Blood Legacies (UPDATE 16/05/25| New Demo | 203k words)

Obviously if Mother fail to introduce you (MC) to Celia at the first time it will be done sometime later, it is illusion of choice when you as MC have none, same like killing prisoner sooner or later you (MC) will kill somebody regardless MC like it or not.

The theme is MC can’t have their way there is always complication, like with Fion refuse to execute Fion and others will do it the end result is the same either way Fion died.

The village rebellion event even if MC choose to surrender the villagers will die regardless, the theme always choose your poison :rofl:.

The only obvious pick if MC looking to rebel is Hayden. It just fit teenage rebellion perfectly.

I didn’t say or intend to imply illusion of choice (on the player’s part.) But it could be seen as manipulation on the part of the characters, you can choose between the choices she gives you, just as you can later with the wind elemental and your father, but you’re not given, for example, the choice to stay at home and study or go off and look for friends of your own. The MC’s life is fairly curated until they go to academy, that’s what I’m getting at.

When you grow up you realize the best partners are those you get along well without drama.
I like Cecilia too because of mature she is if you compare them to the other ROs.

I mean, sure. But when it comes to male ROs, the choices are all drama. Hayden the Petrus prince, Taylor the bstrd, Caio the definitely not a secret mage, and Nix the definitely mage and foreign prince.

For us who aren’t interested in a lady, there is no non-drama option. :rofl: But heck …I like a bit of spice in my fictional romances. :coffee:

Plus, my MC actually gets along great with Hayden when they are alone and can drop their respective acts.

Plus, there will still be drama with Cecilia. She’s a Petrus noble, after all. And Petrus and Darian don’t marry. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I wish we had more Darian RO choices available. My MC was judgemental to their father because he trusted Petrus nobility in the first place. Going full ‘I am worse than my father’ route.

I could handle it. Way easier than Hayden’s drama. Both dads don’t want you together, even worse version of Petrus and Darian romance cause they’re the princess/prince, that guy who took their first time coming back, rumors, and just Hayden in general is drama lol. Still trying their romance but not for my “canon” playthrough.

Muahaha! My MC is not afraid. He will face anything for his idiot prince, including the idiot himself. :saluting_face:

I do understand, though. I’m not interested in the ladies, but Cecilia is definitely my MC’s second most trusted among friends. Easily close to a sister to him.

What’s life without drama… Either way MC life already full of drama might as well revel on it.

Yeah it would have been alright if Hayden was always like that. But knowing they were once a decent child kinda makes me turn away from them.

Only childhood trauma of proportion can do that. If you are drama averse those kinds of people you want to avoid.

Will MC have the chance to find out about the late crown Princess true parentage and can they use that for a MAJOR political move ?

What ya talking about? I dont recall her not being who she was suppost to have been from far as parents go.

2 Likes

Her parents are the King and the Queen that died.

Her big sis, her mother, our mother dies in the mess MC father allowed.

I will always blame him for not warning as he should have. Silliness he had of whatever nonsense. Yes can be mad about the no help thing but leaving a crew of even ten enemies infiltrating? The damage they can cause to EVERYONE is astounding, as I expected it to be. Because it was far more than just ten. Idiot father of ours. I am glad I get to call him out several times for being an idiot over and over again.

Just cause you hate someone, doesn’t mean you can’t work with them to keep things going. Just keep it professional. Experiences from past consistently. Idiots ruin more than they realize until its too late. :roll_eyes:

Er, everyone knows that parentage. It’s not a secret. Do you mean the secret of why they died? Honestly, it was the fault of both kings. Petrus King for not sending the backup he promised. Then our dad for actively ignoring his duty and not reporting the other army.

This is why my MC despises their stupid bs petty squabbles and blames his dad for losing his mom.

Considering Hayden and MC were kids, it’s neither of their fault that the adults are petty. MC wants to change all that by standing by Hayden’s side. He loves and wants to marry them. But even if Hayden were to reject him, he’ll properly stand by the future king’s side.

It’s a good suggestion, although a “pause” or “outbreak” will be and has been brought about in different ways. Can there be some moments involving the ro’s? Definitely yes. Because in some moments it will be possible to let off steam, to be honest, or even to show or not show vulnerability, anger, or something like that.
There will also be a lot of things involving the nobles, the council and the king in the future, because eventually time will pass and the mc/you will get older in the if, and as that happens, there will be more power to act involving politics in Petrus and Darian, like, a lot. I can’t give away too many spoilers, but it will happen, you can also vent a bit in those moments too, and throw in some truths or something like that as well.

And damn, what a chain reaction :rofl::rofl: But don’t worry, you’re forgiven​:wink::grin:

Ps: I’m glad you liked the if, I’m even flattered that my wip was the first one you read and still follow on the forum. Thank you very much :grin: I hope you continue to enjoy the next updates.

It’s about the villagers … they’re still alive, the villagers.But Vul’s mercenaries and soldiers, and anyone who tries to fight, you can choose to kill.

Ps: There will be a trial of Vul and the other nobles if they are still alive, because Eleazar may have interrogated them, but they are still breathing in this case, at least for now…

And how you/mc acted in certain things at those times will be brought back in the future… For reasons I can’t tell you, but they will definitely be brought back. And they will have a direct impact on some reactions and more…

I don’t think most people know about this yet… Spoilers from a tumblr ask, guys, but yes, this will be brought back and can be used. Actually, it’s a coincidence that you asked me that, because I had already written a scene in the future involving this secret :sweat_smile::innocent: but yeah, it could be used in political games.
