you say. "Like, on paper and everything."
"Yes, that is something to be happy about," Luciana says, smiling warmly. "Not to mention that Carina has a proper home. And also that all three of you are Marconetti nobility now."
"Heh, yeah..." you smile awkwardly. "I dunno how to even take that, to be honest."
"What, you're not happy about that little detail?" she asks. "It's not like you have to move there... not yet, anyways."
"'Not yet?'" you raise an eyebrow.
"Never mind that," she says, sticking her tongue out at you.

Looks like she's already making plans for the future...

"I do hope you're not making decisions about -our- future without me," you say, teasing her.
"Why of course not," Luciana replies. "That would just make me a hypocrite."
"Yeah, it would," you smirk. "...I do wonder if this whole 'nobility' thing will shut people up over there about us, though. You know, since I'm technically 'upper class' now."
"I would hope so," she replies. "You've definitely come a long way..."
"Yeah," you nod. "Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village, huh."

Considering how haughty those folks were acting back at Emilio's birthday party, you're sure that they'd completely lose it if they found out about your upbringing.

"And look at you now," Luciana laughs, "courting a Princess with her father's full approval."
"Life sure is filled with surprises," you say, shrugging.

Enjoying the happy smile on your girlfriend's face, you're taken aback when you see it fade away into a blank expression in a splitsecond. On guard, you trace her line of vision towards whatever it was that caused this change... and see an unassuming man.

"It's okay, Reinhold," Luciana says, placing her hand on your sword hand before you can draw it. "He's one of mine."

Though you're relieved that this isn't some secret assassin come to try and kill Luciana in broad daylight, you find yourself with an entirely new host of concerns...

"Luciana," you sigh, "what was I just saying about surprises...?"
"Sorry, Reinhold," Luciana replies. "This shouldn't take long."

While Luciana and Takamaru approach this new mystery man, you walk over to Carina and pat her on the head.

"Why does Lu... -Violette- look so mad all of a sudden?" Carina asks. You're pretty impressed that she actually remembered Luciana's false name.

"Remember the bad people I told you about earlier?" you ask.
"Uh-huh," Carina nods.
"Well they're making more trouble and Violette doesn't like that."
"Oh."
"You need to keep this a secret though, okay?"
"'Kay," she replies. "I'm good at keeping secrets."
"Attagirl," you say, patting her on the head.

Just as soon as you say that to Carina, you glance over at Luciana and Takamaru and see that they're already on the way back to where the two of you are standing. And Luciana's holding some kind of letter?

"Sorry about that," Luciana sighs as she pulls on the collar of her dress and places the folded-up letter in between her breasts. "That's taken care of for now, so let's get going to that restaurant."

By the way not saying everyone knows that, but it could be found out.
>>
>>37584360
Monique was right! Reinhold is a brown nose social ladder climber!
>>
>>37584360
Or we could get Rein a magic hairpin and then attend parties while pretending to be a couple we made up with a convoluted and elaborately tragic backstory.

Seeing as how you're in the middle of a public street right now, you decide to wait until you're in a slightly more private environment before asking Luciana about the details of what just happened there.

Not to mention the details of the letter that she just put away. In her cleavage.

"Reinhold," Luciana says, looking at you with a sly grin on her face, "where exactly are you looking?"
"Uh-"

Damn, you didn't even mean to do that!

"You really shouldn't be ogling other girls like that, you know? It's all kinds of improper," Luciana teases. "If I recall correctly, aren't you publicly known to be romantically involved with a lady of high upbringing?"
"Uh, yeah?" you nod, playing along with her joke.
"Well it just doesn't look well for you to be ogling other women like this. If you're -that- inclined to do so, I'm sure that your girlfriend would be more than happy to let you stare at -her- bustline, thank you very much," she winks at you.

...did she just outright give you permission to stare at...

Thanks Arch.

>>37584423
Is that all it takes?

>>37584405
We need to hear Carina and Takamaru's reaction to this whole exchange.

>>37584433

"Reinhold?" Carina tugs on your sleeve.
"Hm?" you look down at the little girl. "What's up?"
"Do you like Violette's boobs?"

Both you and Takamaru start coughing really loudly.

"L... let's not talk about that, okay?" you ask, patting the little girl on the head with an extremely pained smile on your face.
"'Kay," Carina replies.

The rest of the walk to the restaurant is silent... aside from Luciana's giggling to herself.

Carina doesn't miss a beat, does she?

Course not. Beets are nutritious food and a starving orphan would never pass one up.

And that's it for tonight's thread, folks. This one was a fun one, and I thank you all for putting up with my slower-than-usual posting rate earlier in the thread.

The next thing I run will be another Princess Guard, though I'm not sure when it'll be. If my plans for tomorrow fall through then it'll be Saturday night, if not then it'll be Sunday night.

I'll definitely have the first day's route tree done by the next thread, and I might even get started on the second day's... maybe. I've made some progress on it during the voting periods of this thread, so here's an updated version.


and now question time
>>
>>37584473
thanks for running! but what the fuck man it's 4am ive been up 22 hours what have you done to me. great work on the charts as well.

give me a minute to think of my questions
>>
>>37584473
Will there only be one chance to routelock each girl?

What does being a noble honestly mean in terms of extra shit Reinhold has to put up with/do?
>>
>>37584487
and by one chance, i mean one point in the story where it's possible to do so
>>
>>37584473
Can there be a version where Reinhold is a grill?
>>
>>37584473
Thanks for running Arch

A few questions:

Is there still any chance we can reach human rank with Marianne by the end of this quest based on how things have gone so far?

From the major Granache characters introduced who actually has human rank?
I'm guessing everyone in family. What about Gregory though? Melanie? Arnaud? Etc.
>>
>>37584473
Thanks for running, Arch.
>>
>>37584473
If the Marconetti royal family aren't from Marconetti, where do they originate from?
>>
>>37584198
>Luci confirmed for 6 toes
>>
>>37584473
Thanks arch those route trees are pretty cool

So Is Cateno a town or a village?

Carina's life has changed a lot in the last 24 hours, hows she holding up?

How will learning magic work in the VN will certain parts be limited to a certain route?
>>
>>37584473
Thanks Arch.

Is Reyna interested in anyone? Is anyone interested in him? Besides Raquel of course. You mentioned he's more handsome than Reinhold and he seems like a nice guy so I'd be surprised if he wasn't getting any attention.
>>
>>37584473
Thanks for running.

can there be a short sidestory like the lil'nico and rein one a couple threads ago?
>>
>>37584525
>implying Reya isn't getting the harem route under Rein's nose
>>
>>37584511
> So Is Cateno a town or a village?
>Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.
>a poor fishing village
>fishing village
>village
>>
>>37584535
The one where Rein was adopted by the Migaults?
>>
>>37584538
Meant to quote >>37584524
>>
>>37584538
>>37584544
Yeah but arch has called it both in the past.
>>
>>37584546
Both are just stand ins for "shithole" in polite company.
>>
>>37584487
>Will there only be one chance to routelock each girl?
For some girls like Luciana, there'll be a single event that is make-or-break to get on their route. For others, it will be flag-based.

>What does being a noble honestly mean in terms of extra shit Reinhold has to put up with/do?
Not that much, to be honest. Agnes does jack-all as far as "noble duties" go, and Volker was even worse about it. Reinhold will probably have more social obligations to that kind of thing because of his relationship to Luciana than his being part of the Eschenwald family.

>>37584493
>Can there be a version where Reinhold is a grill?
I'm too lazy for that.

>>37584494
>Is there still any chance we can reach human rank with Marianne by the end of this quest based on how things have gone so far?
I honestly don't know. Maybe,

>From the major Granache characters introduced who actually has human rank?
>I'm guessing everyone in family. What about Gregory though? Melanie? Arnaud? Etc.
All her family members, even Gregory. Arnaud and Melanie as well.

>>37584511
>If the Marconetti royal family aren't from Marconetti, where do they originate from?
They're descended from a mercenary who helped Sivarios's son reclaim his country, he hailed from somewhere in the north.

>>37584524
>So Is Cateno a town or a village?
Village.

>Carina's life has changed a lot in the last 24 hours, hows she holding up?
She's just happy that she gets to stay with people who are nice to her.
though she's disappointed that she won't get to be with reinhold all the time

>How will learning magic work in the VN will certain parts be limited to a certain route?
It'll likely be the same spell progression.

>>37584525
>Is Reyna interested in anyone?
He's too busy chasing after Elena and Rana to worry about romance.

> Is anyone interested in him? Besides Raquel of course.
Several of the maids would love to push him down. Racquel, too.

>can there be a short sidestory like the lil'nico and rein one a couple threads ago?
Depends on how things go.


And now it is time for me to sleep.
And make more charts because they sync up with my OCD wonderfully.
Thanks for playing!

The sick fuck.

Did I miss something?
What is this?
>>
>>37584642
There was some player discussion a few threads back. 1 or 2
>>
>>37584650
So if it's player discussion, why is anon asking Arch for it? Isn't that something the players should provide for themselves?
>>
>>37584639
Lolicon and incest. A man after my own heart. Why is he not the protagonist again?
>>
>>37584661
Pssst...
Reyasarima is Archelon spelled backwards
>>
>>37584577
>where Reinhold is a grill?

That... that... that will work out very well. Yeah. I'm sure.
>>
>>37584906
Worked for Citrine!
>>
>>37584989
Does that mean grill Reinhold is the that ends up marrying Marius?
