Walking at a pace that might as well be a sprint, Sir Gregory practically leaves the rest of you in the dust as he makes his way to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready. But even though he's in a rush, the rest of you are in so such hurry to be fed.

"I wonder what Luciana's gonna cook..." Elena wonders out loud as she walks with the rest of you.
"Spaghetti," you reply. "At least that's what she told me before she threw mew out of the kitchen."
"Yay!" she says, smiling cheerfully.
"...I didn't know you liked spaghetti THAT much," Emilio says, turning to his little sister.
"It's good when Luciana makes it!"
"I certainly hope so..."
"By the way," you say, turning to Emilio, "you seem to be in a better mood than usual."
"Hm?" Emilio raises an eyebrow. "Maybe, I guess?" he shrugs.
"He's happy 'cuz he missed ME!" Elena boasts as as she jumps on her big brother's back.
"Yeah, but you're making me wonder why I ever did," he grumbles.

"C'mon, quit being all grumpy!" Elena says, laughing as her brother struggles to balance her on his back.
"That would be easier if you'd get off of me," Emilio grumbles.
"No way!" she shakes her head. "You're never around so I gotta get my piggyback rides while I can."
"You have Uncle Gregory for that," he sighs.

Realizing that he's not going to be able to get the little Princess off his back without outside assistance, Emilio turns to you.

"Reinhold, you mind helping me out here?" Emilio asks.
"Sorry, staying out of it," you reply. "I'm not about to interfere with your sibling bonding."
"...but you're gonna end up becoming my sibling soon enough, so why not bond with me by getting Elena off of me?"
"Too bad for you, Reinhold's on -my- side!" Elena laughs.

"Figures that you'd be on the girls' side..." Emilio mumbles. "Karel, would you mind?" he says, turning to his bodyguard.
"I don't have the upper body strength for that," Karel replies. "If I try pulling her off, she'd just end up falling on me instead."
"Hey, I'm not heavy!" Elena says, puffing out her cheeks.
"Yes. You. Are."

Emilio's steps are starting to slow down, it looks like the added little girl weight is getting to him. You're starting to feel guilty as you watch him struggle with each step.

"Seriously, Elena..." Emilio growls. "Get. Off."
"Nopeydopey! Elena chirps.
"Don't worry, Emilio," Guillaume says, clearing his throat. "Reinhold's useless so I'll help you out."

>[2/3]

>>36319144
>Would Elmo make a good king?

No.
He'd make an awful king.

That's why Greg would have to live forever in order to make sure he doesn't get pushed around.

>>36319274
>He'd make an awful king.
B-but he's so sweet and polite :(

>>36319144
He might not be a bad ruler if he got some more confidence and experience. But he's got a fair number of older siblings who come before him so its not going to happen. He could probably make a good diplomat or something like that.


Niklaus is one of the smartest, though he's also a bit insane.

Luciana is probably the most intelligent one around Reinhold's age, and she's certainly the most calculating.

>>36319344
I'd put Arnaud and Gerhard up there too.

Once he finishes cracking his knuckles, Guillaume walks backwards for a few steps before breaking into a full sprint. Both you and Karel back away on instinct as the blonde-haired boy leaps into the air... and onto Elena's back.

"Aaaagh, what are you doing!?" Elena shouts as she struggles under her cousin's weight. You see her start to slide off of Emilio's back, but she nets her fingers together and does her best to hold on for dear life.
"Both of you," Emilio growls, "get off ofKHA-"

Elena's hands hit Emilio right in the throat, choking him.

And then his knees buckle underneath him, sending the two kids on his back crashing on top of him.

"Emilio!" Karel shouts as she rushes to his side.

Seeing as Melanie jumped Nico the moment she confessed, would a similar thing have happened to Reinhold?
And would that have caused a repeat of the dancing lesson?

"Oh crap..." you mutter under your breath as you run over to where Emilio's collapsed on the ground with Guillaume and Elena on top of him. "Emilio, are you alright?"
"...bih mah hung..." Emilio mumbles.
"Hold on, we'll help you back up," you say as you and Karel both take a hand and pull him out from under the others.
"hanks," he says, holding a hand to his mouth once he's regained his balance. "hiyaume, ahm honna kill yoo..."

With Emilio back to his feet, you turn to Elena, who's trying (and failing) to kick her cousin off of her.

"Why'd you have to do that, you stupid jerk!" she growls as she struggles to get herself out... and then you simply reach down and lift her into the air.
"C'mon, no fighting," you say as you place her back on the ground.
"...he's still a jerk."

The red-haired Princess shoots Guillaume an especially nasty glare before running off in the direction of the kitchen.

Just the three daughters he had with Lisette.
Celestino = heavenly

"Yeah don't worry about me I'm fine," Guillaume mumbles as he stands back up.
"You're the one who CAUSED this," Karel replies, glaring at him.
"I was only trying to-" he looks away. "Never mind."

Ignoring Guillaume, Karel turns back to Emilio.

"You bit your tongue?" she asks, sounding a lot more concerned than usual.
"Uh-huh," Emilio nods.
"Open your mouth so I can see how bad it is."

He does just that, and you're taken aback at how much blood there is.

"Aww man, and I'm the one who..." Guillaume mumbles.
"Don't worry about it," you say to him.

You ruffle Guillaume's hair, then walk over to Emilio.

Good thread everybody.

I really wanna know how this whole thing played out in Guillame's mind before he atempted whatever it was he was attempting.

I think we need to take this as a sign to learn when to put the foot down with Elena.

>>36320364
We never will.

>>36320364
No.

>>36320364
>>36320370
In fact, the kidnappers should act quickly because letting Elena around Reinhold damages her and her siblings.

>>36320364
It would have gone fine if Guillaume hadn't tried to suplex Elena off of him or whatever he was planning.

>>36320364
She's a little shenanigans engine. Put the foot down and you won't get anymore little shenanigans. Did you just want to pleasantly stroll back indoors without incident? What sort of moster are you?

>>36320242

So Reinhold will always be Metal element?

Neat. Not too Rare but not a Special Snowflake.

>>36320364
Guillaume's goof this time not Elena's

>>36320417
Plus it goes well with his "I'm so swordsman I shit blades".

>>36320436

was Rein cursed by an asshole witch?

>>36320436
That sounds horrible.

That's one way to call Spinelle and her special tricks, I suppose.

>>36320458
Well, we all know how
>my body is made of blades
turned out for Shirou at the end.

What if Spinelle was an Agent for Ancellotta who brainwashed Reinhold as a child in order to turn him into a sleeper agent.

The memories of his rape are his subconscious filling in the missing memories from his brainwashing.

>>36320513

Depends on the Route and Ending.

"You know any healing magic, Karel?" you ask.
"No," she shakes her head.
"I guess it's up to me then..." you shrug.

Though you haven't had reason to cast it in quite a while, the incantation of Healing Grace is as fresh in your mind as it ever was. You cast it without much effort, and Emilio's injury is healed in a flash!

A literal flash of light, that is. Right in his face. You'd forgotten about that part.

"Thanks, man," Emilio says to you as he rubs his eyes.
"No problem," you reply.

And now that Emilio's injury is taken care of, it's time to move on to the one who caused it.

"Guillaume," you say, turning to the miserable-looking boy.
"Yeah, I know I messed up," he mumbles. "I was stupid and Emilio got hurt for it."
"You really need to think things through, you know?" you say. "That could've went a lot worse than it did, he could've ended up breaking something instead of just biting his tongue."
"Yeah, I'm sorry..." he says, kicking the floor.
"I'm not the one you should be saying that to."

Reluctantly, Guillaume walks over to his cousin.

"Sorry for knocking you over and making you bite your tongue," Guillaume says.
"It's fine," Emilio sighs, "just don't do it again."

Karel seems angrier at Guillaume than Emilio does, and he's the one who actually got hurt.

"Umm..." Melanie looks in the direction of the kitchen. "It doesn't feel right for me to just wait here so I think I'll go help with the preparations."
"You don't have to do that," Sir Gregory replies. "When you're here at least, you don't have to think of yourself as a maid."
"Yeah," Nicolette says, patting her on the shoulder.
"I know, but well..." she smiles weakly, "I -want- to help."

And with that, Melanie rises from her seat and makes for the kitchen. Nicolette tries to follow after her, but Sir Gregory grabs her hand before she can get very far.

"YOU can sit down," Sir Gregory says asw he holds his daughter in place. "We don't need a repeat of the last time you tried to 'help.'"
"C'mon, I was like ten when that happened!" Nicolette groans.
"Yeah, and it's been a pleasant six years since then," he replies. "Let's try and keep the record going."

With a gloomy look on her face, Nicolette returns to her seat next to you.

"Yeah, well I was already kicked out of there once tonight so I'm not trying to push my luck any further."
"Yeah, I'd hate for you two to get into another fight, especially considering how the last one ended."

Sir Gregory's interest seems to be piqued by that little statement.

"What happened the last time they fought?" he asks.
"Ahahahaha it was nothing interesting," you say, speaking up before Nicolette can inform her father about last month's forcefeeding incident.
"Uh, okay," he shrugs.

I doubt Greg would class that tiff as a proper fight anyway. He did not come from a ahappy home.

"And, uh... Nicolette?" you turn to her.
"What, you have more bad jokes?" Nicolette rolls her eyes.
"No, I was wondering if I could maybe ask you about something after dinner."
"Sure?" she shrugs. "Is it something important?"
"Nah, I was just looking to get some advice."
"Okay, just get to me before you guys leave for the night."

Before you're able to get into specifics, Ariane emerges from the kitchen with a beaming smile on her face.

"As per the conditions of our dear Reinhold's request, tonight's dinner has been prepared by Princess Luciana Violetta di Marconetti, all by herself! Neither I nor Guillaume helped her cook this meal in ANY way!"
"I hope it's good," Emilio says with a smirk.

Just you wait, Elmo, you cheeky little shit. You'll be begging for seconds and then you'll get all mopey and depressed because you can't cook that well.

"It's better than anything that YOU could ever cook," Luciana replies as she and Melanie come out of the kitchen carrying several plates. "I look forward to seeing you eat your words in a few minutes."
"No fighting at the table, you two," Ariane says as she walks over to her nephew and bops him on the head with a wooden spoon.

That one got a laugh out of both Elena and Karel.

Once everyone's settled down, Guillaume, Luciana and Melanie go about serving everyone their food- massive plates of delicious-smelling spaghetti. You want SO badly to devour it the second that Luciana places it in front of you, but those pesky manners that were beaten into you as a child keep you from doing just yet since not everyone has been served yet.

And after all TWELVE people at the table have been served, Luciana finally takes her seat next to you.

Your mouth waters at the thought of eating your lovely girlfriend's home cooking... but first things first.

"Thanks for cooking for us tonight," you say, turning to Luciana and giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
"And thank -you- for appreciating that I did so," Luciana replies, smiling at you... and then glaring at her little brother.
"Yeah, yeah..." Emilio says, rolling his eyes as he twirls his fork in the pasta and raises a forkful to his mouth.
"Holy crap, Luciana!" Karel shouts. "This is freaking GREAT!"

Pretty much everyone at the table is taken aback by Karel's sudden exclamation, with the exception of Ariane.

>[1/?]

So it's spaghetti what?
Because I don't care how good a cook you are, just spaghetti on its own won't taste incredible.

>>36322517
dat sauce tho

You don't each much spaghetti do you?

>>36322517
With tomato sauce, I'm guessing. That's the default method of cooking it, though I do love me some vodka sauce.

>>36322536

Bitch unless that spaghetti is literally made of angel hair then it's just gonna be bland.

>>36322539
Karel's trying to behave herself.
I was going to have her be her true foulmouthed self right here and Gregory would have applauded it, but she wouldn't do that around him.

not yet, anyways

>>36322536
Not on it's own I don't, no.

"Ehehe, thanks!" Luciana says, smiling warmly. "And Emilio?"

Her little brother mumbles under his breath as he lifts the fork and finally brings its contents into his mouth.

And then he chews.

"........." Emlio looks at his plate.
"Well?" Luciana stares at him.
"...............it's good," he sighs. "Really good. Like restaurant good."
"I know, right!" Karel says, nudging his arm.
"Ah, sweet victory," Luciana says with a contented sigh as she leans back in her seat. "I'll have to write mother about this."
"C'mon, then I'll never hear the end of it," Emilio groans."
"Too bad!"

Luciana's dinner is a success, with everyone at the table enjoying their food and even getting seconds (or thirds, in the case of Nicolette and Sir Gregory.) Though Melanie tries to take care of the dishes once everyone's done, Ariane manages to convince her that she can take care of that herself.

Once everyone's finished eating, everyone disperses to wherever it is that they like to hang out after dinner... with the exception of you and the other guests.

"I guess we ought to get going," Emilio says. "I want to be fully rested for that lake trip tomorrow."
"Yeah," Karel nods. Are you gonna ride with us, Melanie?"
"Yes," Melanie replies. "I have my own preparations for tomorrow, and I'd like to check on the Princess as well."

Then she turns to you.

"You wanted to talk to Nicolette before we left, right?" Melanie asks.
"Uh, yeah," you nod. "Go on ahead to the carriage, I'll meet you guys there."
"Okay," she nods.

As the others make their way outside, you head to the living room where Nicolette's sprawled on the couch. It looks like she's trying to get some of that massive amount of food she ate digested before she gets back up.


>[3/?]

>>36322685

>>36322685
You're a glutton Nico. What is it with Arch and gluttony.

>>36322710
I think we're planning on talking about Marianne.

Partially about how we want to be a better friend to her and not annoy her quite as much, and also about how she reacted when said she was a good friend.

>>36322710
Wel that would be a horribly assholish move seeing as we've both just enjoyed a meal prepared by Luci and that she's probably in the next room and thinks we were discussing the possibility of marriage with her and that Nico's happy with her relationship with Melanie.
So yes, that would be the in character time for Rein to play that card.

"Hey," Nicolette says, waving to you from her lounging position. "What's this thing you wanted to talk to me about? Is it, uh..." she starts blushing, "...proposal stuff?"
"N- no!" you stammer. "I'm not even thinking abut-" you sigh. "It's about Marianne."
"Oh," she says, a disappointed from on her face. "So what happened, did you do something to piss her off again?"
"No," you shake you head. "But she told me that my usual gifts of cakes aren't going to work in every situation, so uh..."
"You want to know what else you can do?" she asks.
"Pretty much," you nod.

With a loud grunt of exertion, Nicolette forces herself upright in the couch.

"She is right, though..." Nicolette says, sighing. "That -is- kind of your go-to for whenever you fuck up."
"Yeah, "I've noticed that," you reply.
"So maybe you could quit doing so much stupid shit?" she says, shrugging. "Because seriously, it's like you don't have any common sense at all sometimes. And if you're not pissing people off then there won't be any reason for you to have to apologize, you know?"

"Yeah, I guess," you say, shrugging.
"I would say to buy her stuff that has to do with her hobbies, but that's the same basic problem as you buying cakes all the time," Nicolette says. "You just throw money at the problem until it's fixed, and that means a lot less when you're dealing with a Princess."

She does have a point there.

"So, uh..." she scratches her head, "maybe try and fix whatever problem that you caused in the first place? You know, try to make up for the exact thing that you fucked up. It means more when you put the extra effort in, you know?"
"I guess," you nod.
"Or maybe draw her a cute picture. Marianne likes that kind of stuff WAY more than she lets on."
"I'll keep that in mind, thanks," you nod.
"So I think that's about it," she sighs. "and that advice goes for EVERYONE, not just Marianne."

Having gotten the advice that you asked for, you bid Nicolette farewell and hurry to the carriage. Though your delay was for a pretty good cause (in your opinion , anyways), you do feel kind of bad about making the others wait like this.

And of course they're already inside the carriage when you get there. Since Karel and Emilio are on one side, you take a seat next to Melanie.

>>36322995
Then we buy her cakes.

"Luciana's a pretty good cook, huh," you say with a satisfied grin on your face.
"Really," Karel nods. "Can she make stuff other than spaghetti?"
"Oh yes," Melanie says, smiling. "She's taken to assisting Nicolette's mother in cooking dinner most nights, and she's really grown an interest in cooking."
"I never took Luciana for the 'housewife' type," Emilio says. "It's kind of weird to think of her in an apron, chopping up vegetables and baking cakes and all that..."

No, it's actually kind of nice to think of her in an apron.

Fully clothed.

Yes.

"What's up with you?" Emilio asks, turning to you. "Smiling like that and all."
"Just thinking to myself about how lucky I am to have her for a girlfriend, is all," you reply.
"Yeah, sure," he sighs. "I'm just glad that you're the one who's going to marry her..."

Again with the marriage thing, why is that always the first thing that everyone thinks about when it comes to the two of you?

For the rest of the ride back to the castle, you find yourself kind of on edge... you're half-expecting Sir Gregory to go flying past you at any second, but that doesn't happen and you make it there without incident.

Just a lot of embarrassment.

Upon arriving at the castle gate, you leave the carriage first and help Melanie down... or so you thought, but she jumps out of it just like she did when you got to Sir Gregory's mansion. Once the two of you are out of there, Emilio and Karel follow close behind.

"Well," Melanie smiles, "it was nice to get to spend some time with you all."
"Yeah," Emilio nods. "Nicolette seems to have pretty good taste in girls..." he says, laughing nervously. Melanie seems just as nervous to hear that compliment.
"God night," she says. "I'll be seeing the three of you tomorrow!"
"See you later," you say, weaving goodbye to her.

This kills the turtle.

"I ate so much," Emilio yawns. "Getting kind of sleepy."
"Let's go, then," Karel replies.

And so, the two of them head for the nearest stairwell...

"Hm?" Emilio looks back and spots you keeping up pace with them. "Reinhold?"
"Your rooms are like directly above mine so I figured that we might as well walk together," you say.
"Oh," he nods. "Well come on then..."

As you walk, Emilio goes on about how he heard that it;s really cold out by large bodies of water this year so he'll be dressing warm during tomorrow's trip. Karel, on the other hand, only replies with grunts and "mmmhmm"s. This continues all the way upstairs.

"Uh, Karel?" Emilio say,s turning to his bodyguard as they approach the door to his room. "you seem kind of down, are you going to be alright?"
"yeah, I'm fine," she nods.

Looks like she's back to being mopey again.

>[1/?]

>>36322934
I was expecting Greg to burst out laughing about Karel being a reverse trap before Ariance got to the more detailed explanation and that we'd just hear his scratching cackle across the castle all night.

"NO," Karel groans. "It has nothing to do with her!"
"Okay, I was just wondering..." he mumbles as he opens his door. "I hope you're feeling better tomorrow, man. See you later."
"Yeah, see you later," she mumbles.

You wave goodbye to Emilio, ten follow KArel to her room. Surprisingly enough, she doesn't say anything to you and simply lets you inside.

"...she's telling him right now, you know?" Karel says, turning to you. She looks absolutely miserable. "Right now, she's telling him aaaaaall about me and tomorrow morning I'm fucking dead."

Before she has a chance to get away, you reach over to Karel and pull her into a tight hug. She instinctively tries to break free a first, but then she just kind of relaxes in your embrace.

"It'll be fine, don't worry," you say.
"You just say that 'cuz you're already friends with everyone," she mumbles.
"I mean it," you reply. "Sir Gregory isn't anywhere as bad as you're thinking, the worst he'll do tomorrow is tease you about being a girl. Or show up at your door with Adrien all tied up."
"Yeah right..."

After Karel's finally calmed down some, you let go of her and head for the door.

"Really, it'll be fine," you say.
"I hope so," she mumbles. "I'll fucking kill you if everything goes to shit, you know that right?"
"It won't be an issue," you say as you walk out the door. "See you tomorrow!"

After leaning Karel's room, you make a beeline for your own. Extremely tired from the day's events, you take off your jacket and walk over to your desk to hand it on its usual spot... where you find an envelope on your desk.

"Huh," you say as you pick it up, "I didn't send..."

And then you open it. Inside the envelope is a short message.

"Citrine Lanzmann has confirmed that she will be attending tomorrow's trip to Lake Vincent."

And on that high note, you quickly finish up putting away your clothes and hop in the bed. Tomorrow's already looking up!

Thanks for the thread Arch. I love when I'm actually hear for the entire duration.

Has anything of note occurred in Dragonistan with Lisette and Chiara, and does Lisette make anything of the similarities between Rein and her brother? Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

>>36323497

Hey Arch, would naming conventions among commoners be "Blank, son of Blank" and "Blankette, daughter of Blankette"? With Last names going to people in the Middle Classes.

If so, would Reinhold's name have been "Reinhold, Son of None."

>>36323531
If they don't know who his parents are and no one adopts him he should just be "Reinhold", anything else is simply silly.

>>36323497
Cheers.

If you had to sacrifice one of the three additional routes (Karel, Melon, Rana), which one would it be?

>>36323515
>Has anything of note occurred in Dragonistan with Lisette and Chiara,
They've had some minor adventures, but nothing that I really have the time to show in-quest. Sorry.

>and does Lisette make anything of the similarities between Rein and her brother? >
She doesn't know Reinhold well enough to notice anyrhing along those lines.

>Would that be a good thing or a bad thing?
She'd immediately give Luciana advice about how to manipulate him into doing what she wants.

>>36323531
>Hey Arch, would naming conventions among commoners be "Blank, son of Blank" and "Blankette, daughter of Blankette"? With Last names going to people in the Middle Classes.
>If so, would Reinhold's name have been "Reinhold, Son of None."
Nope, peasant-types in this area lack last names entirely. Some of them even go so far as to make up a last name to give themselves, but Reinhold's not one to do that.

>>36323562
>If you had to sacrifice one of the three additional routes (Karel, Melon, Rana), which one would it be?
Rana.

Luciana would have gone through with it just to please her poppy and Celestino would have been none the wiser.
