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.

One of many issues that you're forced to deal with 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.

After heading to Sir Gregory's place to pick up Luciana and the others, you're currently on the way back to the castle.


>Congratulations, Reinhold is now a magnificent WYVERN!
>Among lesser dragons, Wyverns are ranked third in intelligence, right behind Leviathans.
>Though they can't be domesticated outright, it is still possible to tame them if they're raised from an egg.
>The Princess considers you to be one of her dearest friends!
>But while Wyverns inspire awe in the humans who watch them take flight, they still don't count as people.

>"Yes, this might be the perfect opportunity!" Luciana says, crossing her arms.
>"For what?" Marianne asks.
>"You'll find out soon enough," she giggles. "Isn't that right, Reinhold?" she winks at you.


"Yeah, I guess," you shrug. "Want to head to the carriage now?"
"Very well," Luciana replies. "Oh, but what about the others?"
"I'll wait by the stairs for them to come back down," Reya says.

As Reya waits by the stairs, you, the two Princesses and Takamaru head towards the door.

"Aww, you're leaving already?" Ariane asks while pouting in the same way that her niece does.
"Yeah, sorry," you reply. "But I guess we could always come back later if you wanted..."
"Ooh, and I can make extra food!" she giggles. "It's been -so- long since Marianne's been over for dinner, too..."
"Er..." Marianne glances at you.

arch, thank you for running this. truly thank you. i came in at about thread 75 and actively participated for about 100 threads before i unfortunately had to attend to real life, and never really got caught back up. i don't agree with how everything turned out in the thread, we've had more than our share of reintardation, and in all honesty i truly think that luci was probably the worst match for rein and sticking to a forever alone route would have been the most in character thing for rein to do (NOTE: i'm not trying to start a best/worst girl arguement, i like luci, i just think she was a bad match for rein), however despite everything i didn't like, those were our choices, you have always been one of the greatest writers i have ever had the pleasure of never meeting. your world is amazing and your characters, even the ones i hate, feel alive and real. if you ever decide to type up all the details of your world in a pdf for the love of whatever god you pray to please upload it, i know there are probably many more than me that would love it (and i could finally figure out what the deal with ring magic is). to my fellow anons, from the waifu wars to getting literally over 9000 posts in a night during the duel, i have both loved and hated you at times. i'm still somewhat disappointed you didn't pull off a toradora route swap, but every bit of it has been fun (except when i tried to eat 15lbs of turkey, still upset i quit after 12lbs). and now i have one final thing to say to both my brothers and the turtle.

>>38839828
Anonymity is strange. I feel like I know you and your story here pretty well, but you have no idea who any of us are.
>>
>>38839566
I feel that if the poll allowed for a ranking option or there was a 2nd best girl, you'd see Karel ranked higher. And it's far too easy to pass this sort of judgement without experiencing the individual routes and events. Relatively speaking, we barely spent any time with Karel or Rana when compared to all the other girls.
>>
>>38839850
More importantly, we didn't actually get any Karel Romance flags. Just onii-chan flags.
>>
>>38839845
You could always imagine us.

AND SO IT BEGINS
>>
>>38839769
It hurts now, man, but we'll treat her right when we get the chance. You know that.

>>38839777
All the girls are good girls. It was a difficult choice. If there's one thing we learnt from Marianne, it's that we had to make a decision one way or another.
>>
>>38839807
I sure as hell hope so, because thanks to that, I just can't look at Luciana the same anymore. Still like one of the previous posters said, still glad to have stuck it out till the end of all this
>>
>>38839874
>tfw we never made Marianne our sister
Oh well atleast she'll have to see us every time she wants to see her best friend.
>>
>>38839906
Oh totally, A choice was going to have to be made. But what led up to that choice detracted from it quite a bit I think.

Arch, I'm really happy you decided to run this weird little experiment for as long as you have. I probably won't be around for the end, but I'm happy you decided to see it to the end.

Thanks a bunch, Turtle.

Made a good story though, eh?

I wish it had been Mari, I know at that point their wasn't really any romantic interaction between the two of them but I love how well they go together.

>>38839912
Well look on the bright side when you VN comes out you won't have to play her route. I'm sure not going to.
>>
>>38839630

But to be fair, it was a really close war.

Thanks for running this quest for so long Arch. I've only been around since around thread 150, but reading up on the thread was something fun to look forward to at lunch when I was stationed in Germany and it's been something to look forward to reading in the mornings now that I'm back stateside.

It's going to be sad to see it end after all this time, but to all good things there must come an end.

Some of it seems more reasonable when you remember that there's hours between posts and a day or more between threads.

Also, nice quads.

Luciana's is pretty great too, don't forget.
>>
>>38840039
There can be miracles, Anon, when you believe.
>>
>>38839999
it'd have been a dick move if we were actually a single person, but really it was just a consequence of that kind of decision being made when it's really a series of group votes where the group membership varies each time. Though the waifu wars were intolerable.
>>
>>38840045
>Luciana's is pretty great too, don't forget.
They are both great and really pretty much all the girls have chemistry with Rein but I think he and Mari are perfect for each other.
>>
>>38840045
I'm pretty meh about the interaction between Luci and Rein honestly. I liked how Mari, Nico, and Sylvie interacted with him better then her. That's just my opinion though.
>>
>>38840092
The part where we both literally pushed Emilio to be with Karel was amazing.
>>
>>38840045
It's completely understandable when you take into account when and where the polls were taken.

I noticed early-morning crowd really liked Luci, but all the lurkers and archive trollers LOVED Marie.
>>
>>38840022
This is one of the things I think Arch did really well. I've played a lot of VNs and seen a good few of them there harem aniboobs. Mari is the 'main' girl, but a lot of times in shows and VNs, the 'main' girl is really boring in comparison to the other girls. But Mari gloriously subverts that and manages to be really interesting character.
>>
>>38840130
Some scenes were great (>>38840135), but there weren't all that many. Seems like something that can be fixed in post.

"C'mon," you say, nudging Marianne with your elbow. "it'll be fun."
"Really, I don't want to-"
"Marianne, pleeeeeeeease?" Luciana pulls on her arm. "Just think of it as a celebratory dinner!"
"We can easily have one of those back at the castle," Marianne grumbles.
"But not with Auntie Ariane's cooking..."

Puffing out her cheeks, Luciana crosses her arms and stares at Marianne. You start to wonder at first about why in the world Marianne would possibly turn down Ariane's cooking...

...but then you remember her ongoing feud with Sir Gregory.

And the fact that this is kind of his house that you're standing in right now.

>>
>>38840135
Truly a mastermind we were.

>>38840144
What if you like them both?
>>
>>38839889
True, but by the time we began spending time with her in earnest we were already with Luciana, her teasing personality had begun to rub off on us, and we viewed Karel as a little sister figure (especially given the discovery of the fact that we would have grown up with her had Adrien been responsible and Volker not gone and died).

We saw and still see Karel as the imouto we give headpats to. We don't really see her as a "woman" and partner whose habits and personality could rub off on us, if you get what I mean.

It's what happens when people take conventions from another format (VN) and use them in another without compensating (questing). Waifuing is only fun when you're the only player or the game is built for it, otherwise it turns into cockblock hell.

archelon, I was here from the first thread to now. Being a writefag who dreams of making it big one day. I can see how much time and effort you have put into this baby of yours. It shows and it is one of the more original and interesting settings I have run across in quite some time. You have even inspired another anon to upgrade himself into a QM like yourself just to run a quest in your universe. That is incredible and you should feel proud and more resolute in your dream of making that VN. You should NEVER EVER feel dismayed by what is said about you or you works. Learn from it if it helpful, ignore it if is not.

I can tell, you love what you do. You wouldn't even try it if you didn't. That is why that after this and FD, I am sure you'll come back to /tg/. We all think of you as a friend or even family, even if they won't admit it. or too tsundere either

You just go and do what needs to be done. we'll all be cheering you on.

I'll be honest that sounds amazing.

We'll have everyone together, with Marianne next to Gregory, Luciana next to Sylvie and Nicolette next to Monique.

Incredibly ironic.

But even that tells you something: we didn't find out for sure until the assassination/kidnapping attempt, which happened after we got Luciana out of Celestino's stupid idea and routelocked with her.

Honestly, I'm dying to see what a Karel route looks/would look like. All I know is what arch said: "A lot of sneaking around".

It's not really ironic. In fact it's pretty predictable. As soon as we're trying to hook up compatible people, we all work together in jolly cooperation trying to figure out if they're right for each other and if so how to smoothly move things along for them. When we're picking the waifu for OUR character, we'll fight over our own personal tastes.

"...ugh, FINE," Marianne groans. "Just... stop looking at me like that."
"Oh Marianne, you're the absolute -best-!" Luciana giggles as she hugs her best friend in the entire world.
"Wonderful, I'll make sure to make enough for you too," Ariane says with a warm smile. "And I bet that Bernard will be happy to have you stop by after so long..."
"Not funny, Mom..." Bernard mumbles.
"Alright, Reinhold..." Luciana takes you hand, "let's get out of here before Marianne changes her mind!"

Luciana proceeds to pretty much DRAG you out of the mansion and towards the carriage, meeting up with the others just as you get there. Once everyone's loaded in (and Takamaru takes his usual spot outside with the driver), you begin the journey back to the castle.

I had a dream where I was watching Reinhold and Luciana's wedding night from Reinhold's perspective.

Oh shit I just realized this is the last time I'm going to be able to ask this question and it is slightly important. Arch said Granache and Marconetti are named after wine grapes right? Anybody happen to know the actually name of the grape Marconetti is named after? I need to know because reasons.

"Umm..." Carina glances at Inaba. "Your new dress is pretty!"
"I know, right?" Elena chirps. "It's like she's even cuter than before!"
"I -always- cute," the bunnygirl says, pouting.
"You sure are," Andreas replies, doing his best to keep spirits up.
"Too bad she still won't wear shoes," Elena sighs. "Papa isn't gonna like that."
"Not like shoes."
"Yeah, yeah..."

Turning away from her little sister's antics, Luciana taps you on the shoulder.

"What's the plan when we get back to the castle?" Luciana asks.
"Hm?"
"I mean, are we going to go straight to Marianne's father, or did you want to spend some time with everyone else first?"

A giant group picture in a similar vein of >>38840830
with "Thanks for playing!".

Credits would then play, presumably being very short.

After that a cutscene would happen, where a still frame of Reinhold is sleeping in his bed back in the castle. The picture fades into a new one, zooming closer and off to the side. This repeats once or twice more, finally ending with the pommel of our sword in the frame.

The next shot would then fade into a zoomed in shot, even closer, absurdly close to the handle.

Quicky it fades into the next ones rapidly. The leather/wrapping would rip, and tear, and a single large,metallic eye opens, freed from the bindings.

A stock scream sound effect would play and fade to black.

The end.

You know you want to arch.

I want reinhold to reveal himself as actually being the masketta man the whole time and then snatching Luci and stealing her away forever. They'll lock themselves at the top of a 99 floor tower and seclude themselves from the rest of the world. The only person who knows where this tower is is Carina, and she has to train for years and years before she embarks on her own personal quest to scale the tower and defeat all 99 trials before having a final showdown with her sensei in the highest dojo of the land.

It ends with them foregoing swords and Carina barely pulling it out in the end (literally) by ripping reinhold's heart out of his chest . Then sweet sweet yuri action carinaxluci forever

or they have a deeply ingrained fear that just like their father, their sister's father, and their brother's father, they'll wind up just like every one of the "male role models" of their youth and end up abandoning the girl they got pregnant, so the idea of a girl that won't let them do that is appealing

"Straight to the King, I guess," you say. "We can hang out with the others after that."
"Very well," Luciana nods.
"Why exactly are we going to go back to bother my father again?" Marianne asks.
"Important things," she replies with a sly grin. "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

Way to be subtle, Luciana.

Everyone files out of the carriage practically the second it arrives at the castle, and you notice that Elena is MUCH more excited than usual.

"Where's Alberto?" the little Princess asks. "He's sposta be here, right?"
"Alberto!" Inaba joins in.
"Yes, but he might be busy," Luciana replies.

Day ends following each girl before they finally go to sleep.
Rana's tired from looking after the young nobles and crashes on the couch before Ariane throws a blanket over her
Sylvie sulks towards her room and finds her Mom and Dad waiting in the hallway, then the scene cuts to the three of them hugging it out
Karel walks Emilio to his room and he plants another kiss on her lips, which she returns with nobody looking
Nico picks Melanie up and princess carries her to into her room as the both laugh and plant kisses on each other.
We see a glimpse inside Marianne's room and see her pick up something heavy and shiny
There is no conclusion for the girl whose route we're on, in this case Luci. The final shot it a close up of Reinhold's sword, resting against the foot of his bed, bouncing against it, as the bed shunts and squeaks rhythmically back and forth. Eventually, the movements gain more momentum and the sword falls to the groundfade to black and roll credits

I invite everybody in this thread to create a new piece of fanart for this quest before the end of Arch's run.

"Why don't you come with us to see the King?" you ask. "He was actually going to send for you guys, and there's a decent enough chance that Alberto's with him right now."
"Ooh!" Elena bounces in the air. "Yeah, I'll go with you!"
"Me too!" Inaba says.
"I guess that means that all of us are..." Andreas sighs.

And sure enough, all nine of you end up marching straight to the King's office.

Somehow, the responsibility to knock on the door ends up falling to you... and naturally, Thierri is -quite- surprised to see this many people standing outside his door.

The names are written out longform because there's SO MANY CHARACTERS and I don't want to risk mixing things up if I resort to abbreviations.

I tried to use different names for the event variables at first, but the stupid thing wouldn't run when I did.
And I kind of have a visual guide to work from so I think the names themselves are descriptive enough.

But hey, it's not like I really have any idea what I'm doing.

It is one of the conventional methods that is used. Different things has different naming conventions so they are easier to seperate as soon as you see them. But it is dependent on the language and the person, so there is not really a global way of doing things.

"Uh..." Thierri blinks a few times. "Wow. You're ALL here. All of you."
"Sorry for this, Father," Marianne sighs.
"No, it's fine," he laughs. "I was actually going over some stuff with Alberto, and I'm sure that he'd be more than happy to see his adorable little sisters again."

And with that, he opens up the door to his office all the way and bids you to enter.

"Hey Alberto, guess who's here to see you!" Thierri calls out.
"Hm?" Alberto peeks his head through an inner door. "What's going on-"
"ALBERTO!" Elena shouts as she runs towards her eldest brother at top speed. "I missed you so much!"

The Crown Prince of Marconetti laughs as he plucks his sister from the air and gives her a big hug.

"I'm pretty sure that I missed you far more," Alberto laughs. "Have you been a good girl for everyone here?"
"Uh-huh!" Elena nods.
"Attagirl. And what about Luciana?"
"I've been on my best behavior," Luciana replies with a smirk.
"Not really," Marianne chimes in.

You -would- chime in with a retort if not for the fact that Marianne's telling the truth. You're pretty sure that the stuff she pulled late last night was probably under the category of "bad behavior."

"Alberto," Inaba says, raising her hand.
"Er... do I know you?" Alberto asks. "That's definitely a cute rabbit headband you have there..."

So Thierri -didn't- tell him about her.

Elena had better handle this one; it'd be a shame to steal the reveal from her. Maybe help her out with a yes-she's-serious nod when Alberto inevitably looks to people who aren't excitable little girls for confirmation.

While you could explain this right now, leaving it to someone else is much more fun. As such, you opt to keep quiet this time around.

"It's not a headband," Elena says as she walks over to Inaba, "they're her ears."
"Wha?" Alberto squints and adjusts his glasses.
"And you -do- know her, this is Inaba."
"Ina..." he stares at her. "Your RABBIT!? How in the world!?"
"It's 'cuz she's such a good girl," she replies, patting the bunnygirl on the back. "She beat up one of those monsters back at the lake and she even helped rescue Luciana!"
"You... you're kidding, right?"
"No," Luciana shakes her head. "This little girl right here is the human form of the rabbit that Father got for Elena. See?" she scratches the fuzzy bunny ears. "She's even got the ears!"
"And tail," Inaba says.
"And the tail," she laughs.

"Eheh..." Alberto places a palm to his forehead. "Eheheh... I think I need to sit down."
"I help," Inaba says.

While Alberto takes a breather on a nearby chair, Thierri speaks up.

"So I guess everyone's here..." the King laughs nervously.
"Apparently so," Marianne replies. "Did you have some reason for them being brought to the castle aside from Alberto seeing his siblings again?"
"Yes, actually," he sighs, "but that'll have to wait for about an hour or so, I have some other things to take care of first."
"Eh?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing bad," he says while brushing his hand through his daughter's hair.

"Actually..." Luciana takes your hand, "I had something that I wanted to speak about with you and by brother if at all possible..."
"Eh?" Thierri arches an eyebrow. "What kind of thing?"
"Something that I'd like to discuss in private, if at all possible," Luciana says. "With you, my brother, myself and Reinhold."

Thierri stands there scratching his beard for a few seconds before nodding his head.

"Alright, I'll be in the back room. Bring Reinhold and your brother whenever he's gotten over the shock of meeting your sister's adorable new friend," he laughs.

As her father retreats to the back room, Marianne looks far less than happy with this current turn of events.

"Is there some reason why -I- need to be excluded from this discussion?" Marianne asks.

A year and a half, and the rides nearly over.

Arch, Ive been around since thread one, but I'll be honest, interest dwindled around thread 15. I didn't think it would last this long nor be this good. Not many quests have the spark to keep going this long. I saw thread 240 and went on an quest to read every thread. I read on the bus, in my classes, I would stay up until 4 AM trying to read. Now while I'm here for the last thread, and I honestly must say I regret rushing through it all, because now after seeing this quest be born, I have to see it end. I think everybody here can tell that you put a lot of heart into this quest, and while Im not the first or the last to say so, it has been an honor browsing with you gentlemen.

And I hope to see you all for Ancellottan Slave Quest

"As a matter of fact, yes," Luciana replies while sticking her tohngue out at her friend.
"Care to explain, then?" Marianne asks, placing her hands on her hips. "You're not pr-"
"Of course not!" Luciana says, swinging her hands in the air as if batting away the very idea of such a thing. "You know me better than that!"
"I'd like to think so..." she replies, glaring at her fellow Princess.
"Anyways, this shouldn't be too long," she sighs. "I promise that I'll be right back."
"Ugh."

Paying Marianne no mind, Luciana fetches her brother and brings him to the back room where the King awaits.

"I can't come either?" Carina asks.
"Sorry," you reply. "But maybe you could keep Marianne company for me while I'm out?"
"Uh-huh, I can do that!"

With a parting ruffling of Carina's hair, you hurry back to join those who are waiting for you.

With a parting ruffling of Carina's hair, you hurry back to join those who are waiting for you.

Standing by the King's desk, Alberto seems more confused than anything... the combination of Inaba being Inaba being Inaba and Luciana's mystery request has him pretty obviously frazzled.

"Now that Reinhold's here," Alberto says, pointing to you as you close the door that links this part of the office to where the others are waiting, "mind telling me what this is about, Luciana?"
"I'm also kind of curious," Thierri joins in.
"Very well," Luciana replies.

After taking a deep breath, Luciana walks over to you and takes your hand.

"Yesterday evening," Luciana begins, "after I finished off what was left of Leopold Massenet..."

"Yes?" Alberto asks.
"I, well..." Luciana glances at you. "...I proposed to Reinhold."
"Really?" Thierri's eyes grow wide. "YOU proposed to HIM?"
"Yeah," you nod. "And I accepted."
"But even though the two of us have agreed to marry, I do recognize that it's necessary to run it by someone else first..."

Namely, these two.

"Well you won't get any complaints from me," Thierri laughs. "Congratulations, you two."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," you reply.
"Thanks!" Luciana giggles. "So that only leaves Alberto... as Father's representative, I'm sure that he'd be fine with your approving our engagement."
"Or with my rejecting it," Alberto says.

The light of the sun reflects off Alberto's glasses in a most threatening manner as he approaches you.

"So you want to marry my little sister?" Alberto says, glaring at you.

Or at least you -think- he's glaring at you. You can't exactly see his eyes through the aptly-named glare coming off his glasses.

"You're not just playing around, are you?" Alberto asks, adjusting his glasses so that the glare shines RIGHT into your eyes. "Because while my speciality is support as opposed to direct combat, I've still been personally trained by my father to be able to handle myself in a one-on-one fight."
"Alberto, what are you doing?" Luciana shouts.
"Well, Reinhold? Are you SERIOUS about wanting to marry Luciana? Because if you break her heart, I'm duty-bound to break -you-."

Celestino's like that. We gotta make it clear that Luciana isn't just his precious daughter anymore: she's OUR beloved fiancee now.

Not one to be intimidated, you hold your ground and look Alberto in his eyes.

Or rather, in his glasses. It's actually kind of painful.

"Yes, I am," you say.

And if you weren't, there's a LONG line of people who would beat the living hell out of you before Alberto got the chance to.

"........." the Prince stands still for a few seconds... and then slaps your shoulder.
"Wha?" you stare at him.
"Just checking!" Alberto laughs. "Oh man, it's been a long time since I had to make that speech... it really isn't me, but y'know, brotherly duties and all that."
"...so this was just for show?" Luciana asks. "Why would you put him through that?"
"Oh, I wasn't kidding," he shakes his head. "But Reinhold -invaded a country- to get you back, there's no way in hell that someone would do that on a lark."
"Eheh..." all the tension that you'd been feeling leaves your body at once.

Now you're the one who needs to sit down.

"So it's okay then?" Luciana asks, her eyes sparkling with hope. "You'll run things by Father?"
"To be honest, we were expecting this already," Alberto replies. "But yeah, I'll tell him that you two are now engaged."

With a beaming smile on her face, Luciana leaps towards her brother and hugs him as tightly as she possibly can.

"ThankyouthankyouTHANKYOU!"

Good man.

King Shdowrun was onto us.
>>
>>38844288
Lisette said that Rein was the first boy Luci was serious about so I guess it was pretty obvious.
>>
>>38844288
He did say after getting the letters that he couldn't deny him proposing to her.
>>
>>38844264

Once Luciana calms down, the two of you thank the King and Alberto yet again before rejoining the others.

"Your important business is over with?" the unamused Marianne asks.
"Yup," you nod.
"I suppose it's still classified information, though."
"Actually, it isn't," Luciana replies with a beaming smile.
"Oh?"
"Hey everyone!" she calls out to the entire room.

Needless to say, you're more than a little taken aback by this. But still, you completely understand why she's so eager to share the news qwith everyone.

"Guess who's getting MARRIED?" Luciana says while clinging to your arm.

I'd love to stay with this thread until the end, but I require sleep.

It's been a fun ride archelon. I've been on it on and off since around the start, and I've loved the whole thing.

I'll be eagerly awaiting the VN, so I can live it all again.

Goodnight arch, and goodnight PGQ.

Celestino also had contingency plans for the possibility that we'd proposed to her, that nobody proposed to eachother and that Rein was a former Kinsenese drug mule who'd pocketed the sale money and was masquerading as a guard in order to avoid the Yakuza.

Fucking hell. I didn't see the thread announcement until five minutes ago, and shot out of bed immediately even thought it's two. I gotta admit, this quest was some seriously low points, and the tendency for characters to sigh drove me up the bloody wall, and the updates quantity and length sucked balls, and readership sometimes made the most gaumless choices, and usual run time is really inconvenient, and I don't even know why I read this quest at all anymore. But I've spent more than 200 hours I by all rights should have spent sleeping with you chucklefucks, and I'll take it up the arse from a giant 10 foot nigger-cactus if I let myself miss the end. Gentlemen, it's been a sorta mediocre pleasure. Let's ride out the last one together.

Upon hearing Luciana's announcement, pretty much everyone in the room's jaws drop.

Except for Takamaru and Inaba, that is. Since they already knew.

"For... for real!?" Elena gasps.
"You... the two of you..." Marianne looks absolutely shocked.
"That's right!" Luciana giggles. "And -I- was the one to propose!"

She really likes to drive that point home, it seems.

"Wow, congratulations!" Reya laughs. "I was wondering when it'd happen!"
"You're gonna get married like Citrine and Marius?" Carina asks.
"That's right," you nod.
"Haha!" Elena pumps her fist in the air. "Inaba, this is GREAT!"
"Happy?" Inaba asks.
"Uh-huh!" she nods. "Now Reinhold's gonna be my brother and we can like do swordie stuff together and then Luciana'll have lots of babies like she said she was gonna and then I can do swordie stuff with them!"

It's almost like Elena's planned out for this even further than Luciana did.

"I suppose I should give my congratulations as well," Marianne shrugs. "While I -do- wish that you'd have let me know beforehand, I can't exactly be angry."
"Oh, I knew you'd understand!" Luciana giggles.
"So when's the wedding?" Andreas asks.
"Not for a long time coming," Luciana replies. "After this war is over and done with, and then there's likely to be at least a year after that..." she mumbles.
"Hey, there's no need to rush," you shrug. "I'm not going anywhere."
"Well pardon me for being anxious," she says, poking you on the forehead.

After everyone's done with their congratulations and tears of happiness and all that, you filter out of the King's office so that he can get back to work. Elena managed to find out exactly where Anges and the rest of your family currently is in the castle, so she grabs Andreas and Inaba and races off without even seeing if anyone else wanted to join them.

Hey Archelon, just wanted to express that this quest is great and I look forward to the VN. Also, don't fall into the trap of making the routes too samey. There needs to be more than some changes in the options, even things that are automatic should be different. Yes that means after route lock you're looking at separate trees. It's harder that way but it's worth it.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents. Just wanted to get that in before the conclusion.

"So what's our next order of business?" Marianne asks. "You're still the 'leader,' you know."
"I was thinking that I ought to give my family the good news," you reply.

The good news that Luciana will be joining the family!

"How responsible of you," Marianne says. "Very well, lead the way."

You do just that, tracing the path that Elena took when she ran off in pursuit of your grandmother. And before long, you find yourselves in the armory.

"Citrine and Gramma and Marius are in here?" Carina asks as you head inside.
"That's what we were told," Luciana replies. "I can't for the life of me say -why- they're in here, though..."
"Because swords, obviously," Marianne says, rolling her eyes.

"Ah, there you are," Agnes says as she sees you enter the armory. "Elena was just saying that you had something important that you wanted to tell us?"
"Heh, yeah," you nod.

You're pretty surprised (and grateful) that Elena didn't blab it to Agnes herself.

"Me and Luciana are engaged," you say, not even bothering to hide the big goofy smile on your face.
"Wow, really!?" Citrine gasps.

And as expected, she rushes over to you and gives you as tight as hug as she can while taking her condition into account.

"Congratulations, you two!" Citrine says.
"Thanks," you reply.
"You're not going to have the wedding before this baby's out of me, are you?" she asks. "I want to wear a nice dress, and pregnancy doesn't exactly agree with that if you know what I mean..."
"There's no need to concern yourself with that," Agnes laughs. "for Celestino's children, the betrothal period is a year at the very least."
"Great, so I have time to lose the baby weight too," Citrine says, nodding to herself.

"And I'll have time to think up something nice to paint for your wedding," Marius says.
"Well I'm definitely looking forward to whatever you make," you laugh.

You spend the next hour or so herding Elena and the other two little girls around as they admire the insane variety of swords that the castle armory has in store. At this point, it's pretty clear that Carina's developed the same interest in weaponry as Elena.

Inaba, on the other hand, is just having fun running around with the other two.

But sadly, your stomachs soon begin to growl and so that is the sign that it's time to eat. Taking Marianne's suggestion, your merry group heads to the castle courtyard for lunch...

"Whoa, that's quite the entourage you have there!" a voice calls out to you just as your reaching for the door to the courtyard.
"What can I say, Reinhold is -quite- popular," Luciana replies with a chuckle.

Ah. Nicolette.

"So what's going on with you guys?" Nicolette asks.

I require sleep, which will probably mean missing the end of PGQ.

In the mean time, archelon, thank you very much for running the quest. Reading through these threads has often been a high point of many of my weeks, and I loathe to imagine the time when I won't have PGQ to look forward to. Your character interactions and world building are both very well done and quite satisfying, and a nice change of pace. Despite the shitposting and arguments that have appeared in these threads, I and many others really do enjoy what you've done. I hope you understand that you have amused and caused joy for people, even if we've ruined your desire to run quests.

I've also been majorly-responsible-for / forced a lot of the stuff in these threads that you hate, but it's never been out of malice.

Keep being awesome.

"This and that," you say. "But we were just heading into the courtyard for lunch... want to join us?"
"Ehh..." Nicolette looks around. "alright, but I can't promise I'll be able to stick around for long."
"Even if it's only for a few minutes, that's good enough for me," you reply.
"Heh. Alright, you win."

Opening the door to the courtyard, you peek inside just to make sure it's safe before stepping aside and holding the door open for everyone else to enter first. Once you're all inside, you take your seats around the tables that are scattered throughout.

"So..." Nicolette says as she takes a seat opposite you, "what's got you in such a good mood?"
"Ehehe..." Luciana giggles. "Do you want to tell her, or should I?"
"I dunno," you reply. "Maybe y-"
"If neither of you wants to then -I- will," Marianne says with a sigh of exasperation.
"Very well," Luciana replies. "Go ahead."
"These two are going to be getting married," Marianne says.

Slowly, Nicolette's eyes and mouth grow wider and wider...

"HOLY SHIT FOR REAL!?" Nicolette shouts at the top of her lungs. "You're actually-"
"Yup," you nod.
"Ahahaha, oh man..." she laughs while placing a hand to her forehead. "...this is fuckin' GREAT news! Did you run it by Thierri first?"
"Just did," you reply.
"Both he and Alberto approved," Luciana says. "I actually proposed to him yesterday after we defeated that... person together, and..."
"Seriously!?"

Nicolette closes her eyes and shakes her head for several seconds.

"That is SO fuckin' romantic, I don't even..." Nicolette laughs. "You two are just..."

"They're just -what-?" Thierri asks as he and Alberto enter the courtyard.
"They-" Nicolette freezes. "Uh, I wasn't planning on skipping my shift or anything if that's what you were thinking..."
"No worries, you're fine," he laughs. "And it's actually more convenient for me that you're here, Nicolette."
"Hm?" she furrows her brow. "It is?"
"It is indeed," he nods. "You see, protocol requires me to have myself..." he places a hand to his chest, "...a member of the royal family..." he says as he takes Marianne's hand and brings her out into an open area, "...and a high-ranking member of the military like yourself."
"...huh...?" Nicolette just stares at him.
"Oh, and plenty of witnesses!" he laughs while stretching his arms out to either side. "That means all of you!"

You're really not sure what's going on here.

Getting knighted by best girl

Hey archelon, I want you to know that I was in a rather low point in my life when I found your quest. You have since literally (actually literally) changed my life and helped me through it. No matter what happens know that you will always have me as a most grateful fan in any endeavor you partake in. I will forever be grateful for what you've helped me with.

Thierri cracks all the knuckles on both of his hands, then holds one arm in the air.

"Come to my aid, oh beast of steel!" the King of Granache's voice echoes throughout the courtyard while Script fades into the air around him. "Place within my grip the axe of the worthy, and let us rend asunder all which stands before us!" With a wild grin on his face, he finishes his spell. "FRAGMENT! TOMAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWK!!!"

In almost the same manner as your bracelet's transformations, a long piece of metal materializes in Thierri's hand and quickly warps into the shape of a long, spiked halberd. But unlike the weapons that you and Nicolette have made with your respect Fragment spells, this one that Thierri just made... it looks genuinely impressive.

Maybe it's the difference in skill that comes from specializing in one specific thing at the expense of all others.

>>38845277
Pretty cool. Also kind of get why making one toppled little Marie over.
>>
>>38845306
Yeah, she's been too stubborn in this route to get knighted. The top royals have told her what she needs to do to get knighted and she just ignores them.

>>38845298
What for? Failing to use her lance to kill a flying lizard that's smaller than standard mount?

>>38845310
I'm pretty sure the presence of a Knight would be equivalent to the presence of a high ranking member of military.
>>
>>38845310
nothing says she can't knight herself if she's the only high ranking member of the military around if he says so, he's the motherfucking king for fucks sake, he knights whoever he wants and she goddamn deserves it by this point
>>
>>38845310
You mean like a princess bodyguard who is also a royal knight?
>>
>>38845302
I doubt she'd cry over it. Ultimately, she'd be happy for Rein. If anything, she'd be angry at herself for letting him overtake her, and then channel those frustrations into aggressive meido sex until she can find a more focused outlet.
>>
>>38845310
So? He knights us, then we're high ranking enough to knight her, problem solved.

"Oh my..." Luciana gasps. "Reinhold, this is-"
"Nicolette and Marianne, would you two mind standing at either side to me?" Thierri asks.
"Very well," Marianne nods.
"O- of course!" Nicolette stammers.
"Reinhold, please kneel before me."

It takes a moment to get used to the King's speaking so formally to you, but you soon do exactly as he says.

"Reinhold Eschenwald," he calls out, "for the admirable bravery and valor that you exhibited yesterday in the rescue of Princess Luciana Violetta di Marconetti, I, King Thierri Valentin Yves Granache, do hereby bestow upon you the title of Knight of this kingdom. May you continue to honor this great land for years to come."

Spinning the halberd so that the bladed end is on top, Thierri taps it on either of your shoulders.

"Now rise, Sir Reinhold!"

Heralded by the applause of your friends and family, you rise to your feet... and are immediately tackle-hugged by Luciana. After sharing a long kiss, you separate only to get hugged even tighter by Citrine this time.

This is followed by Agnes, Carina, Elena... soon enough, all of your friends are showering you with congratulations.

"So now you REALLY outrank me, huh," Nicolette laughs as she pats you on the shoulder. "Congrats, man."
"Thanks," you reply. "I know this was your dream, and-"
"Psh. It ain't like there's a limited number of knighting to be had, dumbass," she shakes her head. "I just gotta work my ass off even harder so you don't end up leaving me behind, that's all."
"I dunno, I'm really moving up in the world..." you laugh.
"Wait and see, man. Wait and see."

I can't believe PGQ has concluded...
I found this quest nearly a year ago, not really sure of what I'd find. I was looking for a long quest I could read during the empty hours that are part of my job and picked PGQ at random.
I have to admit, I was a little put off at first, I don't really into animu stylings and magical princess fantasy lands. I can't really tell you why I carried on reading after the first few posts, when there were other quests to choose from, just that I'm very glad that I did.
Arch, I'm as invested in these characters as I've ever been for anything. Your attention to detail has crafted an incredible setting that I'll be sad to leave, if only for a while. I'm not the sort of person who tends to care about romance stories or the like but the reason I care so much about this one is down to you and it's a testament to your skill.
Sure, I know PGQ is far from perfect but this whole thing has been one hell of a journey and you can be proud of the story you've told.
As for my fellow questers, I've mostly enjoyed the ride with you. Some of you are too stupid for words, some of you are just outright assholes, but most of you are totally cool and you've all helped make these threads what they are, rightly or wrongly.

I've said this at the end of every thread I could and every single time I've meant it. It's always with the utmost sincerity that I say;

Thanks for running, Arch.
>>
Well, folks... after one year and seven month, Princess Guard comes to a close. It's been quite the ride, with some highs and lows, but I don't regret starting this thing at all.

I was actually at a pretty awful point personally when I began writing this, and filling my mind with this story actually served to take my thoughts off of said unpleasantness... I'm happy that my writing was able to help some others in the same way.

From here, I have a game to write and another quest to get back to... but this time will always stay with me. After the epilogue thread, I'm sure that there'll be a hole in my life.

Seriously, thanks for playing. I truly mean that.


And now I guess I'll take a penultimate question time.

Godspeed, turtleman.
>>
>>38845460
Thanks for my favorite quest ever.
>>
>>38845460
Will you be taking a break after the Epilogue to rest, recuperate, and decide upon a schedule for FDQ?

Thanks for helping me through some tough times. And as always. Thanks for running Archelon.

All girls are best girl

>>38845460
Thanks for running arch. Was a great ride.

There will be people who play the VN who have not read the story that was told here, who will take wrong turns where we know not to, who will choose to go with Marianne thinking hers is the "True End", who won't rescue Carina or who will go through the whole story thinking that Monique is best bro and not Nicolette. But we will know.
Us who had raged, cried, laughed and had visions of hand holding other girls and dreamed we could go back to change the decisions that were made so as to give the others a chance in the spotlight. And we will remember these days with a smile. And we will not forget as long as the dream of the VN is realized. Don't let me down arch. Don't let US down. We all love you for what you've done and we all thank you.

To add upon this, will you include any of the fanart in the VN? Maybe in the credit sequence?
>>
>>38845460
Epilouge when?
>>
>>38845431
>So tell me, does Melanie really not know battlemaid techniques?
She knows enough to defend herself, but isn't really capable of much in battle beyond that.

>>38845468
>How long until that hole in your life makes you make a quest about the adventures of reinhold and luci's children?
never.

>>38845469
>epilogue when?
When I'm not sneezing every five seconds. Hopefully that'll be within the next few days.

>>38845475
>Will you make an announcement on /tg/ with a mini-quest for Elena (?) once the VN is done?
I dunno, probably not.

>>38845481
>Any estimated time you'd like to complete the VN buy?
I'd like it to be out by next year... but who knows.
the third anniversary of the quest's start would be nice though

>Any chance you could provide tips on how to QM and world build in general at some point?
I'm not sure how much help I'd be, but you can always ask me whatever on my ask.fm. That's what it's there for.

>How long to you plan to continue running FDQ for?
Until the story comes to an end, whenever that may be.

>Favorite piece of fanart?
I'm particularly fond of that semi-abstract one of the cast riding a turtle.

>Does Nico have any proper plans to accelerate her knighthooding?
She plans to GIT GUD

>>38845460
Thank you for an amazing first quest archelon. I'll never forget it.
>>
>>38845460
FD when?
>>
>>38845460
Cheers.

So in the end, did we really become " a brave and strong man of virtue and class"?

And did you have that final line planned for a while?
>>
>>38845513
>When I'm not sneezing every five seconds. Hopefully that'll be within the next few days.
Damn you Turtle you had to make us wait a little longer didn't you?

Oh well feel better ok.
>>
>>38845460
Thanks for running Arch.
>>
>>38845513
>I'm particularly fond of that semi-abstract one of the cast riding a turtle.
That means a lot to me, considering I only take the time to doodle once in a blue moon.
>>
>>38845485
>Is this the epilogue thread, or will we have one more thread in the future?
There will be an epilogue thread when I'm not feeling so shit.

>Will you do anything else pgq related in the future?
Yes.

>Will you advertise the plans for the game on /v/ or /vg/?
I'm EXTREMELY wary of /v/.

>Has life gotten better for turtle since you started the quest?
Better in some ways, worse in others. My every idle thought isn't filled with hatred though, so that's a definite plus.

>Did you ever consider just dropping the quest entirely? And if so, when?
The waifu wars were fucking ROUGH.

>Have you ever played an SMT or a Persona Game?
Yes. I've played and beaten Persona 1 and 4, and have gone through several of the main series.

>Why is Yoshikage Kira the best JoJo Villain?
dat style tho
Also he has the best Stand design.

>What is Reinhold's title?
Knight.

>Will spinelle confrontation be an option in the VN, or will you keep her as a faceless mystery?
Nothing's concrete, though I am leaning on the side of letting it be doable.

>What will I do with my evenings now that the quest is over?
Other things?

>Why is it raining? I'm inside and It's raining.
;0;

>Do you plan on consolidating all the posts and releasing the PGQ Book?
Eh, my prose is shit.

>What is your favourite fruit?
PEACHES.
no jokes, I seriously love those things. one of my favorite parts of summer.

>Why are you the best thing in this dark world?
I am not a best thing, or even a good thing.

>>38845489
>Will you be taking a break after the Epilogue to rest, recuperate, and decide upon a schedule for FDQ?
Without a doubt.

>Thanks for helping me through some tough times. And as always. Thanks for running Archelon.
And thank you for playing.

>>38845510
>To add upon this, will you include any of the fanart in the VN? Maybe in the credit sequence?
There are rights things to deal with in such a thing, I'd think. I'd need permission from the original artists.

Well, this was something. How many of us that were there on the first thread are here at the end?

>>38845551
Will Reinhold ever get a flashy knight nickname?

How would you feel if I commissioned gangbang porn of PGQ?
>>
>>38845525
>FD when?
Sometime in the near future.

>>38845532
>So in the end, did we really become " a brave and strong man of virtue and class"?
Aye.

>And did you have that final line planned for a while?
In all truth, it came to me as I was writing the second-last post. And it just seemed like the perfect way to end it.

>>38845555
>How do I git dem writan gains?
Practice.


And now, it is time for me to sleep. With any luck, I'll be back in fighting shape when I wake up.

Thanks for playing!

Will the epilogue be written in the first or third person?

>I'd like it to be out by next year... but who knows.

That's... a very long time.
>>
So Reinhold now has a last name and a title. All he needs now is a middle name. Any suggestions?
>>
>>38845563
No the quest is over.
>>
>>38845563
He just has to earn a title in Marconetti.

Then he can go on a quest to earn a noble title in every country in the world.
>>
>>38845567
Thanks again Arch, I really enjoyed the ride.

Well gentlemen it was a very long night and the turtle has left for the night. This is where I take my leave, I hope to see you all in the epilogue. Goodnight and Godspeed.

>>38845612
Eschenwald-Marconetti is a horrible surname.
We at least want our kids to be able to spell the damned thing before they're teenagers.
>>
>>38845621
We can just put Eschenwald as our middle name. No sense wasting it.
>>
>>38845603
Didn't it already get purged? Mostly of pdfs.
>>
>>38845578
Won't his name just be Reinhold Eschenwald di Marconetti when he marries Luci?
>>
>>38845551
So no dinner at Greg's Arch?

Thanks for all the threads.

Probably just Reinhold di Marconetti.

>>38845667
We all know that Luci wears the pants in the relationship but I refuse to believe that even she could convince Rein to drop the Eschenwald name.
>>
>>38845684
There's probably protocol for these things.

I STOPPED HER AND SAID I THINK YOU'RE TRYN'A GET OUT OF IT.

I hope Wrenloft rolls one more time.

So we can all yell at him, and then everything freezeframes while a laugh track plays followed by credits rolling.
>>
>>38845738
I wouldn't mind a minor character being called Wrenloft in the VN. Probably some back alley dice gambler in Cateno or something, while the entire town burns down around him.
>>
>>38845738
Holy hell I forgot wrenloft was a thing.
>>
>>38845691
traditionally in the nobility people often tended to acquire more names. heraldry worked similarly; the full formal coat of arms for someone could get pretty complex
>>
>>38845755
>Look, three twenties!
>Those are six-sided dice.
>Uh, OH FUCK A LEVIATHAN!
>Wha-

Wrenloft then serenely skedaddled away, as the town burned around him.
>>
>>38845772
Coats of Arms are, generally speaking, a complete fucking mess.
>>
Nicolette best girl

That's not how you spell Mari

did we ever return that book about investing?
>>
>>38845924
lolwhocares
>>
>>38845924
Did we ever read it?
We may have married royalty and not have land to build an estate but we need to learn how to money or maybe just let Luci do it.
>>
Damnit arch, the days not finished, we still have dinner at Ariane's with Marianne. Was looking forward to that.
>>
>>38845953
The man is sick. Let him rest.
>>
>>38845988
He could have rested and then continued when he felt better again. There was no reason that the quest had to end today.
>>
>>38845936
We don't really NEED to do anything, we're made for life.
>>
>>38845996
>There was no reason that the quest had to end today.
Unless he is sick of this quest.

We don't want to become an improvised noble do we?
