>"Hey, you guys alright over there!" a man calls out. "I just took care of the ones back there so all that should be left is the pier..."
>"Yeah," you reply, waving back.

>And then you freeze when you see who it is that you were just talking to.

>"ADRIEN!?"


What!?

Along the way here, you'd mentally prepared yourself just in case you were to run into any number of people from your past, but to actually see Adrien here...

"You mean you didn't come here with him?" Emeraude says as she points to the blonde-haired swordsman. "I mean, he was killing those monsters and -you- were killing those monsters so I just assumed that you were working together."
"N... no," you shake your head. "I had no idea that he was even..."

<happy?>

"Wow, you actually took care of this thing on your own?" Adrien asks, kicking the corpse of the Leviathan a few times before he walks over to where the two of you are standing.
"He sure did!" Emeraude chirps. "You shoulda been there, Adrien!"
"Doesn't look like I needed to be..." he trails off while looking at her face. "...you're one of the girls from the Boss's place, right?"
"Yup, I'm Emeraude!" she says, smiling at him. "And this guy here," she points to you, "is the one who saved my life! I bet you're as surprised to see him here as I was!"
"Er, maybe?" he shrugs. "Is this guy someone that I should know?"

It's been nearly a decade since you last saw each other, it's no surprise that he wouldn't recognize you.


>introduce yourself
>let emeraude do it

>>36692985

Also we need to have a long talk once this is done Adrien.

Introduce yourself.

Boy Adrien, you're sure good at forgetting important things aren't ya?

>>36693065
No outright slug him

fuck I wish I had saved the webm of the two characters from some anime who act excited to see each other run towards each other then start beating the shit out of each other.

>>36693065
Reinhold is not a girl.

We're gonna sock him in the face. Like a responsible man.

>>36692985
>introduce yourself

Maybe we shouldn't mention Karel. Just something like, "Oh hey man. Gregory wants to talk."

>>36692985
Ask him if he forgot Volker's sword.

>>36693103
>>36693104
This, but with Tailwind.

>>36692985

voting for this specifically
>>36693065

>>36693065
Sure, but at least soft punch him.

Adrien needs to be told that Agnes is cross with him for not bringing Rein and Citrine to her.

Also he's a father.

>>36693065
this but sock him

... maybe punching people right off the bat is a bad idea? we need to at least introduce ourselves first.

>>36693158
no he deserves a good hard slug, maybe the gut if not the face.

>dissappears from karel's life as her FATHER
>dissappears from reinhold & citrine's life after giving them hope of getting out of the shithole town.

>>36693206
true. Introduce adrien, clasp him around the shoulder like he's a bro, THEN CLOCK HIM RIGHT IN THE JAW!

We should probably tell Emeraude to scurry off to safety. She has no place in this.

>>36693206
Yes. I agree.
First we introduce ourselves, then we punch him.

>>36693206
Well, its basically either
>*POW* "It's me Reinhold. REMEMBER?"
or
>"It's me Reinhold."*POW* "REMEMBER?"

>>36692985
>Introduce self. Let's keep it friendly - unless he tries to flee.

>>36693227
To be fair, he's not the one who gave Reinhold and Citrine any hope.
He's still an ass.

>alarm clock failed

yeees

>>36692985

No physical violence yet.

>>36693236
This.

>>36693180
Guys, right now we still have dragons to fight and he has a chance to run away in the confusion when it's all over. Wait for our moment.

>>36693206

>>36693273

>the Wyvern will now have to transport four people, including a huge guy

Poor thing.

>>36693312
You forget Arnaud can move faster than it can.
Adrien should be able to fly a wyvern back to the castle.

>>36692985
>>introduce yourself
Maybe we could pull out our sword and ask him if he remembers what it is and why we have it?
We're still gonna slug him regardless though.

>>36693284
I agree with this, but don't specify Karel's gender.

>>36693312
That just means that we catch up with everyone while the others go on ahead. Half hour round trip, just enough time for coffee and >muh trauma

>>36693350
Think we'd be concentrating on Karel's trauma instead.

>>36692985
"What don't you Recognize your best friend's sword?"

>>36692985
>introduce yourself
"I am Prince-Consort Reinhold Eschenwald di Marconetti of Granache's Royal Guard.

You probably remember me as Reinhold."

>>36693391
No.

>>36693391
We'd have to be married before we're half of those things.

>>36693391
We're not a Prince yet.

He is though.

>>36693391
Not yet dude, gotta get hitched first for that to be in effect.

>>36693391
not married yet

>>36693391
>Prince-Consort
>Eschenwald
>di Marconetti
Being a bit presumptious there. We are none of those yet

>>36693391
That is not our accurate series of titles.

>>36693391
Hold that off until marriage. That is if there's a marriage.

>>36693430
It's more impressive than "Reinhold, that dense bodyguard"

>>36693456
Why do you feel the need to impress?

>>36693456
>"Also, I'm dating a princess!"
>"Why are you telling me that?"
>"Bro, I tell EVERYBODY"

>>36693456
Well that's an accurate title, no need to go around trying to impress everyone

>Adrien:
>so you're that kid Volker was... nevermind
>and you're the BODYGUARD to Marianne?
>and you came back just today to this place
>wow, that's a lot of coincidences, don't you think?

>Reinhold:
>...

>>36693485
>pfff, you can boast once you score a waitress, kid

>>36693391
More Accurately "Reinhold, Royal Bodyguard to her highness Marianne Thieri of Granache. But you probably remember me as Reinhold, that kid Volker was going to adopt"

>>36693518
Whatever easily leads to a punch to the face.

Come back with me to the capital. Citrine is there, married and pregnant. Agnes is visiting and would love to ch(ew)at you up(out). Also, you can meet your Bastard. They grew up ten kinds of awesome.

This is great.

How about no.

>>36693608
You got it backwards dude.
Why do you think everyone is running to Boss' place?

He's having a picnic and didn't invite us.

>>36693647
Nah man, the Boss is a cool dude, I'm sure he would invite us to his picnic.

Good joke.

>>36693718
The Boss is holding a Pimp Hand Contest in the brothel, winner gets to take over the brothel.

>>36693799
Is this when we finally face the last bodyguard in a climactic battle?

>>36693540
I think this is some of the best art you've gotten done for the quest so far Arch. It makes me glad I picked Luciana from the beginning.

"Yeah," you nod. "I'm Reinhold."
"...Reinhold?" Adrien stares at you.
"Yeah," you say as you unfasten your scabbard from your belt and hold it up for him to see. "Remember this?"

Adrien covers his hand over his mouth, it seems like the realization's hitting him pretty hard.

"Oh God..." he takes a deep breath. "I can't believe it's actually YOU, man!" he says, slapping his hands over your shoulders. "Just look at you, you're almost as tall as I am now!"

All you can manage is a nod.

"Just..." As he wipes his eyes with his sleeves, you can't help but notice that the arm underneath is scarred. "...I'm so-"

POW

Your arm moves on its own.

>>36693861

>>36693861
If we bring up Karel, make sure to address her as a he. The last thing we need is him somehow fucking up her position by letting her gender to slip to the wrong people.

>>36693908
I still think the best appoach is saying nothing beyond the fact that he has a kid. If he wanna know more, he's gonna have to come home with us,

>>36693938
>Bringing adrien home to Gregory. And Ariane. And Karel. and his brother aquaman.
It's like you want him to join volker as a bloodstain on the ground.

>>36693861
We can't forget to invite him to the picnic

>>36693988
well yea we are inviting him to a picnic, also dinner with grand ma

>>36693861

Reeling from your shoulder punch, Adrien staggers back a few steps.

"Y- yeah," he laughs, "I guess I deserved that one."
"What the HELL!?" you shout. "Where have you been all this time, I was half-convinced that you were dead!"
"Well, uh..." he sighs, "it took me a few years to find those assholes who killed Volker and then even more time to find the guy who hired them, and then I nearly died fighting each one."

Dragons and the holder of a Sealed King, if you're remembering it right...

"I actually did all that a few years back and then came right here to see if I could get you and Citrine out of this shithole, but the Boss said that Citrine went and found a husband like a month prior and that you ran off to join the army or something?"

>[2/?]

>>36694012
>[3/3]

"...yeah," you reply, "pretty much."
"But that uniform you're wearing isn't from the Army," Adrien says, looking you over. "Looks more like a Royal Bodyguard's uniform, if I'm remembering it right..."


>that's because I'm princess marianne's bodyguard
>yeah, that's right

"And I didn't steal it off anyone."

>>36694012
I thought the dragon mercenaries hired to kill them were killed by volkner before he died as well.

>>36694066
>yeah, that's right

>>36694066

Also you're daughter's doing well brah.

>>36694066

>>36694066

>>36694066
Of course he recognizes the uniform.

>>36694066
>>that's because I'm princess marianne's bodyguard

>>36694100

All the ones traveling with them, probably not the only ones hired by the Grand Douche.

We are people so intent on handing out our story and Karel's gender to Emeraude?

Can you people not see how both are bad?

>>36694066
>that's because I'm princess marianne's bodyguard

>>36694066
>>yeah, that's right
So how many people are gonna be in line to punch Adrien when we get back?

>>36694066

>yeah, that's right same kind of job as your kid too

lets not give sex of the kid

>>36694066
>That's because I'm your niece's bodyguard.

>>36694066
>yeah, that's right

>>36694066
>>that's because I'm princess marianne's bodyguard
And don't spill Karel's secret for god's sake

>>36694066
>that's because I'm princess marianne's bodyguard

I wonder how long it'll take for him to realize that WE KNOW and start sweating bullets?

>>36694066
>yeah, that's right
Then just walk away. Go help Arnard with the other Leviathans.

>>36694066

Why not give him the cold shoulder and go kill some more Leviathans?

There are more out there and ignoring someone is the greatest insult.

>writing

>>36694264

because we care, you ass

and we need to bring him home

>>36694264
Because after all that's said and done, we don't hate him. We think he's an selfish jerk and an idiot who can't keep it in his pants, but he is one of the three people in our entire childhood we actually cared about and admired.

>>36694264
Because we still need to drag him home with us.

>>36694066
>that's because I'm princess marianne's bodyguard

>>36694316

Doesn't mean we can't kick him in the balls after landing back at the picnic so the first memory Karel has of her dad is that he got kicked in the balls for being an asshole.

>>36694342
If karel wants to kick him in the balls, we can do so. We already punched him for what he did to us, further physical retribution is not our place.

>>36694342
There's plenty of people who'll probably want to hit Adrien, Karel being one of them. So might aswell let her do it

>>36694264
Making a point of trying to snub him is only going to make trying to get him to do the right thing by Karel a nightmare.

We're already pretty sure it's going to be like herding particularly thick-headed, promiscuous cats, so I'd much rather we not make it any harder than it's going to be.

That, and we still mostly like the guy, even if he's prone to acting like he was a protagonist being played by a precursor alternate-universe version of /tg/.

"Yeah, that's right," you nod.
"Huh," Adrien says, whistling. "You really have come up a long way."
"Whoa, seriously!?" Emeraude gasps. "You're, like... working in the CASTLE and shit!?"
"That's right," you reply. "I'm living a hell of a lot better than I used to be when I was stuck here."

You're trying not to act too bitter, but you're finding it a lot more difficult than you thought.

"I guess they sent you back here to help take care of these snakes, huh," Adrien says.
"I actually volunteered for that, but why the hell are YOU here?" you ask.

Did he hear about the Leviathan attack from wherever the hell he's been all this time and decided to come back to help?

If nothing else, Reinhold can be rightfully pissed at Adrien for leaving Citrine in Cateno before going on his revenge crusade.

"I heard that the royal family here got attacked while up in Marconetti for one of the Princes up there's birthday," Adrien says.
"Yeah, I was there for that," you say, gritting your teeth as you remember just how close everyone who you love and care for was from being killed.
"Shit, I'm sorry to hear that," he replies. "But none of them got hurt, right?"
"Nothing permanent, anyways."

You refrain from mentioning the various maimings that your friends suffered from, as well as the one Knight who was killed.

"Great," Adrien says, breathing a sigh of relief. "But yeah, I heard about that and rushed back here as fast as I could. I figured that I'd lend a hand until everything settled down, you know? Even a flake like me should do that much..."
"So you're going to come back to the capitol?" you ask.
"Yup!" he says, giving you a thumbs-up.

>[2/?]

And he's less McLargeHuge than I expected from Aquaman's brother.

>>36694388
>You're trying not to act too bitter, but you're finding it a lot more difficult than you thought.
Even if we can kind of get over him leaving us here, the fact he left citrine here is kind of sticking point.

>>36694388
Ha, ha, ha, foolish Reinhold, I am commanding them! Did you think the royalty of Granache gained the title of aquaman for nothing?

>>36694532

Good.

Now. HUG.

>>36693509
>pfff, you can boast once you score a waitress, kid

That'd be such a good scene for Rein and Adrien to share if Adrien was actually decent enough to bother catching up with.

"That's awesome! You should be aware that both ariane and gregory will probably beat that crap out of you when you arrive. Not to mention the fact your kid is there. Citrine is also there, but she's a much better person then me, so it's 50/50 on whether or not she slaps you."

Personally I don't want Karel to see him unwarned and lose spaghetti in front of everyone. It'd be the mother of all pastas.

>>36694575
I look forward to introducing him so much. "Hey guys, I killed the leviathans and while I was there I invited an orphan from a cardboard box and Adrien to our picnic! ... Adrien is the one on the left."

>>36694540
He is plenty huge, it's a matter of that character generator being relatively underequipped to represent people who aren't lanky and girlish.

That's one less thing to worry about, you guess...

"But before I can do that, we ought to take care of the rest of these Leviathans," Adrien says. "I think the last of them should be out by the pier, so what say we finish those off now?"

And then he glances at Emeraude.

"...and you really should get to where it's safe," Adrien says. "I'm sure you don't want a building falling on you or anything like that."
"N- no," Emeraude laughs nervously. "My life's been put in danger more than enough for one day."

Arnaud, we are going to be staring so, so intently at your sneaky face when you lay eyes on Adrien after he shows up unannounced, you don't even know. We're gonna get a hint out of you if it kills us.

And if there is one, well hopefully she can get inside the Sanctuary bubble before she gets nommed.

No, it's just a stuffed bunny.

Emeraude carefully circles around the Leviathan's corpse as if it might come back to life any second before finally turning around a corner and running off to the brothel.

"It really is great to see you again, kid," Adrien says, slapping you on the shoulder. "We're really gonna have to catch up once all of this is done with."
"Yeah, really," you laugh nervously. "But you should probably go to see Ariane and Sir Gregory first, they've been talking a lot a lately."
"Eh?" he stares at you. "You're buddies with Gregory and his wife?"
"Yeah, I have dinner over there a lot," you reply.
"You really are full of surprises!" he laughs. "Next thing I know, you'll tell me that you and Marianne are engaged!"

Right idea, wrong Princess.

is it wrong of me to imagine a world where Reinhold and Luci get married, she dies from a disease or something months/years later, Reinhold hangs around Marconetti in depression while her family tries there best to console him. Then one day Queen Marrianne arrives with a proposal for Celestio, he gets the marriage he always wanted to bind the royal families together if she gets to marry Reinhold. Secretly she loved him all these years but never did anything because Lucinia was her BFF, but after seeing how he fell apart without her she decides to do what is necessary for the only boy she ever loved and because she promised Luci before she died that she'd look out for him when after she was gone.

"Hmm..." Adrien peers down the road. "Reinhold, you wouldn't happen to know Tailwind, would you?"
"It's actually how I did that," you say, pointing to the gaping hole in the Leviathan corpse that's lying off to the side.
"Well shit!" he laughs. "That just makes it easier then!"
"What, you wanted to use it to run to the pier?"
"Exactly," he nods.

And with that, you both begin chanting the incantation as you do just that.

Yep.

>>36695589
>>36695589
Probably helped that the fucking kid will have decided to add magic into the mix rather than deliberately job and nerf themselves.

Taking care to avoid the various (large) pieces of wreckage and the occasional Leviathan corpse as you go, the two of you make it to the pier in record time. The startling crash of thunder that occurs just as you make it there is more of a hazard than anything else, to be honest.

"...damn," Adrien says as he looks out towards the river where a bolt of lighting hits a Leviathan even larger than the one that you just fought head-on. "The old man's still got it, huh."

Given that he knows Sir Gregory, it's not much of a surprise that he'd be familiar with Arnaud as well.


>[1/?]

>>36695641
"He's kicks my ass in his spare time."

>>36695641

>[2/2]

As the massive beast falls into the water, a bolt of lightning races back towards the land... and stops not too far away from you, revealing a rather tired-looking Arnaud.

"Honestly, I wasn't expecting so many to be out here," Arnaud sighs, closing his eyes as he adjusts his collar. "Though I'm sorry to say that I wasn't able to spot any Leviathans with one eye, Reinhold..." he sighs.
"Don't worry, I was able to find it just fine," you reply, unable to hide your satisfied grin.
"Oh?" he opens his eyes. "Did you take care of it yourself, or did you get help from this gentleman..."

Arnaud glances from you to Adrien... and then does a double take as his jaw drops.

"P- Prince Raoul!?" the old butler gasps.

They've both got issues out the wazoo. Let's hope their child is actually somewhat capable and doesn't fuck everything up.

>>36695908
I think she said she'd go if Luci was going and Luci wants to go when she is able.

Anyone else think Karel might actually be a bit upset finding out she's a princess?

>>36695951
It'd definitely take some adjustment.

>>36695951
Why? Clearly being royalty didn't stop her dad from being a no-good deadbeat.

>>36695915
Maybe they'll cancel each other out and give way to an obnoxiously overconfident, bisexually liberated kid who willfully crossdresses to confuse the nature of their gender instead.

>>36695951
Probably easier than when she found out she was a girl.
