I fully expect Javi to pull a “do you really love me or are you just with me for the politics??” when he and the MC start getting really serious.
Being as cynical as he’s rumored to be I don’t see him accepting easily that a political match can also be a love match. Because doesn’t that stuff only happen in romance novels?
I agree, this might end up to be the “angsty” part of this route. If MC and Javi end up having feelings for each other sooner then he will be ready to fully trust that it’s not just some political scheme. Actually this could be a problem for the MC too (depends on personality/opinion on marriage ofc).
Yeah this could be angsty for all types of MC. Like a cynical/manipulative MC who up to that point was persuing Javi for the political clout could have a emotional crisis when they realise that yes, they’re developing very real feelings they didn’t expect to have.
While a happy do lucky Dominique-esque MC who’s wooing Javi because they like him could be hurt by the fact that Javi thinks that MC’s feelings for him aren’t geniue.
I would hope theres an option to be “I understand why you would think that, but no my feelings are genuine” or something. Just to avoid unnecessary angst since my MC would see it as perfectly valid thought from Javi considering everything that’s happened.
Well either 1. Queen mother has absolute faith that they wouldn’t crash or 2. Queen mother had some faith that they would crash. A third and probably more likely is that it might’ve been a last minute thing.
I admit I was never quite interested in the premise of Crème de la Crème until today. It was because I enjoyed this demo for Royal Affairs so much, that it had me intrigued about what exactly happened in the last game.
So I took a dive, played through Crème de la Crème, and to my surprise-- absolutely LOVED it! I feel caught up with everyone else in the thread now with a Zaledoan Princess-Consort of my own. (Gavrielle Xiahou: a kind friend and very intelligent, double-crossed Lady Renaldt and got her arrested, attended Gessner University during her engagement to Rosario, family ethnicity is from whatever this world’s version of China is)
Asher isn’t an amateur, they’re just overthinking it!
Correct, they mostly have little biplanes like the one the MC travels on.
Yep it’s a showing off status thing! [Fun fact, a dear friend of mine went to a ridiculous posh school and one of the students would arrive by helicopter which totally blows my mind…]
I actually do hope the Crème!MC is doing alright if they ended up with Rosario. Marrying into royalty? That’s a lot of pressure. Just look at Princess Diana, or even Meghan Markle today.
Hopefully Javi’s discourtesy towards Crème!MC isn’t indicative of the general attitude they face (whether it be from the public, or the rest of the Zaledoan royals).
@HarrisPS, dumb question: will we able to choose further details and characteristics of the MC’s horse/canine friend?
Also, may I ask what are both the Wild horse and the Gallatin mountain dog based on?
So fun! Gavrielle seems pretty similar to my own Princess-Consort, even down to the ethnic background! Here’s to hoping everything turns out well for the both of them
You’ll see more about that later in the game! And I’m so excited that Royal Affairs piqued your interest for Crème de la Crème, that’s awesome!
You’ll get to influence its temperament and training through the game. I didn’t want to go into too much detail about colours and that sort of thing because I figured I wouldn’t be able to cover all the possibilities!
The wild horse makes me think of the Camargue horses in France, or possibly mustangs in the US. The Gallatin mountain dog is very like a Pyrenean Mountain Dog or a St Bernard! It’s surprisingly hard to find dog breeds that aren’t based on real world people or places so I made one up
Will the breed itself that the player choose have some sort of influence though? Like the Thoroughbred being the fastest of them in a race, the draft horse being the more courageous one while the Wild horse being the most rugged of the options?
Not irritating at all! when it comes to training or performance, they’ll have strengths and weaknesses so yep the draft horse is more calm and has more stamina but not as much speed.
I absolutely love the relationship dynamic that we can have with Asher at the demo! My aro princess developed a deep, non-romantic attachment to them and she would never let a single scratch landed on them (as of now) !
Because of that, I’m wondering if our PC can eventually formed a queerplatonic relationship with Asher or any of the character? I hope we can, but i understand if it’s not possible~
