You are Reinhold, 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.

After learning a bit about your mentor Volker, wandering around the castle for a while and attempting to console a crying little girl, your and the others headed to your suite to wait for the servants to bring you your dinner.


>Congratuations, you are now a mangy DOG!
>While dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...
>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!
>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.

>"I asked for spaghetti, so it shouldn't take them too long..." Luciana says. "So, does anyone have any ideas as to what we should do while we wait?"

Hmm... you would suggest a card game or something similar, but there doesn't seem to be anything of that sort in this room. While trying to think of an activity to suggest, your mind drifts to something that Luciana mentioned earlier.

"So... grimoires?" you say to Luciana.
"Eh!? Wh-" Luciana stammers.
"Oh, so you picked up on that?" Marianne says, a slight smile forming on her face.
"Um, I'm sure that Reinhold was just mistaken..."

"Looks like the cat's out of the bag, Luciana," Nicolette says, clearly enjoying this.
"Whatever, it's not like you're going to tell anyone..." Luciana mumbles, defeated. "...and I hope you'll keep this to yourself too, Karel."
"Er- I wouldn't dream of blabbing about anyone's secrets!" Karel stammers, waving his arms in front of himself for emphasis.
"Just making sure," she sighs. "So yeah, I collect grimoires. Been doing so ever since Aunt Ariane gave me my first one when I was a little girl, and my collection's been growing ever since then."

"Most of them were written by old crazy wizards and the like so most of the spells they hold end up as Mantra that I can't decipher, but even those have a lot of useful information about spell theory and philosophy and the inner workings of the universe..." Luciana explains. "...I know that Father would absolutely lose his mind if he found out about my collection, so PLEASE don't mention it to anyone."

>[2/2]

"Hey Sylvie, it looks like that's two things you have in common with Luciana now..." Nicolette says teasingly. "...you'd better step up your game though, you don't want your rival beating you in both of them!"
"Hm?" Karel says, turning to them. "Two things?"
"Yeah," she replies. "They're both total nerds about magic, and they're both TOTALLY into R-"

Nicolette's sentence is cut off by the sheer force of Sylvie punching her in the side, sending her flying off of the couch they were both sitting on, landing face-first onto the floor.

"M- Miss Nicolette, are you alright!?" Karel shouts as he rushes to help her up.
"Y- yeah, don't worry about it..." Nicolette replies with a painful laugh. "Just one of the hazards of having a best friend whose father is the God of Punching..."

After Karel helps her stand back up, Nicolette dusts herself off and sits back down next to her attacker.

"Oh my, Sylvie... I didn't know I had so much in common with you!" Luciana says, grinning slyly. "Feel free to come over to my room later, I'm sure that we'd have a lot to talk about..."

As Sylvie's face turns bright red while she starts to make an embarassed sqeaking sound, Marianne sighs and clears her throat.

"Alright, that's more than enough teasing," Marianne says in an exasperated tone. "Let's talk about something else. Karel, you seem to be about as far as it gets from accidentally stumbling on something embarassing..."
"Eh!? Me?" Karel replies.

Ask him for tips on dealing with Marconetti's nobles, he's got a different perspective than our royal, female companions.

What are the relationship between people we know and royalty, again?
I remember that Celestino is Gregory's brother-in-law. Is Sylie related to anyone in either royal family?
>>
>>28292757
She's like third in line for the throne. I'd imagine so.
>>
>>28292732
Just vote for the next princess! Marie!
>>
>>28292787
Elective succession? I can't remember a case where that has worked out well for everyone involved.
>>
>>28292757
Vincent is married to Thierri's first cousin if I remember correctly meaning Sylvie's the second cousin of Marriane
>>
>>28292805
Sylvie is the daughter of the king's sister I thought? Because aren't Sylvie and Marianne cousins? And after the King, the line of Succession goes to his Brother(Void), then to Marianne, then to Sylvie, doesn't it?
>>
>>28292757
Sylvie's mother is Thierri's first cousin.
Sir Gregory is another generation removed but also Thierri's cousin, and also Celestino's brother-in-law.
>>
I'm going to make a family tree in paint because now I'm just confused.
>>
>>28292827
Granache's line of succession:

1: Marianne
2: Raoul (absent)
3: Angelique (Sylvie's mother)
4: Sylvie
5-6: Sylvie's sisters
7: Gregory
8: Nicolette
9: Guillaume
10: Bernard
>>
>>28292801
It worked fine in the Holy Roman Empire for about half a millennium. It had some problems eventually, but so does everything.
>>
>>28292857
>Guillaume

You mean Arnaud? He's royalty but he works as a butler? What.

Who is Bernard?
>>
>>28292910
Nicolette's brothers.
>>
>>28292910
Guillaume and Bernard are Nico's brothers.
>>
Is it just me or is the power balance between the kings and the nobility seem heavily slanted in favor of the Kings in the countries we've been in?
>>
>>28292910
Nico's brothers.
>>
>>28292932
We've only really been around the royalty. And, Arnaud is a commoner.
>>
>>28292857
>8: Nicolette
>9: Guillaume
>10: Bernard
So cognatic? Thierri is liberal as fuck.
>>
>>28292932
We have yet to meet the majority of the nobility.
>>
>>28292932
It seems that way in Granache. In Marconetti, we don't really know.
>>
>>28292932
Yeah, I've been getting that feeling too can't quite place a finger on it at the moment though
>>
>>28292983
>>28292989
Marconetti seems to have a standing army rather than rely on Feudal Levees, which means that one of the traditional bastions of Noble power doesn't exist here. Also, Nation-States seem to at least kind of be a thing.
>>
I hope that some day Reinhold runs into a dude besides Monique that doesn't instantly love him.
>>
>>28292732
i can pretty much imagine Luciana singing "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by taylor swift only with altered lyrics.

"we are never ever ever going to be together!"
>>
>>28293031
Plenty of the guardsmen don't like us. Also, we are probably about to run into prick central.
>>
>>28293018
Perhaps the power balance is a result of many of the countries being founded around powerful entities like the sealed kings which would have eliminated the necessity to gain power through borrowing manpower from nobility in order to form and maintain such countries, leading to a tradition of much more centralized states unlike in feudalism in real life.
>>
>>28292932
>>28292983

I agree, but it's a mystery to me how they keep the nobles in line. They treat Reinhold like a peer (or we are extremely naive and presumptuous and people are too polite to correct us).

"I don't really think that I'm all that interesting..." Karel says bashfully.
"You mentioned that you've been training in swordsmanship for as long as you can remember, right?" you reply. "Why not talk about that?"
"Yes, that sounds like it would be interesting," Marianne joins in.
"Too bad Elena isn't here to listen on... this sounds like the kind of thing that she'd like," Nicolete sighs.
"Uh, alright," Karel says, sighing. "If you really want to hear about that, I guess..."

"So, um..." Karel begins. "My mother was always really into swords and that kind of thing, so she kind of pushed on me for as long as I can remember. She used all the money she earned as a waitress in my great-uncle's cafe to pay for the best tutors she could afford, and I spent most of my time training under them while she worked."

"So you're a swordsman solely because of your mother's wishes?" Melanie asks.
"Eheh... well, it was her idea at first but it's pretty much the only thing that I've ever wanted to do with my life too so I guess I've kind of internalized it?" Karel laughs.
"She must be proud to have such a dutiful kid," Nicolette remarks.
"He's pretty far from some people I know..." Sylvie says, glaring at her.

>[1/?]
>>
>>28293079
Wait, then why would knighthood or an equivalent milatiristic gentry rank emerge in this kind of a world (besides the usual RPG/JRPG excuse)?
>>
>>28293079
Good analysis. I'd also wager you'd start getting Charles XIV style distracting the nobles with pointless royal positions.
>>
>>28292932
In Granache's case they seem to have a line of long-lived very good kings.
In that case it makes sense for power to concentrate towards them over time and for most of their vassals to have great respect for them.
>>
>>28293079
That's exactly it.
>>
>>28293122

Probably because us humans can gain not-insignificant power. It's not that hard to conceptualise, especially if it's a title gained on merit instead of through blood.
>>
>>28293101
In Grananche the vast majority of the truly strong seem to be the kings supporters. Traditional feudal levees of the semi-competent would fair extremely poorly against people that capable, and worse for the nobility their levees would know it.

So the title "Knight" is not so much a social-political title as it is just another way to say "Hero" or "Champion"?

Very Arthurian. I dig it.
>>
>>28293122
Probably the same reason as the centralization: You get very powerful creatures outside of normal nobility who can be promoted based on merit.
>>
>>28293204
Yeah, the impression I'm getting from knighthood and promotion in general in this universe is one based on merit or deeds. Plus its always good to promote valuable service to support the kingdom through ennobling regardless of whether or not they can do without said support.
>>
>>28293129

>"Let's go gawk at his humble origins!"

This might be part of why I hate talking to people - I'm never sure how/if someone'll twist what I say into something horrible.
>>
>>28293325
>>28293293
We've already got food on the way.
>>
>>28293333
>>28293340

I should have been more clear, I meant eat there at some point during the trip.

>>28293337

I did not mean to imply that in any way. The girls are likely to be busy most of the time, I thought Reinhold and Karel could bond over food.
>>
Didn't we plan a whole day for going out with the girls?
>>
>>28293293
Dude, we're waiting on spaghetti.

Though, it seems like Sylvie already has hers.
>>
>>28293120

"So my mother paid the for the best tutors she could afford, mostly adventurers and the like," Karel says. "And as time went on and she took over the cafe when my great-uncle retired, we had more and more money to be able to afford to hire better tutors."

"Oh my, it sounds like she's put in almost as much work as you did in order for you to get this far..." Luciana says, genuinely impressed.
"She worked way harder than I did, actually," he laughs. "And even when my tutors weren't around, I trained in my free time... my mother was thinking about putting me into the dueling circuit when I got a little older, but then the King made the announcement for the tournament and that was way too good of a chance to pass up."

"Umm, if I'm not prying too much, was that at all similar to how you got started, Mr. Reinhold?" Karel asks.
"Me? Not really, no," you reply. "I don't have parents or anything like that, so I've been pretty much just working hard to get close to Volker's level of skill. When I was in the army, my CO said that I might as well enter the tournament so that's how I got here," you shrug.
"Oh," he says guiltily. "Sorry, I didn't know..."
"Don't worry about it, I'm not offended or anything. But yeah, my training wasn't to advance socially or anything, it was just something personal. And I still hae a long way to go from here."

"...my training wasn't to advance socially or anything..."

I'm a little puzzled by this, although it might be because I'm the cafe guy and the potentially negative implication behind my previous suggestion got me thinking.
>>
>>28293488
Word of advice: you are overthinking.

There's a time and place to be paranoid but now is not it.
>>
>>28293473
That may be exclusively Marie territory. I just can't imagine the others getting that same reaction, since we treat them more or less as equals. Or rather, they treat US as equals.

I can't imagine that would have gone over too well in alternate Luciana's BDSM route though...

"Chasing after the shadow of your deceased master... training day and night, regardless of any material gains... Mr. Reinhold, I do believe that's what they call 'a man's romance,'" Luciana says, swooning in an exaggerated manner.

Sylvie and Melanie begin blushing upon hearing Luciana's comment, and Nicolette simply rolls her eyes.

"Honestly, Luciana..." Marianne sighs. "Anyways, I'm sure that your mother is quite proud of you, Karel."
"Th- thanks, Princess Marianne!" Karel stammers.

>>
>>28293544
"A warrior's romance maybe. Weathering the storm of life for that which he feels is right by honor and virtue is a true man's romance, regardless of calling. A man's justice is his own."

Have you never had a friend that behaves like this constantly? I've had a couple. I admit it gets annoying sometimes (notably when it's a same-sex friend), but I've always enjoyed the sort of shameless flirting that results whenever it's one of my female friends.
>>
>>28293777
Wow. Celestino... Damn.
>>
>>28293537
That's pretty different to increasing your standing
Reinhold learned the sword to get put of the brothel because it was shit, all he ever wanted to do was join the army and sword things

Now if he had planned to use his sword skills to in the army and then become a knight that would be doing it to increases his social standing

Because really just joining the army doesn't mean shit for your social standing it just puts you one rung above spooge mopper at the whorehouse and probably not much further barring extenuating circumstances

Welcome to Medieval Nobility.

Spamming progeny is a good way of being able to secure a *lot* of alliances and assure diplomatic dominance.

Also good insurance because medicine was shit and most of them died.

"Excuse me?" a voice calls from the other side of the door. "Is this the Granache party? We've brought your dinner!"
"Ah, yes... just a minute!" Luciana says as she scurries towards the door and lets the servants in.

Assuming EXTRA FORMAL MODE due to Luciana's presence, the two butlers who've arrived with your food bow deeply before entering the room and then stop at the table.

"The princess specified that there are seven of you eating today, am I correct?" a butler says, rechecking to make sure that the number of plates that were prepared match the number of people in the room.
"Yes, that would be correct. Thank you," Luciana replies.

"Actually..." Karel begins, "...I actually need to get going now. Sorry that I can't have dinner with you, but I have some personal things to attend to," he says, bowing.
"Aww, what a shame..." Luciana pouts. "...well, I guess we'll see you later then?"
"Certainly," he replies, smiling.

After Karel leaves the room, one of the butlers turns to Luciana.

"...so that makes six, then? I'll just take one of the plates back, then..." he says.
"No, that's fine," Nicolette says. "I'll have Karel's share too."
"Eh- Are you sure?" he asks. "There's a lot of food here..."
"Oh, don't worry about Nicolette," Luciana laughs. "Her appetite is legendary."
"Er- if you say so, Princess..."

The butlers quickly set the places at the suite's dinner table as everyone gets up from the couches and move to where the food is. The aroma of the spaghetti is mouthatering, and it's all you can do to keep from simply devouring it before everyone else has theirs.

"Would you happen to need anything else, Princess?" a butler asks.
"No, that would be all," Luciana replies. "Thank you."

Bowing once more, the butlers quickly exit the room with their cart, closing the door behind them.

Smelling this delicious spaghetti that sits before only serves to remind you that you haven't eaten a thing since breakfast this morning.

And it's 7:30 PM now.

Making a concerted effort to keep from eating before some else has already begun to do so, you turn to Marianne and Luciana as you notice then starting to eat.

"I'm sorry for the scene of debauchery that you're about to witness..." you say half-jokingly as you chow down into your food, unable to control yourself any longer.

As you enter DEVOUR mode, both Nicolette and Sylvie do the same as the others look on.

"I see that Reinhold shares the same healthy appetite as Nicolette and Sylvie..." she laughs.
"It does seem that way... unfortunately," Marianne sighs. "I suppose now I know how he hit it off so quickly with those two..."
"Oh, don't be like that," she replies, laughing. "Reinhold needs to eat up so he can grow up to be big and strong like your father!"
"Ugh..." she sighs. "And don't think that I haven't noticed that you dropped the 'mister' when referring to him now."
"Seeing as how he knows by true feelings now, I don't really think there's any reason to remain formal," she shrugs. "Besides, it's kind of weird referring to someone so close in age to me as 'mister.'"

Despite having two full plates of food, Nicolette finishes eating first, followed by you and Sylvie. Melanie and the two princesses are the last to clean their plates, what with being actual proper ladies and all.

"That was great," Nicolette exclaims happily. "I hadn't eaten a damned thing since the wee hours of the morning, so that really hit the spot."
"I'm glad to see that you're satisfied with our food," Luciana replies, smiling.

"And I see that you didn't save any for me," a male voice says from the direction of the door.

"Wha!?" you gasp, instantly hitting panic mode and turning to face the sudden intruder... and then you see that it's just Sir Gregory who had snuck in the room.
"Don't mind me, I'm just checking on things..." Sir Gregory says, running a hand through his hair.

"Oh, Uncle Gregory!" Luciana says happily. "If I'd have known that you would be joining us, I'd have saved a plate..."
"Eh, I was just messing with you," he replies. "I just came in here to say that Celestino and Thierri finally let me escape from Argument Hell and that Reinhold's free to do whatever."

"Huh?" you say, unsure what he means.
"These rooms are as safe as Marianne's room in the castle," Sir Gregory explains. "And once you guys tell me what room they stuck me with, I'll be sticking around there for the rest of the night so you can go off and live it up once she decides to call it a night."

This is a decent notion. I would like to explore the town a bit too, maybe do some sketches there-- isn't this the first time that Reinhold has really left Granache? I can't remember if we did any travelling with the army, but surely this must be the first (or one of the few) times that we've been abroad with the opportunity for leisure/fun. Plus don't we have a fair bit of money that we can spend?

Heading out for the evening will also build romantic/dramatic tension. I'm sure Luciana will delight in telling them that we're out cavorting with the local girls.

"That's rather considerate of you," Marianne says.
"Meh, I don't believe in spreading the misery," Sir Gregory replies. "Not among people I actually like, anyways. So what room am I in?"
"You're in a suite with me," Nicolette says. "First door to the left."
"Ah, so we get to have some father-daughter time then," he smirks as he heads to the door. "And I'm sure that Reinhold doesn't appreciate my tresspassing on his lovely flower garden here, so I'll make myself scarce now."

Before anyone can muster up a witty comeback, Sir Gregory quickly exits the room.

"Ugh..." Marianne sighs. "Well, we're done eating and there are some things I wanted to talk with Luciana privately about... but I suppose I can wait a bit longer before kicking you all out."
"Your kindness wounds me," Nicolette retorts.

"No suggestions?" Marianne asks. "Alright then... it was nice spending the day with you and everything, but please get out. That also includes you," she points to you. "Consider yourself relieved for the day.
"Uh... thanks?"
"As rude as ever, I see..." Nicolette mumbles.

As the others prepare to leave, you turn to Luciana.

"Before I forget..." you begin, "I heard that the Lanzmanns are going to be in town for your brother's party."
"Oh, you're familiar with Marius Lanzmann's work?" Luciana asks, genuinely surprised. "...that's right, Marianne did say that you were something of an artist..."

"Umm, I believe that they'll be here tomorrow morning?" Luciana replies, slightly unsure.
"Oh, cool," you reply. "Would you happen to know where they're staying?"
"I'm not quite sure, but I could always find out... might I ask why you're so curious?"

She's not our sister, don't complicate the situation by lying, we've been honest to a fault about our past up until this point, don't muddy the waters.

If we're sketching, try sketching a floormap connecting the various suites. Specifically what is physically adjacent to every room.

While I dont doubt that Gregory is absolutely right about the safety of the wing, I'd feel remiss in our duty to not at least casually investigate the surrounding area.

Good habits are good habits.
>>
>>28295723
Do this.
>>28295785

>>28295904
Also a good idea, it's always useful to know where things are in case of an emergency. We won't always have the time to check which suite belongs to which people.
>>
>>28295904
Should we get a map of the entire castle as well?
>>
>>28295904
I don't think going around making a floor map of a foreign castle is a good habit. I think it's a highly suspicious and rude habit.

>>28295846
>don't complicate the situation by lying,
Absolutely.
>we've been honest to a fault
Honesty is never a fault.
>>
>>28295928
I sincerely doubt that the people here are going to give us a map. That's important information you don't just hand out to people from other kingdoms.
>>
>>28295904
Our king is busy being mad about Henri, we don't need to give Celestino a reason to go "See! You're just the same!" at him.
>>
>>28295936
If it wasn't a fault, then why is "Honest to a fault" a cliche?
>>
>>28295928
I doubt we'll get one. We only got one of Granache Castle because the librarian lent us his own personal copy.
>>
>>28295929
exploring and trying to familiarize ourselves with the area seems a good compromise

Our passion for our work never dwindled in the first place, dear Captcha.

>>28295952
Faulty men fear the righteousness of the honest, and in their craven jealousy, they paint it in a poor light.
>>
>>28295929
We're not making a full floor plan. Just the specifics of our rooms.

Besides which, our job isnt diplomat. Its keeping the Princess safe.

Which is also being a diplomat since we can cause her harm in a lot of way.
>>
>>28295936
>>28295952
Because the idiomatic expression "to a fault" means "to an excessive degree", rather than meaning the "to a degree at which it becomes a weakness" as you might expect if you were to try and take it literally.
>>
>>28295991
It's a dumb idea. Just familiarize ourselves with the area. Even if our job isn't a diplomat we aren't supposed to be doing anything that makes Granache look bad. It's completely unnecessary to draw the place and a highly suspicious action.
>>
>>28295991
You do realize that most spies are attached to the staff of a diplomat or VIP? Being caught with a self-made map of the castle would be very bad for international relations, much less personal safety.

"Well," you begin, "his wife happens to be my sister, and she told me that she'd be attending this party when I saw her the other day," you say. "So I thought I'd find out where she'd be staying beforehand so I don't forget."
"Oh my..." Luciana says with a look of surprise. "So that means that Marius Lanzmann is your brother-in-law..."
"I haven't actually met him yet, but Citrine was saying that she wanted to introduce us to each other."

"Aw, that's so sweet..." Luciana giggles. "I'll be sure to find out for you once Marianne's done lecturing me, okay?"
"Sure, thanks," you reply.

With that, you and the non-princess members of your group of friends head our into the hallway.

"So, I was thinking that maybe I could do a quick sketch of Nicolete..." you wonder out loud.
"Right now?" Sylvie replies. "I was thinking that you'd rather get one of her in the dress she'll be wearing for the party...'
"...god damn it Sylvie I am so going to punch you..." Nicolette mumbles. "Sorry, I'm too beat from all that dragon-fighting I did this morning to play artist with you tonight."

Well, now you need to think of something else to do...

Have we heard of his training journey? That alone might make it worth our while. We should try to at least convey that douchebaggery aside, we openly respect his skill. I don't remember how close the final match supposedly was. Do we actually respect his skill? And whatever happened to that one book on dueling etiquette we borrowed?
>>
>>28296543
He mentioned it to us. Unconfirmed on respect. We memorized it.

>>28296516
Yes, since i know people who are complex and not have their personality revolve around an attitude.

We broke his sword so we couldn't truly judge his skills.

It could be true, for all we know honestly.
which is better reverse trap or tomboy.

Tsukihime / Melty Blood. Both are games.

Tsukihime has no anime but we still have Carnival Phantasm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_XA15FnQME

its a running joke with fans that the anime doesn't exist
that's how bad it is, the only redeeming quality was the soundtrack
go download the game and play it instead
its by the same guys who did F/SN

"Eh, I guess I'll go head up to the battlements or something and check out the view," you say. "I'll see you three tomorrow."
"Try not to fall off," Nicolette teases. "The wind up there can get pretty bad.
"Ehehe, yes..." Melanie joins in. "Do be careful while you're up there."
"Bye, Reinhold," Sylvie says to you. "I'd ask if I could join you, but I know you're probably tired of dealing with us all day..." she laughs nervously.

"Dammit Sylvie just make your move already and get over with it," Nicolette whispers.
"Sh- shut up, Nicolette!" Sylvie shisper-shouts back.

You clearly didn't hear her say anything.

Nothing at all, nope.

Nicolette hasn't been very stoic. In fact, the word I'd use to describe her off-duty self is rambunctious. She likes winding people up but can't take it well.

As for Gregory, people were mostly against that because it was TOO obvious. They refused to accept that everything could resolve that simply, until it did.

Play the games and then wait for the remake's possibility of glorious Sacchin route and get pissed off about Arc's new miniskirt with the rest of us.

A friend of mine's a total fanboy who plays through Arc's route every Christmas because it's her birthday anf he's THAT much of a fanboy.

I'd say you should check it out. In my opinion the engine Tsukihime has is pretty slow, since it doesn't have any way to make the text go faster, but the story and the visual novel itself is still good. Afterwards, play Kagetsu Tohya since that has Len in it and it's a sequel.


Melty Blood is good if you like fighting games, and it is personally my favorite one. It's pretty poverty though. I still wait for Melty Blood HD. ;_;

Basically? This is the best you can get out of voting, as far as 4chan goes. It relies on a basic spam filter combined with the fact that the vast majority of people will be too lazy to proxy vote or reset their modems.

So, stop bitching.

Most times it takes the router being off for some time before the IP reassigns, it takes my router at least 8 hours of being off for a new IP to be given.

Ayup. Believe it or not, fellas, going out for a walk with a girl doesn't mean you're honor-bound to slap a ring on her finger or anything, alright? Just roll with it; it's neither the end of the world nor the end of the quest.

Gonna be odd though.

Rein purposely pushed Luciana's 'joke' confession to the back of his mind.

And then went 'NOPE, NOT HEARING THIS' at the girl's conversation.

The battlements is going to be possibly quite awkward. Like hes forcing himself to invite her.

I'm pretty sure he DOESN'T see it as a joke, but also recognizes that Luciana understands that her being able to choose her own suitor is a pipe dream, so it's completely irrelevant either way.

"If you want to come along, I honestly wouldn't mind," you say, shrugging. "No pressure or anything if you don't want to, though."
"N- no, that's okay-" Sylvie stammers. "I'm fine with-BWAAH!" she shouts as Nicolette suddenly pushes her forwards.

"She wants to come with you," Nicolette says, sighing. "She REALLY wants to, but she's an idiot and doesn't want to impose even though you clearly don't care.
"N- Nicolette!" Sylvie squeaks. "D- don't presume to-"
"Me and Melanie are going to go wander around now so you two have fun."
"H- hey, wait-" she calls back, but Nicolette's already pulling Melanie along with her down the hall.
"Have fun, you two!" Melanie waves goodbye.

Completely defeated, Sylvie slumps over for a few seconds and mumbles something that you can't make out at all before doing the longest sigh you've ever seen and standing back upright. She then starts to walk back to her room, but then stops and sighs yet again before finally turning around and approaching you.

"I never would have thought that I was actually dumber than Nicolette about this kind of thing..." Sylvie mumbles, "...sorry for wasting your time with my being stupid, let's go."
"Uh, sure," you reply.

As the two of you start down the hallway, it suddenly comes to mind that you don't actually know how to get to the battlements... but it's the roof and that means the stairs that go UP so you decide to just wing it.

Japanese isn't so much hard as alien. If you know Chinese you're halfway there. Six months of immersion and you'll be amazed at what you know.

"So, battlements..." you say as you walk. "Would it be possible to actually make my own using magic?" you ask, trying to break the silence.
"Hm?" Sylvie mumbles as your words pull her back into the real world. "Making... yeah, I guess. You'd probably need to make an entire castle first, though..." she starts laughing nervously. "That'd take more magical evergy than anyone I know has aside from my father, though..."

"His reserves are that large?" you ask. "Then again, you said before that you had like ten times the base of normal people..."
"Ehehe, yeah..." Sylvie smiles. "Daddy's fight with Mr. Niklaus was actually decided when he outlasted him. Daddy was still ready to go, but Nr. Niklaus was completely tapped out..." she laughs. "And Uncle Thierri says that he's never actually seen him anywhere close to his limit."
"...damn," you say, wondering if it's even possible to get to Vincent's seemingly insane level one day.

As the two of you head up a long staircase, you think that you've finally reached the roof but the door is locked. With an annoyed grumble, you head back down and try to find another route.

We'd need to get the land from Thierri first. And to live somewhere other than the Palace, we'd need to give up our job.

By that point we'll probably be strong enough to make our own castle, it'd just be one piece at a time rather than all at once.

"Sorry for eating up so much of your time..." you sigh as you start down another hallway. "...I know that not everyone actually likes teaching others, and I kind of begged you to tutor me in magic," you say guiltily.
"Eh!?" Sylvie stammers. "D- don't think that, I love being able to sp- I mean, I really like being able to show someone else how great magic is! And since Nicolette and Marianne aren't really interested, it's not like I have anyone else my own age to talk about it with."

"Are you sure? I mean, it clearly takes you a massive amount of effort to..." you begin, but are cut off.
"I mean it, I really enjoy teaching you," Sylvie says, desperately trying to convince you. "Why do you think I put so much effort into it in the first place?"
"Heh, I guess you have a point there..."
"S- so never ever think you're bugging me, okay?" she says, blushing. "I, um- I really like hanging out with you and I actua- never mind," she covers her mouth with her hands mid-sentence as if manually forcing herself not to finish that sentence.

Another staircase, another dud... this one seems to lead to a storage closet. Back down the stairs you go.

why not explore what's in the storage closet at the top of the tower together with Sylvie? It sure ain't servant supplies.

>>
>>28299170
>this one seems to lead to a storage closet.

>Back down the stairs you go.
I suspect Sylvie is highly disappointed with Reinhold's choice of actions upon stumbling across a storage closet.
>>
>>28299170
Just make out with her in the storage closet Rienhold. What's the worst that could come of it?
>>
>>28299170
Poor Sylvie. She is crushing so hard, but Princess route is the only true route.
>>
>>28299170
It's like we're being hit in the face with her affections.

A full blown confession is coming. Maybe not this thread, maybe not next. But it is coming.

>>28299170
Oh hey, my suggestion of asking about teaching made it in, even if it wasn't a popularly voted option.
YAY.

I'll bet. She needs somewhere to hide all the spaghetti she is dropping.

That's good, I like spending time with you too Sylvie, I never really had any friends growing up and after that in the military it wasnt quite the same since we were soldiers first
Entering that tournament has been the best thing I ever did really
>>
>>28299233
As long as Sylvie doesn't cry in front of Reinhold, I'm okay with anything.

Don't disappoint me, Sylvie. Bottle up those tears.
>>
>>28299234
Ugh. I really don't want to deal with that. Especially since she started crushing practically the day after we met her. Sylvie route just feels so effortless and shallow.
>>
Why was my first thought "look for narnia" in a literal sense. What the hell is wrong with me?
>>
>>28299283
Ah, to think. If it weren't for Vincent, we could freely get our dick wet and move on to more satisfying conquests.
>>
>>28299283
Ever thought she's crushing specifically because of the choices we've made, even if we haven't intentionally been going for that effect?

Same process as deliberately going for a girl, except without all the "am I doing it right" angst.
>>
>>28299233
Tis a sad thing. But we'll let her off easy. Maybe with a small kiss, yes?
>>
>>28299233

All we really did was ask her to teach us magic and make a few jokes. Then all of a sudden Nico is constantly teasing her about her crush. It came out of nowhere.

I can't believe you guys are gonna friendzone Sylvie.

I mean, she's a mage who casts FIST! FIST!
>>
>>28299314
From our perspective.

We made specific dialogue choices, made specific action choices, and chose to go to *her*, specifically, instead of all the other hilariously powerful and experience magic users in the Castle for lessons.

Every action has a consequence, and most don't have a big neon [Sylvie Points +1] popup every time they have an effect.
>>
>>28299336
Get used to it. I like her a lot too, but you'll feel a lot less bad when it happens if you're open to the idea.
>>
>>28299336
Shut up. I am so sick of hearing that. That is the stupidest fucking reason to think a girl is some kind of soul mate. This is exactly why I said the Sylvie route feels shallow
>>
In character Reinhold probably knows about how she feels but doesn't think some kid from a brothel is good enough for nobility. He probably thinks it's just a phase and she will find someone better, like a knight or a prince to end up with.
>>
>>28299348

>>28299303
Having been there I can assure you, going down that route will only make it worse.
>>
>>28299337
There is a lot more reasons for Nico or Marie to like him over Sylvie, even if you want to include subtle point gains.
>>
>>28299314
Consider that she's probably spent more time with us in the last month than any boy her own age and that we enjoy her company, it's not hard for a girl that age to fall for a guy and it's not like Rein's unattractive.

I like shy girls in general. Especially shy girls that open up like she has to Nicolette. The moments when her true personality shines through the crush are the best.

... Which means I'll probably like her more if she's friendzoned.
>>
Fuck, I'm so conflicted right now.
I've been pushing for ignorant / asexual Reinhold for ages, but seeing as Reinhold is now more or less completely aware of her feelings I don't think he would just stay passive and wait for her to make a move.
Either try to let her down gently or try to let her inn. I still don't think Reinhold is ready for any sort of proper relationship.

>>
>>28299416
You don't have to be so rude about it, there's been whole threads of bashing the shallow little girl who is teaching us magic.

The main reason I've been against the Princess is you don't mix work and play, but OH WAIT Princess is a Tsundere/Ice Queen! At least Arch has made awesome characterisations for all the girls, not just one.

>>28299376
FAA pls

>>28299400
>>28299394

Yeah, but that's *OUR* perspective.

Sylvie is shy, her best friend teases her and her cousin intentionally distances herself. Her dad is the Ur-magician, everyone else in the castle is powerful as hell magically, and she's only just started learning, even if people say she's gifted.

Then along comes a genuinely friendly, handsome, strong guy who specifically comes and asks *her* to teach him everything she knows about magic as though she's some elemental goddess, and then risks ticking off The Bloody Mist to *Bake her a Fucking Cake* and tries his damnedest to help her reconcile with her best friends.

From your average teenage girl's perspective, this is like a goddamn Edward Cullen-tier wet dream fantasy come to life. For a shy one with possible self-esteem issues like Sylvie, well. You get the picture.

Of course she damn well likes us.
>>
>>28299442
I agree. It's pretty goddamn mean to NOT say something at this point.
>>
>>28299459
have we even asked Sylvie what her goals are
>>
>>28299475
/tg/ is either not good at considering the effects of social interaction, or surprisingly cruel.

>>28299442

>>28299475
This was why I was supporting Sylvie, only in less words.
>>
>>28299475
>and then risks ticking off The Bloody Mist to *Bake her a Fucking Cake* and tries his damnedest to help her reconcile with her best friends.

I think you're forgetting the part where we gave the cake to Marie and comforted her when she was crying, called Marie by a pet name directly in front of her, and then ditched her magic lessons to read the book we got from Marie all on that same day. Not only that but we played up Guillame's cake over ours instead of offering it to her.

Not only that, but you're overblowing shit in general.
>>
>>28299459
Whoa whoa, I didn't say I didn't think there was a relationship there. Not all relationships have to be DEEP and MEANINGFUL.

Also >>28299503
>>
>>28299480
Yeah, we should really try to break it to her politely that it's probably not happening.

But since this is a life run by committee, we're instead going to string her along forever being untenably indecisive.
>>
>>28299475
>and then risks ticking off The Bloody Mist to *Bake her a Fucking Cake* and tries his damnedest to help her reconcile with her best friends.

This last bit is was not just for slyvie. For whom the cake for is in some doubt. What is SURE is that the cake was for the party and ultimately, the party was for Marianne's benefit. Congratulating Slyvie was really a convenient excuse that came about for MARIANNE to reconcile with HER friends.
>>
>>28299503
Yeah. She wants to be a mage like her dad.
>>
>>28299506
Mostly the latter. It's why we're here.

"Sorry about the constant dead ends," you apologize.
"That's okay, just walking around like this is fun too," Sylvie says cheerily.

Great, she's not freaking out anymore!

"Since you said that it doesn't bug you if I asked and all," you begin, "what kind of spells do you think I ought to know?"
"Ummm..." Sylvie mumbles as she appears to start counting something on her fingers, "...you started learning kind of weird, so a lot of the basics like Iluminate and Enshroud and Heat Up kind of got left behind... Those may not be directly useful in the short-run, but they're the kind of things that are pretty handy when you need them."

"As far as stuff that'd be specifically useful for your job, um... you have Holy Shine for a defensive spell, maybe something like Shade Guard would be useful too. And I don't think you know any attack spells, right?" Sylvie asks.
"No the only spells I know are the ones you taught me," you reply.
"Ehehe, now I'm starting to feel kind of guilty..." she laughs. "I guess stuff like Arctic Blade and Fireball would be good for you. My father's punching spells don't work with a sword at all though, so those are kind of out of the question."

"But, umm... yeah," Sylvie says as she adjusts her glasses. "if you have anything like that you want to know about, just ask me and I'll look it up for you if you want. And again, it's seriously no problem at all for me to do so don't think you're imposing or anything."
"I'll keep that in mind, you reply."

I think that at best, he might approach a relationship as another assignment, if a really laid back one with neat benefits. At worst...

That said, MCs sometimes get a starter relationship that they eventually grow out of. Might not be a terrible approach to take?

I think Reinhold is still too traumatised subconsciously to start a relationship, and to some extent he is aware of this, just consider his responses in this thread to romantic suggestions.
However, we must determine who is he most likely to have fallen for already, from a strictly RP perspective, because the tension is reaching critical levels and we are increasingly likely to end up in a situation where we have to choose.

So I recommend that the shipfags go and masturbate while the RP people discuss the issue.

I'd say Marianne. He goes way out of his way for her compared to every other girl and has even hugged her and bought presents for her. It's probably partially the similiarities in their issues but he's really just too damn relentlessly nice to her.

Let me say that I do not mean to disparage or dismiss the psychological impact of child molestation.

I do not think it would be fun or enjoyable to properly roleplay "getting over" no-no-bad-touch memories. At the pacing that PGQ goes, it would take more threads than most quests see in their lifetime to treat the issue as it deserves. It's more reasonable and better for the quest if he's basically over it already.

It's reaching critical levels OOC, but in character I don't think it's at a level we're he's developed feelings for one girl any more than another. I think he's just really confused romantically and doesn't know how to properly address his feelings so he just bottles it all up.
Although I can easily see that bottle breaking when someone confesses to him, from there it's all just tumbling down for his psych and I have no idea if he would accept a confession, politely decline for now or just outright say no.

The stars in the sky combined with the close-to-full moon and the light reflecting off the planet's rings make for quite the lovely sight. You -almost- wish you could go up there and fly around yourself to get a closer view, but that's just silly.

"Oh wow..." Sylvie says. "...it's been a while since I was this high up at night..."
"The closest I've gotten to this is when I had guard duty back in the army, and I didn't really have the opportunity to just appreciate the view lik this," you reply.

As the two of you walk onto the roof proper, you hear footsteps approaching.

"Hey, what are you kids doing up here!?" a guard shouts.
"Er- we were just-" you begin to say, but Sylvie cuts you off.
"I'm Sylvie Roseline Granache and this is Reinhold. We're guests of King Celestino, and personal friends of Princess Luciana... she told us that we were free to roam the castle as we pleased, but were we incorrect in that assumption?" Sylvie says in an extremely formal tone.

"Granache- oh crap, that is right..." the guard says under his breath. "The King's brother-in-law and his group... er, sorry for bothering you, miss," the guard bows. "We just need to be careful seeing as how there's a lot of outsiders here in the castle for the next few days. I'll be over there if you need anything, so don't mind me..."

As the guard heads off to a far-off corner of the castle wall in order to give the two of you some space, Sylvie cracks her knuckles.

"Aah..." Sylvie sighs. "...I hate getting all formal like that, it doesn't agree with me at all."

I agree with him, in character it really is too early.
However, 56 threads in the audience has become pretty radicalized, people who think certain girls are best for Rein or like them most personally have pretty much solidified their opinions by this point and now they're becoming more and more vocal about it despite Rein only knowing these girls for a month or even less.

>>28300052
It's precisely because she hasn't gotten a strike that I don't think she's a good match. The two know next to nothing about each other and the relationship feels very shallow and simple. There's no tension or sense of something more, it's just Sylvie crushing. It's very hollow in comparison to the other girls.

>>28300040

>>28300064

No, we improved our relationship with Marianne a lot, but we're still basically her pet and she's still someone we have to protect. We're friends, but she's still fairly distant. Nico we're GOOD friends with, but in a very Bro's way. Sylvie isn't scared of us, treats us as an equal (Points fo Nico too there), spends a lot of time with use (teaching us magic but still), and has accompanied us on more or less all of our adventures.

My take on it at least.

"Well either way, I'm glad you were here to handle it," you say. "I probably would've ended up saying something stupid and ended up detained."
"Ehehe, I'm always happy to help," she says, glggling. "Just kind of got annoyed th- never mind," she sighs. "It's a pretty nice view out here, huh. You can see the entire city from this high up."
"Yeah, it certainly looks different when you're all the way up here," you reply.
"I might as well take the opportunity while I can..."

Sylvie then stretches a bit before jumping straight onto the battlements and doing a little pose.

"Yup, still got it!" Sylvie says happily.
"Gaah- get down from there, it's all windy and you could fall!" you shout frantically, not having expected Sylvie of all people to do something this reckless.
"Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly safe up here..." she laughs, playfully sticking her tongue out at you.

She then turns her back to you to face the moon... and then begins chanting.

"Shining lights of the night sky, free me of my shackles so that I may soar to your boundless heights," she says as Script spins around her like an unfurling tapestry. "Starlight Wing!"

Sylvie then jumps in the air as a pair of eerily glowing white wings form on her back and lift her further up. You watch on as she shows off for a bit, doing several loops and spins before going up as high as she can and staying up there for a few minutes.

Just as you're starting to worry that she might be stuck or something, she finally descends, dropping the spell as she lands next to you.

"It's always nice to stretch out your wings, you know..." Sylvie jokes. "So, um... you said that you were going to sketch the view?"

the only reason why we've started to be interested in sylvie is because she knows magic and we wanted to know magic

for good reasons of course since we want to do our job better so we have to keep going back to her. i don't think the first thing we do whenever we want to talk to sylvie is try to romance her, we're doing it just because we want to learn magic

so really i dont know why we're pulling her heartstrings just let her go

I actually think ~1 month is the appropriate time to initiate romance after meeting a girl. It's long enough to know if you've got mutual interests, but not so long that either side has really begun to look at the other as "just a friend" an dismissed the idea altogether.

If anything, I feel like the mature thing for Reinhold to do would be to come clean that he can't exactly into romance, not because he doesn't return her feelings, but because his conceptions of romantic love during his formative years (a brothel, followed by abuse, followed by the ARMY) were so fucked in the head that he doesn't know that he isn't just going to conflate "you are nice, and pretty, and I enjoy your company" with "I have feelings for you", and that phoning it in just because we don't want to hurt someone's feelings is the one thing we understand would be VERY incorrect for us to do.

I feel guilty for not explaining to her how Rein feels when he's got a good idea of how she feels, but I think he would still avoid his feelings for now.

It's not about fucking baggage. It's about literally not interacting with each other in a meaningful way at all.

Are you honestly going to say that mutual attraction and appreciating qualities is somehow mutually exclusive to tension and actually working through problems together?
>>
>>28300116
We don't try to romance anyone first thing out of our mouth. Or, you know, at all.

My vote's going in for Sylvie, when it comes up.

I feel like Rien is way to terrified/PTSDed of Marianne romance and Nico still seems too bro tier to me.

no offense Mariefags, Nicofags, or miedofags

Just going to recommended this again. See if she can keep wings for sketch of her with the awesome background.

Do this, see if she blushes bright enough to light up the roof

I'll support this only because I want to see how flustered Sylvie will get

Little heavy-handed there, friend. Maybe Luciana could get away with that one, but I dunno if it's in Reinhold's wheelhouse.

Still amusing, though.

Getting Sylvie in the sketch is perfectly acceptable, though.

Especially if we don't warn her in advance, and spring the finished product on her with a "So what do you think?"
>>
>>28300176
You seem to consider baggage the only thing meaningful. All the happy moments we shared with the others aren't meaningless.

>>28300156
Fuck yes

No doubt that I will hnng.

No offense taken, I can understand the reasoning

Why are people actually voting for this

>>28300211
They want to lead Sylvie on as hard as they possibly can.
>>
>>28300211
Because it's hilariously awesome.
>>
>>28300156
I just want this for Sylvie's reaction.
>>
>>28300187
Lets hope. Longest thread in awhile.
>>
>>28300211
No idea. I support sketching Sylvie, but the dialogue for that one is too forward for Reinhold.
>>
>>28300211
Because Sylvie is cute as fuck when she's flustered.
>>
>>28300221
It's totally out of character.
>>
>>28300204
I'm saying pure happy isn't meaningful because it shows a lack of depth. Emotional attachments lead to a lot of emotion, good and bad. When you don't utilize the full-range of emotions, you imply a weak emotional attachment.
>>
>>28300221
Very true.
>>
>>28300156
Please no

Really?
>>
>>28300176

I'm not saying it's mutually exclusive with tension, in fact I'm sure some problems would arise.

But you're in a relationship despite problems, not because of them. Definitely not because problems BETWEEN the two of you. If that were the case, maybe Nico and Marianne would romance Monique.

Now if there was some external problem that pushed the two together, that I could imagine.

Alright, that's enough voting for that.
The thread's nearly about to fall off the board and I have class in the morning so I guess this is it for tonight.
I enjoyed all your waifu-ing and in-depth examinations of character motivations and all that, it makes my bizarre hobby seem more worthwhile when people put that much thought into it.

Anyways, I have a final vote for you all. There shall be TWO interlude things at the end of this day. One is Karel, but you get to decide the other.

The choices are:
>Marianne and Luciana
>Nicolette and Melanie

You get one, not the other. Pick now before the /tg/ gods sink this ship forevar.

It has nothing to with being broken. It has to do with a lack of issues or problems being not only unrealistic, but completely lacking in any sense of deep emotional investment.

>>28300246

I want to see what they're doing.
>>
>>28300272
I wonder how much more obvious she'll get before we talk about it.
I could see it getting to the point where she sneaks into our room in the middle of the night wearing almost-nothing, and then gives up and /tg/ instead has a small tea party with her like nothing weird happened.

Not that I disagree about Sylvie being boring, but I do take issue with that.
Lots of people make it through childhood without issues.

I'm not doing them now, I have to waste time sleeping and all that.
Just a vote on what I should get to working on, that's all.

We QMs feed on misery and conflict.

It doesn't have to be a big issue. I just wish there was SOME issue. Even a minor one.

As it stands, Sylvie just blushes and stammers a lot and Reinhold just sort of doesn't react at all and stays the same nice guy he always is. It's like there isn't anything to their relationship but small talk.

Often linked hand in hand.
The only difference between the two is the target, and surprisingly often, these two things occur simultaneously.
He must have a raging boner from the shitstorm that >>28300156

Their relationship is based on kindness, small talk and magic. Not the stuff of Epic Romance, but nice enough for kids their age.

it's like you deliberately try to make her look bad by being too good.
>>
>>28300342
Her mother is a bitch who wants her to be a proper lady. She spent the majority of her life under that mother's thumb, and only recently escaped to spend most of her time doing mage training at the castle.

It's a small issue, yes, but that's what you asked for.

Do you have her confused with Nico's awesome mom? All we know about Sylvie's mom is that she's a girly girl according to Sylvie.
>>
>>28300453

We've seen her speak before though in an interlude. It was after the Sylvie and Niklaus fight
>>
>>28300453
You don't badmouth a lady you barely know. You just don't.

Especially when she's married to the spookiest guy in the whole kingdom. He might hate her himself, but I doubt it.
>>
>>28300294
>It has to do with a lack of issues or problems being not only unrealistic, but completely lacking in any sense of deep emotional investment.
You know after one month most women don't spill the beans on everything right?
I've known girl for 8 years and she only recently told me her father used to abuse her when she was young.
>>
>>28300467
Oh, so she did.

Even if she is willing to beat up her cousin Gregory (update the family trees, guys) for Sylvie's sake, she still has poor tastes in hobbies and is far too proper.
>>
>>28300495
That makes her lame in comparison with the other adults around here, which isn't saying much. And probably a restraint for Sylvie.
It doesn't make her a bitch.

We need less fuckable women and more cute girls. We can all agree on cute girls.

We need to get in good with Celestino so we can be Elena's official BFF.
