Currently, you are on the way back to your old home, the Sturmfuhrer Estate. You've actually never been back here ever since you were forced to flee in the face of Karla's attack. There were a lot of painful memories associated with this place.

But, you've got to face your demons (heh) sometime. You might as well get it over with.

"So Cap," Sam asks, looking blankly at the green fields the truck you're in is driving past. "We're going back to your fancy family estate, right? Well, what's it like? Or guess, what WAS it like?"

>It was nothing special, really.

No. No it was not. It is a persistent hoax. The photo is a shoop of a line of other tanks in a parade. It started with a bored modeller who had too many spare parts of KV-1s, KV-2s, BT-5s and BM-13s, and spread because people don't do their bloody research. Here's the original kitbash.

"It was amazing." You grin, recalling long distant happy times. "You really should've seen it in it's prime! Green fields as far as the eye can see, with this massive, ancient castle sitting right in the middle, overlooking the whole thing. Back in ancient times, it used to be a Valkrur fortress, or at least that's what everybody says, and it used to be the lynchpin of Northern Gallia's defense, until Ghirlandio was built."

"Sounds amazing." Sam nods.

"Yeah... but I'm not sure how much is left standing." You sigh. "Last I saw, the castle was getting wrecked pretty good by the Imps. I'd be surprised if any of it was left standing."

"Well... here's hoping, right?" Sam smiles. "I always did kinda want to live in a castle."

"Really, now?"

"Ah, um, forget I said that, Cap!" Sam shakes her head and turns away. "Just thinking out loud, that's all!"

You shrug and return your gaze to the green fields. These past two years, it looks like the dirt torn up by the tank treads and truck tires have been covered up by freshly grown grass and flowers, giving the whole place an eerie beauty. And in the distance, you can finally see the outline of the family castle. It's... a bit different from what you remember. The walls have crumbled, with numerous holes where tanks and other siege weapons had punched through, and quite a number of the towers and turrets that dominated the skyline had collapsed or toppled over. You don't even want to know what the interior looked like.

However, even stranger is when you see a group of people walking up the road leading to the castle.

"Hey, slow it down a bit." You tell the driver. He nods and the truck slows to keep pace with the little knot of people. Getting a closer look, you see it's about five people, all them Darcsens.

"Excuse me," You say, standing up from the truck. "May I ask you what you're doing here?"

The Darcsens stop and glance at each other nervously. You see them whispering frantically before one of them is pushed to the forefront as he "volunteers" to speak.

"Ah... well..." He mumbles. "Y-you don't happen to be the owner of this land, are you?"

"And what if I am?" You narrow your eyes.

"We've umm... been kinda living in that castle there for the past few months."

"Cap, did you know anything about this?" Sam asks.

"I did not." You frown and look back at the Darcsens. "Which one of you is in charge, here?"

"T-that would be the Matron, sir!" The Darcsen kid says very quickly. "She's up at the c-castle right now!"

"Okay, we'll leave you alone... for now." You say. "But if I find anything fish about this, well, I got two tanks right behind me with very bored drivers."

The Darcsens turn to see Fenrir and Kilroy coming up the road as well, and they visibly pale.

"We're all telling the truth! Honest!"

>Leave them be.
>You know what, let's give them a ride back.

>>You know what, let's give them a ride back.

Let it be said Jager is a friend of Darcsens.

>>25726750
>>You know what, let's give them a ride back.

Give em a ride back.

Wait, doesn't Sam have a Perk that basically makes her as non-noble as it gets? I am now imagining a scenario where Sam ends up with Jager and their the roles basically reverse as Sam drops spaghetti all over the formal proceedings and Jager has to keep filling her in on the proper etiquette.

>>25726750

>>25726879
We have tanks.

I'm not exactly seeing a scenario where we DON'T get our castle one way or another.

>>25726879
That'd be rather rude of her, it is our family castle, you just don't get to steal a man's castle, especially if the man has a merc company.

But honestly, they probably just want somewhere warm and safe to stay, and I don't think we have a problem with that as long as they didn't raid our wine cellar too much.

>>25726879
If they try that, not only are we all quite heavily armed, but they've probably heard of JAGER STURMFUHRER, THE KNIGHT PUNCHER

the choice shouldn't be difficult

>>25726879
We have tanks, and we're nobility, and they're Darcsens. We basically have every edge in both negotiations and legal proceedings.

>>25726879
Not likely, as the one we talked to just asked if WE own it.
Meaning they know full well that they're squatters, they just hope that we won't shoot them for being all over our property.

Me, I'm in favor of letting them hang around as long as they don't actually break anything. It's not as if Jäger is really anti-darcsen, anyway.

>>25726879
Then we would do that thing nobility does when their rights come into question. Read our pedigree off going five generations back.

And if that doesn't work, well...
>>25726910
>>25726914
tanks.

>>25726951
A significant portion of our unit is Darcsen. Jager's not anti-darcsen at all

>>25726951
I'm of the same opinion. These people were probably looking for a place to stay out of the rain. We weren't using it, and as long as they didn't completely wreck the place (more so than already) they can stay for now.

>>25726980
tell that to the assholes who are thinking about using tanks on them.

I wonder if there is an abandoned town nearby so they can help rebuild it and bring in some revenue to the area?

>>25727014
I think that was all mostly hypothetical and only if they tried claiming our shit as their own.

>>25727014
I think that's only if they decide to be assholes about it.

If anyone, Darcsen or not, decided that this castle was theirs and not ours now we'd have objections.

>>25726951
I'm of the opinion that if they are friendly, and willing to help rebuild the place, they can stay, as long as they respect the fact that its our home and they are guests

>>25727014
only if they start acting like gypsies and claiming they now own the land is what they are saying.

>>25726750
"Hey, it's a long walk back to the castle. We can give you a lift, if you want." You say.

The Darcsens then look at each other nervously again. You thought you were just being polite to offer them a ride, but these kids were treating it like you were trying to lure them in so you could have your way with them, or something. Was the concept of charity really that alien to Darcsens?

You turn back to face Heloise and Tarin, jerking a thumb back at the Darcsens. "No offense, but are you people always like that?"

"It's not like people have been going out of their way to be nice to us." Tarin shrugs.

"Plus, you DO have kind of a scary air about you..." Heloise adds.

"Gee, thanks." You sigh before turning back to the Darcsens. "Just get in the damn truck already! You will accept my offer and you will ENJOY it!"

A few minutes later, you're almost at the castle with five more passengers.

>Do you want to ask them anything?

>>25727046
No, just go meet this "Matron" lady.

>>25727046

>>25727046
"How long have you been on my lands?

"For that matter you didn't break or steal anything did you? Well... what's left to break and steal that is."

>>25727046
>Are you ENJOYING my offer?
Uh, I mean
>Tell me about this Matron. Why did they move into this particular castle?

>>25727046
Ask them who they are and where they came from.

Ask them where we can meet this matron person.

"So, where you kids from?" You ask.

"Here and there." One of the Darcsens shrugs. "Most of us were from the South, and we all kinda migrated up here when the GRA started trying to purge us."

"And how long have you been taking shelter on my land?"

"The past few months. It was the Matron who led us here, really."

"And who exactly is this Matron?" You ask.

"Well, she just kinda showed up, gathered all of us together, and led us here." The Darcsen kid shrugs. "She knew the castle had been abandoned for a couple of years, and reasoned it would be a good place to stay until this whole civil war thing blew over, and in the worst case scenario, we could rebuild it and use it for ourselves."

"Sounds like she thinks she owns the place already." You frown.

"Oh no, she' perfectly aware we're intruding on this land, but I guess you should still talk to her about it."

At this point, you've finally reached the castle proper, and you're rather amazed. There has to be hundreds of Darcsen refugees gathered here... and they've actually done a good job fixing the place. Sure, the castle was still mostly ruined, but the seemed to have partially rebuilt several of the destroyed areas, such as the main keep and the housing areas, as well as restoring basic infrastructure and utilities. Truly, Darcsens were a pretty damn resourceful people.

"Jager? Is that you, boy?"

That voice, could it be...?

"Jager! About damn time you showed your damn face around here!" Kincaid, your old family groundskeeper and huntsman, strides up to, a big smile on his face. "How long ago was it, a year? Two? I thought you were dead until the newspapers started coming in!"

"Kincaid? Your old ass is still alive?!"

"What, you thought a few hundred Imps could kill me? No, it's gonna be old age and a bad diet that'll do me in!" Kincaid laughs. "And I see you brought company, as well."

"Yeah, it's sort of a long story. Hey, what's the deal with all these refugees?"

"Ah, well," Kincaid scratches his head. "I was just managing the lands here, waiting for your sorry ass to come back to claim it. Seriously, you don't visit or even write? Some Sturmfuhrer you are! Anyways, they started coming in a few months ago. Sprinkled in mostly, until the Matron leads this hug pack of them in. Well, what was I going to do? Turn them away?"

"No, it's fine." You grin. "So, I've been hearing a lot about this Matron. When can we meet her?"

"I'll show you right now."

Honestly, I'd be pretty pissed.

>>25727756

"Lead the way." You say.

"This way." Kincaid leads you on. You and Sam both follow close behind, Sam clutching Wojtek close to her chest.

To her credit, the Matron didn't seem to have taken up shop inside the keep, but had in fact set up in a tent inside the main courtyard. At least you didn't have to deal with the awkwardness of having to deal with a stranger inside your own home.

"So... do you have any idea who this Matron is?" You ask.

"Ah well, I didn't want to give it away in front of everybody else, seeing as she wanted to keep it secret." Kincaid sighs. "It's your grandmother."

"Oh... OH." You blink. "She.... she's back?"

"Oh yes, and she's not exactly happy with how you've been running things here."

"Ummm, am I missing something here?" Sam frowns. "Cap, I thought you said your entire family was killed.

"Well, that was half true." You sigh. "Grandma... didn't quite agree with the rest of the family over some key issues and was kind of exiled as a result, if 'a free sabbatical to Emmeria' is exile."

"And she's still her lovely old self, too." Kincaid adds in.

"Wonderful."

"At least you're still her favorite grandson."

"I'm her ONLY grandson!"

"And I see you haven't changed a bit." You hear an elderly, but powerful voice behind you.

"Um... hi, Grandma, it's been a long time."

"All these years, and that's all you have to say to me?" Grandma Sturmfuhrer shakes her head. "Come here."

She then gives you a big bear hug, and she is still as absurdly strong as you remember.

"My gods, Jager, you don't visit, you don't write, it's like you forgot I exist!" Grandma pouts.

"It's a bad habit of his." Kincaid adds.

"And who is this young lady?" Grandma's eyes turn to Sam.

"Samantha Wellings, Captain Sturmfuhrer's second in command." Sam says, stepping forward. "But you can just call me Sam."

"Hmmm, well mannered, straight to the point... you could learn a lot from her, Jager."

You sigh.

>>25728117
"Now, I suppose there's a lot we have to catch up with."

After several hours of story telling, a bit of arguing, and raucous bouts of laughter, you finally get the gist of what your estranged grandmother had been up to. Apparently, she had heard of the Imperial invasion of Gallia, and concerned about the family, tried to make arrangements to return. She arrived at Anthold roughly six months ago, when the civil war was in full swing. One thing led to another, and she suddenly found herself leading a rather large group of Darcsen refugees out of the South, and more than few GRA soldiers probably went deaf from her withering tirades. She then returned to find the castle in ruins, and assuming the worst, decided to turn the place into a makshift refugee camp.

"And as you can see, we've been doing quite well here." She adds in. "But... the family laws dictate that these are you lands now, which means the choice is up to you."

Can you really say no to grandma? Really that's one of, if not the only, reason they get to stay.

>>25728194
>Kick them ou-no I'm just kidding. Let the Darcsens stay.
As if we could argue with Grandma Sturmfuhrer.
I mean, she's a Sturmfurhrer and an old lady! Impossible to argue with.

If anyone complains about the Darcsen, we hired them to rebuild our castle. Cheap labor, you know. Now get off my property because, unlike them, you're actually trespassing.

We'll leave the management and organization and all that to Granny, though.

>ckoula Villa
Yes captcha, a villa would be pretty cool if the castle is too structurally unsound to be properly repaired.

>>25728379

Yeah, under LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENTS.

Last time I checked we're not a legitimate government.

>>25728336
Most of Gallia's military is technically militia unless called upon in times of war (iirc they all have to go through basic)

This'd be no different...plus, I'm guessing that having a militia, especially in the midst of a civil war would be a noble's prerogative.
>>25728407
>If anyone complains about the Darcsen
Or just tell them to fuck themselves because the Darcsen are people too, and we're nobility

>>25728413
Except Gallia is a Constitutional monarchy with heavy noble leanings and we're a goddamn noble.

>>25728413
At least in the US most militia's are not under the Governments control

>>25728431

Then you'll have to show me where in Gallia's constitution that nobles are allowed to maintain their own private armies.

>>25728194
"Well, I don't really have much reason to kick them out." You shrug. "By all accounts, they're actually fixing the place up, which is a huge plus."

"Hey, not to intrude." Sam frowns. "But what did our Grandma get exiled for, anyways?"

"Ah, well, do you notice how this castle was built as a military stronghold?"

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"For the past few generations, Sturmfuhrer influence in this area has waned. Sure, the construction of Ghirlandio certainly put a check on our power, but a series of fools and cowards squandered our family's military might. It was actually part of the reason why Jager's parents and grandfather were trying to broker a marriage with the Hohenzollerns, in an attempt to regain some of that power. A stupid idea, in my opinion. Power is meaningless if you have to rely on others to gain it. And look what happened."

"Yes, Grandma, you were right all along." You say glumly. "So what's the state of the castle?"

"Shambles, mostly." Grandma shrugs. "We've managed to repair the main keep and some of he outlying buildings, but that's it.

"You know, maybe Qyburn can help on that front." Sam suggests. "Besides, he looks to be getting at that age where he really shouldn't be traveling so much anyways. How about he gets a more permanent lab?"

"That's a good idea." You nod.

"Well, I have some more camp affairs to manage." Grandma waves you off. "Go do what you need to do."

>Go survey your lands. See if there are any more surprises.

No reason not to. They are also useful in that we can have them help build rebuild the joint and it isn't like jager cares who they are.

That was kind of implied, with the "you're trespassing on my property" part.
It's just that pro-darcsen is a rather... Unpopular viewpoint in VC. Both because they are NotJews during NotWW2, and because they are also seen as bringers of bad luck, cause of all evil and so on.

The militia can't be deployed in internal disputes either.

Also, they're an official government controlled organization.

>>25728473

>and aNexcla

>>25728473
There is such a thing called the "Militia Movement" in the US. Groups of civilians train themselves paramilitary style, often because they don't trust the government. There has been at least one case of armed battles between them and the authorities since WWII. In recent years, the press they have gotten has died down, but 20-30 years ago they were much more on the forefront of the mind.

Or he could be referring to the National Guard, which is nominally under state, not federal control. Considering we're a noble of a once-powerful (and seemingly quite loyal) family, I don't think the government'd stop us from forming a militia.
>>25728463
>Go survey your lands. See if there are any more surprises.

If anything, I think the Gallian government would be relieved that our territory wouldn't require much aid from the army in the event of an invasion/rebellion

Somehow a photo album full of embarrassing pictures of Jager and Karla must have survived. Obtained blackmail?

>>25728581
Some of them, yeah.

Personally, I don't think the idea of a local militia is a bad one. In the case of civil emergency you have a group that is more prepared than most of the rest of the civilians, which could do a lot of good.

>>25728565

"KARLA, STOP!"

"No Jager, its too late to stop my evil pl..."

"THATS NOT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT KARLA! I just came here to say, I'm breaking up with you."

"Wha.... you... uhh.... what? I thought that was implied when I blew up your castle and killed your family."

"Oh, was it? I missed the memo. But now its official in any case. So, you were saying?"

>>25728598
>implying Sam didn't have a little freudian slip

>>25728608

Shockingly enough, state governments happen to be governments.

>>25728581
Yup. They're the same kind of idiots as people who open carry on a daily basis. Yo dumbass, if the guy who's gonna pull an armed robbery can see you're packing, he's gonna slot your dumb ass first. Keep it hidden, and you can analyze the situation and determine if your intervention will have better results than doing nothing.

>>25728618
If you remember from the beginning of the quest, the Nobles often have household troops, so the point is moot.

>>25728636
when the original poster said "Government control" I took it to mean Federal control. I don't disagree that state governments are governments

Also, if you look at the first thread, it seems that we had household troops/retainers. This really wouldn't be all that different

>>25728625
She had to attack us. Prince maxadick or somebody in the imperial high command told her to do it.

>>25728625
I like Sam but Karla isn't the evil speech type

>>25728598
Nah, I like it. Everyone else has been assuming her and Jager are dating so much that she even started to.

so were going for sam now? I can go with that

>>25728708
>Everyone else has been assuming her and Jager are dating
Since when?

>>25728649
Not to mention, you know, being a mercenary company.
We are, by definition, a private army that is not tied to any specific government, so why care if the government "allows" us to lead armed men (and women)?

>>25728667
I think "told her to do it" is a bit of an understatement. Remember, Belka was basically annexed by the Empire, who are MUCH larger. If they decided to depose Belka's current internal government, the best the Belkans could hope to do is take a bunch of Imperials with them. She was under massive durress due to her people (who, as a member of the royal family, she is responsible for every last one of) being implied hostages against her loyalty and obedience. Pretty rotten situation to find yourself in. Being nobility ain't all parties and abusing the peasantry.

I always saw their relationship as more professional than romantic. Close friends and colleagues, yes. Lovers, no.

>>25728717
She appears to have become the major non-Karla option with certain recent events one with her all but confessing to him directly.

>>25728744
let me guess....you want karla?

>>25728732
She did say in the very first thread that she was choosing between love and loyalty, and loyalty won.

>>25728744

Same. Besides she has yet to fight us in rapier duel.

>>25728744
I'm not sure that Sam sees it that way anymore. We temporarily shot down that option because Jager's still pretty tore up about his fiancee murdering his family and burning his lands, but who knows?

>>25728719
Tarin did, Matt did, Sam implied at the boardwalk that it happens all the time, and Sam's dad at least thinks something is going on. To be honest, there is a lot about how Jager acts around her that could easily be seen as something more. Our first few interactions with her had us jokingly referring to her as the love of our life and we tricked her into thinking she slept with us. Also we go out of the way to spend time with her so much and shower her in affection and hugs.

>>25728759

If you got the choice to protect your family and be forced to attack your lovers household, what would you chose.

>>25728754

Yeah. Right now I see Jager knowing about Samantha liking him but really just wanting to get Karla out of the way so he can move on. I don't really think he would be adverse to the idea but at the same time he wants to get a clear head. My thoughts at least.

>>25728755
No, I don't. I think Sam is a lot better, both in and out of character.
But their relationship has never given me the impression that they're that close.
She may or may not want that, but they're not there yet, and Jager still needs closure with Karla before he can move on.

>>We still got horses around here, right?

>>25728791
What I would choose is irrelevant (and I don't have a lover, so I can't say).
What IS relevant is that Karla chose her Emperor over her lover, and that's how this whole mess got started.
