"I really wish I could have gotten a chance to have KArel try something on, though..." Marianne says with a wistful sigh. "She really is a cute girl, and I wish she'd expand her wardrobe some more in order to take advantage of that fact."
"Well I think you've already burnt that bridge," you reply. "She seemed pretty pissed at you, you know?"
"For the fourth time, that was for her own good," Marianne says, rolling her eyes at you. "I'm sure that even -you- can understand how important... support is, yes?"

You stare at her, stunned that she'd even bring up such a subject up when talking to you.

"What, don't act so surprised," Marianne says as she starts rifling through another dress rack. "From your lack of hesitation in helping me with my own wardrobe issues back in Marconetti, I could tell even then that you're no stranger such things."
"Well yeah," you stammer, "but still, don't you think that-"

Nope, time to drop it.

You glance across the store and spot Emilio holding a horrifyingly gaudy jacket up to his body while Karel laughs at him. You're pretty glad that she seems to have bounced back from the indignity that is getting fitted for -those- as quickly as she seems to have done.

"What are you smiling about?" Marianne asks, looking right atr your face.
"Huh?" you quickly turn back to your ward.
"That's the same look that -Violette- gets when she's admiring her handiwork," she replies. "Now tell me what you did," she says, crossing her arms.

Oh, so -that's- what she's talking about.

"Nothing," you shrug. "Just, y'know, looking at those two over there," you gesture your head over to where Karel and Emilio are.
"...oh," Marianne sighs.

"What do you think, Miss Marie?" you ask in a half-mocking tone.
"What do I think of what?" Marianne replies, completely unamused.
"Of those two getting together."
"I think it's nice that now I won't have him pining after me anymore," she says, rolling her eyes.
"C'mon, I'm asking your honest opinion here."

Though in retrospect, you should have expected her to be sarcastic about it.

"........." Marianne lets out a long sigh. "I -guess- it's cute," she says. "And since she already liked him to begin with, the only issue is whether or not he'll screw things up for himself..." she says, glancing over at the two of them. "I do hope things work out between them, though."
"That's pretty nice of you," you reply.
"I'm nowhere nearly as heartless as you think I am... though I suppose I was also wrong about you."
"Eh?"
"Clearly you masterminded this entire thing," she says, shaking her head. "She wouldn't have been outed as a girl when she was if not for -your- meddling... and I bet you'd been coaching her concerning her lovelife long before that even happened."

The order was a bit wrong, and too much attention focused on Karel at the time.

"Yes, I knew she was Adrien's daughter, just not who Adrien was, well before anyone else. After that it was obvious who she was interested in too. My only difficulty was keeping it in the shadows without Lucianna thinking I was cheating on her down the road. Of course, Gregory 'revealing' her true nature was certainly helpful. I expected him to be an ally when I told Ariane, not to become such a wonderful cog in my machine."

Well, Adrien appearing meant Greg spilled the beans faster than planned which wasn't great for Karel's stress, but by and large all has gone according to plan.

>>37984681
Given that a large part of the thread was making decisions based on the assumption that Adrien was probably Raoul, we can probably consider Rein to have suspected even if he wasn't about to bank on it.

I wonder if it would be better or worse in the long term if we hadn't told Gregory.

>>37984797
Goddammit. I read it in his voice.

>>37984920
Worse. Celestino is distrustful of us so it was really a lot better that Gregory outed her. He's unlikely to find out about our role in things. Also, Emilio and Karel now have plenty of time to date each other. If it happened in Marconetti it'd be a lot harder to justify keeping them together in a casual atmosphere, and you'd also probably have bodyguards in the way.

>>37983928
Yeah... I've considered doing occasional sidestories with other characters from the "main story" of this setting but then I remember that most of them end with said character (or their loved ones) dying and no.

If Gregory didn't find out until later,

More then likely, they would have been found out anyways, just instead of making Karel sit around feeling embarrassed, it would have been done in a more comfortable setting.

Adrein comes back, Therri would have likely found out and then had a talk to put her at ease and Karel would have been ease into it, instead of making everything a big fat embarrassing family gathering all at once.

It would have delayed it like a day or so, that's it.

Doesn't a part of you want to be sitting in a chair in Celestino's office and go on at great length how you paired Emilio and Karel together to combine the nations - and ensure the new ruler had significant ties to you as the true power behind the throne?

"Oh course," Marianne sighs.
"I suppose I should be thankful that you're not trying to set -me- up with anyone, at least..."
"Why, was there someone who you were interested in?" you ask, smiling ear to ear.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT."

You take her physically pushing you away as a sign that maybe you ought ot hold off on any more teasing along those lines.

"Now if you've had enough fun," Marianne says, "I -did- have an actual reason to be over here that's completely unrelated to romantic matters."
"...oh yeah," you say with a nervous smile. "Inaba's dress."
"So you did remember after all."

With that, Marianne returns to looking through the rack of little girls' dresses.

"So you think she'd maybe like a nice simple dress... or maybe she'd prefer something more in the style of the area where she was born?" Marianne asks.

I don't think Inaba will mind either one since many eastern dresses can be worn properly without sandals/shoes. If anything I'd suggest a simple-eastern style one without a sash, but that's pretty much splitting the line.

"Maybe something simpler," you say. "If you got her anything too restricting, I dunno if she'd actually wear it."
"Good point," Marianne replies. "Simple it is..."

Marianne spends the next twenty minutes or so scouring dress rack after dress rack, handing you several different dresses only to take them back a few seconds later because they seemed "wrong." And while you're definitely used to this kind of thing, that doesn't make it any less annoying.

"Maybe we could come back later?" you ask.
"No, there's got to be -something- here that's suitable as a gift for her," Marianne replies with an exasperated sigh.

"Probably," you shrug. "I don't see why she wouldn't be."

Arch, does our party have any idea where they're going adventuring when the they go adventuring?
Is there like some sort of agreed historical to-do list of places to visit when on an adventure?

>>37987680

Sweet important person....

>>37988171
I figure the use of "adventuring" is closer to the exploration-and-odd-jobbery definition than the post-collegiate-euro-trip definition.

>>37988236
While some of it is doing jobs at the guild, you can probably go to foreign places to do so.

>>37988277
"Adventuring" is just noble talk for taking a vacation in a foreign land.

>>37988236
I get the feeling it's somewhere in between.
Rein, Nico, Rana, Reya, they probably lean towards the former, but when you've got actual princesses in tow, motherfuckers be like "Come to my city and stay in my horribly ostentatious palace."

>>37988171
Pretty sure Luci has burn down Cateno on her list

After Marianne hands you the dress that she's picked out for Inaba, the two of you make your way towards the counter. Unsurprisingly enough, there's a rather large bag already waiting for her when you get there, surely filled with Karel's unmentionables.

"Your cousin's-" the attendant begins to say, but is cut off.
"I'll be paying for everything myself today," Marianne replies. "Those are more or less a gift for her..."
"Ah, of course!" she replies with a nervous laugh.

While the attendant tallies up the final price of everything that Marianne's buying, Emilio and Karel finally rejoin the two of you.

"You're done here?" Emilio asks.
"Yup," you reply. "You guys aren't getting anything for yourselves? Not even that nice coat I saw you holding up a little while ago?"
"Wha-" Emilio's face turns red. "You saw that!?"

>Dear Papa,

>Reinhold took our travelling party to the quaintest little spot today, a delightful fishing village by the name of Cateno. It's where he said he'd grown up before becoming a swordsman. Each street and every corner is filled with rugged, local charm. A hungry man can simply take what he needs, free of charge, and many of the women here are so... affectionate. We stayed until the sunset, our eyes dazzled by a brilliant display of yellows and oranges. Such was the warmth of Cateno, it was as if we could almost feel it radiating from the town as we watched from our vantage point just outside.

>shoot Emilio a meaningful look, then go to pick up the bags
It's fine if he doesn't, I suppose, but it'd be worth seeing if he's going to continue with the trend of starting to take initiative.

And then we get to let him know what was in the bag he was carrying around all day later on, which will be the double-fluster combo.

>>37988662
Not her style. It would be more like the town is hit with a freak and extremely local tsunami. Then the fire broke out. To bad all possible help was busy with other matters and could not help.

>>37988760
Clearly it is the job of her brother to carry her lingerie. Next, we need to make sure to drop a pair of panties and then pick it back up and put it in our pocket since the bag is a bit too full. Then during lunch when Emilio sneezes we completely forget it's there and offer him a handkerchief.

"Naturally," you say as you turn up your chin in imitation of certain arrogant members of the nobility who you met while in Marconetti, "I felt the need to keep an eye on things in order to make sure that you wouldn't try anything untoward while alone with my close personal friend there," you point at Karel. "And as for that coat, I could see that thing from across the street," you say with a smirk. "Though I have to admit that I didn't know that you had such... loud tastes in clothing..."
"C- c'mon, man!" Emilio pleads with you while Karel chokes back laughter.

You continue to get a few more laughs in at Emilio's expense while Marianne checks out, and a few minutes later she turns away from the counter while pointing at two bags of clothing.

Of course she doesn't intend to carry -anything- herself.

With a sigh, you take a few steps towards the counter and reach for the two bags that await you. But before you're able to take them, Karel rushes in and snatches the larger one up and away from your reach.

"Iiiiii can carry my own bags!" KArel shouts, her face bright red.
"Alright," you reply with a shrug.

Though you honestly wouldn't have minded, you fully understand why Karel would be averse to you lugging around a bag filled with such "delicates."

"Uh," Emilio turns to her, "...should I...?"
"Hell no!" Karel stammers.

While Karel makes no attempt to hide her embarrassment, you glance over at Marianne. And of course she's enjoying every minute of this.

"Alysse," Marianne says with a mischievous smirk, "I've been told that having one's boyfriend hold your bags is something of a tradition..."
"Hhhhhe's not-" Karel stammers.
"Wh- what do you mean b-" Emilio blurts out.

You can't help but laugh at the two of them as they fumble to explain to Marianne... whatever the hell they're trying to say. You quit trying to figure it out after a while and just soak in the sweet sweet embarrassment.

And once again, you wish that Luciana was here to enjoy it along with you.

Once they finally calm down, you all leave the store and move on to your penultimate destination: somewhere to get lunch!

You allow the two potential lovebirds to stew in their embarrassment without further provocation as you follow Marianne to some cafe that she insists has excellent food for a date. surprisingly enough, when you get there she actually tells the two of them to sit at a table by themselves while you share a table off to the corner with her.

"See?" Marianne says as she takes her seat. "I am perfectly capable of giving the two of them their privacy."
"...I can see that," you reply, looking at over at the two of them fumble their orders with the waitress who's attempting to serve them.
"And?"
"And what?"

You turn away from the other table and are met with Marianne's usual annoyed expression.

"...never mind," she sighs.

>>37989792
>Is there a legal difference?
Intent maybe?

Citrine was had a shit life where she was pretty much getting raped damn near each day and then when she wasn't some pricks kick her shit in

Rein should have killed them on principle alone.

>>37989792
Strictly by the book? Probably not, it's premeditated murder either way.

Is a jury going to give a death penalty to a guy who hunts down and murders random people? Probably.

Is a jury going to give more than a slap on the wrist at worst to an orphan who stabbed the guys who beat his sister? Probably not.

And that said, the mitigating circumstances are probably enough that the more extreme punishments aren't likely to even come up for consideration.

OH.

"...and I was wrong," you say.
"What was that?" Marianne asks. "I didn't catch what you said."

Why did you think that she'd let this go easily?

"I was wrong to think that you wouldn't let them have their own privacy," you say with a long sigh, "I was worried about you maybe doing something to ruin their date, but I guess I shouldn't have been."
"Oh ho?" Marianne smirks at you. "Very well, apology accepted."

That was unpleasant.

Now that that's out of the way, you might as well try and change the subject.

"So what about you?" you ask.
"Eh?" Marianne narrows her eyes. "Me?"
"Yeah," you reply. "Are you enjoying your day off?"
"As a matter of fact, I am," she says, a faint smile on her lips. "It's a welcome break after how stressful yesterday was."
"Stressful?"
"Ugh, yes," Marianne rests her head on the table. "There was the matter of where those Salamanders originated and whether or not their appearance was purposeful... then talk of war..."
"War?"
"...I don't really want to get into that, sorry," Marianne mumbles. "Things aren't looking good, though... I doubt our friends will be able to go home any time soon."

"I was afraid of that," you say as you lean back in your seat.
"Yes..." Marianne sighs, "...and then there's the matters concerning my uncle's return and everything that that brings..."
"Did he get beat up again?" you ask
"Only figuratively," Marianne laughs. "But yes, things are rather rough at the moment. Being able to get away from things like this really does help, you know?"
"Yeah, I bet," you nod.

It's definitely been a long time since you've seen her relax like this.


>[3/?]

>>37990182

Since he's explicitly out of the line of succession, wouldn't that be next to nothing?

>>37990203
She's talking about family drama as opposed to anything official. You know, like suddenly having a new relative out of the blue.

>>37990203
yes, but Angelique likely made it a point to visit the castle if only to yell at him yesterday in game. Since he was likely with the king, and Marianne was most definitely with the king, Marianne likely got a front seat to the bitchfest.

After a waitress arrives with your food (a sandwich for Marianne and both that and a bowl of soup for yourself), you continue talking.

"And how are things going with you?" Marianne asks just before taking a dainty bite out of her sandwich.
"Uh, alright?" you reply, shrugging. "Pretty great, actually. What with my grandma visiting and the formal adoption and all that."
"I see," she nods. "and what about your girlfriend?"
"Things with her are going great too, I guess."
"She's not moving too fast for you, is she?"

There's no way in hell you can tell her about what happened last night, especially with that look of concern in her eyes... you've seen the same thing from Citrine more times than you care to think about it.

"...it's nothing I can't handle," you reply with a nervous chuckle.
"Alright then," Marianne replies. "As long as you remember that -you'll- be the one who really suffers should she pressure you into anything."
