Let's Play: Black Wolves Saga -Bloody Nightmare-

Whoa, you guys really kept going, huh? I still can't get over the first(?) horrifying thing that happened in that stream. It's branded into my mind. O_O

Yea, once shit started hitting the fan we just couldn't stop XD And then the shit never stopped hitting....

We got up to the second choice. :3c

This is so intense.
I...

Intermission

In Garibaldi VI's bedroom...



Garibaldi VI is hackin up a lung. Mejojo and Auger are with him, chiding him that he shouldn't have partied so hard. The king says he's fine now, that he's lying down and relaxing. Mejojo asks if he needs anything, and the king declines his offer. Mejojo seems surprised that his father is becoming unselfish(?).



Auger agrees with Mejojo, saying that it's unusual for their father to be so shrewd, considering how he was like in his youth. Maybe he's mellowed out in his old age?

Mejojo: Can it be? Our father, who destroyed the Rabbits in order to protect the throne, now only wants to lie down?

Garibaldi VI: ........

Mejojo smirks, and adds that they are grateful for their Father's efforts.

Mejojo: For the sake of us with little knowledge or experience, please, live long.

I have to add that I think he sounds really sarcastic (or maybe it's just since I saw a bit more of the game in the stream, it's colored my thoughts on these guys...).



Garibaldi mentions that the wolves and Zodeiba are still a threat to the country, and while they're still around he can't die. Auger agrees, saying that he and Mejojo are really relying on their amazing father. But, their father should also try to get some rest. Mejojo and Auger will do their best to protect the country. Mejojo promises his father (and I just can't get over how sarcastic he sounds) that no matter how many people die from Zodeiba or the Wolf attacks, he'll protect Weblin using everything that his Father taught them.

The king is actually a bit taken aback with how bad the situation's gotten. He laments over the state of the country, and also remembers about Fiona. He asks how she is. Mejojo regrets that they had to tear her from her family and how pitiable she looks, crying all the time. Since she's a Robeira, he's arranged for a doctor to be nearby.

The king apologizes to Edgar, under his breath. Edgar helped the king in the war with the Rabbits and was his right-hand man... his comrade in arms. They are best friends to this day. (Uhhh Edgar helped out killing the rabbits? and he adopted Zara as Fiona's servant.....? i thought he would be a nice route..... i just.... i just)

The king asks Mejojo and Auger to somehow return Fiona back to her family. Mejojo would like to..... but providing evidence that proves Fiona is not a witch has been difficult. The proof that she is a witch for the rabble outside is because she's alive.



Auger: To prove that she's not a witch, we would have to kill her~ Hehe.

Garibaldi: K-Kill?! K-caff cough cough COUGH!

Mejojo: Auger! Do not say things to rile up Father!

Auger: Ahaha, sorry, Nii-san. I guess I'm just too honest.

The king calms everyone down, saying he's okay now. To Mejojo, he's going to entrust everything. Weblin, Fiona, and also Julian..... he asks Mejojo to protect those pitiable children.

Mejojo answers that he will, of course.

The king thanks him, and feeling relieved, asks for them to leave since he's feeling tired.




In the Royal Castle corridor....



Auger: Dang. Looks like the old man's gonna die soon.

Mejojo: That is right. However, he still has his uses. We need him alive for a little while longer.

A soldier steps up to them (I wanna say hesitantly) and reports that patrols have spotted Wolves near the royal castle.



Auger: Ah yea, c'mere for a sec. I have a little request?

Soldier: W-What is it...?



Auger: Could you die?





Mejojo: A stab to the throat? It seems your sword arm has not weakened, Auger.

Auger: Really? Nii-san's still the best, though.

Mejojo warns Auger to be more careful though, as everything can be heard in the castle if someone knows how to listen (so like, "the walls have ears"). He'll order the CCK to throw the body in the river later.

Auger: Wa, Nii-san is such an awful~ guy~

Mejojo: No more than you.

Mejojo continues where he left off before they were interrupted by the soldier. They need their father to die with the extermination of the Wolves on his record, as a black mark on his history. Auger "looks" surprised that Mejojo wants to push that curse on their father so much. Mejojo explains that Garibaldi VI's name needs to be dragged through the mud.



Auger: Garibaldi VI, the one who destroyed the Rabbits and killed the Wolves... Haha, he'll have a nasty name in history.

Then, they can cut off his name from the royal family history. Mejojo gleefully calls this a long-cherished ambition.



Mejojo: When the boorish Wolves are destroyed, I will obtain this country.... absolutely.

Auger: Yea. That's right, Nii-san. No one suits the throne of this country more than you.

Mejojo: ...Of course.




IN DA GEMU OF THRONES, U KATSU OR U SHINU

That laugh, man.

A dream.

A disturbing dream.

A nightmare that resembles reality.

A nightmare very similar to the past.

A dream.

A disturbing dream.




Auger: Someone! Someone help Nii-san! His fever just keeps rising...!

Auger: Someone, call a doctor...! Nii-san will die at this rate! Someone...!!



Leonidas: I'm sorry, Auger-sama, I'm back. All the doctors in the royal castle have been stationed in Rayleigh-sama's room...

Auger: To Rayleigh-sama's room...?

Leonidas: Yes. I was told that Julian-sama has caught a cold...

Auger: A lie...!! That's a lie...! I was just playing outside with Julian a little while ago!

Leonidas: Still... Rayleigh-sama told me that Julian-sama has a fever...

Auger: Then please tell Rayleigh-sama that Nii-san got a sudden sickness...! After we ate, he suddenly got a high fever...!!

Auger: Even one doctor would be fine, can't she spare one? Can you ask her?

Leonidas: Ha...! Got it!

Leonidas runs off.



................

Mejojo is breathing painfully and heavily.

Auger: Nii-san, hang in there...! Hang in there Nii-san...!!

Leonidas comes in.



Auger: The doctor...?

Leonidas: I am so sorry...!! Rayleigh-sama couldn't spare one...!!

Auger: Why...? It's just one doctor...!!

Elenora: Ahh..... I am sorry. I am so sorry, Mejojo, Auger.

Auger: Mother...?

Elenora: I am sorry, Mejojo. I am sorry, Auger.

Auger: Why.... Why are you apologizing!

Elenora: ...What did Rayleigh-sama say? She couldn't send away one of the doctors.

Leonidas: ...!!

Auger: Is... is that so?! Is that so?!

Elenora: Stop it, Auger. It's.. my fault. Because I am not His Majesty's legal wife.... thus, we must suffer.

(Rayleigh is the first wife. It looks like Elenora is the second, so she's like the concubine.)

Elenora: I am sorry. I am so sorry....



Mejojo: *gasp, pant* Don't.... cry, Mother.....

Elenora: Haha, you're a kind child, Mejojo. You're so loveable, Mejojo. I love you.

Elenora: I am so sorry your mother is not powerful.... If I was loved more by his Majesty.... If I was the legal wife...

Auger: ...!

Auger: I'll ask her personally...!!




Auger: Please, Rayleigh-sama...! Just one doctor! Couldn't you give us one doctor!!

Auger: Nii-san suddenly got so sick...!! His temperature keeps rising, and he's suffering...!!

Rayleigh: I'm sorry, Auger. I'm afraid I can't. Julian also has a fever.

Auger: But... how? Julian was fine! We were just playing before, so why does he need to be surrounded by doctors?! Nii-san...!

Rayleigh: Auger! Do you understand what you are saying?!

Auger: Eh...?

Rayleigh: Certainly, Julian might have been energetic before! But now he has a fever!!

Rayleigh: Will you take responsibility if his condition worsens?!

Rayleigh: I didn't want to say this... but even though you are brothers, and even though you are both children, your stations are different! I hope you understand!!

Auger: Then...!! Then, Rayleigh-sama, Nii-san...?! What about Nii-san...!

Rayleigh: Well, I don't know what to do! Shouldn't you ask your mother about that? Aahh, excuse me...

Rayleigh: I guess Elenora doesn't have anyone supporting her, huh...!

Auger: ...!

Rayleigh: Or, maybe Mejojo is feigning an illness to attract the attention of His Majesty?

Rayleigh: He would mess up his health just to oppose Julian. What a pathetic story.

Auger: It's not like that...! Nii-san looks like he's really in pain...! Please, please...!!

Rayleigh: Go back home, already! I'm sure it was just something strange that he picked up and ate! You are children of lowly status, after all!

Auger: That's...!!

Rayleigh: If you keep this up, should I call a soldier?!

Auger: Rayleigh-sama!!

Footsteps.

Auger: Nii-san....!


Julian: What did Auger want?

Rayleigh: It was nothing, Julian. You don't have to worry about anything.

Julian: Why do I have to stay here with the doctors? I feel fine.

Julian: I want to go play with Auger and Mejojo.

Rayleigh: That would not be a good idea, Julian. You are unwell. You have a fever.

Julian: But I don't feel hot... Why wouldn't it be good?




Auger: Why...! They why did Rayleigh-sama collect all the doctors...!

Auger: ...!

Auger: No way.... no way. Rayleigh-sama...? Nii-san started to run a fever after the meal...

Auger: ...!!

Auger runs.



Later, somewhere, some nobles are gossiping about someone trying to assassinate Mejojo. There was poison mixed into his food. They tried to find the culprit, but there was nothing.

Some maids also gossip about the twins. One finds them so pitiable. They were just given the rat knights to guard them. Another finds the twins to have an aristocratic air, and that they have king-like qualities. The other one shushes her, saying that if Rayleigh heard that, who knows what would happen. Maid 2 asks if something happened recently, and Maid 1 says that even though it's supposed to be a secret, Mejojo was almost killed again just the other day. A thief broke into his bedroom, but luckily Mejojo was clever enough to keep the CCK under his bed, and they protected him. But once the thief was caught, he poisoned himself. The other maid is shocked, and the one telling the story doesn't want to say anymore. They both find the situation to be really sad.





Mejojo: Auger.

Auger: What, Nii-san?

Mejojo: We have to protect Mother. Everyone else in this castle are our enemies.

Auger: Yea, that's right, Nii-san. The two of us are Mom's only allies.

Mejojo: Ah. Yea, that's right. The three of us are our only allies in the castle. We'll survive... Auger.

Auger: Yea, Nii-san. ... We'll survive.





Elenora: My cute twins... when I am forgotten, will it be unpleasant?

Elenora: I only have you two. Only you two are my supporters. Remember, your poor mother.

Elenora: Will it be unpleasant? Please do not go anywhere.... Mejojo, Auger. Please don't go...

Elenora: Only you two love me. Hey, look, would you give your Mother a kiss? Do you two love your mother?

Elenora: His Majesty does not look at me.... He loves only Rayleigh-sama.... His Majesty. His Majesty. His Majesty. His Majesty, His Majesty, His Majesty, *gasp*

Elenora: But it's okay.... I have you two. Mejojo, Auger, you two are all I have.

Elenora: You two love me....





Elenora: Hey, Mejojo, Auger, will you play a game with me?

Auger: A game? Why do you want to do that? Are you feeling okay?

Elenora: Yes, I feel very good today... So, I want to play a game!

Mejojo: I have no problem with it. So, what game do you want to play?

Elenora: So, how about... A test of strength?

Mejojo: A test of strength? Mother, that's impossible. Our stature and power is better than yours, so we would win.

Auger: That's right, Mom. No matter the circumstances, we would win a test of strength. It's not fair.

Elenora: Hehe, I thought so too. Should we try it out?



Auger: Hm....

Mejojo: Uh....

Auger: ...? What's up with this, Mom?

Mejojo: I thought I heard you say you wanted to test our strength?

Auger: Yea, I heard that too. So why are we in front of such a huge bookshelf?

Elenora: Heheh. Sorry, I'll be honest. I remodeled the room a little while ago...

Elenora: The bookshelf was too heavy for me to move. Even when I took out all its contents, I could only move it a little.

Mejojo: Why didn't you call for a servant?

Elenora: I can't, Mejojo. It wouldn't be good for a human like me to use a servant, since I'm not favored by His Majesty.

Elenora: I'm grateful that I can even stay in the castle. Don't you think so?

Elenora: So, I shouldn't become conceited and ask the servants for help.

Mejojo: Mother...

Auger: Well, you're defeated by this trivial thing, Nii-san? It's what Mother wants, though.

Elenora: Yes! Good Auger, you're such a kind child.

Mejojo: ...Ah, no, I didn't mean to bully Mom at all. Well then, let's do it.

Auger: Huh? You changed your mind?



Mejojo: Hoho, it seems Auger wants a taste of my bullying instead.

Auger: Joking! I was joking, I wasn't serious. Man... Nii-san can be really straight.

Mejojo: Hmph.

Elenora: *giggle* It makes me happy that you two are such good friends, even as brothers.

Mejojo: It's such a bother to put up with a difficult younger brother, though.

Auger: Ahhh, you'd say such a thing, Nii-san? Nii-san's the one who made me this difficult.

Mejojo: What do you mean? I... was never really glad to have a younger brother.

Auger: Uwa, that's awful! Nii-san is cruel!!

They continue to playfully tease each other (Oh, nice teasing, I've missed you so much ;_;), Auger saying that he tries to act like Mejojo to make his life easier because they're twins, and Mejojo catches Auger trying to lay the blame of "difficulty" on him.



Elenora: *giggle* You two are such good friends. Would you play a test of strength with me?

Auger: Ah, I thought you needed help?

Elenora: Oh my, a test of strength is a test of strength. I wasn't able to move the bookshelf, so shall we see if you two can do it? See, a test of strength.

Mejojo: When you say it like that, it makes sense. Well, I don't mind. Auger, what will you do?

Auger: Ahahaha, is there I reason I should refuse Mom's request? Nii-san, you better try your best for the moment.

Mejojo: Yea, I hear you.

Elenora: Thank you, you two. I cannot do this by myself.
.... By myself.




Auger: Heave-ho! Mom, are you ready over there?

Elenora: Yes, I'm ready. I put some rope and sheets over it so the books don't move.

Mejojo: Alright then, Mother, please keep watch of the books. We can't, since we're moving the bookshelf.

Elenora: Yes, please. I'll watch while I push from the other side.

Auger: Understood~

Mejojo: I see. However, please don't overwork yourself, okay?

Elenora: Yes, of course. *giggle* I'm so happy to have such reliable sons..... really happy.

Mejojo: Well then, Auger. You pull from over there, I'll pull from here.

Auger: I got it, Nii-san.

Mejojo: Then, let's go, Mother!

Auger: Ready, set...!

They start to pull.



Mejojo: ....It, It's really heavy...!

Auger: R, Really...!

Mejojo: How about this? Is this enough?

Auger: Yea, I think so. Mom, what do you think?

Elenora: .......



Mejojo: Mother...?

Auger: Hey, Mom, should we pull some more?

Elenora: .........

Mejojo: Huh...?

Auger: Hm...? (ears update: they are twitching. this isn't the best time but i thought you'd wanna know~)

Auger: Hey, Mom, what do you say?

Mejojo: Mother?

Auger: ...!!

Mejojo: ...!!

In Mejojo's room....



Mejojo wakes up with a start, gasping and panting.

Auger: It's unusual for Nii-san to doze off... It sounded like a nightmare.



Auger: Did you see that dream?

Mejojo: It was nothing. I just... had a bad dream, for a bit.

Auger: "A bad dream". Poor Nii-san. I'll comfort you, since we are our only allies.

Auger: We are our only allies in this castle. I have nothing but Nii-san.... and Nii-san has nothing but me.



Mejojo: ...We will survive. Auger.

Auger: That's right, Nii-san. We'll survive. Hehehe, we'll live, right? We'll absolutely survive.

Auger: Look, Nii-san, let's have some fun and play! Didn't Mom say so? Let's sing, let's dance, let's have a good time!

Mejojo: ...Ah. That is right. Mother lost the test of strength.

Auger: Right, right. Therefore, Nii-san and I must win the test of strength for Mom.

Auger: Ahahaha... Nii-san, Let's play and enjoy ourselves! Nii-san and I will play the game!

Mejojo: Aah. That is right, Auger. We'll have fun. We'll play happily. We will play the test of strength.



Mejojo: We cannot be defeated. If we lose, we will be hanged. Ahahaha, is it not an amusing game?



Mejojo: I must win, without fail. To destroy the Wolves. To obtain Fiona. I will not let anyone or anything stand in my way... I will win!






..... All aboard the Trauma Train!! CHOO CHOOOOOOO

Oh, I missed that stream yesterday. I guess some vague terrible events happen to Fiona.

Not just Fiona, it was kind of like.... everyone. This looks to be Terrible Events: The Game. XD

This next part is so long, and it involves Nesso, so I'm just gonna whip through it. :3c




Several days have passed since Fiona was taken to the castle, but the fears of the villagers in Shallmessan still run strong. They've surrounded Shallmessan Castle. Nesso is outside, watching the crowd. Their pinning their fears onto Fiona, who they think is a witch, because Wolf attacks happen without warning, and Zodeiva is invisible. They think all this formless evil is the act of the witch. He calls them idiots and heads inside the castle, unnoticed.




Edgar and the puppies (PEARL IS WAGGING HIS TAIL SALAJFLIJHKSJDFJGH) welcome him home, and asking if there's any news. Pearl and RIchie are really worried for Fiona, all alone in the castle, and Pearl starts to cry (;________; noo puppies nooooo)

The crowd outside wants to burn down the witch's tower, thinking that the witch's curse is still in Shallmessan due to it. Nesso has tried many times to convince the crowd that Fiona's not a witch, and is only alive due to their care. Everyone actually understands that, but they're all still scared. There's nothing they can do against the Wolf attacks. But if Fiona is a witch, then she could save them.

Back to the present... No matter what the villagers say, he believes they think all their hardships will be gone if they knock down the tower and kill Fiona. Edgar suggests to burn it down, and Nesso laments over all the wasted years they spent raising Fiona. He'd be willing to do it, but he doesn't think it'll appease the people in the long run. When they burn the tower, their misery will only continue. The people won't calm down, and their demands will escalate, and they'll target Fiona.

Nesso had knights from his squadron(?) on patrol to make sure the crowd doesn't get out of hand and try to storm the castle. Elsa and the others volunteered when they heard the news.




Pearl and Richie ask for Nesso to return life back to the way it was in the tower. (baby puppies dont be sad nooo ; 3;)

Nesso suggests everyone go to their rooms and rest, while he'll go back to guarding the place.




When Edgar and the puppies (;_;) leave, Nesso notices Elsa Clifford waiting in the hall. He's serves Nesso in his squadron as his Vice-captain(?) (okay I've been calling them "Winged Knight Squadron" but I think their actual name is.... Greifritta??? Fuck if I know). He's a lion man.

Nesso tells Elsa that they've decided to wait and see for now. This standoff has lef them all tired. The knights don't want to attack the villagers, and neither do the villagers want to attack the knights.

And then they talk. And talk. AND TALK. This CG goes on FOREVERRRR




Blah blah blah, Elsa tells Nesso to run after his happiness (OH GEE I WONDER WHAT THAT IS), it's not like "The Demon of Weblin" (referring to his infamy on the battlefield) to just wait around. At this rate, even Mejojo's rats could beat him (DAMN STRAIGHT).



Elsa tells him he's just joking, but for Nesso, Fiona is irreplaceable. Yes, Nesso has told Elsa many, many times about his IMOUTO. Welp, Elsa will support Nesso if he does decide to marry his IMOUTO. Nesso chuckles, and asks if that's bad (YES IT BAD IS YOU BUTTHEAD).



Elsa says he'll forgive him. They're able to joke around like this casually because they're really close friends. Nesso then changes the subject to outside, asking if there's anything to report. Elsa says that it's mostly the same, only there are more people with torches at night. Nesso suggests to have water nearby in case something happens. He tells him to ask Zara for some servants to help, since he's leading the servants right now. They can meet without him, but the should report to him on what they ultimately decide to do.



Elsa also thanks Nesso for the food that was put out a little while ago. He says it was pretty decent food. Nesso says that he'll pass along his compliments, and that giving some food for his men was the least he could do. Elsa tells him to shut it; his men are here because they want to help. They don't want any reward. But if he really wants to thank them.... they would accept some direct training from him. That would be better than gold(?). Nesso says he's fine with that, and he won't hold anything back.

Elsa says he'll go check outside once more before reporting to Zara. He comments that their talk is like talking about a battlefield.

When suddenly...




*CRASH!*

The window by Nesso broke open, sending glass everywhere. He quickly used his mantle (cape?) to protect himself. Someone outside must have used a sling or some sort of weapon to throw a stone through the window, since it would be too far to reach otherwise. So it's turning into a full-scale mob... Nesso tells Elsa to warn everyone outside to be careful. Some servants run up, he also tells them to tell everyone to stay away from the windows.



Zara asks Nesso if he's okay. He says he's fine, someone should come and clean up the glass and cover the window. Zara says he'll take care of it. Nesso will go and report to Father.
Nesso thinks back to Fiona, as he walks to Edgar's room. He was invited to the Garibaldi party at the royal castle to check up on her. But Fiona wasn't crying, or suffering. She didn't seem to be in any pain. But, she'll only be fine as long as she stays in Mejojo's favor. Nesso wonders why Mejojo is so enamored with her... could she be a substitute for Elvira Galland?



Elvira Galland was the daughter of Marquis Galland, Edgar's elder brother. In the past, she was Mejojo's fiance. But at the Royal Castle, she fell in love with another man. She broke off her engagement to Mejojo. And afterwards, she became involved in the rebellion, and died. After that, Mejojo started to talk about Fiona becoming his fiance. Fiona and Elvira are relatives, so they look sort of similar.



But Fiona is Fiona. To Nesso, she is only his precious IMOUTO. He cannot hand her over to Mejojo! Actually, Nesso was the one who thought of keeping Fiona in the tower. At that time, he wasn't a knight serving in the castle, so he couldn't watch over her. If Fiona cried in the castle, he couldn't run to her. If Fiona was troubled, he couldn't help.

Fiona is hopeless without Nesso by her side.



If she were left in the castle (I'm not sure if he's referring to the Shallmessan or Royal castle in this monologue), then she would leave his hands. And Nesso could not allow that.... So he proposed to Edgar that they seperate her from the world. Nesso couldn't solve this problem with his sword, or his battlefield tactics . He wanted to keep her far out of Mejojo's reach. Above all else, Nesso doesn't want to give Fiona to anyone. Fiona, his cute IMOUTO.

When they were children, they made a promise to marry each other. Fiona's probably forgotten it now, but Nesso sure remembers it. Nesso has sworn that he'll protect his small, cute, and weak IMOUTO. He'll protect her, absolutely....

Gazing out the window, he reaffirms his determination...

Nesso: Fiona.... Fiona.... Fiona..... My......

So... that... was the bookcase scene... T_T That's horrible. How could a mother who that to her children! SHE MADE THEM HANG HER! I'd be pretty fucked up too if my mother did that to me.

I still don't like the twins though.

Nesso, just... gtfo now, please. Your face displeases me.
*shudder*

Nesso... oh gods it's Onii-chan all over again, I thought that was over why?

Leaving this thread going away bye gone... oh look puppies. never mind I'm staying.

Good thing we're staying away from the Onii-chan route. We can just stand and watch from FAAAAAAR away and laugh. And throw rocks at him

seriously what does he bring to the table, he doesn't even have cute ears or a tail

He brings nothing but gross feelings of shame and anger. >:C

(I don't know why I dislike Nesso more than any other potential love interests in this game, but I really do not like him. I was so happy when no one else liked him in the stream... :U)

N-Nesso... I... I mean beside the whole "I'm obsessed with my sister in a whole non-wholesome way.", I thought I could at least tolerate you... but.. that.. laugh..

I'm scared...

Yea I dunno what's going on with him, and I don't really care to find out. Do people find crazy laughter to be hot...?

It sure says something when he's the most unlikable out of a game full of psychos...

Back in Fiona's room.....



Leonidas is gently shaking Fiona, trying to get her up for the morning. She thinks its Zara and tells him to let her est for a little longer. Yesterday night was the ball, and so she's still sleepy. But, she's a bit confused. Zara would have pulled off her sheets without mercy, by now. This doesn't seem like him at all. Then, she realizes that Zara wouldn't be here, in the garden of the royal castle. She must still be half-asleep. She opens her eyes.

It's the leader of the CCK... He's as cute as ever. Without thinking, Fiona grabs him and squeeeeeezes him tight.

Leonidas: Wha! Wha- Wha- What are you doing!!

Fiona: Ahhh... so warm and soft...

Fiona: (But the helmet is a bit of a nuisance.)

The feeling reminds her of Pearl and Richie.

Leonidas: Are you still sleeping? With all due respect.... Tei!

Fiona: ...Ah.

Leonidas lightly slaps her cheek. But it was more of a shove than a strike. But it was really cute. While Fiona was blinking in surprise, Leonidas got out of her arms. Fiona wanted to hold him some more... But maybe, because he's an adult, it's different than with Pearl or Richie... He is the leader of the CCK. But he's still really cute. Leonidas tells her it's okay this time, but she should be more careful since she's Mejojo's fiance. Even though she was half-asleep, it would be a big problem if she were to hug other men like that. Fiona can't really see the CCK as men, though... they're too cute! But Fiona apologizes, saying she'll take care not to.

Leonidas shows her that breakfast has been prepared, and runs off. She calls him "unexpectedly cool". Despite their lovely appearance, all of the CCK take their duties seriously. Making sure he's left, she lets out a big yawn and stretches. She washes her face, dresses, and sets out to eat.

Fiona: This smells good...

Fiona: (But who made it...? Leonidas?)

It couldn't be. He can't reach up to the table. Fiona started looking about, until she heard footsteps approaching.



Julius: Ah, good morning. Are you awake?

Julius: I brought your beverage. Is milk alright?

Fiona: Sure, I'm fine with that.

Julian: Well then, I'm glad.

Julian: Here. Please, help yourself.

Fiona: Thank you.

At his urging, Fiona sits down at the seat. Like Zara, he stands to her right by the table. He really is her butler. It's surprising. Julian asks what's the matter, since she's been staring at him for some time. Fiona asks him who he is (wow hella rude much?), and realizing that she already know his name, instead asks why he's here. She's just being socially awkward I guess. Julian reintroduces himself as the caretaker of the garden. Fiona asks why he, the gardener, is taking care of her.



Julian: That's because... After all, I am the gardener, aren't I?

Fiona: Eh?

Julius shrugs his shoulders and winks mischievously. He gives her a small smile. His work is to maintain the garden, and since she's a resident, she falls under his care.

Fiona: *laugh* That is pretty funny.

Fiona: Since I'm living in the garden, I guess it's part of your job to look after me.

Julian goes on to explain that he was ordered by Mejojo and Auger to serve as Fiona's butler and to be her companion, so he hopes that they can get along. Fiona apologizes for being a burden, since on top of taking care of the garden, now he also has to take care of her. Julian reassures her, and that there's no need to apologize, because he can't leave the garden either. Besides, taking care of Fiona like a flower, and turning her into a beautiful person, will be fun too(?).

Fiona blushes at the comment. Once she gets over it, she starts to wonder why can't he leave the garden. She's here because people think she's a witch; does he have some special circumstances as well?



Julian :....

Julian glances at Fiona, seeing that she wants to say something. He just smiles sweetly in response. He asks her to please eat up.

Fiona: Uh, before that, I want to ask you something...

Julius: Relax, I'll tell you my story after you eat. Enjoy your meal, please.

Julius: If you don't it'll get cold. Or, do you want me to taste it for you?

Julius: Ah, are your chopsticks too heavy?

Fiona: ...Wait, do I really seem like such a child?

Julius: Hehe, I'm joking. Come on, please eat.

He has a gentle smile, and is somewhat pushy. He really reminds Fiona of Zara. Fiona says to herself that she may be weak in this kind of atmosphere (uh what? I don't get it o_o I think she means that she'll be easily pushed around...?). So whatever, she eats her breakfast for the time being.



Fiona: Thanks for the meal. It was very delicious.

Julius: I'm very glad. I'm sure the cooks will be happy as well, when I tell them.

Fiona: Thanks.

Julius offers her some tea. He goes off to call for some, and Fiona starts to feel uneasy again. The way he calls for a maid to bring some tea sounded like he was... commanding them. Is he really a gardener? Zara usually orders around people that worked under him, but the way Julius did it was like how a noble would do it. The same way Fiona would. Now that Fiona thinks about it, Julius acts more like her escort than an servant. While thinking about this, a maid promptly came back with a kettle. And the way Julius talks to her... he still doesn't feel like a servant. Julius asks how Fiona how she wants it, and she asks for sugar and milk. Fiona notices that he prepares the tea so gracefully. It was the kind of refinement only people trained in the nobility could see and do. Julius laughs, asking her why she's worried. He's noticed her watching him for quite some time.



So finally he spills the beans while they drink some delicious tea. His name used to be Julian Von Garibaldi. Fiona is SHOCKED. Julian is actually the older half-brother of Mejojo and Auger. Fiona goes pale. She was only calling Mejojo and Auger by their first names, in a friendly fashion, because they allowed it. Even if the Galland family is close to the royalty, they can't be impolite. And yet she's made a mockery of a member of the royal family, by using him as a servant... Fiona stands up from her chair, in a panic, and asks Julian for his forgiveness for being so impolite.

and shit
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit




Julian tells her to hold on, it's different now. He was disinherited, so there's no need to panic. Fiona doesn't understand the word "disinherited", so Julian explains more. He doesn't have any rights to the throne. So, there's no need to be so polite. He wouldn't know what to do.

Fiona concedes, and thinks to herself that even though he's older than her, he's very adorable.
(I AGREE (´ ▽｀).。。ｏ♡)

Julian goes on to say that Mejojo and Auger are more suited to be the princes anyway. Fiona isn't sure what to say. She thinks that being disinherited doesn't make you any less superior than anyone else(?). At the same time, she can't deny that Mejojo fits the king role. She wants to ask him if he's tried, but Julian gets in first and urges her to sit back down. He tries to brush off her worries with a smile and a laugh. Fiona sighs. She realizes that maybe he wouldn't be cut out to be king. She's heard that nobles can use their words like swords. Since she grew up in the tower she's never experienced it, but when she sees Mejojo and Auger, she finally understood. They can mislead and direct conversation however they want. So, in that sense, maybe Julian wouldn't be suitable.



Julian again asks her to sit down, and Fiona apologizes, saying she was lost in thought for a sec there. Julian isn't surprised. It's not everyday you hear that a gardener is a disinherited prince. But really..... Julian likes being a gardener. His life has a happy meaning now. And since he was disinherited, he can talk to her like this. It makes him happy that they can drink tea and chat. He's looking forward to it. Even though life in the garden is beautiful, it can get monotonous. Fiona comments that their situations were identical, where she was confined to the tower. Somehow, that makes Julian happy.



So they sit back down and drink some delicious tea. Fiona wants to hear more about him, if he's okay with it, which surprises Julian. He give a shy smiles though, saying that he's really happy. For a long time, the only people he's talked to were Mejojo and Auger. Fiona has to stop herself from blushing, because of his face...



Fiona wonders how he can smile like this since he lost his rights to the throne. Or maybe, because he smiles like this, he lost his rights to the throne(?). Fiona realizes that Julian is the fatal weak point of the royal family(?). But she really likes his smile, it's very kind.

Fiona asks if he decided to give up the throne. Fiona thinks it would be painful for such a gentle person as he to lose the throne unwillingly. Julian slowly responds that it would have been better if he gave it up himself. He lowers his eyebrows sadly. Julian goes on, saying that he really loved Auger and Mejojo. They were his cute younger brothers. He wanted to play with them as much as he could. ...But, his mother, Rayleigh, was different. She wanted Julian to be the heir by all means. When rumors started going around that Mejojo and Auger would be better kings than Julian, she began to see them as threats. Julian really thinks that his mother did some very cruel things to the twins. Fiona ruminates on the fact that people will fight so much in DA GEMU OF THRONES /shot over the throne.



While listening to Julian's story, Fiona recalls Auger's history lesson about the family crests in the hallway. Was he thinking about his own history at the time?

(btw i forgot to mention it at the time: you remember the first white cat king usurped the throne and killed all the red cats? he didn't have a legit claim to the throne, because his mom was the king's concubine. lol.)



Julian continues, saying that his mother was not just cruel to Mejojo and Auger, but also to their mother, Elenora. And one day...Mejojo and Auger's mother hanged herself. It was a cruel story. Really cruel. Julian admits that his mother was a very heartless person.

Even though Julian says this... Fiona thinks that Julian sounds indifferent as he recalls the past. She gets uncomfortable. She can't get over this feeling...

(FUCK i thought julian was sunshine and rainbows BUT THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL)
(FUUUUUUUUUUUCK)
(you know, now i remember why i STOPPED WATCHING GAME OF THRONES)
(IT'S BECAUSE I HATED EVERYBODY)

Julian goes on, saying that his mother also tried to get him to kill Mejojo and Auger. But it came to light one day, while he and Mejojo were doing a practice bout with their rapiers. Julian's rapier was coated with poison, enough to kill Mejojo. But, Julian is really glad that his skills are inferior to Mejojo, because in the end he only gave Mejojo a scratch. Still, the poison was strong enough to deeply affect Mejojo, bringing his health to a very dangerous state. Julian almost killed Mejojo...

In the wake of that incident, his mother's schemes were revealed. Julian was considered to be conspiring with his mother, and so they were both disinherited by the king. Fiona asks why his mom gave up so easily, considering she worked so hard with all her schemes. Julian says that she continued to claim innocence, but one day, she committed suicide by taking poison while she was under house arrest. Losing his prince title, and losing his mother, made Julian feel all alone in the castle. He felt really helpless. Then, Mejojo and Auger presented the garden to him, and it was his to take care of. This garden would be entrusted to him, on the condition that he wouldn't leave.



Fiona: Here...?



Julian: Yes, here. They entrusted the management of this garden to me. On the condition that...



Julian: ...That I couldn't leave.



Julian: I can't leave this place.



Fiona: That's...

Julian: House arrest. Right.



Julian: However, I am grateful. That those two gave me a home.



Julian: Even though... I tried to kill Mejojo.

Fiona: .....

Fiona thinks that Julian sounds really sincere. He is grateful to Mejojo and Auger. However... it is possible that Mejojo and Auger only left him in the garden for their own self-protection. Fiona's not very familiar with politics, but even she can see that much. Even though Julian was disinherited, he is still royal blood. He is worthy of being hailed as the king(?). Therefore, Mejojo and Auger confined him in the garden to keep him out of contact from everyone else. (i dont see why they didnt just kill him...) That's Fiona's hunch, anyway. Though, Fiona can see in his calm smile, that Julian does not doubt Mejojo and Auger's kindness (uh julian have you MET them? seriously?? god damn i doubt ALL OF YOU)

Julian goes on to say that, even though he lost his mother and the throne, he was lonely for only a little while. Fiona asks if he wants the throne after all. Julian thinks the only reason that he would want it, would be to prove that he is his father's son. To reestablish their connection. It's been hard on Julian, because up to then, he and his father had been getting along very well. So yea, Fiona comes to the conclusion that Julian really wouldn't be suited to be king, since his only motivation would be that. Julian is a kind person who only wants the throne to rekindle his bond with his father. But compared to Auger... Julian is not the type of person to compete with a gruesome fight over the kingship.

Julian goes on to say that even though his connection to his father has been cut, he's finally been able to get closer to his younger brothers. Fiona asks if he's fine with that. Yes, Julian is fine with that. Mejojo should really be the one to inherit the throne. Julian would rather peacefully live in the garden, taking care of the plants. He frowns, and says that up till now, he could only talk to Auger and Mejojo and that it was lonely... but then he smiles, since he has Fiona now.



Fiona: Me...?

Julian: Yes, you. If you'd like... could we keep talking like this, from now on?

Fiona: Yes, of course.

Julian: I'm so glad.

Saying so, Julian gave a soft laugh. Fiona looks at him, fascinated by his gentle, beautiful, fragile smile.



Fiona: (I've made my first friend in the castle...)

Fiona: My best regards, Julian.

Fiona stretches out her hand, and Julian respectfully grasps it back quietly.

In Nesso's POV..... (ugh)



It's been a few days since Fiona has been taken to the castle. The suspicions against her still haven't been cleared, and Shallmessan continues to be in turmoil. From the beginning, Fiona was out in the castle to dispel the people's doubts. That was obvious. Nesso has tried to meet with Fiona many times through Mejojo, but he's been refused every time. He was just informed that Fiona was fine, and that he didn't need to worry. Nesso starts to suspect that Mejojo doesn't want to two of them to see each other. Images of the worst swirl in his head everyday, and he's going crazy with worry. He felt like he 's gonna start a fight... He can't stand it anymore. And so, one day, after discussing it with Edgar, he goes to talk directly with Mejojo.



Nesso demands to know why he can't see his IMOUTO (have i mentioned that i hate it when he says IMOUTO. have i mentioned that i hate nesso). Mejojo is like, what the hell, this again? They can't let her go until the witch business is cleared up. Nesso retorts that Mejojo should know best that his IMOUTO is not a witch, though! She was invited to the party, after all. Auger tells Ne~sso-kun~ to settle down, or else everyone will hear him yelling. He then points out that bunny man servant should keep his master calm.



Zara gives no shits. He doesn't meddle because he's also worried about Fiona.



Auger goes on, pointing out that they were invited to the party to see that Fiona was fine. They can't change that Fiona still has suspicions of being a witch. Besides, don't they know that those accusations don't just lie with Fiona anymore? (it makes me smile whenever auger does that trollsmile WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME)

Nesso knows, sadly. The people who want to burn the tower and those guarding it have clashed, many times, no matter how much they claim that Fiona is not a witch. In the meantime, people in their territory have started to claim that the Galland family has been swayed by the witch's curse. Everyone, from Zara, Pearl, Richie, Edgar, Nesso, and the servants are suspected of being under the witch's spell, since they keep trying to defend her. Nesso calls it a foolish delusion. But, it's spreading like an epidemic. Just like what happened to the wolves with Zodeiba. Auger drives the point home, saying with a biting smile, that the distinguished House Galland and their very best knight are now accused of being cursed. Thus, Mejojo points out, that he can't let a family accused of witchcraft meet with a supposed witch.

He calls for Auger to get him outta here, they're done. Auger starts to push them out the door, when.... Nesso decides to use his last resort... before he came here, he already talked to his father about this. They had the full support from the Marquis.

Nesso ignores Nesso and moves past his hands, and goes up to Mejojo's desk. With this, he wants to meet with King Garibaldi Vi. He takes something out and puts it on the desk...



Mejojo is surprised, asking what this is.

It's the treasured dagger that Garibaldi VI presented to Edgar Galland for his distinguished service in the previous war. Recognizing this bond, Nesso requests an audience. Nesso and his family was willing to let go of this treasured dagger in order to meet with Fiona (y'know, I'm not sure, but I think this means that he's putting the Galland-Garibaldi relationship on the line if they keep refusing his request to see Fiona?). Everyone in the Galland house understood and agreed that this could happen, since the people are geting out of control and want to kill Fiona, thinking that if they sacrifice her, they can escape Zodeiba and the Wolves. Zodeiba has left a deep scar in the hearts of the people of Weblin. Thus, Father and Nesso decided that they needed to do this, even if it meant abandoning their house. Nesso waits for Mejojo's reply and.... things get...... uh...... very.....bad. Very fast.

Instead of Mejojo, Auger answered first.



Auger: Ahahaha! You're interesting. You think with this poor dagger, you'll get to meet with dad?

Auger brushes the dagger off the desk like it was garbage.

Nesso: What...!!

Nesso: That is the pride of the Galland house...!! Your Highness, you may be a prince, but that does not mean you can be tyrannical!

The dagger was proof of the friendship of the two families, through life and death...

Auger can't ignore the authority of the king. It's unforgivable. Plus, Edgar had to think long and hard in order to give it up, to get back Fiona.

Zara, who had been keeping quiet till now, suddenly spoke up. In a sharp whisper, he pleaded for Nesso to calm down. Nesso had put his hand on his sword. Auger starts to goad him on, calling Nesso boring for not taking it out. If he had, they could have thrown him in jail for treason. How disappointing.

Nesso demands to know why Auger is defying the king's power like this.

Auger: "His Majesty's power?" What is that. How stupid~ ....Really!



With a radiant smile, Auger starts to stomp on the dagger with his foot.

Zara and Nesso stare in shock.

Auger: His Majesty's power? Really? You're so annoyingly stupid. What power does a dying old man have?

Auger: Nesso, are you clever? As the top knight of Weblin?

Auger: Or has your brain just turned to muscle? Can't you speak?

Auger: Do you understand what I'm saying?

Auger: The gratitude from this good-for-nothing dagger! Are you seriously that stupid?! Ahaha, ahahahahaha!!!



While smiling and laughing like crazy, Auger keeps stomping on the dagger in earnest. Nesso and Zara can only stare, at a loss for words. Not so much from the sudden change in Auger, but from his words. He called His Majesty a "dying old man". His condition has deteriorated that far? So, His Majesty's power is running out. And that power is going to...



Nesso shifts his gaze to the two princes. Already, Garibaldi VI is just becoming a name. The ones with the real power... are Mejojo and Auger.

Nesso: ...!!

Auger: Ahahaha! You've already noticed? How surprising, it looks like your brain might not be just muscle.

Auger: But I don't hate clever people. (This was really weird, it's like a double-negative, i think. auger stop being so tricky)

Mejojo: Do you understand your position? Nesso, go home. When I need you, I will call for you.

Nesso: Your Highness... You... You would go that far? You would do all this just to obtain Fiona?

Mejojo: ...What?

Nesso: Just to keep her from her family, you would use your power to dress her up as a witch?! All just to get a hold of her...!!



Mejojo: ...!



Auger: Ni.... nii-san...?

Auger's voice suddenly changed to a tiny, childlike tone. Mejojo suddenly jumped up from his desk, drew out his rapier from his waist, and pierced Nesso's shoulder without hesitation.



Nesso: Gah...?!

It was so fast that Nesso didn't have time to react. A scorching pain went throughout his shoulder.

Zara: Nesso...!!

Nesso: Stay back... Zara...!

Keeping the rapier in his shoulder, Mejojo's eyes glitter with a scary shine.

Mejojo: Listen, Nesso! Why are you bastard knights so impudent?

Nesso: (Bastards...?)

Mejojo: You bastards are just tools...! The tools that serve the royal family! Know you place...!!

Mejojo: The Cats have ruled Weblin for generations, and Garibaldi will continue dominate.

Mejojo: Do you understand...?

Mejojo starts to twist the rapier in, and Nesso cries out in pain.

Zara: Please stop...!!

Auger: Whoops! Bunny-kun, could you play with me?

Auger steps in the way, blocking Zara from Mejojo.

Zara: I said, stop it, please!

Zara: What...!!

Auger: If you don't train a violent bunny-kun, they just get troublesome. Don't you agree?!

(OH NO YOU BEST STEP THE FUCK OFF AUGER)

Zara: ...!



Auger casually extends his arms, and grabs a hold of Zara's ears together. It was like how someone would hunt prey. An unreserved action. Nesso is a human so he can't understand, but he knows that species with animal characteristics have a lot of nerves in those areas, and they're really sensitive. Auger is clutching his ears with all his strength, so Nesso can't imagine the pain that Zara must be in.

Nesso: *gasp* ... Let Zara go...!

Mejojo: I am you opponent, Nesso.

Mejojo twists the rapier once more. Nesso cries out, gasping. But if he gives up now, then he'll be giving up Fiona. He looked over to Zara, and his face was grimacing at the pain, but his gaze unwavering, enduring the pain.

Nesso: (Zara, sorry-)

Zara got involved because Nesso brought him here. Still.... Nesso can't give up.

Mejojo: Do you understand? I am waiting for your answer. Nesso.

He twists it again, but Nesso doesn't give in.

Zara calls out to Nesso again, but Auger just reminds him that he's playing with him, and pulls on his ears, causing Zara to cry out in pain (AND THIS HURTS ME ;_____;)



Mejojo: You continue to be obstinate, Nesso.... I could wipe out your whole bastard family, you know?

Nesso: ...?!

Nesso: (Massacre the whole family...? Even Marquis Galland?)

Whatever the circumstances may be, there's no way anyone could have all that power. It would be impossible for Auger and Mejojo to ignore the opinions of the nobility. The would need a very good reason...

Mejojo: Heh.... Do you think I could not?

Nesso: .....



Mejojo: Haha, ahahaha!! You don't know anything...!! That makes me happy. Really happy...!!

Nesso: ...?

Nesso can only give a dubious look towards Mejojo, while he starts laughing loudly in front of him. And then all of a sudden he stops, smiling for a moment. His face returns to a more serious look, but there's something strange in his eyes. In a quiet voice,



Mejojo: Nesso. Surely, you must know. Ten years ago, what happened to the Wolves? The Wolves that were second in power to the Cats?

Nesso: ...?!

There could only be one thing that happened to the Wolves ten years ago. There was the Wolves' Royal Guard rebellion, and all of Wolf-kind continued the rebellion. They were also accused of spreading the Zodeiba plague. As a result, the other species began to abhor the Wolves, and conflicts between them continued to this day. Now they are endangered.

Nesso: (Don't tell me...)

A chill goes down Nesso's spine as he looks on in fear. He glances into Mejojo's eyes to confirm his suspicion. Mejojo just smirked. There was no doubt.

Mejojo: If you defy me, Nesso, I can have the whole Galland house killed for treason.

Mejojo: ...Just like ten years ago.

Nesso: No way, that....

What happened ten years ago... Mejojo had that kind of power when he was just 16 years old?

Nesso: (The Wolves persecuted.... ten years ago... no way.... the charges were, false...?)

Mejojo: What will you do? If I have to, I will. The first to die would be Fiona, of course.

Mejojo: I could do that right now.

Nesso: ....

Mejojo: Let's have an answer. Nesso... Do. You. Understand?

Nesso: ....I.....do....

Nesso could do nothing but squeeze out his voice. Mejojo and Auger had much more power than he was expecting.

Mejojo: Hmph. Do not waste my time, human peasant.



Nesso: *gasp!*...

At the same time the rapier was pulled out of his shoulder, Nesso fell to his knees.

Zara: Nesso...!!

Nesso: I'm fine... Zara.

The wound is deep, but the bone isn't broken. There is pain when he moves his arm, but his nerves seem fine(?).

Nesso says in his heart that actually, their condition isn't alright. Fiona is still trapped, His Majesty has already lost all his power, and the twins who will succeed the throne are mad. If the Wolf revolt really was something they made up.... they're beyond mad.

Nesso: (What to do...? What should I do to save Fiona...?)

Nesso tries to find some way out of this, but Mejojo already starts to talk slowly.

Mejojo: Nesso Galland. I will give you special orders.

Nesso: Special... orders?

Mejojo: Yes. It is an extraordinary mission. Are you happy? As expected of a knight, I have special orders for you.

Nesso: .....

Nesso: (My heart won't be in it.)

Mejojo: Nesso Galland. I order you to hunt the bastard Wolves in the frontier. Exterminate that dirty household.

Nesso: *gasp*....

Mejojo: What, will you defy me?

Nesso: ...No. I understand.

Mejojo: And, that rabbit man there.

Nesso: (...)

Nesso: Zara is not involved with this. He's just a butler of the Galland house. He doesn't serve the royal family.

In a panic, Nesso tries to intervene on Zara's behalf, so that he wouldn't get punished. Zara is employed the Galland house, so Mejojo had no right to order him around.

Mejojo: Hmph. You are a knight. Are you not my tool? What ownership can a tool claim?



Mejojo laughed scornfully at Nesso, with an arrogant air. He completely looked down on him. Mejojo demands that Zara introduces himself. Zara stays silent, and Auger just pulls on his ears to get him to answer his Nii-san. Nesso cries out for them to top, and he can see that Zara can't bear the pain any longer, even though he only lets out a small scream. Zara still stays silent though, and looks toward Nesso. He's waiting for Nesso's word.

Nesso: ...Zara. Answer.

Zara: ...Zara. Skeens.

Auger: Uwa, Bunny-kun is not being very cute. Should I discipline him further, Nii-san?

Auger: Or, grill and eat him?

(PLEASE STEP THE FUCK OFFFFFFFFFF)



Mejojo: Leave him, Auger.

Auger: Yee~s.

Zara: ...!

At Mejojo's command, Auger releases Zara at last. Zara's face droops and he loses his strength, finally succumbing to the pain.

Mejojo: Then, from this day, Zara Skeens, you are ordered to stay at the castle. You will research a cure for the Wolf Zodeiba disease.



Zara: ...Why? I am sure there are superior doctors and pharmacists in the castle.

Mejojo: Do not play a fool. Are you not a Rabbit? Give us the knowledge of the Rabbits.

Mejojo: Besides, weren't you researching something with Edgar? Bring your research to me. Unless, you want me to reveal it by force?

Zara: .....

Mejojo: Before, in the castle, all our doctors and pharmacists were Rabbits, so now we have none. ...Since my father killed them all.

(oh wow, papa king, you sure got some 20/20 foresight. What. The. Hell.)

Zara: *gasp!*

Nesso: Don't.... don't you understand? If you make Zara live in the castle...

Zara was a war orphan and lost his family due to the sovereignty dispute. Garibaldi V promoted the Rabbits due to their knowledge of medicine and pharmacology, and once he died... Garibaldi VI purged them. Even after all that, the royal family wants the Rabbbit's knowledge yet again. Mejojo claims that a bastard should be glad to become his property, and that he'll use whatever he can. He welcomes Zara with pleasure.

Nesso: ...!!



Zara takes a deep breath in and out, and accepts. Nesso tries to stop him, but Zara quietly reassures him that it'll be okay. Zara then pledges his service to Mejojo from this day forward. Mejojo chuckles, saying that the reasonableness of the Rabbits is as nice as he expected. He then orders them to leave, since there is nothing more to be said. He drove them away like they were dogs and cats, with a casual dismissal of his hand.

Nesso: (... This is miserable.)

Zara: ...I'm going, Nesso.

Nesso: ...Sorry, Zara.

Nesso: (This country.... It feels like it's dying.)

(the machine translation says that the country is becoming a lame duck. haaaaaaaaa)
(sorry i just... find anything with ducks funny)

His Majesty is still alive, so Auger and Mejojo have to hold themselves back somewhat. However, they've already stopped listening to the king. Weblin is not only under the Zodeiba epidemic, but also committed to madness... The people, the king, and the princes. It was like being held captive in a nightmare. As Nesso leaves the room, he eyes the dagger sparkling on the floor in vain.

This game is making me sad... D':

Here's video of when this scene goes nuclear, because, yea................
It's kinda long, but it starts from when Nesso puts the dagger on the desk.

My blatant favoritism towards Julian decided to interpret this 'indifference' as him being so traumatized that his feelings shut down when recalling those memories./stubborn

You know, I think I kind of like Mejojo and Auger but in a I'd-Never-Like-To-Know-Them-Personally kind of way.

And Nesso...if he were trying to save Fiona because he wants to be an awesome older brother that wants to protect his little sister, then he'd probably be one of my favorite characters. However, since part of his motivations involve marrying Fiona I can only frown at him. And look away while whistling when Mejojo stabs him.

I think I'll join you in that favoritism, if Zara can come along :3
But it's just... I keep expecting the worst. And yea, I agree with you on Mejojo and Auger. They make me laugh now, instead of shrinking in fear D: But I find that I like Auger more than Mejojo, because Mejojo shares those same dickbag controlling yandere qualities as Nesso, and... guh. Yes, I would rather deal with being verbally insulted and all that Auger stuff, than put up with controlling dickishness.

What is this game saying about me.

Holy shit, at 00:35 when Augur starts laughing I had a mini-shock and sat up straight in my chair. The music in this game is just perfect at setting the scene. The voicework is pretty damn awesome as well. Mejojo's VA does the unhinged/dangerous thing pretty well. And Augur is done so well it's fucking scary (literally)...

Edit: I'm really hoping that Zara doesn't suddenly start killing babies or something because I really like him as well. :\

What I learned from this video: Zara likes getting his ass groped.

Okay.

Brb, busy choking on laughter. Holy frick I need to buy this game.

There are no feels left for Zara to betray. If he does turn out to kill babies imma just throw my hands up in defeat.
and comfort myself by touching his puffy tail

*cough cough* I just realized, we haven't really seen full body shots of the characters, so... here they are. For reference. They're kinda tiny, but they're the only ones I could find.


d'aww, mejojo wears heels. how progressive~


zara is so kyute <3


wow guillan you just.... you just keep on truckin' man. O_O

~Shoes~ I <3 shoes so much those characters have amazing, wonderful shoes, I would wear all of them (especially the fellows on the bottom row). no I don't have a shoe fetish why

Lol, Guillan has a rather interesting taste in clothing. And y'know what? I think high-heels somehow suit Mejojo's character really well.

Hmm, now I'm wondering if their outfits have a little hole for their tail to poke through, or what... o_0

Just give me a moment to grope check Julian.
:D

Oh sure, Zara is pretty cool in my books too.

For this game, expecting the worst is probably the healthy approach. That way if Zara/Julian end up being cray cray you can just sigh and shake your head while I sob in the corner. If they are okay individuals the you'd be pleasantly surprised.

Auger is actually taller than Mejojo. 8D So my personal headcanon is that Mejojo wears heels (and Auger doesn't) in order to be taller lolol.

The thing that bugs me in the Fiona's eating scene is... chopsticks? Really? In a western-style medieval world, the use chopsticks? Come on japanese, you should learn the existence of forks, spoon and knives :/

I was requested to share the official BWS high school life stuff... These are some images I personally scanned from artbooks and whatnot.









Here you can see the high school AU relationship chart. Aaaand a friend of mine translated a part of a doujinshi set in the high school AU.

Enjoy! /o/

Ah, that's so cute! Thank you for sharing! c:

...is Julian a janitor/gardener or something? ._. It looks like everyone else is a student (or a teacher, maybe, in Arles's case?), but he's wearing overalls...

Thanks for sharing your scans Chamomile!!
Julian you poor baby ;_____;

Those scans are really damn adorable, my brain is just kinda melting right now...

I believe he is, haha. Julian is kind of the... Well, everyone in fandom abuses him and even over at Rejet they're always making him the butt of jokes. Recently Rejet posted all these pair icons—that is, Twitter icons with pairs of characters such as Mejojo and Auger or Guillan and Rath, etc. ...and Julian was all alone in one icon even though they expressly said these were PAIR icons. XD So "Julian is forever alone" is kind of this big fandom joke.

Haha, poor Julian... the guy just can't win, can he? At least he got an icon, though! It would've been even sadder if they'd forgotten about him or something. :P ...maybe.

Guillan is just so adorable. Ugh. I just want to cuddle him all night long.

Just a heads up, things will be a bit slow over the next couple of weeks because of papers and projects and finals. The LP isn't dead! There just probably won't be many updates for now. Hang in there~ :D

Also, foreveralone Julian gets me right in the kokoro. It's tempting me to LP his route(s) out of spite...

ヽ(；▽；)ノ Hello!! Just nervously stepping in to say that this LP is so amazing that I couldn't help but go and sign up here!! Please keep doing what you're doing ^p^ (i hope you enjoy the emotional trainwreck that is black wolves saga)

welcome to the folds of insanity Shari! now let me glomp your avatar.

Welcome to the forums! And thank you so much for your kind words!
I... think I'm actually enjoying it. But it might just be the communally gross sobbing. XD
