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 getting the Princess out of an annoying encounter with Luciana's brother Giancarlo, the two of you hung out with your grandmother for a while.

After she told Agnes a few tales of your somewhat embarrassing exploits, the King himself popped up and shared a story of his own...

...Marianne didn't really appreciate that very much.


>Congratulations, you are now a mangy DOG!
>Though 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.

Aww, I was hoping for more Monique.

As you watch Marianne storm off with the King, you feel the strong urge to laugh... but there's always a chance of her turning back to look at you, and you DO NOT want to get caught laughing at her expense.

Even if the King's story WAS funny.

"It probably won't be too long before she forgives him... I hope," you say to nobody in particular.
"I've barely known the Princess for an hour now, and even I can tell how much she adores her father," Agnes says, turning to you. "Don't worry, this will blow over soon. Besides, teenage girls are fickle like that."

"That's limited to -teenage- girls?" Marius says, glancing over at Citrine.
"Watch yourself," Citrine says to her husband, "or I might be inclined to drag you out onto the dance floor."
"My sincerest apologies," he replies with an exaggerated bow. "I'd much rather not make a total ass of myself in front of all these people, thank you very much."

Oh yeah... dancing.

"Speaking of which..." you say, turning to Agnes.
"Ah, you already want to get to the dancing?" she replies, laughing. "I'd have been more than happy to trade some more stories, but I'm sure that a dashing young man like yourself already has several dances lined up."

Has she been spying on you?

"If you want to dance, then let's head over to the dance floor," Agnes says as she gets up from her seat.
"I guess that's our cue to leave," Marius says, a nervous smile on her face. "Don't want the wife to get any ideas."
"Oh, you can't dance?" Agnes asks.
"Like a chicken with its head cut off," Citrine laughs.

As Marius forcibly pulls his wife to another area of the hall, you take Agnes's arm and help her along the way to the dance floor.

"So, uh... do you dance often?" you ask.
"Oh, not much nowadays," Agnes replies. "I was forced to take lessons when I was a girl, and my fetching good looks got me a lot of attention..." she says, a nostalgic look in her eyes. "...though my charming personality did scare off more than a few potential suitors."

Considering the reputation that she seems to have, that's not too hard to believe.

"I'm a bit rusty, but I think I can at least parrot what those folks over there are doing," Agnes says, pointing to the people who are already dancing. "Is that good with you?"

Looking over at the people who Agnes is pointing at, you notice that they're doing the same dance that you'd been practicing with Marianne... come to think of it, you never did bother to learn what it was called.

"Yeah, that should be fine," you reply. "I've had that one pretty much beaten into me over the past month so I'm pretty sure I can manage it without embarrassing us."

"Oh, you take dance lessons?" Agnes asks, rather surprised to hear that.
"It's not so much that -I- took dance lessons so much as it was that I was forced to act as the Princess's dancing partner," you reply with a weary smile.
"Ooh, so you got to dance with the Princess?" Agnes giggles. "You're a pretty lucky guy..."
"Dunno about that," you say as you remember a certain incident.

After a bit of maneuvering through the crowd of people serving as a barrier between the dance floor and the rest of the hall where the party's being held, you finally make it there!

"Oh dear, it looks rather crowded..." Agnes says as she looks at the number of people dancing. "How do you think we should do this?"

Nobody would say no to making room for a sweet old granny. Especially not one named Agnes Eschenwald. It'll save us the worry of someone bumping in to us and getting all pissy mid-dance, as asshole nobles are wont to do.

"Maybe we can try and cut in when there's an opening?" you suggest.
"Sounds good to me," Agnes replies. "I just need to take care of this thing and we'll be good to go," she says as she walks over to a nearby butler and hands him her cane.

Oh yeah, it'd be kind of hard to dance with that in the way... fortunately, the butler she asked seems to be more than happy to help out a kindly old lady like Agnes.

"Alright, I'm pretty sure my back will cooperate with me long enough to get a dance in with you," Agnes says as she holds onto your arm long enough to correct her posture. "I still have a bit of pep left in me, after all!"
"Certainly looks like it," you reply.

With your course of action set, you take Agnes's hand and walk over to the edge of the dance floor. Though it does take a few minutes of waiting, an area eventually opens to that's large enough for the two of you to safely dance in.

"Let's go, Reinhold!" Agnes says as SHE pulls YOU along with her onto the dance floor.

...yeah, she's got plenty of pep left in her.

After quickly getting positioned (thanks to all the people dancing around you, you're in a bit of a rush to avoid having someone running into you or Agnes), you take the lead and begin dancing.

Step...

Step...

Turn...

Though you start off slow, Agnes ends up raising the pace in order to keep up with the other folks who are dancing... she's definitely a pro at this.

Though you still have that tinge of ALERTmode that was instilled into you after several weeks of dancing with Marianne, you're actually kind of enjoying this!

"You're pretty good, Reinhold!" Agnes says, smiling at you. "I'm sure the ladies here at the party'll be lining up to dance with you once we're finished!"

"Yeah..." you say, laughing nervously, "...considering that there's already a line of girls waiting to dance with me as it is, I don't really think I want to make it any longer."
"So you've mentioned," Agnes replies, amused by your response. "Would you happen to be interested in any of the ladies who've already reserved a dance with you?" she asks.

Yeah, you kind of walked into this one.

>writing
>>
>>29055472
Yes I guess

Honestly for something like this we best get it off the dance and really talk with her.

Then again a party is no time to talk about this.


So I guess we just skim trauma (I had a bad experience) and let her know much later
>>
>>29055472

I don't think that's what some of the answers are going for. It's all mostly neutral.

My answer pretty much tells it as it is, since we already know most of the girls are interested in us.
>>
>>29055514
Or we just say "they're just friends I'm not looking to romance anyone right now" like the option that won did. Muh trauma doesn't have to come up if you don't want it to.
>>
>>29055472
how is saying "i'm not ready for a relationship right now" pulling the trauma card

"You ask difficult questions."

"Well, I don't want to come off as a womanizer.."

"Just as friends," you say, seguing into another turn. "I'm just trying to have some fun and put these lessons to good use... I'm not really ready for something like a relationship right now."
"Aw, that's too bad..." Agnes replies, pouting. "I guess it'll be a while yet before I have some great-great-grandchildren."

"Uh- you do know that Citrine is pregnant, right?" you ask.
"Ah, yes!" Agnes laughs. "She doesn't look the part, so it had slipped my mind... though considering that she's already having morning sickness, the belly's sure to come next," she says with a knowing laugh. "Seven months to go..."

You continue to dance for a few more minutes as you talk about various things... but then you notice that Agnes is slowing down a bit.

"Ehehe... sorry, Reinhold," Agnes says. "It looks like the old arthritis is acting up again."
"Oh- don't worry about it, I'm just happy that I was able to dance with you at all," you reply.
"You're too kind..."

But I'm guessing there will be some sort of Happening before we get even halfway through that list. Maybe it's already begun.
>>
Trying to hurry up before your great-grandmother's back gives out on her, the two of you make your way off of the dance floor...

...but in your rush to leave, you forgot that the people around you dancing have no compunctions to make way for you. And when you combine that with the fact that the two of you had pretty much stopped in the middle of everything, well...

You notice someone moving towards you... or rather, Agnes.

But you're the one who just had someone nearby knock you over.

"Ah- my apologies, I should have watched where I was going..." the person who just bumped into you says.

Oh.

THAT'S what happened.

Agnes saw this guy about to run into her so she... threw you in the way to act as a buffer. Whatever, better you than her.

"Er- sorry about that..." Agnes says, an expression of shame on her face. "Reflexes, you see..."
"No, it was my fault," you reply, turning around to see whose dance you'd just interrupted.

And of course it had to be -that guy-.

"No, it was my-" he cuts himself short when he realizes just who you are. "...YOU." he says, glaring at you with a look of pure hatred. "No matter where I go, it's always YOU who ruins whatever good day that I may have been having..."

Monique Gilbeault.

God damn it.

Hes not an asshole, but a guy with a stick up his ass.
He seems to fancy the maid and is nice to everyone.(his personality just clashes with nicos and we broke his family sword/punched him)
>>
>>29056020
It's kind of like saying "I'm sorry I fucked your wife over and over again a few months back."
>>
>>29056020

It's just going to seem like we're antagonising him. Monique does not have any good feelings for us, if the first fucking thing we do seems to be smearing shit in his face ("nyah nyah we broke your sword") he's just going to become more angry. This is a man who is used to working with words that veil behind them barbed meanings: he'll take what we say in the worst possibly way.
>>
>>29056020
because we broke that sword in a duel. it wasn't like we broke into his house and smashed his shit.

since then he's been nothing but a total cunt and insulted one of rein's closest friends. remember that rein would happily murder someone who threatened or hurt his friends (see reaction to assassins, finding out that guy was mari's ex bodyguard, decking monique when he insulted nico)

>>29056047
this, he's a prick and more than a little stuck up, but he's got reason to be agitated when rein's around, he's not bad like milien or maybe giancarlo
>>
>>29056047
Nice to everyone when he isn't calling every woman who can't advance his position a whore, or antagonizing his troops, or being an overall pompous douchebag.

Shit, he like Melanie for about ten seconds...before he remembered she was a maid, and therefore became completely worthless to him.

But yeah, Monique is a super nice guy.

Reinhold doesn't know any of that. It's all metagaming.

Yeah, he's a ponce and has a very low Nigga Moment threshold, but he's not actively harmful and generally means well even if he's a bit misguided.

He doesn't come anywhere close to Giancarlo or THAT GUY.
>>
>>29056081
He didn't call her a whore, he said her breeding sucked due to how rude she was, and he was trying to prove to Matthias that there were decent ladies among the nobility with Melanie as an example, except he remembered that Melanie was actually a maid

He helped her out even knowing she was a maid and the only time he remembered she was a maid was when he was trying to think of some pleasant noble women.

Guys. It doesn't have any fucking thing to do about feeling bad about the sword or thinking Monique is a nice guy. It's about not starting a fucking fight at a fancy ball by being needlessly antagonistic.

Jesus Christ.
>>

>>
>>29056103
>>29056087
yes but we're not reinhold

reinhold doesn't know that he's generally not an awful person, everything we as rein know is that he insulted our friends, insulted us, and is a total creep who is only nice to mari and luci, which reeks of slimy 'if i'm nice to the princesses maybe i'll get some social status'

this is metagaming at it's finest, rein has pretty much no reason at all to be nice. there's only his brother saying that the sword was a family heirloom, everything monique himself has done has been vaguely antagonistic.
>>
>>29056118
Someone is trying to play it off as the POV's fault that we're suddenly being nice to him.

Pay attention to the conversation.
>>
>>29056099

Case in point: >>29056125
>>
>>29056125
which is why we apologize for bumping him and for the sword but nothing else. not beating him at the tourney, not smashing his face in, nothing. just the bump and the sword
>>
>>29056125
We have met his brother who was pretty chill and told us about his family sword which explain his attitude towards us,(my memory is failing me so i'll just put this part in spoilers.) and how his brother can get all high and mighty sometime, but means well.
>>
>>29056125
Reinhold has plenty of reason to be nice. He's a fundamentally nice person. Marianne was a massive bitch on several occasions, but Rein just grinned and dealt with it. It would be Out Of Character for him to not extend the same generosity to Monique.

Not that Monique hasn't acted like a massive toll around Reinhold- he has- but Reinhold is also very forgiving. That's one of his major character traits.
>>
>>29056149
>>29056159
yes

i'm not saying we should punch him in the face

i'm saying we shouldn't drop to our knees and suck his cock while shouting muffled apologies for breaking his fucking sword

be polite, but don't be nice to him
>>
>>29056170
This is probably the best course of action.
>>
Hahaha.

I just thought about this and had to laugh.

Do we get this worked up about battle situations, /tg/?
>>
>>29056125
You're just interpreting everything in the worst possible light.

We have no reason to antagonize him, and him being a ponce isn't actively harmful to us and ours most of the time.

We stand to gain absolutely nothing by being rude for no reason, except for cementing him as a completely unnecessary enemy. Rein's default attitude when not in Protect Mode is nice, no reason to change that.
>>
>>29056159

Why don't you get it into your head that mentioning the sword in any capacity is an antagonistic move? Monique does not have sympathy or empathy or understanding towards us, he WON'T accept our apology at face value, he WILL think we are mocking him.
>>
>>29056166
Actually, Reinhold really, -really- wanted to tell Marie off when he first met her and even sort of did for his first few interactions with her.

Won't drink this tea? Then I will since I'm not wasteful. Insult my skills? Then you're insulting your dad's judgement. Talk shit about my parents? I'm an orphan thank you.

The main reason Reinhold actually gets along with Marie is because he didn't roll over for her and called her out on her shit on the firs day.
>>
>>29056188
Look man, this isn't difficult. I'm not saying to antagonize him, I don't want to upset him, but I don't want to be particularly nice.

I'm saying we have no reason to be apologetic about anything we've done this far, to be actively good to him. Be polite, apologise for bumping into him, but no more than that.

>>29056192
Also this, bringing up the sword would likely do nothing but piss him off. It's really not a good idea to mention.
>>
>>29056202
He also didn't run around punching her in the face. Which isn't a fair comparison, I know, as they are completely different situations. The point is, when Anons started their feud with Monique Reinhold's character wasn't as fully developed, and I doubt the Reinhold of today would take such a violent tact with Monique.

There's a difference between calling someone out on their shit, which Monique needs, and clocking them on the jaw, which was utterly unnecessary.
>>
Ugh. while you knew that Monique would be here, you were hoping that maybe you wouldn't have to run into him...

...to say nothing about LITERALLY running into him. Whatever, time to try and be diplomatic.

"Sorry for running into you like that, Monique," you say as you bow your head for added apologeticness. "I'm not here to start anything, I'm just trying to escort my grandmother off the dance floor."
"Honestly, I bet that you intentiona-" Monique begins to say, but then stops himself when he sees Agnes. "...dancing with your grandmother. I see."

Monique then places a hand to his temples and takes a deep breath before facing the two of you once more.

"I apologize for my previous outburst," Monique says with a deep bow. "While I am in no way fond of your grandson, I suppose that not even -he- would actually try and cause trouble with you standing right there, Mrs..."
"Eschenwald," Agnes replies. "Agnes Eschenwald."

Mouth agape, Monique stares at you.

As if he's frozen.

For several minutes.

"M- Mr. Gilbeault?" the woman he was apparently dancing with calls out, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay? It looks like you've seen a ghost..."
"...Eschenwald," Monique says, seemingly ignoring the woman. "You're Agnes Eschenwald."
"Pleased to meet you... from the last name, I take it that you're one of Marcel's children?"
"Y... yes I am."

"...and you're HIS grandmother," Monique says, pointing at you.
"Great-grandmother, actually," Agnes replies with a proud smile.
"Great... yes, he only had one son, so that means that Volker-"

Aaaand it looks like his brain just shut down again.

"Actually, Volker is Reinhold here's adopted father," Agnes says, patting you on the back.
"Eheh... eheheh... eheheheh... of ALL the people in ALL the world..." Monique laughs, a look on his face that suggests that he's about to completely lose it.

"S- sorry, Miss Niels," Monique says, turning to his concerned dance partner. "I'm going to have to cut our dance short... I need some time alone to rethink my life."
"Um, okay?" the woman replies, a look of concern in her eyes. "I'd still like to continue our dance once you've gotten your matters in order..."

With a weak wave goodbye, Monique stumbles away and disappears into the crowd.

>how do you react?

>>29056421
Can't we just... talk to him? I feel kind of guilty now.
>>
>>29056421
"I think he broke."

"Grandmother, I am truly happy to have found a family in a strange place... But what have I gotten myself into?"
>>
>>29056421
Huh, I wonder what happened to him?
>>
>>29056421

"...I wonder what that was all about," you say.
"I take it that you and that young man over there have a bit of a history?" Agnes asks as the butler from before returns her cane.
"Er, yeah... remember the guy who the Princess mentioned before? The one who I punched in the face?"
"Ah!" she snaps her fingers. "So I take it he has a bit of a grudge against you for that?"

"Yeah... for that and for beating him in the tournament finals, I guess. And when I ran into his brother the other day, he told me that the sword he used was an heirloom from his great-grandfather... I kind of shattered it."
"Oh my," Agnes gasps. "I suppose that -would- do it..."

"I feel kind of bad though, seeing him react like that," you say as you look in the general direction that he disappeared. "Maybe I should go and talk to him."
"I don't know if that's such a good idea..." Agnes says, turning to you. "Are you sure that he wouldn't react violently?"

There is a chance he would react badly and we would cause a scene. It would be bad if two people from granache caused a scene at the party when we are trying so hard to not cause any incident.

It may have just been the simultaneous realizations of "Reinhold was trained by Volker the Swordbreaker in the art of breaking swords, we wasn't just being a dick" and "Holy shit I've been picking a fight with the Eschenwald family what the fuck am I doing".

>>screw it, I'm gonna go look for Monique anyways
>>
>>29056691
>nah, a man needs alone time sometimes
It would be just plain idiotic knowing what Monique is like and after that warning.
>>
>>29056747
Yeah, listen to grandma on such matters.

>>29056691

Leave him alone for now.
>>
>>29056796
we at least know that granny know's monique's dad/grandpa since she dropped his name, we should still ask
>>
i honestly wouldn't mind finding him if it was some place he could lose his shit in private

if we confront him in the hall in front of a million people we'll cause an incident
>>
>>29056828
But if he was someplace private we'd be abandoning our job.

We've got to watch Marie, remember?
>>
>>29056838
tru dat

i just have a bad feeling about letting him wander off to brood
>>
I wonder if there's a way we could train to build a natural resilience to magicka.

I'm going to have to call it a night here, guys. Too tired to keep writing.
I'll try and do another thread tomorrow, though I'm not quite sure if/when it'll be since I may be doing family stuff for Christmas Eve.

Fun thread though, and thanks for playing!

Guys, what if Monique is related to Adrien an he's heard our story already without our name involved.
>>
>>29057965
That would sink my theory that Adrien is Luci's runaway brother but I don't know what would be better.
