You grip your knees.
"I should have been here. She should have said something. She doesn't need to be hurt like this."

Micheal takes your hand. "I feel terrible. I should have been guarding you, not running off with some illusion."

"Annelin..."

"Micheal, I'm your guardian! It's my job. My only job. And I fell for something like that. The security in this place is laughable. We can hardly trust the staff."

"So what should we do about it?" he asks.

"We need to proof the place against demons." you say. "As many ways as we can. Hire some associates through Ja'al, paint the place in wards. Keep them out." you say. Micheal is writing on Karl's desk, dipping his quill. "Prepare the guards for more danger. Prepare yourself. And..."

If Monica learns how to properly defend him I have no objection to adding her to the Prince's company of guards. Also, we're promoting ourself to Guard Captain once we start hiring help.

Something like this for the Anti-fuckup Prince Protection Ring Mk.II?

>>30896926
>>30896950
Yeah this. Though we should hire a secondary guard since we have to sleep eventually.

Also, where's the Kong in all this hullabaloo.

You sigh, rolling your eyes.
"Some privacy can be afforded, of course, but we must remain close as possible." you grumble. He nods quietly, and he leans back. "What were you writing?"

"Royal orders." he says. "Regarding the wards and the like. Dedicating parts of the treasury to the effort."

"You can do that?"

"So long as father doesn't veto it." he says, drafting another. "And this one assigns you to constant shifts with me." he says, smiling at you.

Monica stirs, sitting up, her face written with pain.

Tear up.
"I'm so sorry."
Hug.

>>30897118

>>30897182
Try our best not to crush her.

>>30897118
"Hey, do you remember anything?"

>>30897118
"Monica you're still seriously injured, please try not to move yet." Gently reach out to support her, then lower her back to the bed. "You did an amazing job Monica, Michael's safe because you were there standing guard, but it came at a cost. Your leg has been hexed, Karl and Ja'al are trying to get a replacement made as quickly as possible, but it will still be a few days. On top of that, your throat's taken soul damage. You will be able to speak again, but we don't know how long it will take to heal. Most everything else has been patched up, but you lost a lot of blood so take it easy for now."

"And thank you Monica, for being there when I wasn't. I don't know how or when, but I will make this right."

>>30897288
Dude, she can't talk and probably doesnt have the coordination to handle a pen yet. Might want to start by getting her some water and seeing if she's ready to eat something.

>>30897118
I assume we were sitting next to Monny for a few hours, not a minute and a half before she woke up?

>>30897365
((Yes.))

"Monica!" you manage, gently supporting her - then giving her a small hug. She rasps, then makes a small shocked gasp - an inhalation of shock. She tries to speak, again and again, tears in her eyes as you explain her injuries, She looks at you, then at Micheal, then down at her leg.

Micheal takes her hand, and you take the other, and she weeps openly, scars marring her arms and neck, one leg missing. She can't even sob, only whispering noises leak from her mouth.
Micheal reaches behind the bed, retrieving a board and chalk, and she writes hurriedly.

'Is everyone okay'

"Aside from you?" Micheal asks. "You were the only one injured permanently."

'That is good I am sorry'

'I should have called out'

'I was selfish I wanted to show'

you don't have any training, and if raev didn't help us...

>>30897599
"You wouldn't be alive now if you weren't strong."

>>30897662
This is good. If she says anything about our using a boon to empower her softly lie and say that was just Raev leveling the playing field.

Also we need to ask her if she's still serious about being with Michael, because if so, like it or not, we're forcing her to learn how to fight.

>>30897599
"It's not weakness to want to protect the people you care about."

>>30897599
"You saved the Prince. You're still alive. You're plenty strong."

>>30897599
"There are different kinds of strength."

>>30897599
"Monica, you... You're plenty strong. We're all alive, and it's thanks to that. Even if Raeve blessed you on my request, you were brave enough to stand there."

'but they were but tiny demons'

Wipe.

You grasp her hand before she can write more.
"There are different kinds of strength, Monica."

A pause.

Wipe.
'That is true.' she writes, then wipes. 'I'm not giving up yet.' she smiles at you with determination, a fire in her eyes you didn't expect in the slightest.

You smile back.
"I'd expect nothing less." you say happily. Karl sighs behind you and Micheal, raising an eyebrow as she grins.

"Well. If you would all clear out, I need to examine her now that she's conscious." he says, and you and Micheal leave.

"So..." he scratches the back of his head. "What now?"

>>30898205
"We're talking to Ja'al." you say, pulling him along. Ja'al smiles up at you when you enter the room. "The initial warding of the castle is complete!"

"...What?"

"I figured it might be wise to encircle the castle with wards, which would create a larger, more powerful ward. Like, uhm... Imagine a suit of armor made of tiny, tiny suits of armor itself."

"...?"

"And then those tiny armors are made of even smaller ones! Recursive Warding!" he grins. "This way I don't have to paint the whole castle - but I'll be working on individual rooms as well." he hums to himself.

You describe the ring you had in mind, and he thinks. "Well... I could make a ring that works like Shocking. It won't make him bleed, just zap him. I'll make both, in case of antimagic." he says, setting himself to work.

"...Shouldn't you be working on Monica's leg?" you ask, and he freezes up.

"Y-yeah, I... I probably should, huh?"

>Writein.

>>30898382
Don't worry, we'll find someone in town to make the ring. You focus on that leg.

>>30898382
"you did a really great job with my hand, but for her it'll probably be better if it can be discrete"

>>30898382
"She's awake now, you probably need to do some check up too, I guess?"

>>30898382
Ask how long the ring will take to make before deciding whether it's worth it for him to do that first.

>>30898417
this, its a basic thing to have done, sent someone to place the order, never leave the castle. and dont forget to USE THE EYE, NO WARDS WERE MADE, FALSE SECURITY IS OUR WEAKNESS .

Ask him if we could just buy one in town.

>>30898382
Get one commisioned from a jeweler. In secret, of course.

>We can get someone Karl can trust to make the ring; prioritize Monica for now.

"Well, we could have someone else make that ring."

"That... Sort of isn't the problem." Micheal says. "She wouldn't wear a leg made by Ja'al."

"But my hand is fine..." you say, spinning it for emphasis.

"She doesn't trust critters." Ja'al says flatly. "Never has. Her father's shipping company and the docks are staffed almost entirely by humans, unless ogres can be coerced to work for food." he says, "She hates most Dra, and people like me..." he sighs.

"But..."

"Are you shocked?" Micheal asks. "That's how it is, sometimes. Totally kind people can be... intolerant, ignorant. I've tried to talk her down from it, but she dismisses many of my ideals as a phase."

>Writein

>>30898683
Facepalm. "Ok, that's mildly insane, but ok. How bad an idea would it be for me to have a talk with her about that later?"

>>30898683
"well in that case she'd better learn to walk with clutches... anyway, if she doesn't want help that'll leave you enough time to work on the new ring, right?"

>>30898683
"well if she doesn't want a leg then who are we to say otherwise. shes a big girl, she can make her own choices."

>>30898683
"If /you/ built the leg, could you have it done in time for the party?"

>>30898764

car parts probably arent a great substitute for a leg but thats just me

>>30898764
>>30898817
crutches....

>>30898803
Hmmm

"Well, if she doesn't want a new leg..."

Micheal frowns.
"We'll make one. If she turns it down, then she can sit and stew in the medical ward through the party." he says. "She's not disrespecting my friend again."

"I'll send out the order for the ring to a friend of mine." Ja'al says. "Rainbows On Sunny Day, most folks call her Rainbow." he says, getting back to work on the leg. "And hopefully Monica can get over her issues." he says quietly.

Micheal palms his forehead as you leave the room.

"Well. Father is handling preparations. I think I need a nap."

That's when you remember that you and the prince, while not far apart, share separate rooms.

>Writein

We should give him a thumbtack that can he can stab himself with so he can summon us if shit gets real.

Take up position outside his room after varifying that no one is lurking inside /and/ that the windows, balcony etc. are secure. Also remind him that if he so much as thinks of sneaking out after we lost and arm and Monica nearly died protecting him we will kick his ass into next Thursday.

We should find another Guard to stand at the door and get a chair in his room to sleep in then.

Yeah, but how skeevy would it feel to bed down with him right after all that? I suppose we could go sleep in the tub in his suite if we had to...

>>30899173

>>30899291

>>30899291
It's of a guy we had a one night stand with, not sure why the image hasn't been updated since nothing came of him.

>>30899343
Because no-one has drawn an image of Annelin ruffling Michael's hair yet.

Because no one can come up with a better subtitle than what the current pic has

>>30899328

You sigh, fetching a chair and another guard. "Go on, then." you say, entering the room with him. You set down your chair and flop into it, still in the black dress, feeling tired beyond words.

"...You know, you don't have to sleep in the chair." he says.

Okay, yeah. You never really looked, but that bed of his could hold three people without issue.

Not so much the implications, but I think jumping up from a chair would be easier than being snug in bed, if something happens

Much as snuggles would be nice, we should get distracted. Just sleep in a chair, facing him. And prop a bell or a clock or something else that makes noise in front of the door so we know if someone tries to get in.

"Why can't you let me sleep in peace?"

"You are sleeping." Haru Umda says. "When you wake, you'll be nice and energized for the day of... Whatever it is you humans do." he waves it off. "But the ones aiming for your prince, ah, we have a common foe! And there's no better way to contact you!"

"...And what am I to do about it?"

"...What you're already doing." he grumbles.

"Apologies for my Lord's brashness," Garibaldi whispers to you in his own head, "But we really cannot predict when you will arrive. And my Lord does not possess the intellect, nor do I, to form a proper plan."

"The man's got a hold of almost every damn clan! They all want to run around topside! But that fucks things up! Demons can't make demons! If we kill people, that makes things worse!

How would we even give them to him? What would he even do with weaklings?

"I have a friend who's trying to summon demons. Is there a chance the Lord of Lords is blocking him?"

"If he's trying to summon anything but a Warrior? Yes." Haru Umda states, leaning on his other fist. "But summoning a Warrior is dangerous. It's not a big shock that a meager summoner would fear my men!" he guffaws, then catches himself. "Er. Sorry."

"So... I should just keep the prince safe."

"Well, you know the name of a reasonable Warrior! Tell that summoner!" he says. "Then maybe we can interact on a more suitable level!" he growls. "Something tells me you've a soul that belongs to a strong woman! If you please me, then I'll grace you with my co-"

You start awake, blinking. The sun hasn't even risen yet, the Prince in a robe, looking up at the stars.

>>30900573
Voting against telling Michael about our dream before morning.

>>30900704
No. We tell him now and there's no way he's sleeping the night through.

"Trouble sleeping?" you rise, Eyeing him as you walk past and check for danger out the window.

"Yeah." he says. "Tomorrow..." he sighs, then shakes his head. "What about you?"

"I think some demons spoke to me. Haru Umda told me things."

He raises an eyebrow.
"And what'd he tell you?"

"We'll talk with Ja'al about it in the morning. What's bothering you?"

He frowns.
"I don't... I don't like hurting girls." he says, leaning on the balcony. "It's amazing to have two beautiful young ladies so desirous of me, but... If I turn to one, I turn away from the other." he says, "And... Well, if I pick neither, then I'm hurting them both. They're both such wonderful people..." he groans. "Clown is laughing..."

>>30900947
"Michael, it'll hurt us both a lot worse if you wind up unhappy. If you choose Monica over me, I'll be heartbroken but I'll get over it-I'm sure she will too." hug him gently. "Be a little selfish and do what's right for you. You'll be the king, you might not get the opportunity a lot."

>>30900983

>>30900947
"You know how you'll know when you find the right person Michael? You won't balk at the cost of loving them. She's out there, somewhere, probably thinking about things entirely unrelated to love, but she's there. If fate is kind then your paths, however unlikely, with cross."

>>30901139
Are you honestly, at this stage, trying to say to Micheal that he shouldn't pick Annelin or Monica?

>>30901139
yeah nah thats stupid, what >>30901184 said

>>30901184
Yep. Because he basically just said that he isn't interested in either of us but he's too afraid of hurting our feelings to say it outright.

>>30900947
"All the other girls also have to deal with not having you too. Don't push yourself into inaction, it's not good for those in command."

>>30900947
"I don't think you have the right to call anyone but children "young" just yet."

>>30901212
What.

I do seriously hope your being sarcastic and terrible at it.

>>30901212
Are you honestly this dumb?

>>30901238
>>30901257
I think he's hoping Mike won't be MC dumb. We're providing enough of that.

>>30901318
But what he's actually talking about is some awful "love at first sight perfect waifu" grade shit.

>>30901342
Eh, I guess we aren't reading it the same way, then.

>>30901342
Not love at first sight. I'm saying he'll find someone worth fighting for, come hell or high water, and (this is the important bit) I'm coaching it in terms consistent with our faith and including us in the pool of candidates. I thought the "you may even have already met her" bit went without saying, but I was clearly wrong.

>>30901409
>but I was clearly wrong.
That goes without saying, the whole thing reads like your trying to break up with Mike and want him to find someone else...

How about you stop trying to write fancy dialogue and just clearly convey your meaning and intent instead.

>>30901442
Fine fine, will do in the future.

>>30900947
"You're picking me. Joking, joking, lighten up and go the fuck to sleep."

You scratch your head.
"Micheal, it's much worse to string along people." you say. "Think clearly, act clearly. It's what my mother always told me."

He nods, humming as he looks to the sky.
"Right." He turns to face you. There's an intense look in his eyes.

Eh?

He grasps your shoulders. Wait. Wait, what? Your eye flickers as you check illusions. This isn't right... You...
Suddenly, with strength you don't recall him having before that training, he pulls you into a kiss, the full moon casting the room in pale blue as your eyes go wide, your hands at your sides rising in shock.

All sorts of wild things pop off in your head, all kinds of things you never thought of.

>>30901556
Slowly reach up and caress his cheek while gently stroking his chest with our other hand. Gently break the kiss and whisper "good choice" in his ear. Then go back to kissing him while slowly moving him back towards the bed. Throw him on the mattress then slide on top of him, continuing from where we were before. Slowly work him out of his clothes, reassuring him as necessary. Have fun and remember to say a prayer of contraception to Raev.

>>30901730

>>30901556
>This isn't right...
Fuck, it's another demon/illusion/whatever.
Check to see if Michael's left the room or not.

>>30901556
Kiss back

I am WAY too drunk on St. Patties to really vote.

That said use the eye. Fucking demon, being right in the end...

You let your eye glimmer, seeing no illusions. You hold him close as you kiss him back, smiling as he practically has to stand on his toes. You never noticed the height difference until now. Your heart is racing as you slowly pull apart, the both of you flushed.

"I...I actually, I'm not..." he fidgets. "I'm not sure where to go from here." he says. looking up at you with those wonderfully bright eyes.

No words, just smile knowingly and pull him gently back into a kiss. Guide him through everything, pausing when appropriate to make sure he's still comfortable with going forwards.

>car parts probably arent a great substitute for a leg
Says you

>>30902115
I'll also add, isn't he meant to pop his cherry after his party, the coming of age ceremony?

>>30902208
Not that I'm aware of? If that's true it's probably demon seal related and we should back the fuck off.

>>30902069
"Save it for after the party"

God dammit, I really don't feel comfortable doing this when Monica is still crippled. Seems liable to make her go Griffith.

>>30902245
it was mentioned by Karl IIRC 2 or 3 threads ago when they told us about the party, its when he comes of age and becomes a man, in many senses

if thats the case and I'm remembering properly and not deluding myself, we can still have our fun with Mike, just no popping his cherry, just lots of heavy petting and maybe finish with a bj and tell him to save the rest for after the party

>>30902069
>Save it for after the party.
Feels kind of skeevy doing it right now.

>>30902069
>save it for after the party

You smile. So small, he seems now, so comparatively innocent. Those big eyes... You kiss his cheek gently. Gently, you kiss him again, hands sliding down his back slowly, feeling the muscles under your fingers. Satisfaction rises in you as you know you helped make those, helped define them. His strength, his power...

It's all from you.

"A-annelin." he manages, as you kiss his neck. His voice sends little shivers down your spine, and you gently part his robe to kiss at his chest - surprisingly firm to the touch. Fingers dance over skin as you slide the robe off his arms, and it hangs at his waist as you touch his arms, his hands. Pushing him onto the bed, you seat yourself on his waist, looming over him somewhat.

The party is when he is supposed to pop his cherry, right? We may as well let his first time be...ceremonious.

nope, its climax is a shootout while falling from a plane, main plot is the homeless protag must protect a hookers babby from an evil corporation ceo

You lay against him, smiling as you kiss his neck.
"You picked well. But... I think you should wait." you say gently, kissing his neck, making him shiver. You pull the covers over the both of you, and he kisses back, warm softness on your neck. You snuggle against him, and he holds you close - and you both sleep soundly.

...

You blink awake, the prince sleeping soundly between your breasts. His chin has pushed down your dress enough to allow him to sleep there, curled against you and slumbering quietly.

Someone is knocking on the door.

>>30902577
smoking aces or shoot'em up

>>30902577
Isn't ringing any bells but sounds cool

>>30902577

>>30902582

set eye to doors. "Fuck off (person) were sleeping"

oh shit what if monica

>>30902582
Eye the door. Confirm with the guard we posted outside that this isn't yet another incursion.

Also the prince is late for training. Wake him and tell him to suit the fuck up!

>>30902655

>>30902582
use the eye to see who it is then answer the door

>>30902582
eye the door

>>30902582
Wake Michael and tell him to get ready for training. Get up, straighten our dress, eye the door, answer the knock and call a challenge to whomever's on the other side.

You rise, eyeing the door. Monica is waiting there, along with Sarl. You feel a little guilty, but... Well, it was his decision. Not yours. He's the one who gets to tell her.

You pull up your dress as you walk to the door and open it, smiling at Monica.

"Ah... Guarding him?" she asks, quietly.

Paranoia rising...

>>30902866
well it is a truth of some sort, we were guarding him...

>>30902866
Seconding this, Michael needs to tell her himself, and we shouldn't start politicking. It's between her and him, what we and he did is between him and us.

>>30902777
"I tried, but wound up falling.asleep. Also, that's a strong soul you have."

Nudge Michael awake emphatically.

>>30902906
Honestly it didn't occur to me that "Yes" on a yes-or-no question would be "this is unrelated but you should know about it too!". Plus Annelin need to learn some level of tact if she's going to marry into royalty. She might be the iron fist in the family, but she shouldn't go out of her way to pick fights anymore.

>>30902777
USE THE EYE, SH CAN TALK!!!!

>>30902777
Why the fuck didn't we wake Michael? He has training to do and we need to stop by our room and change into armor before he can hit the practice area.
