"Well..." Nicolette says as she stretches her arms, "Now that Luciana's gone, I am officially free for the night."

Breathing a long sigh of relief, Nicolette pats you on the back as she starts towards a nearby stairwell.

"C'mon, Melanie!" Nicolette waves.
"I'll be right there!" Melanie replies, hurrying after her.
"Hey, wait!" you call out.
"Huh?"

Just as Melanie reaches her, Nicolette stops and turns back around to face you.

"Sorry, Reinhold..." Nicolette says, blushing slightly. "I know that you probably want to hang and stuff, but we've got plans and-"
"No, that's not it," you shake your head. "I saw how much you liked the food at that Eastern restaurant, so I got you this."

Reaching into your bag, you pull out the cookbook and hand it to Nicolette.

"Huh?" Nicolette looks at the cover. "What's this?"

"It's a cookbook with a lot of recipes for the same kind of food that we had at that restaurant," you say. "If Melanie used this, you'd be able to eat sushi and stuff without having to go all the way out into the city."
"Uh..." Nicolette stares at the book, and then at you. "...wow, Reinhold. That's really thoughtful of you."
"Hmm, I wonder if her mother would let me use her kitchen..." Melanie mumbles to herself as she flips through the cookbook. "The kitchen here in the castle is nice and all, but I'd rather not have to explain why..."

Wow, it looks like Melanie's already taking this seriously.

"So you'd be willing to...?" Nicolette turns to Melanie.
"Of course I would," Melanie replies. "I'd hate for Reinhold's gift to go to waste, and I'd also like or get the chance to cook something that you'd enjoy... I might need to ask your mother or brother to help out, but I'd still like to at least try these recipes out," she says with a warm smile.
"Ehehe, Melanie's cooking..." Nicolette giggles to herself.

And then she stomps over to you.

"This is a really awesome gift, buddy!" Nicoltte slaps you on the shoulder. "I owe you one!"
"don't worry about it, I was jusst trying to do something nice for a friend," you reply.
"Still, though... I'mma make this up to you somehow, alright?" she says as she hurries back to Melanie's side. "See you later!"

Waving goodbye, the two girls hurry down the hallway and out of sight.

Your giftgiving is all done with, so you guess it's time to get to your other plans for the night: hanging out with Karel and Emilio. Though they left the dining hall before you could decide on a place to meet up, you're sure that you'll be able to find them somewhere around here. And worst-case scenario, you can just walk to Karel's room and bug her while you're in there. It's not like it's anything different from what your usual routine, after all...

And so, you start down the hall in pursuit of your girlfriend's little brother and his bodyguard who is secretly a girl who also has a secret crush on him.

Poor Karel.

You should put Luciana and Reinhold and Melanie and Nicolette next to each other.

Also probably Adrien not too far off from Marianne. And Angelique somewhere close.

>>35232045
>[2/2]

As you walk along, you try and make a mental list of the places in the castle where your two friends could potentially be at this hour. You're so deep in thought that you almost don't notice a certain someone as he steps out of a room just as you pass.

Almost.

"Whoa!" you exclaim as you hop backwards in order to avoid running into them.

And then you get a good look at just who that certain someone is.

"Y- Your Majesty?" you stammer.
"Oh, sorry about that," Thierri laughs. "Just walked Marianne back to her room and then I took care of some last minute stuff with Anatole since he's getting sent to Marconetti tomorrow... so how're you doing?" he asks. "Didja get another kiss from Luciana as thanks for walking her to her carriage?"

Your immediate impulse is to give the King an affirmative nod. And once you realize that you basically told him about what was supposed to be a private matter, you can't help but start laughing nervously.

"Don't sweat it, Reinhold!" Thierri laughs. "Most guys would be bragging to everyone who'd listen if they were in your situation, you know? You've got a beautiful -princess- girlfriend who's totally devoted to you... that's something to be proud of!" he says, slapping you on the back so hard that you nearly fall over.
"Yeah, I just, uh..." you start mumbling.
"Eh, I get you," he nods. "Being all humble like that is probably what helped you land her in the first place."
"I guess so," you shrug.

>>35232980

"But yeah, you're a lucky guy..." Thierri says, solemnly nodding to himself with his eyes closed. "...getting goodnight kisses just for walking her to her carriage and all."
"Well gifts were involved too," you reply with a nervous chuckle.
"Oh?"
"Umm, yeah," you nod. "I got her some books, and she really liked them."

Best not to say what kind of books they were, just in case.

"Oh yeah, Luciana always was a bit of a bookworm," Thierri replies. "That must be why she and Marianne get along so well, since I can't really think of anything else that they have in common," he laughs.

>[2/?]

>>35233070
I had completely forgotten about Rein's magic practices before beddy-byes.
This day has gone on forever, not that I'm complaining.

>>35233093
Luciana is a childhood friend Marianne has an excuse to hang out with while still having little official stuff to deal with when they do so.

Also Luciana get behind Marianne's barriers just as easily as Reinhold do so with Karel's.

That would be my guess.

i said earlier the why rinehold could be able to marry both the princesses but your all forgetting both kingdoms are at ends with another kingdom that uses slave him marrying both would technically unite both kingdoms give Luciana's father exactly what he wants both kingdoms united

With the pace this story is traveling at, I'm expecting Reinhold to go on some sort of spirit quest to find an epiphany about the nature of magic that'll last like a thread and a half before he goes to bed.

>>35233093
>[3/3]

"So you got her some books, huh..." Thierri nods. "I guess that means that that money I handed you served its purpose?"
"Yeah, it did," you reply. "It paid for lunch for everyone, gifts for Luciana, Nicolette and Melanie... and the cake for Marianne."
"Good man."

If we don't get on Karel's track soon we'll enter another one of those conversation time-warps and be stuck talking to Thierri for 10 threads.

Not that I'd complain about that, but priorities.

"Oh yeah..." you mumble as you reach into your pocket. "...here's what was left over," you say, bringing out a mostly-full bag of coins.
"Wow, you actually brought back my change!" Thierri laughs. "Now let's see..." he mumbles to himself as he opens up the bag and examines the contents.

Suddenly, he closes the bag and looks you dead in the eye.

"Reinhold..." Thierri says, shaking his head.
"Y- yes, Your Majesty?" you choke out, worried as to why his demeanor suddenly shifted.
"How much did I give you this morning?" he asks.
"I- I'm not sure what the exact amount was, but it was a lot..."
"And what did I tell you to use this money for?"
"To show everyone a good time?"
"That's right," he nods.

The King closes the money pouch and stows it away in his pocket.

"When I handed you a ridiculous amount of money and told you to show your friends a good time, how much money do you think I expected you to spend?"
"S- sorry, I used it to pay for a lot of things, and the earrings that Nicoltte and Melanie got were kind of expensive..."
"That's not what I mean," he says, resting a hand on your shoulder.
"...it isn't?"
"Nope," he shakes his head. "Now YOU are a young man who went out into town with his special someone and other friends... all of them girls."
"That's right," you nod.
"And I gave you a large sum... and you gave me back THIS," he says, patting his pocket hard enough for you to hear the coins inside it jingle around. "I have to say, I'm really disappointed in you."

Letting go of your shoulder, Thierri turns around so that his back is to you.

"Girls are EXPENSIVE!" Thierri says, throwing his arms up in the air. "And girls born into nobility are even more so!"
"Um..."
"I gave you that money with the expectation that you'd spend at LEAST a quarter, if not half! But you treated it as if it was a loan when I was giving you an allotted BUDGET!"

>>35233648

"I'm not sure what you mean-" you stammer.
"I was hoping that you'd spend more, kid," Thierri sighs.
"I'm sorry," you reply. "But, uh- I think I spent more in the past afternoon than I have over the entirety of my entire life put together."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it," he shakes his head. "And it looks like everyone enjoyed what you got them, so it's all good in the end."

...so you're -not- in trouble?

"Eh, just take this as a lesson for the future," Thierri says. "In case I toss you a huge sack of money again."
"Er, sure thing," you nod, unsure what else you should even say right now.

You never expected having money to be so complicated.

"So!" Thierri claps his hands together. "Luciana liked whatever you got her enough to give you a goodnight kiss? Was that -all- that happened?" he asks.

Is that eyebrow raised in suspicion or curiosity or what?

"Um... she also said that she loves me..." you mumble as you feel your face get kind of hot.
"Whoa, really!?" Thierri shouts. "And I take it that this is the first time that she's told you this?"
"Yeah," you nod.


>[3/?]

>>35233783
We can ask him for the sack of money back and go spend more of it if he wants.

>>35233811
He probably saw it for himself during his adventuring days and just decided to enjoy being rich as much as possible.

>>35233827
Given how happy we managed to make them with a minimal amount, we could probably get harem route if we spent everything.

To be fair, he could have raised most of this money in his adventuring days, it's not like his country has enough people to have a tax base you can be filthy rich off.

"I, uh... I'm not really sure what to do, though..." you say to the King.
"Haha, I can imagine!" Thierri says, laughing as he playfully punches your upper arm with his massive fists. "When Marianne's mother said that to me the first time, I could have died right there on the spot..."

It's hard to imagine this guy ever being embarrassed about ANYTHING.

"So, what did you say back?" Thierri asks.
"Nothing..." you mumble.
"Ha, I knew it!" he laughs. "Not sure how to respond, I take it?"
"Pretty much, I guess," you shrug.
"Well do YOU love HER?"
"I dunno..." you start fidgeting. "I mean, I like her a lot and she's really nice and pretty and I like the way she gets all giggly when she's excited..."
"Hm," Thierri nods. "So you're not sure about your own feelings, then."
"I guess not."

You wish this horribly awkward feeling would just GO AWAY.

"Eh, I've been there and so has Gregory," Thierri says. "Vincent too, though he was a lot worse since I don't think that he even had any understanding of romantic feelings at all until Angelique went on the attack," he laughs.

"Just give it time and don't rush things too much and you'll be fine," Thierri says.
"Yes sir," you nod.
"And now I should probably go about writing that letter to Celestino about what Luciana did with that cake..." Thierri says as he walks by you.
"W- what!?" you stammer.

There's only one way you can imagine him reacting, and it involves longrange magical MURDER.

"Ha, just kidding!" Thierri laughs. "I do have to go, so I'll see you later..."
"Umm, one thing before you go," you call out.
"What is it?"
"You wouldn't happen to have seen Karel and Emilio walking around, have you? I was supposed to hang out with them tonight, but I don't know where they are..."
"Oh, I saw them duck into one of the libraries," he replies. "The main one that Marianne frequents the most, I mean."

And with that, the King waves goodbye to you as he wanders off down the hallway and out of sight.

Without any delay, you hurry over to the library before Karel and Emilio end up wandering off to somewhere else. It seems that your timing in deciding to do was perfect, as you practically run into the two attempting to exit as you walk inside.

"Hey, Reinhold," Karel says, waving to you.
"Oh, hi..." Emilio waves to you. "I forgot that we were supposed to do stuff tonight."
"Well we don't have to if you're not up to it," you shrug. "I don't want to be a nuisance or anything."
"No, it's fine," he shakes his head.

Does granache have board games for three people or something similar?

We should hang out in the barracks, maybe we can all do some exercising or sparring or just goofing around with the guards.

"So what're you guys up to in here?" you ask.
"I saved Gerhard a piece of cake so I wanted to get it to him before it went stale," Karel replies.
"Oh, that was a pretty nice thing to do."
"Yeah, those two are like best friends now," Emilio shrugs.

That's not too surprising, seeing as how Gerhard's been going out of his way to help Karel out as of late... like with that whole water incident.

"What, are you jealous?" Karel teases.
"Yeah right," Emilio sighs. "Just surprised, that's all."
"Well he helped look after my Mom back when all that shit went down back home, so I kind of owe him," she shrugs. "And he's a pretty alright guy once you get to know him."

"What about you?" Emilio asks as he turns to you. "What have you been up to?"
"Probably making out with your sister again," Karel laughs.

Your only response is silence.

"C'mon..." he slumps over.
"What, I didn't even say anything," you reply.
"No, but I can tell," Emilio sighs.
"What, they're a young couple in love!" Karel says, slapping the Prince on his back. "What's wrong with them acting like it?"
"Of course YOU don't care," he rolls his eyes, "you were watching them making out downstairs while giggling and squirming around all gifddy like some kind of girl."
"Well excuse me for-"

"So much for that plan," Emilio shrugs.
"Unless you absolutely WANT to see me puke all over the place..."
"No, I'll be happy to never see that, thank you very much," he sighs.

If it doesn't you're not doing it right.

"Well maybe we could go exploring the castle?" you say. "I'm sure there's places around here that you haven't seen..."
"Fine with me," Karel shrugs. "Emilio?"
"A guided tour? Alright," Emilio replies.

Having quickly decided on a destination, the three of you leave the library and make your way out into the halls.

"I have to say," Emilio says as he looks around, "It's really hard to get used to how many fewer maids and guards there are in the castle here as compared to back home."
"I found it kind of weird that you guys had so many," you reply. "And we might not have a ton of maids and guards, but Melanie and Nicolette make sure the ones we do have are doing their jobs..."
"I guess it's really going to suck when those two quit their posts and move to Uncle Gregory's house full-time," he shrugs.
"Huh?" Karel turns to him. "Why would they do that?"

>>35234849

Doubt that'll happen anytime soon.

>>35234849

"Well Elena told me that those two are a couple or whatever and that Aunt Ariane said that she'd be more than happy to have her move in with them, so..."
"Uh..." Karel starts blushing. "...wow, I had no idea..."
"You need to pay more attention," he replies. "And Nicolette used to have a HUGE crush on Luciana back when we were little so it's not a real surprise to me that she ended up with a girl instead of a guy... though I wasn't expecting her to fall for a maid."
"Melanie's a really nice girl," you say, "and-"
"I- I didn't mean anything bad by it!" Emilio stammers. "It's just that Luciana's a princess and her personality's totally different from this Melanie girls, so I'm just wondering what exactly Nicolette's type is, you know?"
"...oh."

You almost went off on him there.

"speaking of which..." Emilio crosses his arms. "What's -your- type, Karel?"

Karel nearly falls over.

While the temptation to tease Karel yourself definitely is strong, you'd also like to avoid pissing off any more of your friends today. As such, you decide to do the exact opposite and come to the rescue.

"I can answer that for him," you say.
"Huh?" both Emilio and Karel turn to you.

Now to try and figure out how to word it...

"Wait, he's actually talked to YOU about his type before?" Emilio asks, a look of pure shock on his face. "What the heck, I thought that we were supposed t po be best friends!"
"I- I didn't-" Karel stammers. "I mean, maybe I kind of did but-"
"Karel's into the shy type," you say, speaking up before she ends up fainting or something. "The kind of person that he can try and push towards opening up, you know."
"Ohhh..." Emilio snaps his fingers. "The same way that he's always trying to help me, I get it."

No, he really doesn't.

"Y... yeah, that's right..." Karel nods, her face gradually returning to its normal color.

You're half-expecting him to just say "Marianne."

"Um..." Emilio starts mumbling, "...I like, uh... smart girls, I guess... strong-willed and not worried about what stupid people think of them... the kind of girl who wouldn't be afraid to tell someone when they're screwing up, I guess," he says. "As far as looks go, I guess I like a pretty face... a chest on the smaller side... and blonde hair is nice, but I guess that's probably the least important thing."
