I am Monique Gilbeault, a man of style and grace. Though I am my father's third son and thus have no claim to anything save the family name, I am the most accomplished of my father's children.

The only one of us to have truly inherited the skills of my great grandfather, the reknowned duelist Marquise Gilbeault, I have managed to achieve the rank of Captain of the Border Guard of my home country of Granache through naught save my own abilities.

I also placed second in His Majesty's Royal Swordsmanship Tournament, though I lost in the final round because that whoreson Reinhold shattered the blade that I inherited from my great-grandfather on his deathbed... I have yet to pay him back for that disgrace.

The past few days have been a welcome change from the usual tedium of my daily life, as my brother and I are currently visiting the kingdom of Marconetti, our homeland of Granache's oldest ally.

So angered by my most shameful moment being paraded in front of EVERYONE, I lost my cool and challenged that wh- that FOOL Reinhold to a duel... fortunately, King Celestino wasn't offended by my outburst and even went so far as to declare our duel to be an official event!

This is going to be wonderful, I now have the chance to show everyone the fruits of my labor... I do admit that things could have just as easily went horribly, though. I definitely need to be more careful in the future.

In any event, the party's come to an end... Matthias and I are currently loitering in the hallways along with his new friends, the royal family of Kinsen.

Oh, and Randolf and his lovely wife have deigned to join us as well.
>>
"You certainly managed to win over quite the beauty, Randolf," I say to my old friend, the Crown Prince of Krassato. "I'm regretting missing your wedding more than ever."
"Hey, you had Border Guard responsibilities to attend to. I get it," Randolf replies, placing an arm around his wife's shoulders. "Though that doesn't really excuse Matthias here," he laughs.

"You know that I don't do weddings," Matthias replies, completely unrepentant. "And I did send a card, so it's not like I blew you guys off entirely..."
"It still would have been nice to meet some more of Randolf's friends," Mirakarias says, pouting. "And if you're anywhere near as interesting a fellow as your younger brother here..."
"He definitely is," Akemi laughs.

Draw focus on yourself, there is no point in making Matthias angry this late in the day, it could afflict his sleep cycle; which is probably already suffering due to sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. We shall tease him about this in the morning if he is crabby, in good nature of course.

Yes, I probably should try and get the focus away from Matthias, if for no reason other then that I'd much rather not risk him casting Falling Rain on me while I sleep.

That is NOT something that I'd like to wake up to ever again.

"Our mother often says that I'm the only of her children who is any fun," I say in attempt to get Matthias a bit of a reprieve.
"Really?" Sadaharu replies. "I don't know, my family and I have enjoyed his company throughout the party..."
"Though I suppose he isn't the type of person who would interrupt a royal announcement just to formally challenge someone to a duel," Akemi says, grinning in an eerie manner.

"Yes, Matthias was always the more subdued type," Randolf says. "Pretty different from both of his brothers... Marcel would have probably ran up on the stage and tried to beat up Marius as well due to some kind of percieved conspiracy against him," he laughs.

"Ah, because Reinhold's his brother-in-law?" Mirakarias sa-
"Wait, WHAT?" I shout.

Surely he's joking, right? RIGHT?

"Ooh, so you didn't know?" Randolf winces.
"...please explain, my FRIEND," I say, gritting my teeth.
"Marius Lanzmann's wife is Reinhold's sister, is all," he says, waving his hand dismissively. "Just a funny coincidence, I'm sure you don't think that there's anything deeper behind it..."

It all makes sense. All of it.

That BASTARD got his brother-in-law to paint a picture depicting an embellished version of the climax of the tournament JUST TO RID-

"Ouch!" I exclaim as a sharp pain runs through my head. "What in the hell-"
"You're getting that 'the world is against me' look again, dumbass," Matthias says, holding his clenched fist up to my face. "Calm down before you do something else stupid."
"Yes... I heard the entire story behind that painting, and there was no ill will meant towards you," Mirakarias says. "Though after seeing your initial reaction, I'm kind of wishing that there was..."

I think he can hear us man, shhh!

Monique if you can hear me, it's all a big conspiracy to destroy your families honor and prestige forever. You need to go to King Celestino and tell him about the bad mans secret plan. I heard Reinhold is friends with a Dragon! And we all know that dragons secretly control the world's economy.

We were at the tournament, we know that Reinhold, despite being a miscreant, couldn't have planned the sword breaking and didn't have a chance to talk to Lanzmann, so Lanzmann must've decided to paint it on his own. Likely to make his brother in law look better.

>>29499905

Actually, this is a good point. What conspiracy has an OBVIOUS instigator. If there is a conspiracy, then Reinhold is obviously a patsy to the person that truly wishes your embarrassment and downfall.

Who do we know with the resources and reach and hatred of us to arrange these convenient events unbeknownst to those who seem to be a part of it.

I would pose the question of Who Benefits...but if we had let ourself go off the cuff as these events keep trying to push us then Reinhold would be murdered by our hand...so ultimately whoever benefits is someone who gains from Reinhold being dead and us being the killer.

...Who, Monique, would try such a thing? Perhaps your eldest brother, he may think you covet his wife? Perhaps the Red Mist, who doesn't want to go through the effort of just killing you, you have leveled grievous insult at his wife...whom he must love if he did marry her.

Lanzmann probably decided to paint that picture when he saw it happen, despite it being an enormous failure for us it is a striking image, and it had to have an impact on him to make such a nice painting out of it.

This indicates that there was no collusion beforehand, except perhaps Reinhold asking Marius to make him look awesome.

>>29499993
He got second place in the tournament, Reinhold wasn't so much better than him that he could afford to hold back and avoid breaking his sword, Monique is not bad by any means. He's been training hard since then as well.

that's just what reinhold and/or whoever is backing him wants you to think
>>
>>29500023
no, it's worse than that. it's an out side force/nation that wants to drive a wedge between the border guards and the palace guards. as well as having two talented fighters at odds with each other than at the REAL threat. Reinhold was born as a nobody, raised as a nobody, then was sculpted into the warrior he is now. he could not do that by himself.

now think... who would profit money wise or power wise from making you Monique mad at Rienhold?

Yes... you do have a point there. Were my brother to win at, well... ANYTHING, I would indeed want to celebrate it.

Even though it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

But still, I must thank you... you always give me the best advice.

"Princess Mirakarias, would you mind telling me this story of the painting?" I ask. You are right, this is probably the best course of action.
"Very well," Mirakarias says with an amused smirk. "But 'Mira' is just fine, I'm not very fond of formalities."

"As for the painting, Marius's wife Citrine thought that it would be a nice change of pace to drag him out of his studio and to the swordsmanship tournament... and they happened to find out that her brother was competing there after the fact."
"...I see," I reply.
"Then the final round came, and he was so inspired by its climax that he decided right then and there to do that painting. Rest assured, there was no insult intended."

That -seems- to make sense, though I'm not very happy about it. And Mira has no reason to lie to me, so I suppose I'll take her at her word.

"See, there's no point in being all paranoid," Matthias says, slapping me on the back hard enough for it to sting.
"I suppose not," I reply.

"Nice going, Matthias," Randolf says to my brother with a wide grin. "Schmoozing with the royalty of... what country was it? Kinsen?"
"Yes," Sadaharu replies. And you two are from Krassato, yes?"
"That's right," he says, nodding. "You have a lovely wife and daughter there!"

"I'm a BOY!" Masaharu shouts, Randolf's mistake hitting a sore point that I'm all too familiar with.
"Ah, my apologies," Randolf replies with an embarrassed smile.
"I suppose that's the downside of being born to- er, never mind that," Mirakarias says, looking off to the side.

Both are good suggestions!

"Prince Masaharu, there's no need to ashamed of your looks," I say, crouching down to the young Prince's eyelevel. "When you get older, the girls are sure to flock to one such as yourself..."
"Especially the girls back home," Sadaharu laughs. "I still have no idea how a rough-looking guy like me was able to land a hottie like your mother, Masaharu!"

"And hey, at least your name is manly," I say, showing my best smile. "Unlike me... I have delicate features AND a feminine name," I sigh. "At least you're able to fend off any misconceptions as to your gender just by saying your nam, right?"
"Yeah..." Masaharu mumbles.
"And look at me now, I'm a master swordsman, captain of the Border guard... I'm about to show off to the entire country tomorrow..."
"And -you'll- get to be king someday, that's even more impressive than anything that Monique can brag about," Matthias chimes in.

Of course he decides to belittle my accomplishments. Whatever.

"...anyways," I say, standing up to face Randolf, "you're not familiar with Kinsen's royal family?" I ask.
"Nope, this is actually the first time we've met," Randolf replies.
"Hm. Considering that both of your countries have good relations with Marconetti, I'd have expected you to be allied yourselves."

"Kinsen's a bit to far away for us to do any real trade without having to worry about Ancellotta interfering," Randolf sighs. "As nice as it would be to have some cool Eastern stuff to mess around with, we have enough trouble with those bastards as it is."
"Yes..." Sadaharu shrugs. "And on our end, we have Saperavi to worry about."

Saperavi? Isn't that the country to the north of Kinsen?

"Are you at war with them?" I ask, my curiosity having been piqued.
"No, but they've been pressuring us more and more as of late on account of certain rumors about my wife," Sadaharu replies. "And if we were to for an alliance with a country with a dragon in its royal family..."

"Uh, why would they even care?" Matthias asks.
"Saperavi was founded based on the ideal of 'human rule over humans' after the fall of the Old Kings, you see..." Sadaharu says. "So when they think that nonhumans are trying to edge their way back on top, they get kind of, um... antsy. And they happen to be right next to our own kingdom," he sighs.

"They're a bunch of assholes when you get on their bad side," Randolf chimes in. "It's a small country, but I think Kinsen's even smaller, right?"
"Sadly," Sadaharu replies. "And I'm on their shitlist right now, so I can't exactly afford to make relations between our countries even worse."

"But why would they have something against you?" I ask, turning to Sadaharu and Akemi. "Mirakarias may be a dragon, but Akemi isn't..."

And suddenly I feel everyone, even Masaharu, staring at me as if I've just said something foolish.

"You really are a funny guy," Akemi giggles. "But as entertaining as it is to spend time with you, Masaharu's getting tired so I think it's time for us to call it a night."
"Huh?" Msaharu says, looking up at his mother. "I'm not tired..."

And then he lets out a LONG yawn.

"Your body has betrayed you, my son," Sadaharu says with a deep chuckle. "I guess we'll see you at the arena tomorrow, Monique. And if we have time, maybe we can sit together and cheer your brother on, Matthias?"
"Uh, maybe," Matthias mumbles, embarrassed from the attention.

"Oh yeah, you have that duel tomorrow," Randolf says, snapping his fingers. "I'm sure you want to get some last-minute training in, so let's not eat up any more of your time..."
"I look forward to seeing you in action," Mira says, laughing creepily.

With that, the two royal families leave my brother and I to our own devices...

"I guess we ought to head back to the suite," Matthias says, turning to me. "No sense in just loitering out here all night."
"Yes, I suppose you are right," I reply.

With that, the two of us begin the long trek back to our room. Why does this castle's layout have to be so damned complex...

Yes, that's been bothering me as well. As the two of us walk, I turn to my brother..

"Er, did I say something wrong before?" I ask.
"You say 'something wrong' all the time, did you have a specific instance in mind?" Matthias replies.
"Ugh... when everyone was staring at me when I said that Akemi wasn't a dragon," I reply. "What, is she actually one?"

And then he stares at me again for few second before burying his face in his hand.

"Do you remember what those stupid bitches were saying about her jut before I blew up at them while we were standing in line?" Matthias asks.
"I can't say that I do," I reply. "The words of the foolish are rarely worth remembering, after all..."
"Dammit, man," Matthias grumbles before looking around to make sure that nobody else is around. "Well, do you remember just before we gave the Prince his gift, and Akemi did that sign with her hands?"

Ah, THAT. I was just about to ask him about that as well...

"Yes, I do," I reply.
"Well, uh... those signified ears," Matthias says, looking kind of embarrassed. "Akemi's ears. Because she's a kitsune."
"...what's a 'kitsune?'" I ask.

Luckily, the pain subsides by the time we return to our suite. Since Matthias seems to still be in a bit of a foul mood, I head to my bedroom and change into the loose shirt and pants that I'd brought along with me as training clothes, then remove my belt from the outfit that I wore to the party and put it on over my pants.

While it doesn't exactly -match-, I'll be damned if I head outside unarmed. Or anywhere unarmed.

...you know what I mean.

I don't know how likely it is that he'll actually ACCEPT, but it won't hurt to ask him... I hope.

As I exit my bedroom, I turn to Matthias, who is now sprawled on the couch and reading a book.

"Hey Matthias," I say, waving to my brother.
"What do you want now?" Matthias replies, peeking over the top of his book... what is that, a grimoire?
"I'm about to go to out for a jog, and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come along?"
"Hell no," Matthias replies, once again burying his face in his book. "I hate that shit, and it's too cold to be out there at this hour anyways."

I've half a mind to simply drag him along by force, but you are right in that I should accept that he doesn't want to be bothered.

"Very well," I reply, sighing. "I'll probably be back late, so..."
"Just go," Matthias grumbles. "Just don't sprain an ankle or anything, I don't want to hear it if you lose your match tomorrow because you went and overdid it like a moron."

MATTHIAS PLS

You're supposed to be subtly mocking your brother, not accidentally calling Reinhold out through some offshoot of the same powers of narrative causality that let us speak to Monique.
>>
Rolled 15

>>29504143
Rolling to not sprain an ankle.

>>29504143
>[2/2]

While I don't appreciate the insult, he does have a point. Best to take it easy, though I'm still going to enjoy my jog.

"Very well," I say to my brother with a mocking bow. "I shall leave you to your desired solitude. Try not to do anything stupid while I'm away."
"That's my line," Matthias replies.

Though I'm still a bit disappointed, I leave my brother to his own business as I leave our suite and then the castle itself, eventually making my way out onto the city streets.

My first thought upon making it outside is that Matthias was right... to say the very least, it is BRISK out here.

Still not brisk enough to deter me from jogging, though. Taking a nice pace, I run along the empty streets, taking care to steer clear of the various bars and taverns that are open at his hour.

I have absolutely zero desire to get caught up in a bar fight at any time, much less tonight... all of my aggression is reserved for Reinhold tomorrow.

As I run, I notice a woman walking by herself... upon closer look, I recognize her as the lady who was hitting on me during the party.

She seems to have been drinking.

Ha, you didn't even need to tell me that. As if I would EVER leave a woman to her own devices at this hour, my mother raised me better than that.

And I'm sure that you'd lose respect for me as well were I to ignore her.

"Excuse me," I call out as I approach the intoxicated woman. "Pardon my intrusion into your business, but it's far too dangerous for a lovely lady such as yourself to be wandering the streets alone this late at night.
"Hm?" she mumbles. "I'm not wandering, I'm just headin' home..."

And then she actuslly turns to face me.

And a lustful smile forms on her lips.

Oh dear.

"Why if it isn't the -lovely- Monique Gilbeault, come to the rescue..." she giggles as she makes bedroom eyes at me. "What, you couldn't stop thinking about me after we parted ways?"
"Er- no, I was just concerned for your safety," I reply, laughing nervously. "Were you looking for an afterparty or something? Perhps I could walk you there so you didn't have to be by yourself..."

"Oh no, I'm all partied out," the woman laughs. "I was just heading to my restaurant to check on things, I've been at the castle all day so I was worried that the folks I left to run the place in my absence were messing around, you see..."
"Ah, so you're an entrepreneur?" I ask.
"That's riiiiight!" she giggles as she presses the back of her head into my chest and looks up at me.

Yes... it was definitely a good idea to call to her. There's no doubt that a baser-minded man would have no qualms with taking advantage of this woman in her current state.

"I've got a little cafe in town, but I've been a lot less hands-on since I've come to move to the castle," she says to me, wrapping her arm aroud the back of my neck.
"Is that so?" I reply, gently removing her arm from my person and creating a proper amount of distance between the two of us.
"Oh yes!" she says, smiling proudly. "My sweet little baby's the Prince's new bodyguard!"

OH, now it makes sense!

"So that's your daughter who I saw with him..." I say.
"Daughter..." she staring at me. "No, Karel is a boy. my SON," she says, poking me in the chest.
"Ah... my apologies for the mistake."

She most definitely has a daughter and not a son... but I'd rather not get into an argument with an intoxicated woman. Best to get her to her destination so I can return to my exercise.

Karel might actually be a girl.

Think about it. Celestino would fire her if he knew it was a her. Not only because of the whole "Women can't sword" thing, but also to ensure she didn't get too close to Emilio like he does with his daughters' male bodyguards.

"Would you mind if I escorted you to this cafe?" I ask, getting back to the task at hand.
"Bringing a gorgeous young swordsman home with me," she says, licking her lips. "...how could I -ever- refuse?" she says, snatching my hand and holding it in a vicelike grip before I'm able to react.
"Eheh," I say, looking down at our entwined hands. "Just doing my duty as a gentleman. Just lead the way..."

Pulling in close to me and resting her head on my shoulder, she leads me along with her to her cafe. While there's no doubt in my mind that we look like lovers to an outsider, it's not like I can really do anything about it... she's holding onto my hand TIGHTLY.

As I do my best to ignore her flirting, we eventually make it to what I assume is her cafe. After she finally lets go of my hand, she scurries towards the door and unlocks it.

"Just need to check the sales records," she mumbles to herself.
"Er, would you like for me to stick around until you get done?" I ask. "I could walk you back to the castle if you'd like..."

While I have no intention of giving in to her advances, it's not like I'm about to just leave her by herself either.

"That won't be necessary," she replies as she opens the door. "I'll just sleep in here tonight... gotta get up bright and early if I want to make it to your match tomorrow!"
"Ah, you do have a point there," I reply.

At least she doesn't intend to go back outside in her current state.

"Well, goodnight, Mr. Gilbeault..." she says, skipping over to me.
"And goodnight to you, er..."

Come to think of it, I never did catch her name.

"It's Alicia," she says, smiling at me. "Do remember it..."

And then before I can react, she pulls me into a deep kiss, her soft lips pressing against mine and her to-

AHEM.

Anyways, I pull back the second I regain my awareness of my surroundings, blushing so hard it feels like every blood vessel in my face is about to burst.

"Er- um-" I stammer, unsure how to react to... that.
"Consider that a lucky charm," Alicia says, licking her lips seductively. "While that Reinhold -is- handsome, he wasn't the one who was kind enough to make sure I made it to my destination safely..."
"Y- yes, well I -am- a gentleman and, um-"

"And that's why I'll just leave it at that," Alicia says, winking at me once again before retreating into her restaurant.

Y- yes, there's no need to dwell on that. None at all.

After slapping myself a few times in order to bring my mind back to reality, I make sure that Alicia is safely inside her cafe before resuming my jogging.

It's pretty much a straight path from here to the castle, so I'd might as well head further out into the city... after all, it's going to take quite a bit of running to shake that off.

As I run, the status of the buildings seems to decrease the further I go. While it's not like they're slum condition or anything, it's quite clear that the city looks less nice the further you get from the castle.

It's still quite the beautiful city, though...

Don't turn your back on them until you're reasonably close, then round a corner, calm your breathing, and wait to catch them off-guard if they try and sneak after you after they believe your back is turned.

If they don't follow, it was probably a false positive, and if they do, we have a way better justification for bushwacking them than just seeing someone sketchy and going immediately into attack mode.

"Play it cool"... yes, you -would- say that.

While continuing to pay close attention to my observer, I keep on my way, curving into as natural an arc as I can as if I was turning back around on my return trip to the castle.

They suspect nothing.

After making sure that they haven't changed positions at all (they haven't), I quickly duck into an alley close to where they're hiding out and make my move.

My opponent is watching from a rooftop. The easiest way up there would be to cast Starlight Wing, but the light emitted from the wings it produces would surely give away my actions long before I actually made it to my quarry...

...might as well try -that-.

Getting a running start, I grip the hilt of my sword and whisper s softly as possible...

"Snowflake Step."

Leaping up as if jumping onto the air itself, a large foot-sized snowflake materializes under my foot just as I begin to descend, holding its place in the air long enough for me to jump further in the air, crumbling the instant my foot leaves it.

This continues for several more steps as I do what I'm sure would look to a third party as if I was walking on air, finally making it to the rooftop.

Noiselessly.

Landing on the roof itself just as my spell's duration runs out, I look at my observer... it's a large man in a hooded cloak, not the best attire if one wants to seem innocent in any way.

As I prepare to draw my sword, I can't help but wonder what course of action to take... do you have any suggestions?

>>
>>29506119
"You don't mind explaining me why you are following me, do you?"
>>
>>29506119
Any magic to detain him would be beneficial.

A large, hooded cloak could easily be wrapped around the man's torso and bound tightly so as to disable him from accessing a weapon with a longer draw than a dagger.

We probably don't want to do anything that might knock the poor schmuck off the roof, though, even if he IS up to no good.

Once immobilized, state your intent, but stay on your guard until you have either heard a satisfactory reply or seen them attempt to flee or fight back.

Yes! Have some faith in him, you're supposed to be on his side!
>>29506267
He can't see things because we aren't posting pictures.
>>
Subdue before engaging. That makes sense.

As I firmly grasp the hilt of my sword, I open my mouth to cast Permafrost...

...but before I can, the hooded man rushes towards me at top speed.

Damn it all! After making sure that my footing is secure, I dodge to the side just as he pulls out a large knife and swings it right towards where my head just was.

Clearly, this isn't just some bandit that I'm dealing with, that would have killed me if it connected.

"I suppose it's too late to ask you why you were watching me," I say as I draw my sword just in time to block another sword swing to my face, pushing him back and putting a bit of distance between the two of us.
"Too dangerous to be allowed to live..." the man mumbles under his breath before assuming a low stance.

But just before my blade connects with his forearm, he tosses his knife into his other hand and pulls back, narrowly avoiding being maimed. Damn, so close.

"Yes, too dangerous," he says as he uses the opening created by my missed sword slash to stab towards my chest...

...unfortunately for him, I'm TOO FAST.

Kicking him in the chest, I flick my wrist -just so-, severing the tendon in his wrist and causing him to drop his knife before preparing a spell...

Sick and tired of dealing with this fool, I kick his knife away before he can retrieve it, sending it falling over the edge of the roof.

As I prepare to rush towards him for a final blow, I sense something shooting towards me. Swinging my sword to deflect whatever it is, I find myself slicing apart a large tendril of water.

But this isn't the only one, as I'm forced to dodge several more before the sudden assault's end... and my attacker simply looks at me with a mad grin.

WAIT.

"No invocation... or even Script, for that matter..." I say as I scan the area to reaffirm that yes, I'm not dealing with a second opponent. "What are you, a Contractor!?"

That would certainly make things a -bit- more difficult...

"No..." the man says, laughing as he removes his hood to show off the pointed ears on either side of his head and eyes that eerily gleam in the moonlight. "...not a Contractor..."

He continues to laugh as water materializes around him, gradually forming the crude shape of... is that supposed to be a Leviathan?

"...a DEVIL CHILD," he says with misplaced pride as the water-formed "leviathan" flies right towards me.

Oh...

...this is rich...

"You stupid, STUPID fool," I laugh, running a hand through my hair as the water "dragon" continues its journey through the air and towards my face. "Contractor or Devil Child or whatever the hell you may be, you picked the absolute worst opponent in me," I say as I draw a line along the ground with the tip of my sword.

"Aurora Field," I say as I step to the side just before the water dragon connects... or rather, before the water dragon is frozen solid milliseconds before it reaches me.

"I take it that your element is water, yes?" I say, smiling my best smile as I bat the newly-formed ice sculpture aside. "Well, my good sir, my element is ICE..."

Attack?

Attack! Yes, before he can get a second wind!

My sword at the ready, I race towards the foolish bastard who dared to think that his piddling water arts would EVER be effective against the likes of you and I! Scrambling to defend himself, he forms several ttndrils of water towards me as a final attack...

...but it's no use, my destruction of his "dragon" clearly rattled his resolve too much for him to form anything of worth.

While I did say that I wanted to keep him alive, a Devil Child isn't exactly the kind of thing that one can safely imprison without special charms and the like... were I to knock him out, there's no guarantee that he couldn't escape and/or kill whatever guards came to retrieve him.

As such, there is only one choice for me...

Casually slicing up his water tendrils into a fine mist, that same mist freezes into flakes of snow as I close the distance between us and ready the same attack that I practiced until my hands bled..

Monique doesn't appear to be doing that. His wing spell wasn't Ice, for instance, and it can be assumed that his magical grounding is far better than Reinhold's. Which leaves him free to focus more on Ice.

As a last, desperate attack, he sends a large blast of water shooting towards me... but another Aurora Field changes it into naught but a pillar of ice.

Finally within striking range, I swing my sword.

Again.

And again.

And again!

The blood spilled by each swing of my sword crystallizes into red flakes of snow as hits the air, both it and the man's screams of agony filling the air until I've decided that he's finally had enough. With a final sword slash upwards, his body is encased into a huge pillar of ice...

"Hyouka Zanmai," I say as I sheath my sword, the excess ice from the pillar exploding into a flurry of flower-shaped ice crystals.

The poor fool... he tried to take my life, but lost his own instead.

While I -was- forced to kill him, I did leave his body intact so that it can be identified later... I suppose I ought to find a guard or someone similar to report this attack to.

So much for my late-night jogging... though I suppose I did end up with more of a workout than I had intended. And don't worry, I won't use that attack on Reinhold... my desire is to humiliate him and hopefully destroy his fighting spirit, not to kill him.

Breathing a long sigh of relief that this incursion is at its end, I prepare to cast Snowflake Step a second time in order to make it back down to the street...

"...the hell!?" I shout as I jump back JUST in time to avoid getting a knife embedded in my shoulder.

So there -was- a second attacker... or rather, this Devil Child here had an accomplice who arrived too late to keep him from being killed by yours truly.

"Show yourself!" I shout, in no mood for any more games. I have a duel tomorrow, I can't be wasting all night with these fools.

But as I look around, my assailant remains unseen... until I feel a presence -just- behind me!

"Kh-" I grunt as I'm barely able to unsheath my sword in time to guard against the charging knife attack of another cloaked man.

"REPPUUZAN!!" a man shouts in the distnce...

Along with the lower half of his body.

Or rather, my attacker is forcibly separated from the lower half of his body, his upper half lifelessly crashing to the floor.

"...wha..." I mumble as I look at this sudden scene of carnage that -I- did not cause. "Who in the world-"
"I see that you also encountered them," a man says from the side of the roof.

...wait, I -know- him!

"Takamaru-san?" I call out, not having expected to see Princess Luciana's bodyguard in a place like this. "What are you doing here- is the Princess in trouble!?" I ask as my imagination is suddenly filled with all kinds of horrible scenarios.
"No, she is safely in the castle," Takamaru replies as he sheaths his sword. "I am out here on an... errand, searching for suspicious people such as this."

He is indeed a trustworthy sort... and if nothing else, perhaps I'll learn something about who just attacked me.

"I see," I say as I try not to stare too much at the bisected man who lies at my feet. "I found myself being watched by that fellow over there," I point to the frozen fool, "When I came up here to confront him about what he wanted, he declared me to be too dangerous to be allowed to live and, well... you can see how he ended up. Did something similar happen to you?"

"Hm," Takamaru nods. "I was actually tailing this man here until he suddenly ran off and attacked you," he sighs. "I had hoped that he would lead me to whoever is employing him, but I suppose I will have no such luck tonight."
"Would you happen to know who these people are?" I ask. "The one I fought was a Devil Child, and-"

"Er, who exactly are 'they?'" I ask, growing more suspicious of this seeming conspiracy.
"...it is nothing that you need to concern yourself with," Takamaru replies. "It is an... internal matter for Marconetti, and the less people who know about it, the better."

As unsettling as it is that such attacks are occurring in this country, I do understand the need for secrecy. But there is one thing hat I can't help but ask about...

"...you said that whoever this is has half-dragons hired as well?" I ask.
"Yes," Takamaru nods. "I fought several last night, and this one right here is also one," he says, looking at the man who he just cut in half. "Strong enough to parry a broadsword with a small dagger..."
"Are you sure that you don't need any help dealing with this?" I ask.
"No... with these two dead, they are sure to be on even further guard for the rest of the night at the very least," he says, looking rather disappointed. "I had hoped to end this foolishness tonight."

Well he DID say he didn't need help. No sense in sticking our nose where it isn't wanted.
>>
If he believes he lost the duel because he didn't get enough rest, he is going to be INSUFFERABLE.

>>29507775
>You should insist that you be allowed to help. After all, your life was just put in danger.
Such things should not just be easily handed off

I'm pretty sure Monique isn't interested in adventure, only social climbing.

Christ you people are going to turn this Monqieu POV into a two parter.
And people complain that we haven't left Marconetti. We keep getting caught up in shit like this.
>>
>>29507903
People complain that we haven't left Marconetti? The fuck?
>>
>>29507903

Well, actually i only care about Monique parts and just skim over Reinhold Parts as long as it does't concern Monqiue.
>>
>>29507896
he can do that by saving Luciana.
>>
>>29507937
Luciana doesn't want to be saved by a git like him.
>>
>>29507896

Which is a tragedy because he sucks at it. and anyway becoming badass seem to be way more effective back in Granache.

>>29507903

Most of the trip to Marconnetti has been straight slice of life. This is a plot hook.
>>
>>29507903
>Christ you people are going to turn this Monqieu POV into a two parter.
Yes please. Monique is a badass when he is not seen through the is of reinholt
>>
>>29507927
We've been stuck in Marconetti for like forever, I want to go back to Granache already, with its non-dick nobles, and non-dick wanting Princess
>>
>>29507950
who says Monique is aiming for Luciana?

getting credit to saving royalty have lots of upsides.
>>
>>29507971
Monique is into Not!Asian girls anyway.
>>
>>29507950

True, still as soldier of Granache, it is our duty to assist our allies whenever we can. Our honour as a noble demands it.
>>
>>29507982
But internal matters are internal matters. It's not our business.
>>
>>29507966
Don't remind me. I'm going to miss Luci.
>>
>Not running anywhere as late as last night
Heh
>>
>>29507992
It became his business when he got attacked.
"Too dangerous to be allowed to live..." could mean that whatever group the Devil-Child belonged to migth be after Monique's head now
>>
>>29507992

And when that has stopped us before?
>>
>>29507992
One could argue that it became Monique's business when they tried to kill him.
>>
>>29508021
How? The devil child is dead. So is his backup. Unless they're packing magical radios, no one should know of Monique.
>>
>>29508010
I'm almost certain there will be a reason she ends up coming back with us. Like having her sneaked out in one of the carriages and then hide out in our country for awhile to elude these assassins.
>>
>>29508036
If she thinks things are going well for her, she might try to propose before Reinhold heads back.
>>
You do have a point in that this isn't exactly any of my business... though I am still a bit sore about being attacked like I was.

"I suppose I shall leave the rest to you, then?" I ask. "Unless you would -like- my assistance, that is..."
"No, that will be fine," Takamaru replies. "And I believe that you have a duel to get to in the morning anyways."
"Heh, that is true," I say, shrugging. "Well, I wish you the best of luck in finding out the mastermind behind all of this..."
"Thank you."

Waving goodbye to Takamaru, I cast Snowflake Step to hop back down to the street and make my way back to the castle. It's perhaps an hour before I make it back, but thankfully it's an uneventful hour.

Opening the door to our suite, I find Matthias waiting on the couch with quite the scowl on his face...

"Er, were you actually waiting for me to get back?" I ask.
"Yes I was waiting for your stupid ass to get back,' Matthias replies, getting up from his seat on the couch and jabbing me in the chest with his index finger. "You said that you were just out for a jog, so when you STILL weren't back after I'd finished reading, I got worried that you'd pissed someone off along the way and gotten hurt or something..."

"...but seeing as how you're completely fine, I bet you were just making out with one of your collection of groupies or something.

>The bad guys want to kill Monique

>Out of body guarding instinct Reinhold take the bullet meant for Monique

Could be fun.
>>
>>29508034
The devil-child was clearly shadowing Monique.
When he/it doesn't return it would stand to reason that his allies assumes that Monique dealt with him
>>
>>29508065
The protagonist we deserve but not the one we need right now
>>
>>29508065

NO.
>>
>>29508058
Don't tell your brother about the mortal danger, Monique. It will only make him worry.
>>
>>29508069
An alternate possibility is that he was shadowing Karel's mom, and only started shadowing us after we interacted with her. We only noticed him after parting ways with her after all.
>>
>>29508081

I never understood that phrase. If Batman isn't what Gotham need then what is he doing? And how has Gotham "deserved" Batman?
>>
We're on page 10.
>>
>>29508058
>[2/2]

For once in his life, Matthias is actually partially right... though I will NEVER EVER mention what happened with Alicia to him.

Ever.

I kind of want to forget it myself... I'd much rather avoid Karel challenging -me- to a duel because she thinks I'm going to steal her mother away from her.

And yes, Alicia -is- pretty.

But she's not my type.

You know that.

"So was I right, or did you get up to some kind of retarded flower arranging adventure or the like? I expect at least SOME explanation, dammit."

He does deserve some kind of explanation, that is true... but how much should I tell him? Or should I just make something up?

Tell. Him. Everything.

Your brother needs to beat the shit out of you for being reckless.
>>
>>29508161
Tell him what happened in like a sentence or two.

>>29508161

Tell him the literal truth, but no need to include Takamaru's revelations. Just say that he helped you.

Monique a shit
Karel quest when?

Just tell him what happened. There is foul play at work here, and your brother deserves to know.

You have to make a party of four characters from PGQ to go on an adventure. Who do you choose?
>>
>>29508234
Luciana Marianne Nicolette Sylvie
>>
>>29508234
Reinhold, Monique, Karel, Takamaru.
>>
>>29508194
Unless some serious PLOT involving him happens before we leave the country it's unlikely. He's awesome, but he's a tertiary character at the moment, and given that we didn't get a POV from him when he went off to play batman with Taka I doubt we'll get one ever, because that would have been the perfect time.

Masaharu might just be the best party face in history. He's a trap with fluffy tail.

>>29508312
Such a flagrantly OUTRAGEOUS idea would be splendid. We could go on rousing adventures with our friends. Sing the heroic song of heroism when things look bleak. Talk to sharks with no short term memory!
>>
If you think it would be a good idea...

And so, I tell Matthias about everything that happened during my outing... though I do omit the parts concerning the kiss with Alicia and the gory details of the fight. As I finish, my brother looks even angrier than before...

...and then he punches me in the stomach as hard as he can before pulling me into a tight hug.

Damn it, I don't understand him at all.

"You fucking moron, what if you'd gotten yourself killed!?" he shouts. "Then what the hell would I tell Mom, that you decided to play hero while we were on vacation and died for your trouble?"
"The only times I incurred any damage all day were when you decided to punch me..." I reply as I push him off of me.

"And while I do appreciate the concern, I'm rather tired," I say with a yawn. "so I think I'll retire for the night."
"Whatever," Matthias sighs. "Now that you're here, I can finally stop worrying," he says as he storms into his bedroom and slams the door behind him.

...please, no jokes about "brotherly love," I'm too tired to think of any snappy comebacks.
>>
>>29508441
You don't truly understand, Monique, but real men communicate with their fists.

When will Monique realize that it was Reinhold who hired the devil child to kill Monique in order to avoid the duel tomorrow?

And so, we arrive at the end of another Monique thread.
While I had absolutely NO intention of running so late, I did thoroughly enjoy myself... and I hope that you all did as well.

Next thread will be Tursday night, as per the usual.

And as always, thanks for playing!

Thanks OP, you a good one.

>>29508535
I was worried for a minute there.
>>
Arch, how Gregory would react if we choose Luci regarding magic lesson?
>>
>>29508588
Wait for the VN to find out
>>
>>29508588
A (verbal) fight would have broke out between Sylvie and Luciana right then and there, Gregory was preparing for if/WHEN it would turn physical.

And then he would have called you a fucking retard afterwards... maybe punched you himself depending on how things turned out.
>>
>>29508646

So that was the only correct choice there?
>>
>>29508646
>possible magic duel between girls over Rein
God, I want to see that so bad.
>>
>>29508660
You'd still get the lesson from Luciana afterwards, but a dick move still has its consequences.
