You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.

The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.

After greeting Marianne and learning the details of Celestino's deal with Thierri and Gregory (you're not looking forward to telling Nicolette about that one), you headed to Luciana's room to see if she'd like to eat breakfast with you and Marianne. When you got there, you found out that Elena was hiding out in her room since last night, which means that SHE SAW EVERYTHING. Hopefully, she understands the value of discretion.

Then Luciana accepted your offer, and you were even able to get a sketch in before breakfast! But now you figure that you ought to get to telling her certain things about yourself...

This isn't going to be fun.


>Congratulations, you are once again an unruly WOLF!
>Wolves are cool and powerful... and also rather dangerous.
>The Princess considers you to be her friend!
>But while wolves are really cool, they still don't count as people.

Luciana's gotten up from her seat and is talking with Marianne, presumably about the book that she's been reading. While you feel kid of bad to interrupt their conversation, you feel even worse about blowing up at Luciana like you did earlier.

And if she's going to be your girlfriend, she probably ought to know what caused you to act the way you did. Even though you really don't like talking about it.

Are we gonna explain some of the stuff we left out with Marianne or does she know the general idea of the subject?

>>30006925
There's really no reason at this point to not let her know, though. If nothing else, it will explain our reaction from when she froze us to the wall.

>tell Luciana right out here, Marianne already knows and it'll probably be better for Luciana if she knows that you're not just dumping all of this on her alone
Is it "So if we are going to be together,I should tell you why I am like I am. I don't mean to be rude or anything but it's kind of heavy..." time?
>>
>>30007007
yes.

>>30007007

>>30006800
>ask them what they prefer
Let Luciana know that Marianne already knows pretty much all of it, and then see if she'd rather we tell her in private or if she'd prefer to have her friend there for moral support.

We don't just want to dump this on them both without fanfare, and there isn't any particular reason we should feel compelled to have Marianne sit through the whole song and dance a second time seeing how unpleasant it was for her the first time around.

If we plan on telling the whole story, on the other hand, we should probably tell Marianne that before starting. Let her know in advance that we're going to be explaining everything this time, and that even if it's something we think we need Luciana to know before moving forward, we left it out from our first summary of our background for a reason, and we don't want to worry her with it more than is necessary. Unless she really wants to know.

She's more likely than not going to want to hear it regardless, but it's better to let her know that she's in for more this time than the last if she still wants in.

Ask Marianne if she'd mind if you told the story of your past again. Don't want to force her, but mention there are some other details you haven't mentioned yet, that you'd like to tell both of them to know. Like Spinellie.

1. This Quest has gotten slower since the end of the whole duel shitstorm,
2. PGQ always gets slower when Arch is writing,
3. There's rarely much to discuss at the start of a thread unless HAPPENING in previous threads,
4. It's only been ~20 minutes,
5. >>30007677
>>
>>30007621
I'm trembling in feel right now.

You know... Maybe we should have gotten the girls to sit down with Citrine and had her tell the full molesty story. Kind of like an ironman feels competition. Last woman standing that still wants to deal with reinholds emotional issues wins the reinbowl.

Sigh... Reinsight is 20/20
>>
>>30007720
I'm also an a quiver in anticipation. I wonder how'll she'll take the news. At least she will understand.
>>
>>30007621
How fast is it normally? This is the first thread I haven't had to read from the archive.
>>
>>30007803
if only i'm optimistic.
>>
So when we go to Sylvies room to speak alone and we tell her we are marrying Luci and she pushes us down so she can have a little Chinhold of her own we all agree to let her do it right?
>>
>>30007792
Sylvie probably would have jumped up and gone LET ME FIX YOU REINHOLD like she did when we tried to insinuate about the trauma before.

Actually, thinking on it, I think that was the point where she lost a lot of her following, but that's purely conjecture on my part.
>>
So.. any ideas how we can get out of this Luci business before route lock?

Haha, I'm just kidding, we route locked over three threads ago.

>>30007710
Well, I'm pretty sure that after we got emotionally blackmailed into Luci route with a 'date Luci / be asshole when she's the most vulnerable' option (this on top of emotions running high in the anti-Monique camp; players being frantic about the idea of losing Luci to Monique and so greedily wanting her for themselves, regardless of whether they REALLY wanted her or not), partnered with general pissed-offedness over the whole 'people can't get over that Monique has a Sealed King'.. pretty sure that Arch drove off a substantial amount of posters.

Now, you can take that as a positive, or a negative, s'entirely up to you. But that's pretty much the gist of how slow things have gotten on the player side. People might say it's because "the waifu wars finally calmed down," which is kind of true, in the same sorta sense that Japan 'calmed down' when America double-nuked it.
>>
>>30007828
Twenty to thirty minutes a post. Assuming something isn't going on where archelon is.
>>
>>30007828
Over three thousand posts and three threads in one night is the record so far.
>>
>>30007860
Please stop

Just like Japan would not have prospered from immediately jumping back into a war after it got nuked, this quest will not prosper from trying to reignite the waifu war.
>>
>>30007828
There's usually a post every two to three minutes, unless you're asking how often Arch posts, in which case his posts are about twenty minutes apart, although he seems to have sped up over the past few days.
>>
>>30007845
>....she pushes us down...
Nope. MAXIMUM PSTD.


>>30007792
That sounds like a pretty good idea, but It's more likely to work only with whoever we route-locked with.
>>
>>30007860
I guess it wouldn't be PGQ without shit posters. Thanks anon I almost had hope for humanity there.
>>
>>30007901
What is reinhold gonna do? Resist her rape strength while hes blubbering all over the bed?

>>
>>30007887
As if the waifu wars will ever start up again - that's the whole point of the Japan analogy, anon. Anyone who wanted to pursue it either just gave up due to being utterly demoralized by having no say in things, or was roasted into a nuclear-baked s'more by the Luci route-lock event and is no longer with us.

>>30007940
I'm sorry that you find an explanation of why there's fewer posters to be shitposting.

While I cannot alter your wrong and misinformed opinion, I would like to remark that I did state that these turn of events are neither good nor bad, but wholly subjective as to how you wish to perceive them, yourself.

However, that does not negate the fact that, for better or for worse, this is pretty much an accurate description of what happened.

And I'll leave it at that, before you continue to shitpost about other people shitposting.

Ya, he would go full flash back and wreck her shit. But part of me really want's her to go full yandere and not take no for an answer.

Even if I never get RanaxReinhold
>>
>>30007874

Pretty sure the duel saw something like ~5000 posts total.

>>30007953
>That...That's pretty impressive.

It is, but Archelon is far from the only QM to have ever done it.
>>
>>30008001
Like I said in the first place, I'm not gonna try to dictate whether or not it's good or bad - everyone will see these turn of events differently, and that's perfectly alright. I'd have liked a Marianne route, but that's just not in the cards and bitching about it certainly isn't going to change anything and will only make shit worse.

"Luciana? Marianne?" you call out, your expression far more somber than usual.
"What is it, Reinhold?" Luciana asks.
"What, is something wrong?" Marianne says.
"Well," you sigh, "if me and Luciana are going to be together, she should probably know why it is that I am the way I am."

Yeah, you should get that out of the way as soon as possible before she tries to push you down or something.

"...oh," Marianne says, placing her book down. "Yes, I suppose you should."
"Hm?" Luciana turns from you to Marianne. "Is this related to why you yelled at me for flirting? That's okay, I know you said that you wanted to take it slow..."
"Yes, well it's not just that he's shy," she replies. "You can go ahead and say it here, it's not like I haven't already heard this before."

"Actually, I didn't tell you -everything- either, Marianne," you say.
"What do you mean, that wasn't 'everything?' You mean there's even more than what you already told me?" Marianne asks, seeming more than a little bit unnerved.

Yeah, this is why you didn't want to bring this up.

"I figured that it would just upset you to hear about -everything- that happened to me, so..." you sigh.
"No, I understand," Marianne replies. "It's not like I can blame you."

Does anybody else feels Arch is pacing everything way too fast for Reinhold? I mean, were just a few days ago "Not prepared for a relationship" and now Rein is all about "Luciana is YOURS, damnit!".

The general idea is that Rein learned that he actually cared about Lucy when he was about to lose her. It was only in that great moment of drama that he learned how he felt. Lucy also echos some of the ideas that Cirtine said to us awhile back that was posted in a few threads back IIRC.

"I figured that Luciana ought to know about this stuff if we're going to be together," you say, "but if you didn't want to hear it, Marianne..."
"No, it's fine," Marianne replies, shaking her head. "If nothing else, Luciana won't have to deal with hearing about this by herself."
"Umm, now you're kind of starting to scare me," Luciana says, laughing nervously. "It's really that bad? I mean, I've killed people before... it's worse than that?"

"You've killed-" Marianne stares at her friend, you guess she hadn't been told about the other night's misadventure.
"Considering that I'd rather talk about the time I killed a guy for beating Citrine up when I was nine than talk about this..." you say.
"Oh. Oh my... I suppose I'd better take a seat then," Luciana says as she walks over to the couch and sits down.

After Marianne takes a seat next to Luciana, you clear your throat and begin speaking...

See, all I can see there is that he doesn't actually love her or like her 'that way'. Basically this is a child wanting something because he thought there was a chance he couldn't have it - not that this is Reinhold's fault, it's the anons who voted that way because THEY'RE the ones who're childish about 'I want' attitudes like this.

Again, I'm not seeing it. This is more in-line with 'I want her because someone else was going to have her' in my opinion. I'm pretty much 100% certain that if it was Sylvie that was going to get married off to Monique then we'd be with her right now instead of Luci.

Luciana actually got more development.

And the marriage thing was already solved dude, why the hell would they keep going if there was no marriage danger anymore.

Then you're simply not seeing the point being made. The point I'm making is that this relationship is born purely out of impulse and selfishly wanting Luci to ourselves. We ran the risk of losing one of our toys to someone else, so no it is our ultimate favourite number one toy that we've always loved even though before this we treated it with about the same amount of affection as all our other toys.

This isn't love, this is pure, full-on wanting her to ourselves, so we'll enter a relationship with her so as to guarantee that nobody else will ever have a shot at her.

All the other girls have had equal degrees of development with us, most of all Sylvie, who we then b.s.'d to avoid getting involved with because we knew she was going to pine for us and hold out for us and therefore it was guaranteed that we'd never lose her to some other guy.

>pre duel kiss
Was Luci being Luci and pushing her personal affections onto us. Reinhold would've reacted precisely the same if any other one of the girls, such as Sylvie, had kissed him pre-duel. Just because Luci was the one who did it doesn't make her 'the one'.
>>
>>30008666
She fit more dude, I was going for Marianne myself but when the vote came it made sense.
Reinhold's past interactions along with his reaction made it seem like going with her was the most sensible thing, IC.

>he didn't want anybody else to have her
Which is a thing that people in love tend to do
you know that right?

"I never knew my parents," you begin. "I was found by the owner of a brothel in Cateno at his doorstep when I was just a few days ago, I have no idea why they decided to dump me THERE of all places, but that's how it turned out."
"So does that mean that you were..." Luciana gasps.
"No, the boss never sold me or anything like that," you reply. "He even beat up a few guys who tried to, uh, 'purchase my services,'" you say, shuddering. "I was mostly stuck cleaning up the mess that was left after, uh... you know, along with serving food and drinks to the better customers and pretty much whatever else they didn't feel like doing themselves."

Luciana's already upset from the little that you've just said, but Marianne's doing her best to keep her calm so you continue talking.

"I can only really remember doing this stuff when I was four, that's about as far back as I can remember," you say. "I'd help out wherever I was able, and the top girl there, Spinelle..."

Just saying her name makes you want to vomit.

"...she was always pretty nice to me up until then, so I didn't really understand just how awful my life actually was back then."
"That's the name of..." Marianne mutters under her breath.
"So I'd get beaten up whenever the Boss got drunk, which was pretty much every other night, but Spinelle would always hug me and tell me that it would be... god damn it," you say, shaking your head. "Anyways, I could handle it, you know?"

I'm sorry that it didn't go the way you thought, or take as long as you think it should, but the medium we use (quest threads) basically HAVE to function at an accelerated pace or they risk getting bogged down forever. It'd be like leaving Namek to go to Namek. Oh, and to get there, you have to travel through Namek.

>when I was just a few days ago
>>
>>30008701
Not really. The fact that you can't come up with a better rebuttal just tells me that you know I'm right but don't want to admit that you got suckered in by your own greediness.

Here's a fun fact: This scenario actually happens plenty of times in real life. People end up wanting someone even more just because there was the chance that someone else could've had them - even if they don't love that person, just the knowledge that said person was pining for them, wanting them, and they didn't need to do shit to reciprocate was enough. But the moment that person might become someone else's? SHE'S MY TRUE LOVE! I MUST HAVE HER!

I just kinda got it as Reinhold's more of a passive guy in terms of relationships, especially due to his past.

I mean he wouldn't actively go for one himself, especially due to his history.

Basically whoever softly advanced past confession first in a "lock" situation would be the most likely girl for Rein to be with.

He couldn't make his mind, someone had to for him

"That's the name of..." Marianne mutters under her breath.

WHO MARRIE WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?
>>
>>30008823
You wouldn't say that it's the name "of" someone/something if you were referring to something you overheard. It'd have been something like "That's the name you..." or "That's the name that..."

When you say something's the name OF something, you're attributing it to a specific thing or individual.

Much the way that, if Millien came up, we'd say "That's the name of... [that one slightly less dick-ass noble we met!]".

Her saying it like this means it's a name she's attributing to an actual person.

It's possible given Giancarlo's proclivities and the fact that we've heard that his wife seems to share them that Spinelle could've married up and out of the brothel as well.

It could be both, but it's more leaning towards she might possibly know who she is.

It is either
>"That's the name of the woman he said when I froze him to the wall!"
or
>"That's the name of... [person she knows]"

Again, the latter is more possible. I feel she would've said something else if it was the former.
>>
>>30008850
I'd be inclined to agree it made sense IC if it wasn't prompted by 'fuck we might lose the Luci route? Grab flags quick!' reaction.

It felt right at the time for the players. It was an in-character decision. They comforted Lucy after the whole big ordeal and where given a difficult choice. They could either confirm the feelings that both Rein and Lucy had displayed multiple times in the Quest or leave her alone in her most vulnerable moment and deny that their were feeling between them again. At that point, it didn't even seem like a choice it was basically unanimous . It made sense in character and if you feel like it's too fast, maybe it is, but neither do I think that makes the characters invalid.

"So I didn't know just how bad I had it because it was just as bad as it always was, and then when I was around seven, Citrine ended up getting taken in as one of the working girls too because of a shipwreck or something... she'd never tell me what exactly happened with that, so I stopped asking after a while," you say.
"So those rumors that Marius Lanzmann's wife was a..." Luciana gasps.
"She's not one anymore, though," Marianne says, turning to her.
"I- I know that, she seems to be a really sweet girl," she replies. "I'm just kind of surprised that people as cheerful as Reinhold and his sister could have come from a background like that."

"Yeah, that's thanks to Citrine," you say. "She pretty much declared that I was her little brother within a month of when she started working there, and she'd take me out to buy candy and generally try to cheer me up whenever she wasn't, you know..."

There's something else that makes you sick when you think about it.

"This is also around the time when Volker and Adrien would show up... their boss would rent out the entire place for himself and Citrine was too young for him so those two would just kind of hang around and tell me stories about their adventures and all that stuff," you say.
"So Volker and this other guy didn't, um-" Luciana mumbles.
"No, they weren't interested in that kind of thing," you reply. "So they'd just kill time while their boss was with the other girls, and that usually resulted in me and Citrine getting treated to food and stuff."

Just remembering that shit makes you want to vomit.

Reinhold had an outlet. I mean to get as good as he did, he spent ALL DAY practicing sword forms and mastering the Eschenwald style he learned over like a week until he was arguably better at it than Volker, who had an actual teacher for most of the time. Then once he joined the military he just did more TRAINING, and probably did it instead of going to whatever whores the other army guys did. Even as a royal guard he does TRAINING out of pure habit and is as good as nobles with personal tutors who probably started way younger than him and grew up with better nutrition and exercise.

He's probably not that mentally healthy, shit even just accidentally grazing someone's butt sent him into a PSTD flashback, but he's at least focusing on something.

Well lets just start of with an arbitrary number like 1 rape per 5 days: 365 counts of rape. Which is a lot of fucking rape.

That's rape-dungeon tier. I wonder if Spinelle ever got pregnant.

God forbid we meet Spinelle again. His trauma+the /tg/ voices in his head would drive him into a vicious murder spree that would make even Gregory afraid.
>>
>>30009429
>Rein's already a daddy
Goddamnit son, when are we meeting the kid
he'll come seeking revenge for 'abandoning' his mother

>>30009429

If only Reinhold was older we could make jokes about Karel.
>>
>>30009202
Only way this gets better is if we're dropped as damaged goods

E.g. Lucy is reconsidering and can't just straight drop Reinhold so let's it go a little before trying to stop this softly


I dunno, would be interesting to see"I want the world to burn" Reinhold

>>30009429
I think Arch mentioned that birth control is a thing in this setting. So probably not.
>>
>>30009421

She did it whenever they got the chance. She has a bedroom geared for sex and Reinhold never went to school.

She may have done it multiple times a day.

"Th... this 'Boss' person never put a stop to it?" Luciana asks as she tries to dry her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Spinelle was the top earner at the brothel and Citrine didn't get all that much in comparison, so the Boss just dismissed it as jealous gossip when she told the first time," you say, shaking your head. "And after a while, I just kind of gave up on expecting him to do anything about it... he even caught her once when she pushed me against the wall not too long before I ran away, and all he said was 'don't damage the merchandise.'"
"That's disgusting," Marianne says with a cold glare.

You then continue your story with the next few awful years of your life. You mention Volker's death, the time you hunted down and killed a guy for beating Citrine up when you were nine, the time you killed a guy who tried to mug the two of you when you were ten, the day you finally listened to Citrine's constant pushing you to run away because you were on the brink of slaughtering everyone in that place aside from her... all of it.

And by the time you're done, you feel like you're going to vomit and both Luciana and Marianne are bawling.

she was at most molested once

Reinhold dealt with 5 years of rape


Those aren't the same

Yeah, you were expecting that reaction. You sure as hell weren't HOPING for it, but you were definitely expecting it.

After giving yourselves a few minutes to recover from the sheer weight of that story, you get up from the chair that you were sitting in and push it back under the table.

There was an NPR piece on this very topic. Whores are at their most valuable in the last few months of pregnancy.

Market sets that because of the danger to the health of the mother/baby, the desirability by certain parties. the rarity, and the potential loss in value by the "worker" after the fact.

I mean... now that you know everything. I'll understand if this is too much."
>>
>>30009798
Well, I pussyfooted around girls for a long time. Not out of fear or discomfort, but because I knew what being the target of sexual aggression was like and I had no idea where the lines were drawn in regards to what was and what was not acceptable behavior.

Until I met a girl who was into BDSM and was a total submissive. Turns out, I REALLY REALLY PREFER being in control during sex (big shocker, I know). And since BDSM is all about defined borders and clear communication, I don't worry about being 'too aggressive' anymore.
>>
>>30009891
That's too coherent and put together to be something Reinhold would say.
>>
>>30009895

These sound good.

More seriously, this is probably closer to the way we'd actually respond. It's the first time we've really ever opened up to anybody about this aside from Citrine, and she was there in the middle of it all.

It's important that we make sure they know that things are better now. A lot better. But better doesn't just un-happen things overnight.

It's a process, and to be perfectly honest, it's a process we haven't put that much effort into until recently. But we're sort of that that point where it's starting to sink in that it's really over now, and maybe it's safe to start trying to get past it instead of just running away on reflex like how we joined the army.
>>
>>30009862
Sure

>>30009907
THE MORE YOU KNOW
>>
>>30009832
Try to smile.

"But that's just my past. I don't want you to think differently of me after this.

Citrine is married to a man who loves her madly, I love my job, I have a soft bed and plenty of food, I have good friends who care about me, I have a Grandmother, and I have a girlfriend.

I'm not over everything that happened, but I'm dealing with it, and I have a future that I'm looking forward to."

Give Luciana a hug.

She was the owners top girl so that would assume it is likely.

It's common for victims to not want to tell people about it because they think other people will think less of them. Reinhold might be worried that Luciana might back out of the relationship.

She WAS the top earner

>Rein is all about "Luciana is YOURS, damnit!".

I can personally find it believable, to a degree.

Reinhold has always flown into a protective, homicidal rage at the thought of any of his friends being in danger. He says he'd do it for any of his friends, but all his "friends" are hot young women and he hasn't had many male friends we know of to compare them to.

Presumably any other route would have ended in the exact same way.

Most of the railroading was either bad rolls or decisions that we made that didn't pan out the way we wanted.

If Reinhold had managed to crit Monique and beat his Sealed King, he probably wouldn't have gotten the offer. If Reinhold decided to modify his old sword NOW we might have rematched him and disgraced him enough for Celestino to reconsider. If Reinhold had made a million different decisions we'd have a totally different set of circumstances.

We talk about being railroaded into things, but a lot of it is either luck of the draw or decisions we made. /tg/ has been making shit decisions and it's more accurate to say that we blundered into a route lock than anyone forced us to it or we chose it.

Really all this talk of Flags and Routes seems a bit dumb to me anyway.

This is a quest thread, not a visual novel. We aren't locked into our decisions and there's enough wiggle room that we might send Arch off the rails at any point. Assuming we can get locked into a specific relationship forever when the story is only like half over, or that somehow Arch has accounted for every possibility imaginable from multiple POV's to construct a byzantine labyrinth of flags is asinine.

bullshit, she had a route because we could have a relationship with her. Only, everyone wanted lewdmage and didn't bother with Nico. Arch even said that he thought we'd go with the tomboy and that we could have gotten into a relationship with her if we got her "attention".
>>
"so, umm... yeah," you shrug. "I'd normally have some kind of joke, but I'm coming up empty."

This probably isn't the type of situation where a joke would be appropriate anyways.

"Look..." you say, sighing. "I know that this was a lot, but I don't want it to affect the way that both of you act around me from this point on. This is all in the past for me, and I'm... well, I'm -trying- to move on, and I'd at least like to think that I've been doing a decent job of that."
"Considering that I'd expect someone with a background like yours to have grown up to become a serial murderer or something, I suppose you really have," Marianne replies as she places an arm around Luciana's shoulders.

"I just wanted you to know that I'm not comfortable with certain situations and it'll be a long time before I -am- comfortable in those situations, even with someone who wasn't, uh, forceful," you say. "But like I said, that's just in my past and I don't want you two to think differently of me after this... though I couldn't exactly blame you if you didn't want to deal with someone with my issues, Luciana," you sigh.

Luciana shakes her head as he dabs a handkerchief to her eyes and slowly rises to her feet.

"Reinhold, what kind of person would I be if I dumped you just because you've had horrible things happen to you in the past?" Luciana says, looking at you with a weak smile.

>we could have gotten into a relationship with her if we got her "attention"
I thought we kinda sorta did.
>>
>>30010540
We got her attention, just not her "attention"

I think archelon is naive if he doesn't understand why people went with Sylvie. People only went with her because MAGIC, and nothing else. They didn't go with her because they genuinely wanted her route, they just wanted magic lessons and we kept picking up flags from those.

Which is really selfish and really sours me on the entire waifu war because Nico truly is best girl. Then we shot her out of the running because we had a selfish lust for magic power. Completely abandoning the nico for her best friend.
>>
>>30010555
everyone wanted to hang out with lewdmage more
>>
>>30010445

Yes.

The duel was winnable and Nico was a route. Big surprise, this is a quest and player decisions matter, such as how right now Reinhold is telling the girl he (we) chose as his prospective wife the sob story of his life.

On that note, I suppose Rein will be eating his lunch with the princesses as well?

I hope he gets chance to hit the all-you-can-eat place with Nico and Rana before going to Granache (unless he somehow ends up staying in Marconetti)

>>30010567
No, everyone wanted magic lessons more.

When it didn't involve magic lessons people were running the fuck away from her.
>>
>>30010448
>We aren't locked into our decisions

So you've been neglecting to read the past several threads where it's been outright stated that we're in a relationship with Luci and even Reinhold has pointed out that it's either stay in a relationship with her or be in deep shit.
>>
>>30010554
oh god they're going to share something from their past too aren't they?

You know, this entire waifu thing has been a fucking trainwreck.

It doesn't help that the clueless pawns in this thread genuinely believe that the Luciana vote wasn't samefagged ridiculously by bitter faggots in QTG who want to and continue to attempt to ruin the quest any way they can, especially when they openly admit that they samefag any vote that they think is going to piss us off

So you'd rather believe that people on 4chan were PRETENDING to be assholes to piss people off, as opposed to actually BEING assholes to piss people off, because the latter means that your waifu's route lock wasn't legitimately something that a majority vote wanted.

Fair enough. It's your perogative to believe that. It's over, one way or another. I'm just gonna wait for the visual novel and marry Luci off to Monique, myself.
>>
>>30010644
Even so, I believe it

I don't think we've had a legitimate vote in a while. There are not eighty people who lurk these threads, yet we easily get 80 votes every time something major happens. And only when something major happens

To say that the votes are not being samefagged is merely a comforting lie at this point.

"Everyone has problems, I'm just glad that you didn't let yours turn you into a bitter person," Luciana says.
"You can thank Citrine for that," you reply. "She always told me not to let troubles bring me down and to focus on the little things that make me happy, so..."
"Then I suppose I shall thank her the next time I see her," she says, smiling at you. "Umm... I would hug you right now, but I guess I ought to keep my distance because you-"

Before Luciana can even finish her sentence, you pull her into a hug.

"Wha- Reinhold!?" Luciana gasps, her face turning bright red.
"Hugs are just fine," you say. "I like hugs... and, umm, kissing, it's just that I get antsy when anything past that is involved."
"Oh..." she giggles. "That's a relief," she says as she returns your hug.

After a little while, you let go of each other and Luciana heads back to the couch to help Marianne up.

"It is indeed," Marianne says as she's pulled to her feet by her friend. "At least you're learning some modesty."
"Yeah," you say, laughing nervously. "When we're alone is one thing, but I've never really been one for public displays of affection."
"You're no fun, Reinhold..."

Something just occurred to me. Monigue is a cock, yes. Just... just a gigantic asshole. Even if you like him and or want to give him the benefit of the doubt, that's true.

But the thing is, he's really goddamn competent. He basically cleaned up the entire border and wiped out the bandit population. He's been a far more powerful mage than us for quite a long time, even before he got the sealed king. He got to the final round in the bro-country swording tournament, and while Sir Greg and Vincent and shit obviously didn't enter, Granache is monster country. And then he got a sealed king. And while he may have been absurdly lucky, you apparently have to be a badass to be even considered for that sort of shit.

So maybe he deserves a knighthood. Not a shit ass Marconetti knighthood, but then it's entirely possible that the only reason he didn't have one in Granache is that everyone hated him and kept him on the border. Which, again, he was really fucking good at protecting.

So yeah, we don't like him. Hell, I voted to punch his bitch face and I'd vote to do it again. But maybe he does, actually deserve this shit.

>>
>>30011612

I'm sure he'd make a valid candidate under different circumstances, but considering knighthood is supposed to also represent character virtues, knighting him just because he owns a snazzy sword does not seem very right, especially after his rule-bending shenanigans during the duel.
>>
>>30011613
I can't imagine Morning Melon lasts more than a half-hour or so, if it did it would be less of a quirk and something approaching a medical condition.
>>
>>30011612
I'll say Monique is slightly more deserving of a knighthood than Reinhold, but neither of them are at the level of competence needed to be a knight in this world.
>>
>>30011641
Then do what I do and skip past the stuff that's tedious and not to your liking. Just focus on the stuff that's still actually fun.
>>
>>30011612

>>
>>30011657

>>
>>30011612
He doesn't even work on the goddamn place, remember his subordinate complaining he never shows up?
>>
>>30011653
I'm with you on that. This is not why he should get a knighthood. In fact, it's probably why he isn't ready. But leaving it aside, he might actually deserve one a little bit. I guess what I was going for is he has the proper competence in Granache and the proper character of Marconetti. So maybe this is fair to him.

>>30011663
It's not just that. He's smart enough to root out the bandits and stop raids and shit. The borders are more or less the safest they've ever been since this was one big kingdom. And he did it despite everyone hating him, because he's remarkably competent.
>>
>>30011612
you realize he wasn't the only person patrolling the border, right? The way you make it seem like he's the only person on the border cleaning up bandits when there is an entire army that does just that thing.

For all we know he spent most of his time jerking off his ego and harassing the royals who crossed the border, things we've seen him do and have no reason to believe he hasn't done before. Which is where all the ire for Monique comes from: even if he is a competent swordsman, he's still worse than Reinhold or anyone else we've met and seemingly competent at nothing that we've seen, yet is being showered with praise and rewards for winning the magic lottery.
>>
>>30011673
I'm watching 8 Out Of 10 Cats on YouTube, myself.
>>
>>30011705
Archelon's word of god was that he cleaned up the border. Or at least it was cleaned up because of his direction.
>>
>>30011682

Which is also part of the problem - Celestino most likely wants to make him an inspiration/leader of men, but Monique is fucking awful at that. He works better solo, even if he doesn't realize it.

what border protection?
He was on the Marconetti/Granache Border. Bandits? piss easy for literally everyone in the castle, Reinhold included. Yes, he is better at magic, but we kinda started about a month ago, remember? There was practically no danger for him to face. He was competent only because it is damn near impossible for him to be a possible rival and remain incompetent.
>>
>>30011656
I would love you try to justify that after comparing Monique's actions through the quest

What exactly has he done that is earning of any sort of praise or virtue? The guy is a creep who's only accomplishment is hanging off higher ranking nobility like a remora and finding a magic stick. One of those seemingly being granted to him because of plot conveniences and not actually because he is good at any one skill that we've seen.

>>
>>30011756

>>
>>30011716
Find that post, because I think you are horribly taking that out of context.

He's not even at his job half of the time, his co-workers are picking up the slack for him because he's off trying to get into some nobles pants.

And even if he did 'clean up the border' it's silly to think that he did it alone, which is what is being implied, that somehow it's not the border guard who did it, it was Monique and Monique alone. And from what we've seen, the guy is too much of a pompous oaf to even do his job correctly instead of being the social ladder climbing douchebag that he was painted to be at the start of the quest.

Because from what I remember, that wasn't archelon directly talking, that was from Monique's perspective. And who the fuck knows what he thinks.
>>
>>30011773
Only because he found a magic stick.

We wrecked him in one duel before, and we nearly wrecked him with his magic stick. What reason do we have to believe that we wouldn't re-wreck him if it was a no magic stick fight?
>>
>>30011756
That's Monique doing his job, there are other border guards who do their job and they too are the reason the borders are clean.

Knighthood isn't for those people.

"...well isn't -this- a nice scene," you say with the widest grin you can muster. "Good morning, you two."
"Ssssshut up, dumbass," Nicolette mumbles. "Melanie INSISTED that I let her braid my hair, that's the only reason why I'm letting her do this at all."
"Good Morning, Mr. Reinhold," Melanie says, nodding her head to you as she continues braiding. "Umm, I was awakened by the messenger who told us about King Celestino's anouncement this morning, so I got dressed as quickly as I could and headed over here."
"And then she demanded to do my hair right away," Nicolette mumbles. "You're really fu- freaking weird in the morning, you know that?"

Ah, so that would explain the hair braiding. You're honestly kind of surprised that Melanie was even able to dress herself if she was in the state you saw her in yesterday morning, but that's neither here nor there...

"But, umm..." Melanie sighs, "...Miss Nicolette and I were supposed to go shopping today, but those plans are cancelled thanks to that announcement that King Celestino is making," she says, frowning slightly. "It's a shame, I was rather looking forward to it."
"You're not the only one," Nicolette says, rolling her eyes.

not that guy, but I also remember that post.

Monique is pretty diligent and skilled, even if he's a dick and we don't like him.
>>
>>30011793
He's better at magic even without his sword. Magic he cannot use during tournaments.
>>
>>30011815
Okay, you're right

That's not Monique being pompous, that's archelon trying to retcon the hell out of Monique so he's not -quite- the despicable fuckstain we know of him being.
>>
>>30011814

Monique, must you ruin absolutely everything?

Nico shouldn't even have to be there. It's not like Marianne who has an official responsability.
>>
>>30011815
Not him but that is some top-level character retooling.

Remember at the start when he was painted as basically being a prettyboy who only cared about climbing the social ladder? Those were the days.
>>
>>30011840
I wasn't involved in the discussion, I just saw your request and thought it would be quick and easy to fulfill.
That said, I think it's fine for Monique to be competent at managing men. He's still a shitty person and doesn't deserve half the things he's getting.
>>
>>30011840

He's like the asshole boss who nevertheless manage to get results, but at the cost of making all of his subordinates hate him.
>>
>>30011869

Even then he was the captain, and granache's administration does not seem like a bunch that would hand out strategic positions out just for a pretty face.

I guess they might have wanted to have him out of the castle though.
>>
>>30011852

This is doing of Reinhold's future father-in-law, not Monique, though.
>>
>>30011882
Thanks anon. I was the anon who posted the first thing, glad you found it.
>>
>>30011912

I know, but it's fun to pretend Monique sours everything by his very existence.
>>
>>30011893
All his subordinates actually respect him, and he seemed like an alright boss, just treats his second command terribly cause whatever Monique has something more important to do he shoves his Second the work load.
>>
>>30011869
I mean, during our interactions with him he WAS in that mode. It's as much a part of his character as his actual work is.

> Thanks to certain manipulations of the Border Guard's schedule on my part, I have no need to report for duty until noon so there is plenty of time before I need to get going.

>"If it's any consolation, I'll do my best to make it up to you when I get back."
>"You already owe me enough as it is... who the hell do you think was stuck covering for you during that month that you up and vanished? Or all those times when you decided that you just -had- to personally escort such-and-such important guest to the castle?"

His underlings do like him, for the most part, but his direct second-in-command is stuck being that sort of long-suffering grunt work guy overshadowed by his superior.

Monique actually did enough to warrant his position, and did it well, but we happen to be interacting with him at that point where he's done what it takes to secure and maintain his position, and is now just sort of resting on his laurels.

And now that Monique's getting promoted out and away to Marconetti, everyone raise your glasses to toast the well-deserved promotion of the man who was up until this moment his subordinate, Lt. Rolf Strelow.

>>30011814

"And there we are, all done!" Melanie says as she pulls a ribbon out of her pocket and ties it to the end of Nicolette's newly braided ponytail. "Ehehe... that looks really cute on you, Miss Nicolette!"
"Thanks..." Nicolette mumbles as her face slowly turns red.
"Your hair really is lovely," Melanie says, sighing. "if you'd ever actually bothered to take care of it, it would easily be as pretty as the Princess's."
"Too much effort for no actual benefit."

After some painful-sounding neck cracking, Nicolette stands up from the chair she was sitting, giving her arms and legs a nice long stretch.

"And it's not like I'm trying to impress anyone, so there's no point in wasting all that time," Nicolette says.
"I think that it would look nice, at least..." Melanie replies, pouting.

"ANYWAYS," Nicolette says, clearing her throat, "what brings you over here so early in the morning?" she turns to you.

Time to ruin her good mood...

They just need to get together so that Melanie can take the time to care for Nicolette's hair, which'll mean they'll have to bathe together, but they both would like that anyways.

"Umm..." you sigh, "...has your father told you about the details of King Celestino's offer?" you ask.
"No, he got pissed whenever I asked him so I just kind of gave up after a while," Nicolette replies. "Why, is it something bad?"
"It's better than Luciana getting married off, but I doubt you'll consider it very good news."

Here we go...

"Spill it," Nicolette says. "My plans for the day are already shot, it's not like I can't take another piece of shitty news."
"You -did- ask," you say, shaking your head. "So, umm... you know that Celestino wanted to marry off Luciana to Monique because he wanted the power of a Sealed King holder for Marconetti, right?"
"Yeah," she nods. "...he's not gonna try and give Elena to him, is he? Not that I think he'd do something like that, but..."
"No, she's safe," you reply. "But he still wanted to get Monique under his command somehow, so, uhh..."

"Quit wasting time and say it already," Nicolette says.
"He can't get him through marriage, so he's going to offer him knighthood instead," you reply.
".........WHAT."
"Yeah, I knew that you wouldn't take it well," you sigh. "And apparently, this is what the announcement later today's supposed to be about."
"Y- you mean that stupid fucking SHIT gets the title that I've DREAMED about for my entire life, just because Celestino wants his fancy sword!?" Nicolette shouts.

Yeah, she's pissed. Not that you can blame her, of course.

>>
>>30012188
Well, on the bright side we will not have to see his face so often now. Also, you should know this better than me, but it seems to me a knighthood here is obviously worlds apart from a knighthood in Granache...Though it still pisses me off that the title is being offered to someone unworthy.

"You're not trying to become a knight to get a fancy title or to impress someone else, you want to actually earn it.

Monique getting the title despite not deserving it just means his title is hollow and worthless, yours won't be."

And then hand her off to Melanie.
>>
>>30012188
>>let her vent
For a little bit. Don't let her lose her goddamn mind, but a little bit of stomping and howling is to be expected. Maybe see if Melanie can help calm her down a bit.

But that said,
>say something
She's already said her piece to us about how she wants to go about making Knighthood.

> "Yeah... it's honestly a pain in the ass, I'd probably be at the skill level necessary if not for all the guard bullshit that I have to put up with every day," Nicolette sighs.

She could've just skipped out on her Guard captaincy, taken up swordsmanship again, gone adventuring and probably been there already.

But it's never really been about making Knight at all, really; it's about living up to the standard she's set for herself in her Grandfather's memory.

And she knows for DAMN sure Monique isn't THERE.
>>
>>30012188
The kicker I bet is Monique's going to refuse the knighthood.

"If the sword is causing this much misfortune while sealed, one can only wonder if that seal was placed there for a reason."
>>
>>30012267
seriously though, how much would that go toward repairing his reputation if he did without any pushing toward it.
>>
>>30012342
We already know the reason why Setsurenka was sealed into the form of a sword.

It's because way back when a blacksmith/mage went absolutely fucking batshit and made a spell that turned Elementals into swords, then he traveled the world doing just that.
>>
>>30012342
That's a really, really retarded view on the matter.
The swords were living, thinking beings before this.
>>
>>30012344
All politics is local, it would surprise Therri and Gregory and make them reevaluate him and it would send a message to Celestine that his loyalties can't be bought with a mere title, he wants more.
>>
>>30012267
Celestino would have a fit.

He might even have a stroke or something.

Then Monique would be the guy that indirectly rid the world of that turbocunt Celestino.
>>
>>30012381

I think it's ironic how Celestino is vehemently opposed to the slave trading Ancelotta, and yet has no compunctions of using his own children as merchandise.

Do you think his hatred is fueled by guilt?
>>
>>30012267
I hope not, he is going to get stuck in this shithole until he begs Rein to challenge him to a rematch so he can have an excuse to leave after losing shamefully enough to warrant a demotion

Can he actually do that? You can't simply say no to a King's proposal, specially to something like Knighthood is, even if he doesn't believe he deserves it.

I guess it could be possible since Monique is still a subject of Thierri's rule and not Celestino, but how bad would it look on Celestino reputation if a Sealed King's Master rejects being knighted?
>>
>>30012408
Nah, Celestine's going to have some third party assassinate Monique in such a way that his sword ends up in Emilio's hands. Hopefully a fucking Sealed King is enough to get that little weakling to man the fuck up!
>>
>>30012408
That'd be something.
>>
"It pisses me off too, but try not to let it bother you too much, okay?" you say. "A title that you got without merit doesn't mean very much, so let's see who gets knighted in a country where you actually have to earn it. Our contest is still standing, right?"
"I know, but still..." Nicolette says through gritted teeth. "Becoming a Knight was my DREAM, you know? For my entire goddamned life!"

"Miss Nicolette..." Melanie looks on at her friend with an expression of concern.
"And then this fucker just gets it handed to him like it's nothing, not to mention that my entire goddamned day is SHOT now because I have to sit there and watch that little bitch 'graciously accept' the title that he DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING DESERVE!" Nicolette shouts. "God damn it, we're leaving for home tomorrow and I STILL didn't even get the chance to tell Melanie that I like-"

And then she remembers that Melanie's right here in the room with her.

Even assuming that was true, he still sealed a quite a few of them, one of which was known to feel protective of humans. An act which could turn said elemental against humans. And considering it's not even permanent, it's a stupid, stupid decision.
Face it, the guy who made the Sealed Kings was just an insane asshole.

"Oh shit... ohshitohshitoshitshit," Nicolette mumbles, dropping to her knees. "God damn it I swear to God the next time I see Monique I'm gonna-"
"M... Miss Nicolette?" Melanie gasps, her hands covering her mouth.
"AAAGH THIS ISN'T HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO!!!!" she screams.

This... this is too good. Slowly, you make your way over to the door... but not until you find out how Nicolette's accidental confession goes.

"Um, d- does this mean that the reason you wanted to go shopping was..." Melanie says, blushing nearly as hard as Nicolette is.
"...god damn it it's too late to take it back now..." Nicolette mutters under her breath. "Y- yeah," she says, turning to face Melanie. "Ummm... I was looking for the right time to finally tell you that I, uh... I like you. A lot. And uh, I'd like it if you'd become my umm..."

"Oh- oh my, I don't even know how to- I mean, I thought you liked- but we're both girls, and-" Melanie stammers.
"Eheh... of course you're not into girls..." Nicolette laughs as her eyes start to water up. "D- don't worry, we can just act like this never happened and-"

Nicolette words are cut off by Melanie moving close to her and... whoa. Oh wow. Yeah, it's time to give them some privacy. With a thumbs-up of approval, you cooly retreat from the room.

Yeah, it's nice to see that things worked out for Nicolette, though it may not have been quite in the way that she wanted.

Still though, you hope that those two get done making out before Sir Gregory gets back. Even though he seems to be okay with his daughter's preferences, Nicolette would probably die of embarrassment if he caught them in such a compromising position.

Not to mention how Melanie would react... though she -did- move in to kiss Nicolette like that while you were still in the room. Yeah, that was unexpectedly-

AHEM.

Shaking all lewd thoughts from your mind, you check your pocketwatch. It's currently 11AM, there's a few hours left until that stupid thing that you have to go to.

Hmm...

Sylvie, I guess? It's been 4 hours.

Alternatively, Rana and Reya.

I think our energy would be best spent coming up with funny knight names for Monique

snow flake knight
knight of the blue balls

this is good too

>>30012766
... my gut says it's still probably too early to go talk to Sylvie.

I'm not sure what we can do in the meantime to to soften the blow though to be honest.

Continue our rampage of despair. Talk to Sylvie.

Return to primary and secondary asset. It's way too early to break the news to tertiary asset.

Not. We should wait until later, when she can get support from someone that she isn't in love with.

Have we even had breakfast anyway?
If not, back to Luciana and Marianne.
>>
>>30012766
I guess it's time to break Sylvie's heart. I don't see a way to let her down easy.
>>
>>30012766
Don't talk to Sylvie just yet.

If she doesn't take it well, she's going to go to Nicolette to vent, and the LAST thing we need is her running to go talk to Nico and busting in on Nico and Melon being all lovey-dovey, both ruining Nico's newly-happy mood AND rubbing Sylvie's face in her romantic issues.

Go let Luciana and Marianne know how Nico took the news, maybe drop the good news about her and Melanie, and generally find a way to kill maybe an hour or so before going to talk to Sylvie.
>>
>>30012829
We've had breakfast and this is probably our last oppurtunity to do it befor Celestino makes his announcement.
>>
>>30012833
Actually, maybe an hour is a little long now that I'm thinking about it. The announcement is at 2, but we're probably going to be gathering earlier, and we want there to be some time for Sylvie to process and potentially vent to Nico before we're all stuffed into a room and made to watch all sorts of pomp around Monique.

Half-hour, maybe?
>>
>>30012833

This.

Calling it a night here, guys.
Pretty enjoyable thread tonight, despite the backstory taking a lot longer to finish writing up than I'd initially expected.
I'd also meant to have Nicolette blab about her crush on Melanie later on, but the time seemed right and so it went.
Next thread will be Tuesday night.

As always, thanks for playing!

Chances are, since it is closer to noon, Sylvie might be with others since it's due to be time to eat.

However, depending on how she took the news, there's still a good chance she'll still be alone as well, or venting to Nico. Whether or not to choose to dwell before lunchtime or after will not end great one way or another.

In foresight, maybe we should've talked about Sylvie when we were with Nico? Eh, it's too late.
>>
>>30012872
Thank you for the thread! I loved it. Sweet pure Melanie x Nico.

By the way I was rooting for Sylvie, but what you're doing with Luciana makes my kokoro go doki doki too.
>>
>>30012874
>In foresight, maybe we should've talked about Sylvie when we were with Nico? Eh, it's too late.
We did this when we talked with Nico after getting back to her suite the previous night, though.

Pretty sure matters haven't really changed since yesterday.

>>30012872
Thanks for runnign.

Well, maybe more about where she is or if she has seen her. I'm honestly sure she's still in her room. Maybe. But again, it is close to eating times.

>>30012872

See you next time, arch

G'night.

But since you ended with the Nico confession I'm too happy to sleep. So you get an angry Yukipo.
