You are awoken by someone kicking you in the shins.

“Get up you ass” Marcy says.
You groan and lift your torso, sitting up in the same position that you collapsed from earlier.

“Good morning Marcy” You say.
“Good morning” She says in a mock cheerful tone, before switching into serious mode. “Go tell your sister that we are not sharing a room”
“You don’t want to share a room with Melissa?”
“Remember what happened last time I shared a room with someone?” She asks.
“These doors have locks you know” You say.
“I don’t care” Marcy says. “You’re the one who pissed her off, and I’m not going to risk getting outed again because you don’t know how to damn well knock!”

“But you find such interesting things when you barge in on people” You say.

Marcy squeezes her eyes shut and pinches the bridge of her nose. “Please go, or I swear on my Name I will stab you” She says.

“Fine, I’ll talk to her” You say, standing up and stretching. “Anything else?”
“Yes. They actually sent me down here because the King wanted to talk to you.” She says. “I just figured I’d get that out of the way first”

“Your little grievances about rooming place higher than a request from the King?” You ask. “Someone sure thinks highly of themselves”
“What was that? It sounded kind of like ‘Please stab me Marcellus’ to me” She says.
You laugh. “That’s crazy. I’d never call you Marcellus” You say.

So waifu material then?

“So. Anything important happen while I was napping?” You ask.
“Nothing I can think of… Unless you count ‘more of the usual’ interesting. This whole gathering is one big war council, no matter how they try to sugar coat it” She says.

“So interesting things are bound to be happening. Good way to put it. I’ll be sure to keep my eyes and ears open.” You say.
“No eavesdropping.” Marcy says.
“I’d say it’s more… gathering information” You say.
“By eavesdropping” She says.
“Look, I’m up to my knees in this shit right now. The more I know about what’s going on, the better. If you were smart, you’d be doing the same” You say.

“If I wasn’t mistaken, I’d say you were nervous” She says.
“I’d be a damn fool to be perfectly calm right now” You reply. “So what does the king want?”
“Dunno. He’s been talking to everyone that was a direct part of what happened in the Palace, so he’ll probably just want to ask you some things about that” She says.

You cringe. These will not be easy questions, especially if they know about your phony connection to Gillette…

>[1/2]

>>39534228
I'm actually a fan of melissa so no. Also I have strong doubts that a woman who is able to pass as a man for years is actually attractive at all

>>39534320
She's fairly androgynous, and the fact remains that she's, like 18 (I think).

“You alright?” Marcy asks.
“Yes. Yes I’m fine.” You say. “Where can I find the King?”
“Up the first staircase on the right, then it’s the third room on the left” She says.

You breathe deeply, and then put a hand on Marcy’s shoulder. “If I don’t make it back, tell Selene she’s the coolest” You say, walking out the door and leaving Marcy looking very confused.

You knew where the King’s office was already, you just didn’t know that the King would be using it for this.

Outside the door, you stop and calm your nerves.

Keep it together Giles. Let your record speak for itself and deflect anything to do with your reason for being at the palace.

You open the door and enter. The king is busying himself with a letter of some sort, but he looks up as you come in.

“Ah, Giles. Please, enter, have a seat. I was just finishing a letter to an old friend of mine.” He says.

You walk in, sit down, and wait patiently for the King to finish his letter. Best not to do anything to annoy him right now…

Once he’s done, he looks back up again. “So, I’ve heard from Dalen, Eleanor and Marcellus. Now I’d like to hear your account of the night the King and Queen were murdered.” He says.

Alright, now to decide just how much you are willing to tell him…

You tell him your side of the story, including the things you saw and heard on your little ‘strolls’, like the conversation between Cassandra and Roderick that you overheard in the dungeon.

You leave out your reason for those ‘strolls’ as well as your reason for being in the castle.

“So what were you doing in Laura’s bedroom when the assassins attacked?” He asks.
“Selene had a nightmare about black things attacking in the night. I had a hunch and a bad feeling, so I went to check it out.” You respond.

“And what of your resources? The accounts I’ve heard so far tell me that you’ve been ‘footing the bill’, so to speak” he says.
“It’s never been much. The smuggler that got us out of the city was paid in false coin, and the gear didn’t cost much” You answer.
“Why neglect to pay the smuggler?” He asks.
“Because he’d already made his money off us by selling us out” You say. “And personally, I was offended”
“Offended by the fact that he sold you out?” Julian asks.
“Offended by the fact that it was so obvious.” You say.

King Julian gives you an odd look, and then clears his throat. “Back to the matter at hand. You still haven’t told me what you were doing in the palace in the first place.” He says.

“I was there to work as a servant” You say.
“I don’t appreciate lies, Mr. Giles.” He says. “Servants do not possess the skills you do, nor do they normally pay for references”

>writing

“What can I say? I’ve lived an interesting life” You say. “You pick up some unorthodox skills when you travel as long as I have, in the ways that I have.”
“That does not explain why you were in the palace, or why you bought your way in in the first place” He says.

“Curiosity” You say.
“You were… curious?” He asks.
You shrug. “I had always heard the palace was an interesting place. I wanted to see for myself”
“I find that hard to believe” He says.
“And why is that?” You ask.

“Because if it was mere interest that brought you to the palace, you would have left the moment things turned sour.” He says.
“I made friends. Forgive me for disliking the idea of abandoning them just because things look bad” You say.

King Julian scratches his well-trimmed goatee. “I have no idea what to think about you.” He says. “On one hand your background is incredibly suspicious, but on the other you’ve shown nothing but loyalty to my niece and her cause”

“Then don’t think about me” You say. “Let me be, and I shall continue to show said loyalty for so long as I’m needed”

The king ponders that for what feels like a long time. “Very well.” He says finally. “But know that should you ever betray the trust I am putting in you…”
“Consequences. Bad ones.” You say.

He nods.

“Is there anything else that you need from me?” You ask.
“Yes, I need you to tell Laura that I sent for her. If I know her, she’ll still be with my wife” He says.

You bow to the King. “By your leave” You say.
“Oh, and do try not to go snooping around here too much. There are quite a few people here who would rather you not go sniffing about for secrets” He says.
“Yourself included?” You ask.
“Myself included.” He says, waving you off.

You bow once more before turning on a heel and leaving the King’s office, making your way through the hallways to the Queen’s chamber.

The door is open this time, so you walk in. “Hello ladies” You say.

The queen isn't here anymore. It’s just Laura, with Selene in her lap, sitting on the couch drinking tea.

“Giles!” Selene exclaims, bouncing off of her sister and running up to hug you.
“Hey there, happy to see me?’ You ask, rustling her hair. “Oh, the King wanted to talk to you Laura.”
Laura smiles sadly. “I was expecting this.” She says. “Could you look after Selene for a while?”
“I don’t see why not” You say.

Laura stands up and walks over to you, bending down and giving Selene a kiss on the head before coming back up and standing on her toes to give you a kiss on the cheek.

“I shouldn’t be long. I’ll come and find you when I’m done” She says. Then she leaves.

Selene looks up at you expectantly.

>>39535875
Yes. It's not the first time I've screwed something like that up and it probably won't be the last.

Hilariously enough, I almost did the opposite and called Laura Selene's mother several times back when you guys didn't know about that. Now you know and I'm fucking it up the other way.

>>39535982
Better this way than that!

“You want me to teach you something?” You ask.
Selene nods.

Well, you could teach her how to do something like lock picking… but that would be a bit sketchy, especially here.

On the other hand, you need to remake your cloak. The temporary repair you made after Laura put a hole in it was always meant to be just that: temporary. But you’ve not yet gotten a good chance to sit down and get to work on that.


Now seems like as good a time as any…

You and Selene head back to your room, where you pull a swath of your blue fabric out, as well as some basic thread for holding it all together and gold thread for the edging.

"What's that for?" Selene asks.
"I am gong to teach you how to sew" You say.
Selene tilts her head in confusion. "What does that have to do with being sneaky?" She asks.
"Nothing. But it is a handy skill" You say.
Selene pouts.
"Oh, don't be like that. I can show you how to make a fancy cloak, just like mine!" You say. "And then we can match"

She smiles and sits down, ready to learn. Looks like that did the trick.

Crit

You cut out the proper pieces from your blue cloth, and get to work.

To start off you show her how to use a needle without stabbing herself every stitch. Then you show her how to stitch a seam,

After that you cut out a few pieces similar to yours, but sized for her.

The stitching goes well, and after some time the two of you have the first parts of your cloaks done.

Now all you have to do is make the second layer with the hidden pouch and embroider them, which could take a while…

“So how’re you holding up, Kiddo?” You ask as you stitch the sorcerer’s sack into the under-layer of your cloak.
“I’m okay” She says, doing something similar but with a normal pouch. “Last night was scary, ‘specially when mommy fell”

“It sure was” You say.
“I saw you go down there after that mean archer guy.” She says. “Was that my daddy?”
“Yes, that was Salem.” You say.

Selene looks pretty down.
“Don’t you worry about him, kiddo. You’ll always have me” You say.
She looks up from her cloak and tilts her head. “Are you gonna be my daddy?” She asks.

“OW!” You exclaim. That caught you so off guard you accidentally stab yourself in the hand with the needle.

"I don't know about that, but look at it this way, if your'e ever in need of help or care you know i'll be around if you ever need it." something along those lines...

You shake off the pain in your hand. It’s not bleeding all that much, you were just surprised.

You observe Selene for a few seconds before answering. She really is a tenacious little runt. You’ve known grown men who would cave under half the pressure that she’s been under.

Sure she’s had some great support, but stress is stress, and she holds it together damn well.

“I don’t know about being your new dad, but if it comes down to it I will take care of you.” You say. “Why do you want me to be your dad, anyway?”

“Because mommy likes you.” She says. “and I never got to have a daddy before”
“I never got a mom, but that didn’t mean that I went around trying to set Father Pitre up.” You say.
Selene looks down. “I just want you to stay” She says.

You shift closer to her and pull her into a hug. “Don’t you worry about that, okay? I may not be able to stick around for ever, but I have no plans to leave any time soon”
“Promise?” She asks.
“Promise” You say.

Selene switches back to her usual bright self, and you give her a squeeze before pulling away and showing her how to embroider…

>[1/2]

An hour or so later, you’re finally done. You re-did your old pattern around the edges of your cloak, and Selene got creative and made an edging that looks like dragon scales.

You’re in the process of making sure that everything fits when you hear a knock on the door.

“It’s Laura, are you guys in there?”

Selene almost explodes with happiness and bounds over to the door, throwing it wide open and leaping up to hug Laura.

“Laura! Look!” She says, dropping back down and spinning to show off her new cloak.
“Very cool! Did Giles make that?” She asks.
“Nuh-uh. I made it all myself!” She says.

Laura looks from Selene, to you, then back. And then she bursts out laughing.
“What’s so funny?” You ask.
Laura takes a second to finish off her laughter before answering “I… I never thought, of all the people to teach her how to sew, that it would be you!” She says.
“What’s wrong with a man who knows how to sew?” You ask.
“Nothing, I just…” She wipes her eye. “of all the things that you guys could have been doing, sewing was the last thing I expected… And it’s a very nice cloak sweetie.”

“You seem to be enjoying yourself” You say, donning your own newly finished cloak.
She smiles. “After all the ugliness of the last couple of days, it’s nice to be pleasantly surprised for once” She says.

“Truer words have never been spoken” You say. “So what did the King have to say?”
“Not much. I was doing most of the talking. Though he did ask quite a few questions about you” She says.

“I am a curious fellow. I hope you didn’t say anything bad” You say.
“I’m sure some of it was bad, but the good well outweighs it” She says. “Do you think he doesn’t like you?”
“I kind of got that impression” You say.
“Don’t worry about that. He comes off as harsh at first, but he’ll warm up to you” She says.


“Is that so…” You say, piling up your stuff.
“Anyways, it sounds like he’s having a big welcoming dinner for us in the hall. You coming?” She asks.

“Sure, let’s go” You say.

The three of you make your way out of the room towards the dining hall, with Selene skipping happily ahead while you and Laura walk beside each other at a normal pace.

“While I’ve got you, there was something I wanted to ask.” Laura says.
“Shoot” You say.
“It sounds like I’ll be pretty busy while we’re here. King Julian as holding a meeting every day, and I’ll be expected to be at all of them.” She says. “Would you mind looking after Selene?”

“I’m not invited to the meetings?” You ask.
“You could come if you want… I suppose. But they’ll probably be droll affairs. War councils sound exciting in principle, but it will mostly be the nitty-gritty of it all, which is never interesting” She says.

“Watching Selene sounds good” You say.
“I thought so” Laura replies. “If you want, I’ll fill you in on what goes on in the meetings.”
“Cool, I get the abridged version of a daylong meeting without having to sit through it, AND I get to goof around with Selene all day. This is a pretty sweet deal you’re handing me Laura” You say.

“Well, I’m glad one of us will be having fun” She says. That didn’t sound bitter. Not at all.

“Something wrong?” You ask.
She sighs. “I’m not even sure anymore”
“Things will get better” You say.
“Not before they get worse…” She replies.
“Well you know what they say ‘the night is always darkest before the dawn’. And you happen to have an expert on operating in the darkest of nights” You say.

Laura smiles. “Thanks Giles. I’m really not sure where I’d be without you.” She says.
“I try not to think about it” You say.

You reach the dining hall at last, and enter to find that everyone but the King and Queen are here. Selene is currently busy showing off her new cloak to anyone who will pay attention. Which is everyone, so all eyes are on her.

Her expression sours when she sees you. “What do you want?” She asks.

You sigh. “Look, I’m sorry about what happened in the carriage” You say.
“You should be” She says.
“I was tired, and it honestly didn’t occur to me that you guys could have been changing.” You say.

She still looks mad.
“If it’ll make you feel better, I could let you see me naked.” You say.

Her face turns bright red.
“Y’know, so we’ll be even” You say.

“I’m about as serious as you want me to be” You say.
Melissa looks up from the table to stare at you in awe.

“Also, what happened to ‘you’ve seen me naked before so I don’t have to worry about wearing next to nothing’?” You ask.
“That was different” She says.

You examine her for a moment, but then you shrug. “If you say so.” You say.
“What do you want anyway?” She asks.
“Marcy doesn’t want to room with you” You say.
“He couldn’t just tell me this?” She asks.
“He didn’t?” You ask.

“No. As far as I know he had no problems with it” She says.

You sigh. So you didn’t even try, huh Marcy?
Ah well. It’s not like you blame her. You hate dealing with angry Melissa, and you know how to turn her around. You’d hate to see Marcy try it.

“I guess if he wanted to he could still room with you… unless you still want to share one with me…” She says.

inb4 "So, remember what you said about being even and all?"

“I’d still room with you if you’d have me” You say.
“Oh? A glutton for punishment I see” She says.
“The punishment will be worth the prize” You say.

That has the desired effect of making Melissa blush.

“Alright. But if I see any part of you that I don’t want to, I’m cutting it off. Got it?” She says.
“Well, that all depends on how much of me you want to see.” You say.

You are going to pay for that one. But again, the punishment is worth the prize of seeing Melissa get all flustered.

Before she can bite back, King Julian and Queen Georgia enter the room.

“Sorry I’m late, friends. The trouble with being a King is that there is always work to be done.” He says, making his way to the head of the table.

“I was starting to wonder if you’d forgotten about us, your grace” Dalen says.
“Give it a few hours and some wine, and I just might.” He says.

As if that was their cue, servants enter the hall bearing food and drink. Everyone shuffles over to a seat, and you sit down where you are next to Melissa.

>[1/2]

Once everyone is seated and served, the King stands.

“A toast! To the dead, long may they rest. And to the living, long may they draw breath” He says.
“Here here!” Dalen shouts.

Everyone drinks. Some at a quicker pace than others. You take a little sip, as wine has never been your thing. You can’t help but notice that Melissa’s glass is empty by the time she puts it down.

“The next few days will be all about business, and a dirty business it is. But for tonight, we celebrate that we can all be together now!” King Julian says.

You sit back and enjoy the chatter. Everyone is going to be busy starting tomorrow, and it’s likely that they’ll continue to be busy until the end of all this.

Their task will be the meetings and councils and planning. Yours will be behind the scenes.

This entire thing will go Roderick’s way without your interference, and that means that you’ll be working the Brotherhood of Night to the bone. Tomorrow morning when you see Kuma, she’s not leaving until every last one of her Brothers is put to work.

While they strive for the dawn, you’ll be busy showing Fate’s Champion that in the darkest night there is nothing more terrifying than you.

A lesson he will take to heart, no doubt…

You lift your glass to your lips and smile. That you can drink to.

That's all for tonight. I hope you guys still enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.

This week has been a weird one. Hopefully next week I can actually make a schedule and keep to it. But still expect the occasional surprise unscheduled thread.

Speaking of threads, there will be none this weekend. Next thread will likely be on Monday night.

As always, I'll be sticking around for question time

>>39539530
thanks for running

>>39539530
Thanks for running
Will there be any more devils next?
It cant only be Giles and Cass

>>39539556
You're assuming Cassandra is a devil

>>39539530
thank's for the thread!

>>39539556
Giles is probably the only devil who somehow has a name

>>39539572
Wait
She is not?
Then..Rodrick?

>>39539556
Being sneaky doesn't make you a devil
