"It's not exactly urgent like 'right now,' but I was kind of wanting to ask you about something, Your Majesty..." you mumble.
"Well I'm standing right here," Thierri shrugs, "so go ahead and spit it out."
"Umm, okay,"

After taking a deep breath to calm your nerves, you face the King once again.

"After what happened yesterday, are Granache going to be going to war?" you ask.
"Er, I was actually wondering the same thing," Marianne says. "I wasn't expecting Reinhold to ask, though..."

She glances at you like she's pleasantly surprised.

"Don't worry," Thierri shakes his head, "I'm, not about to send Reinhold back out there to Ancellotta if that's what the two of you were wondering. His job is to look after -you-, not to fight in wars."
"I see," Marianne says with a sigh of relief.
"From an objective standpoint, I probably shouldn't have even let him chase after Leopold yesterday," he says, shrugging, "but as a man, I didn't really have any right to stop him, you know?" he glances at you.
"I guess," you reply with a nervous chuckle.
"I mean, if -I- was in your position, I'd have punched me in the face if I even TRIED to tell me that I wasn't allowed to go rescue my girlfriend,!" he laughs.

Not to say it's unimportant, but I just can't imagine that any sort of 'war' Granache brings against Ancellotta is going to be the conventional grunts-with-boots-on-the-ground sort, so it'd be silly to try and get more details about it before they've really had a chance to think over the specifics.

>>38820850

Let's go to Greg's house and get terribly lewd with Luci in her room, while ignoring the fact that Marianne's right there with us.

>>38821341
We could ask him what the endgame is for the sword. Is it possible for it to fully ascend? All we know in character is that we didn't make Gran.

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised that she likes us doing this. Especially in front of Carina.

Although, I suppose that she did enjoy [talking politics with us/ranting politics at us] back at the last(?) outing.

>>38821963
Rana is now my waifu.

"That doesn't really answer my question though," you say with a nervous smile.

Not to be pushy, of course.

"Oh..." Thierri sighs, "sorry about that."
"The answer isn't something confidential, is it?" Marianne asks.
"Nah," he shakes his head. "By nature, stuff like that -can't- be confidential."
"I suppose we -would- know rather quickly whether or not soldiers get sent out..."
"Exactly," he says, patting her on the shoulder. "And as for Reinhold's question, my hand's kind of forced in this situation. Their agent kidnapped a member of Granache's royal family as well as a Princess who was under our care from our oldest ally... instigated several attacks on us... -not- doing something would make us seem like pushovers, and open us to further provocations down the line."

Of course, when you have an overwhelming advantage you have options besides just sacking them. Maybe not bloodless ones but decisive and efficient ones. After what Vincent did to them I can't imagine them putting up near as much of a fight.

>>38822002

"And to everyone who's paying attention, Vincent's rampage in their capital city yesterday served as Granache's declaration of war," Thierri says.
"I can understand how it could be seen as such," Marianne nods.
"Fortunately, we don't actually share any borders with Ancellotta so an all-out invasion isn't a threat to us."
"What about that thing with the Salamanders?" you ask,
"That won't work a second time," he says, shaking his head. "The Border Guard's watching the skies for anything of that sort."
"That's good to hear."

That old celebrity who you couldn't bear to see die in your lifetime? Dragon.

>>38822137
So Monique's competent former lieutenant is running things now at the border guard, right?

>>38822115
The question does come as to what is to happen to that country after it's eliminated. Absorbed by a neighbor, obviously, but which one, and what will become of the people?

>>38822149
Either there's some reason why this can't happen, or some group has tried it already.

>>38822137
>I can understand how it could be seen as such
That's very frigging astute of you, Marianne. I mean, he DID just wipe out half of their capital city and probably killed a large portion of their royal family. I'm glad you can see why they might not take too kindly to that.

>>38822190
That's a joke, Anon.

>>38822171
Another option is to rip out its ruling class and upper military, and populate it with lesser nobles and military leaders from a mix of the opposing countries. Not ruled by another country yet still secured by them cooperatively.

>>38822171
Divvy that shit up like post-WWII Germany until they're ready to run their own with no slaves and a Granache-Marconetti-Krassatto friendly, not-quite-puppet leader at the helm.

>>38822214
> install Rein and Luci as king and queen

>>38822205
>>38822214
That would cause its own set of problems. I think occupation with a governor appointed by those involved in the war to do post-WWII Japanese 'reconstruction' would work better depending on how bad the partisans and rebels turn out to be.

>>38822171
Execute the old nobility, build up a new one made of war heroes, prominent merchants, etc.

The peasants will deal, as they always do. Though in honesty, they're probably better off under new management.

>>38822137

"Anyways," Thierri says while stretching his arms, "Alberto's here to negotiate unified military actions against Ancellotta. Celestino's already sending people in there as we speak, as well as Krassato... Perricone wanted to stay out of this but apparently Leopold massacred border outpost there so that's every single country that they share a border with."
"Wow."
"Well be sending people in through our border with Marconetti, though I haven't decided how many troops I'll be dedicating to that just yet. So does that anawer your question, Reinhold?"

"Yeah, that pretty much covers it," you say. "Thanks."
"Marianne?" Thierri turns to his daughter.
"I have no more questions concerning the matter for now," Marianne replies.
"Alright," he nods. "what about you, Carina?"
"Huh?"

Carina looks up from her picture book.

"Father, -please-," Marianne groans.
"Hey," Thierri laughs, "it's rude to leave someone out of the conversation, regardless of how young they may be!"

>>38822489
He didn't attend those until AFTER he was potty trained, thank you very much.

Even of becoming king isn't a thing that happens in quest, it totally has to be an option in the vn. Although it actually makes most sense in Luci route...

>>38822510

I can picture it now, in forever alone route we're bros with all the awesome nobility yet leave their daughters alone. This makes them trust us more as we're not trying to get an in with them by marrying up. Instead they give us a country.

>>38822510
It makes most sense on the Marie route, since Rein would actually become a king at some point.

>>38822532
King of Granache, not King of Ancellotta.

>>38822542
Oh, didn't realise that's what you were aiming for.

Whoops.

>>38822530
Every goddamn thread somebody comes up with a cool idea for the single route but they never tie up with the other ideas.

>>38822532
>>38822542
Right, I was thinking rule of Ancellotta would work by being the heads from two involved countries. Everyone else who is an option is more about Granache.

>>38822510
>it actually makes most sense in Luci route...
I think it would still be feasible on the Nico, Karel and Sylvie routes, maybe Rana as well.

>>38822556
>wrestling

Only if we can german suplex Leopold.

>>38822556

I sort of imagined us in the bro route to hang out with Nick and try to get him more friends. I thought it would allow us to be closer with all the dads.

>>38822556
I'm ok with this.

>>38822556
And I'm ok with that.

>>38822559
>by being the heads from two involved countries
Well, Eschenwald is technically a Marconetti noble house, so you could play it like a union of Marconetti-Granache nobility with Rein and Nico, Sylvie or Karel.

>>38822542
>>38822532
Technically, King Consort

>>38822575
True, wasn't thinking of the technicality there just the working for Granache bit. I guess it's feasible in most routes then.

>>38822609
No, I think just straight up King.
I might be misremembering, but I think Thierri got rid of the "King Consort" title because he thought it sounded too sissy.

Carina simply shrugs and goes back to looking at the covers of her books.

"As fun as it was to chat with you all, I have some more letter writing to get to," Thierri says.
"Oh..." Marianne says with a slight frown, "sorry for intruding."
"Eh, it was a nice change of pace. Feel free to stop by later if you want, maybe I can show you the right way to use a halberd!"
"FATHER!"

You know that you shouldn't laugh.

But you do anyways. The threat of Marianne's wrath isn't enough to hold you back from enjoying this moment.

"Oh yeah," Thierri says, snapping his finger. "I was going to send for Luciana and Elena since their brother's here... I ought to do that now."

"You don't have to do that," you say.
"Hm?" Both Thierri and Marianne seem confused.
"Since Marianne's letting me take the lead for the day, I think that our next stop should be Sir Gregory's mansion," you reply. "And then we can bring them with us on the way back to the castle."
"You sure?" Thierri raises an eyebrow. "Because it'll take like five minutes to send a messenger bird over there."
"There's no sense in trying to dissuade him," Marianne replies. "He's already made up his mind."
"Alright, if that's what you want to do," he shrugs. "Have fun while you're over there."
"I'm sure that Reinhold will," Marianne sighs.

With a friendly wave goodbye, the King retreats into his office to take care of the letter writing that he mentioned before.

You waste no time in heading to the castle gate and finding a carriage to ride you out to Sir Gregory's mansion. While you feel kind of bad about not taking them along with you, this is probably for the better... after all, you'll be coming right back and then you'll have plenty of time to spend with everyone together.

Not to mention a certain announcement that you have yet to make public.

When the carriage comes to a stop, you help the two ladies down and lead the way to the front door. A few seconds after you knock on it, Rana greets you with an apologetic smile.

"Should've known it was you guys..." Rana sighs. "Sorry, but we JUST got done with breakfast."
"Don't worry, we already ate," Marianne replies.
"Oh, well that's a relief," she laughs. "C'mon in."

It's only right for us to say our hellos to our hosts before casually wandering away to find people. We're not quite THAT close where it's a total mi casa es su casa kind of deal, regardless of the cake baking incident.

Following Rana along the usual path, she leads you to the living room where you spot pretty much everyone who's currently living here (plus Andreas).

"Guess who's here!" Rana calls out, announcing your arrival. "The hero of the hour and his associates!"

Clapping "politely," Rana steps aside so that the three of you can enter the room. While the others laugh at her theatrics, Marianne just rolls her eyes...

And naturally, Luciana springs from her seat the second she sees you.

"Reinhold, what brings you here so early?" Luciana asks, greeting you with a kiss. "I was going to ride to the castle in a little bit, you know..."

"Well there -is- that," you say with a smirk, "but I also thought that Luciana and Elena might like to know that Alberto's at the castle right now."
"WHAT!?" both Princesses shout in unison.

You can't say that you weren't expecting exactly this reaction...

"Alberto's here1?" Elena gasps, her mouth completely agape. "For real!?"
"This isn't some kind of joke, is it?" Luciana asks, gripping your hands a bit tighter than can be considered pleasant.
"Not at all," Marianne shakes her head. "He's at the castle on business, but he also expressed interest in getting to see his sisters for the first time in over a month while he's here..."
"Inaba!" Elena shouts. "C'mon, we gotta get ready!"
"Ready?" Inaba asks.
"This's gonna be the first time that Alberto sees you like this!"

Elena takes her friend's hand and starts to drag her along with her.

"You need to change into that dress that Marianne bought you yesterday!" Elena says.
"...don't want to," Inaba pouts. "Want to wear this today."
"You wear that EVERY day!"

While Inaba is forcibly pulled upstairs by Elena, Andreas slumps back in his chair.

"I guess this means that I'll be heading back with the Prince," Andreas mumbles.
"Aww..." Guillaume groans. "You never got to show me your sword moves."
"Now now," Ariane ruffles her son's hair, "Andreas is sure to come back to visit once this mess with Ancellotta is over and done with. Isn't that's right?"
"I sure as hell hope so," he says with a weary laugh. "I'd almost forgotten why Gregory's always bragging about how good he has it here."

And with that, the Knight of the Starry Skies heads upstairs to gather his things.

"You're not going to go change too?" Marianne asks Luciana.
"And why would I do that?" Luciana replies. "I'll have you know that I am -always- presentable."

She wraps her arm around you.

"And I'm sure that Reinhold would agree that I'm lovely regardless of what I'm wearing..." she draws her face close to yours. "Isn't that right?"
"Yeah, you sure are," you shrug.

Lovely regardless of what she's wearing... or what she's -not- wearing.

"If Andreas is going to be leaving, I guess one of us ought to go with them to the castle," Reya says.
"Oh yeah," Rana nods. "Might as well report to the Prince too while we're there..."
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking," he replies.
"Since we're both on the same page here," Rana says with a wide grin, "that only leaves the question as to who gets to stay and who gets to go."
"Please no arm wrestling again," Ariane sighs. "I'd like to avoid the risk of any more furniture breaking."

You're not even sure why they'd even pick THAT as a way of settling anything...

"Just get someone else to decide," Bernard says.
"Who, like maybe the Princess?" Rana teases.
"N- no, I didn't say that!" he blurts out. "Just ask Reinhold, I don't think he'd mind!"

"Reya, I guess?" you reply with a shrug.
"Alright, I get to stay here!" Rana cheers. "C'mere and give me a victory hug, Guillaume!"
"What!?" Guillaume shouts. "Hey, cut it out!"

While Guillaume does his best to fend off the dragon girl's advances, his mother and brother watch on and laugh.

You'd be laughing too, but that's kind of rude.

"Guess I ought to get ready, then." Reya says while stretching his legs. "I really hope that Racquel isn't around today."
"If it helps any, I haven't seen her at all," you reply.
"That's a relief."
"Hmm..."

Luciana smiles to herself.

"Yes, this might be the perfect opportunity!" Luciana says, crossing her arms.
"For what?" Marianne asks.
"You'll find out soon enough," she giggles. "Isn't that right, Reinhold?" she winks at you.

That's it for this thread, folks. Sorry that I started so late...

Come back on Friday night for THE [END] OF PRINCESS GUARD.
I'll be running until the end of the in-game day, whenever that may be, regardless of how long it takes. The end is nigh.
I might run a final character epilogue thread, but yeah. The ride is finally coming to an end.


and now I take questions.

>THE [END] OF PRINCESS GUARD.
Even though I haven't liked these past few threads I'll be sad to see it go.

Thanks arch
Come on, what are some of the kids names?

>>38823753
Thanks for running Archelon, not just this thread, but all of them. I eagerly await the VN.

>>38823782
Volker, Citrine, Agnes, Volkerine, Volkerina, Citrion, Agnesse, Wolker, Citrusine, Citryen.

>>38823796
I wonder if Mari would want to name a daughter after her mother, now if we only knew what her name was.

>>38823753
So are you going to do 16 threads of epilogues, what-ifs?, and AMA's in order to allow PGQ to reach thread 300?

So if next thread is the last one u wont write scene when rein marry luci ?

>>38823809
She forgot.

>>38823753
It should end with an epilogue of sorts, not with 'just another ordinary day in the life of a bodyguard'

A Friendly Bodyguard's Life

>>38823831
I kind of want it to be a short epilogue, like a couple of years into the future at most, leave things semi open ended.

>>38823860
I imagined that the epilogue would be after their adventures and Luci would be pregnant or something.

I honestly want the epilogue to be multi part, first showing the immediate aftermath, then jumping princess adventures with nicolette, Luciana and Reinhold, then married life as pseudoroyal, then finish on children.

>>38823812
>So are you going to do 16 threads of epilogues, what-ifs?, and AMA's in order to allow PGQ to reach thread 300?
Heeeell no.

>>38823816

As important as it may be, I'm not really interested in writing out an entire wedding ceremony scene.

>>38823831
>It should end with an epilogue of sorts, not with 'just another ordinary day in the life of a bodyguard'
Duly noted.


And now it is time for me to go to sleep. Thanks for playing!

As if that doesn't already happen

I only follow arch for pgq so I really hope the VN happens.

>>38823894
>As important as it may be, I'm not really interested in writing out an entire wedding ceremony scene.
Agreed. Weddings are long, and much of it is not terribly interesting unless you're actually there.

The lucky couple being all cute on their wedding night after the ceremony would be better as part of the epilogue than the wedding itself, since you could compress anything interesting about the important event into some reflective chatting embedded in character moments.

As a side note, would you consider posting some more of the world building books that Rein was reading? I imagine it'd make a change of pace from VN writing/coding while still ultimately being useful for it, and would probably serve to keep things on people's radars better than just status updates on the core game. Though this being /tg/ I imagine more of us are into the nitty gritty of game construction than most audiences.

>>38823967
I hope so too. Fortunately, the turtle seems stubborn when it comes to writing.

Hell, I'd volunteer to help coding up the content if neccessary; Injecting the tags into a VN script isn't generally difficult, just tedious. The conditional logic is usually fairly straightforward as well, since most VNs lack any recursive components.

>>38824098
I know that if it happens it will take a while
And the most I can do is fund it.

>>38822258
Just so everyone's aware, this would have been the perfect time to ask if he got (read: enjoyed) the halberd Marie got him.

And then when he asks, "What Halberd," we can wallow in Marie's suffering while we explain and then she strangles us.

>>38823753
God speed you glorious turtle!

>>38823753
Thanks for running, Arch.
I can't believe we're so close to the end.
