I just read the demo for the first time, and I loved it. I only played the goddesses path, and it was really enjoyable. I hope you write more for her soon

@natwa Thank you for playing and for the feedback. I see what you are talking about and will keep your suggestion in mind. This is a work in progress and things might change in the future, certain elements may be removed or added. So, while I cannot promise anything, I’ll certainly consider it.

@Anna_B Thank you for taking the time to read. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I am working on Rhapsody as we speak.

I thought i was the only one lol. Which is why i don’t play the female path at all, because i don’t want to ruin my immersion for my male MC–which is starkly different than the one with Canon–personality and appearance wise.

The again, do what you want, Thomas. It is YOUR story after all.

Also does romancing faye has any negative impact to your relationship with Calix at all? You know since he has crush to her and all that.

I understand where you guys are coming from, but customizing the RO’s personality is simply beyond my coding capability at this point. Also, I know it’s counterproductive for me to ask my readers to read less of my game, but if the issue is immersion breaking, maybe you can either consider them to be alternate versions of the same story a la Multiverse, or read only one path. At least until a more permanent solution is found.

And yes, initially Calix will be pissed if you romance Faye, but he will come around. After all, their bromance (or romance depending on your choice) is a important part of the story. I honestly want to explore their friendship.

Love Letters: Part 1

A series of “notes” exchanged between the Prince and Claire. For the purpose of convenience, the Prince’s name is Alexius. Don’t worry about canon, this is just a fun tangent.

Note 1:

Lt. Claire Vailant,

Lucius suggests I should thank you for your assistance the other night. It has also come to my attention that you have agreed to be my bodyguard despite believing that I am a “pompous, spoilt, brat” (something you made abundantly clear at the meeting).

With due respect, I would like to point out that I was caught off-guard. I mean, do you really think I can’t take on a wannabee assassin with a gun? Hilarious!

Suffice to say, I don’t need your protection. However, in my magnanimity, I have agreed to let you do your job. It’ll probably be a valuable experience for a new officer like you.

As the Crown Prince of Ascailes, it is my solemn duty to treat all my staff with respect and kindness. So, I would like to formally extend my hand as a gesture of peace.

Please understand that there is no trickery afoot, and this is not a ploy to make you lower your guard. I think we are both at fault for our recent offenses. Therefore, I would like to bury the hatchet and make your work easy and pleasant.

Signed,

Crown Prince Alexius Valerian Aeternus

Note 2:

Prince Alexius,

You presume too much. I am not so easily mollified by flashy calligraphy and pretty words. These “offenses” involve you questioning my ability and dedication to my duty and country.

I have agreed to guard your pompous, lazy ass only because the order comes from His Majesty. As for your offer to make my time with you pleasant and easy, let me tell you that you have sorely misjudged the situation. Don’t bother me again, and I promise not to make your time with me unpleasant.

Lt. Vailant

PS: Question my integrity again, and I’ll knock your ass off that high horse you so proudly sit on.

Note 3:

Lt Claire Vaillant,

I understand why you might have misconstrued my statement. I wasn’t questioning your integrity or your ability to protect me. I was questioning why I needed protection from someone like you in the first place.

I hope that clarifies my objection to your appointment as my protector and clears the air between us.

Signed,

Prince Alexius Valerian Aeternus

Note 4:

Prince Alexius,

Someone like me?

I will ignore that insult as long as you stop sending me these notes. Let me be very clear. I don’t need your gestures of peace. I am here to do a job. That’s it!

You keep out of my way, and I’ll keep out of yours.

Lt Vailant

Note 5:

Lt Vailant,

I am sorry for what happened at the meeting. I didn’t mean to bump into you like that. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a while.

Prince Alexius

PS: Would it kill you to smile once in a while?

Note 6:

Prince Alexius,

There’s no need to apologize. It’s part of the job. However, I will reiterate that you stop sending these notes. I don’t care what you think.

Lt Vailant

PS: Would it kill you to stay awake once in a while?

Note 7:

Lt Vailant,

If you don’t like the notes, you can stop replying.

Prince Alexius

PS: I wasn’t sleeping. I was meditating on the issues being discussed.

Note 8:

Lt Vailant,

I am sorry for giving you the slip and running away to the city. It was Calix’s idea. No, it was Hope’s idea. Now that I think about it, I think it was Edmund’s idea. He is the strategist after all.

I am blabbering. I’ll stop. Once again, sorry.

Alexius

Note 9:

Lt Vailant,

You were very impressive at the shooting range today. Now I see why you have won so many gold medals at the corps.

Alexius

PS: It was hilarious seeing the nobles bluster as they kept losing to a woman.

Note 10:

Lt Vailant

Sorry for the second note. I just want to clarify what I meant by the postscript in my last note. When I said “losing to a woman”, it wasn’t my view on a woman’s ability to wield a gun. I was only conveying their reactions. “Their” meaning the nobles.

This isn’t my best note. Sorry.

Alexius

Note 11:

Lt Valiant,

Since you have stopped replying, I think it’s fair to assume that you have accepted defeat, and I have won. Although I wasn’t raised to gloat over my vanquished foes, I must admit it feels good to beat you.

Alexius

Note 12:

Lt Vailant,

It has come to my notice that you are down with a cold. I am sorry, and I hope you feel better soon. Mom used to give me lavender-infused, honey and garlic tea whenever I came down with a cold. I am sending some over.

Get well soon.

Alexius

Note 13:

Prince Alexius,

Thank you for the tea. The Empress’ remedy works wonders. I feel a lot better. Although, you didn’t have to send a doctor along.

At this rate, I’ll be back to work soon.

Lt Vailant

Note 14:

Lt Vailant,

I am glad to hear it. To be honest, I miss you at the council. I mean, I don’t personally miss you. I just miss your input. I mean—

Okay, I’ll shut up.

Alexius

PS: How are you feeling?

Note 15:

Prince Alexius,

I understand what you mean. Those meetings are such a snooze. I am surprised you can sit through them every week. I couldn’t.

Claire

PS: I am as good as new. Thanks again for the tea.

No, in fact, I found her a little annoying. But this is the first impression, maybe I just need to know her better and I will change my opinion later.

@Cingulum_diaboli Is it because of the part where she tells you about her sister? :sweat_smile:
