Of course Agnes would know that Adrien was a Prince... Volker had been friends with both him and Sir Gregory since they were kids, apparently. You just wish that -you- had known about all this.

"I guess I should tell you that Adrien was able to avenge Volker," you say.
"He did?" Agnes's eyes widen with surprise. "...well at least now Volker's soul will be able to rest in peace," she sighs. "It would have been nice if he had actually taken the time to visit Marconetti and actually tell me that he did so..." she sighs.
"Also..." Luciana speaks up. "There's something else about him that I thought that you ought to know," she says, glancing at you like she wants you to follow her lead.
"Oh?" Agnes replies. "What, did he come back with a wife in tow?"
"Not quite," you say with a weary laugh. "He does have a kid, though..."
"What!?" the old woman gasps.

>>37577953
Probably that Rein has some deep seated great-grand-oedipal issues.

>>37577953
She'd think Karel is a better swordie than Reinhold so he should stay home with the kids once Karel's good to go back to the dueling circuit.

Or did you just mean her reaction to the pairing?

Holy cow, actually managed to make it to a PGQ thread again. Still working on writing the Kireihold rewrite when I get the chance, but I don't often get to. I don't suppose Kirei himself's had a chance to look over the little preview yet?

Kickass.

Part of me is going to be sorely tempted to recreate the /tg/ route through the game first time, because I imagine I'll be stricken with nostalgia for all you mad bastards.

>>37578321
That sounds good.

I was thinking of making a tree for the adopted-by-gregory mod that I'm going to make for it.

Been messing around with the route tree so I haven't been able to do that yet, sorry.

>>37578315
There's a bit that I haven't plotted out yet for Nicolette meeting Reinhold at the beginning like Melanie and Vincent did. As for Sylvie, she doesn't show up in the first day at all.

>>37578368
He said that he'd be reorganizing the order of some events to make it flow better, so it might not be entirely possible. But I suppose that would be the way to the end of Luciana's 'good' route. I assume that if we get the normal end here, we'll get a dojo and GO FOR THE GOLD, BABY.

That's because they've realized. It won't be Arch's motivation that stops the VN. It will be his living situation and hardship.

The VN will bring him salvation. It will bring him wealth. Just wait and see. We'll get a Gyrados.

Last line of the game. TINA: "I just remembered, this all happened before."

Or something to that effect.

>>37578536
Sad to say, you might be right in what will ruin archelon's dream. I hope it won't happen.
>>37578552
I hope so.
>>37578565
Works for me.

>>37578565
I think the worst part about Tina for Archelon is that it isn't entirely off base, what with the sentient sword.

>>37578565
I'd be willing to shell out twice as much if there's a hidden Tina* route that requires NO female flags whatsoever and hanging out with Niklaus to the exclusion of all else. So much fun.

*Tina meaning 'anthropomimetic crystal golem with no relation to the fapfic'.

>>37578371
>As for Sylvie, she doesn't show up in the first day at all.
Is the +1's for her because her dad will put in a good word for Reinhold when he gets home?

>>37578608
Well, I mean, there IS a planned ending with no girls. So you can have that, I guess.

>>37578536
Maybe he can make money off it? Get some good artwork going, sell it on mobile.

>>37578596
One day we'll find out how close our hypotheses were. One day.

>>37578624
Yup. Vincent talks with his family about the stuff that's happened throughout the day and Nicolette's best friends with Sylvie so the stuff that you do around them will get relayed to her secondhand.

"Yeah," you smile nervously. "Umm... you remember Karel, right?"
"P- Prince Emilio's bodyguard!?" Agnes gasps. "You don't mean..."
"Prince Raoul is Karel's father, yes," Luciana nods.
"Oh my..." the old woman closes her eyes and shakes her head. "So there's been a Prince acting as another Prince's bodyguard all this time..."
"Actually, no," you say. "There's been a Princess acting as a Prince's bodyguard all this time."
"...huh?" she furrows her wrinkled brow. "Are you trying to say that-"
"Yeah, Karel's a girl," you shrug.

Your words surprise Agnes so much that Citrine actually leans over and holds her for fear of the old woman falling over.

"She is," Luciana replies. "Uncle Gregory blurted it out to the entire world yesterday, but it seems that Reinhold knew long before any of the rest of us did," she says, cutting you a sharp glance.

"Hey," you shrug, "it wasn't my secret to tell."
"Even so..." Agnes takes a deep breath to try and calm herself down. "How long did you know that Karel was actually a girl?" she asks. "Since before the party?"
"No, I had no idea back then," you reply. "I found out in the middle of that assassin attack that happened like the day before we left."
"Oh, I see."

You can't blame her for being being this surprised, and now you're feeling guilty for having done the right thing.

"No wonder she was so excited to talk to me..." Agnes sighs. "...and considering what I went through when I was younger, I can't blame her for posing as a boy all this time."

You guess there's no harm in telling them now...

"Well," you sigh, "I was worried about what would happen if Karel got found out accidentally. There've already been a few close calls, and I wanted to make sure that she'd have someone other than me to back her up just in case, you know?"
"But she's the King's niece," Citrine says. "I can't think of more backup than that..."
"Yeah, but I didn't know that yet," you reply. "So I managed to convince her to confide in Ariane, since she's one of the nicest people I know..."
"...and then she told UNcle Gregory?" Luciana asks. "I'd have thought that it'd be something that she'd want her to keep a secret."
"Karel wasn't too happy about that either," you shrug.

And then he couldn't even keep it to himself for a full day.

>>37580612
Karel has probably never worn proper underwear so she'll never know the difference.

Tonight, we shall sketch a mother duck in a frilly dress being followed by ducklings in maid outfits. There will be a word bubble that says, "Good morning, Reinhold."

We shall show it to her tomorrow morning.

"Oh, but they did get her into a dress!" Luciana says, snapping her fingers. "She was so cute in it too!"
"Oh?" Agnes seems amused to hear this. "How cute are we talking here?"
"A lot like Marianne," you say. "Except with short hair... it wouldn't be hard to confuse them for sisters."
"Oh my!" she laughs. "Now I'm really regretting not getting here a day earlier..."
"Emilio seemed -quite- flustered to see her wearing it, too," Luciana says, smiling in that way she does when she's up to mischief. "

So all the time then

Now that Karel and Emilio are all but married, we set our gaze upon two other lovers-to-be.

How do we play Cupid with Agnes and Arnaud?

>>37581122
No, no, we need to get to Human with Marianne first.

>>37581122
We don't.

>>37581046
All the time she isn't roasting people or squeezing the life out of them

>>37581144
Truly, a waifu after our own heart.

>>37581122
$20 says Marianne ends up with dragon boy. And Sylvie... lets not talk about her.

>>37581122
>How do we play Cupid with Agnes and Arnaud?

I'm game. Lets do this.

>>37581166
>And Sylvie... lets not talk about her.
Why would anyone want to talk about worst girl?

But really, I've seen very little waifu hating from sylviefriends. That or they're not blatant about their preference when they do it. It's respectable either way.

>>37581122
Do you think one of these couples is going to meet with an unfortunate and tragic end? I wouldn't mind some rejoicing

>>37581019
Now is the time to unveil the drawing

>>37581231
>I've seen very little waifu hating from sylviefriends
What? who else do you think is behind the "Luci worst girl" crap every other thread?

>>37581166

He's sooooo handsome

>>37581267
Somehow I never considered that. You may be onto something.

>>37581267
Luci is worst girl. I was for Nico or Marianne. Best girls ignored for out of nowhere red headed harlot. I still mad.

>>37581319
Use whiskey!

>>37581319
>Arch is breastfeeding
Dawww...

>>37581286
Reya?

Have the two of them even had any interaction?

>>37581326
The hell's the matter with you? You don't give whiskey to babies. Your supposed to use brandy.

>>37581335
Almost certainly but nothing comes to mind.
He sort of keeps to himself whilst being smolderingly good looking. I can respect that, in your face, pretty boy Reinhold could learn a thing or two from Reya.

>>37581359
My dad used whiskey on me and my brother. Dab a bit on your finger and rub their gums.

>>37581319
How cute is the baby? It better be cute.

>>37581322
Holy fuck anon calm your tits, it has been about a year irl time since that happened.
That is without mentioning that Luci is a good choice for the Character.

>>37581335
Nope. This looks to be a kind of 'pair the spares' mentality here.

>>37581402
He's adorable and usually really good.
But, you know, teething.

>>37581388
So if Rein is a 3 on the pretty boy scale, where is Reya?

>>37581326
>>37581359
>whiskey
>brandy
>not a bottle of bootlegged Portuguese aguardente

Drink up, lil' faggot.

>>37581403
I'm calm.

I think she's a terrible choice for the character. I think Nico works best with an adjusted Rein. Sylvie would have been good. I think Marianne would have really developed well with him and they would have worked to better each others fears.

Luci in my opinion plays to the worst traits of Reinhold.

>>37581431
Solid 10 hunk.

>>37581019


"And then there's the way he ran after her after he said something stupid to hurt her feelings..." Luciana giggles.
"He did?" Agnes asks.
"Well considering that Karel seems to have a HUGE crush on him, I bet he was feeling particularly guilty."
"...she does?" Agnes gasps.
"Oh, I bet you'll be able to tell within a few minutes of seeing the way they interact now," she laughs. "Though I bet Reinhold knew about how Karel felt about him long before the rest of us..." she says, glancing at you.

All you can do is shrug.


>[2/?]

>>37581454
Rein needs to have a "It's nice when all the pieces fall into place line." Too many people underestimate because of his niceness and lack of high society learnings. It's good to remind them that we can be sneaky too.

>>37581454
>[3/3]

The ladies go on for a while longer, but you son grow tired of their Karel-related gossip so you decide to try and change the subject.

"Hey, Grandma?" you call out. "How were things in Marconetti when you left?"
"Oh, that's right!" Citrine holds a finger in the air. "I bet Luciana's really worried about her home..."
"Yes, I am," Luciana sighs. "And Father refrains from mentioning anything important in his letters."

Probably in an attempt to keep her from worrying about her home... but doing that only serves to make her imagine the absolute worst. She tries to put up a brave face around you, but you've noticed her facade break every so often.

>>37581890
Really? I thought Giancarlo stayed at home.

Oh well, I wonder how the world will cope with the sudden influx of red-haired half dragons.

>>37581883
I wonder who Cel deems worthy of marrying his kids if it doesn't further the Marconetti/Granache plot.

>>37581953
I would assume nobility he feels can strengthen the bonds between Marconetti and whatever nation the noble is from.

>>37581953
Just nobility to assure alliances and loyalty.

>>37581979
When you've got a very petty nobility, it's sometimes best to avoid marrying them into the royal family so as to avoid infighting among nobles for the marriage positions.

"Do you know anything about how Luciana's siblings are doing?" you ask.
"Erm..." Agnes scratches her head, "...I know that out of all of them, only Prince Alberto and Princess Benedetta are still in the kingdom. All the others have either been married off to foreigners or sent away like Lisette's children."
"Hm."
"As for them, I don't really pay much attention to how things in the castle are so I'm sorry to say that I couldn't help with anything specific," she says. "I did notice that Alberto was really stressed out when I went to the castle to get those adoption papers... this entire situation's really doing a number on him."
"I see..." Luciana scowls.

Seriously? I thought Giancarlo was the only one of them married. Did she even turn up for her brother-in-law's birthday party?

Luciana is Celestino's oldest unmarried child.

>>37582135

"It's probably from all the pressure," Luciana says. "Father's sure to be relying on him more than ever, and he doesn't have Giancarlo to help him like usual..."

Of course she wouldn't be happy to hear about that...

"What about the country itself?" Luciana asks. "Did the borders closing hurt things too much?"
"There was a big mess about a month ago when it first happened, but I haven't noticed any massive change as far as daily life goes," Agnes replies. "Just that it's a lot harder to get exotic foods and the like."
"I guess that makes sense..."
"As far as the country itself, things were kind of on edge as of late," Agnes says. "Celestino's managed to capture or kill all of those traitorous Guards and I think things are safe on that front, but they still haven't figured out who they're working for."
"I see," Luciana sighs. "Thanks for the information."

This reminds me. Speaking of things that we should have known, it's pretty obvious now that Karel had a huge crush on Leopold. See: thread 142.

>>37582490
>>37582332
Rein/Citrine "nobody else understands our shared trauma" route when?

>>37582517
I guess the nobody understands part could be the forever alone route. bad end scenario: rein snaps at everyone, goes out in a blaze of burning glory/hatred

>>37582507
Emilio finds out that karel preferred leopold to him, and convinces himself that the only reason she showed any interest at all is because he died.
Being Emilio is suffering.

>>37582507
Doubt it would have gone anywhere, he's like twice her age.

He's 28.

>>37582544
Isn't Celestino like several decades, if not a whole century, older then Lisette?

>>37582584
I think the logic is, the older you are, the less the difference matters.

The ladies spend the next hour or so going on about all the various things that Luciana misses about her home... after a while you just kind of zone out. You continue to daydream for a good while, at least up until your attention's drawn by Marius entering the living room with Carina.

"I was wondering where you'd gotten to," Citrine laughs. "What happened, did you take a nap?"
"Sorry," Marius smiles, looking kind of embarrassed. "Carina was looking around her new room and then I got inspired to sketch because of how cute it all was and then I kind of lost track of time," he laughs nervously."
"I drawed another picture too!" Carina says, holding up a pastel drawing of what you assume is you, Citrine, Marius, Agnes, Carina, Takamaru and Luciana all holding hands.
"That's cute!" Citrine giggles.

"So what brought you back to the real world?" Citrine asks. "Pencil break?"
"No," he sighs, "my stomach started growling."
"We're gonna eat now?" Carina asks. "Citrine, can you cook good like Nicolette's mommy?"
"I'm not the -best- cook, but I do try..." Citrine laughs nervously. "I guess I could cook something, or we could go out, or maybe I could grab something from a restaurant and bring it back home so that we can eat here? I don't know if Grnadma wants to go walking around outside right now..."

"If you want to bring something from a restaurant back over here, I can do that myself," you say to Citrine. "Besides, you're pregnant... you shouldn't be running all around like that."
"C'mon," Citrine rolls her eyes. "I'm still really early along and I can do everything that I could normally do. Honestly, it's not like I'm an invalid..."

It takes a lot of willpower to keep from laughing at the fact that she's pouting in the same way that Carina does.

"Still though," you shrug, "it's not a problem for me to do at all. Just tell me where to go and I'll pick up whatever you want."
"Just let you little brother spoil you for a change, Citrine," Marius laughs.
"Yeah, yeah..." Citrine mumbles.

Taking the sketchbook from her husband's hands. Citrine rips a blank page from the back and scribbles up some directions for you, as well as the specific entrée that she wants you to get.

"Here," she says, shoving the paper in your chest. "The place is close-by so you shouldn't get lost."
"Alright," you nod.
"Now just let me to get my purse..."

Citrine starts to move towards her bedroom, but you grab her arm before she can get too far.

"That won't be necessary," you say. "I'll foot the bill."
"You don't have to do that," Citrine says, shaking your head. "It's bad enough that you're going out there to get the food yourself..."
"Eh, I want to," you reply. "And this way, I get to treat my grandmother to the first meal of her stay here in Granache!"

It is a matter of pride for you.
