The Golden Rose: Book One by Ana Ventura

Anybody else get major Peacekeeper vibes from Alessa? I’ve actually started playing her in for honor since i can actually see Alessa fighting like her

I mean Junko was also going to kill Masami or Masashi as well in book 2. Though, I don’t think Cynthia would’ve killed Beka. Maybe roughed her up a lot. Not that it makes it better by the way lol. I think the fact, that its so hard for me to pinpoint what she would’ve done to Beca for her twisted sense of justice makes her even more interesting to me as a character.

I found Masami annoying, honestly, but I see your point had I been endeared to Masami then I’d probably dislike Junko too. Granted, book 4 would have changed my tune quick! A leash, are you kidding me? Swoon. :joy:

I’m super excited to see what Cynthia’s deal is, nonetheless. Even if you back her up against Beka, I can’t see her letting us go after the whole Aurelius bit. We’ll have to wait patiently to find out. :sob:

Very true, but also remember that we were pretty much forced into that situation. I think it might be possible to talk Cynthia into understanding that it was mainly self defense. Even she understands how her own guards can be incompetent. She was also quite eager to discipline the guard that attacked us unjustly. She will definitely be pissed if she finds out. But I’m still hoping that we can salvage a friendship or bonus points ( a possible romance :heart_eyes:) Either way, I cant wait for book 2.

I can totally picture Alessa being the peacekeeper minus the mask. Love their moves and it will suit Alessa. Thanks for that image, loved the reference :slight_smile:

I’m mad because Peacekeeper players gave me an aneurysm when I played For Honor and Alessa doesn’t deserve that, she’s the best. I don’t care that the comparison totally makes sense, I’m setting out to be unreasonable.

A really good peacekeeper will have me reevaluating my life decisions. But still better than conqueror. Even after the nerf the man is a menace

By the way I have a question for people who may have tried this choice.What happens when we choose to reveal to bekka the meaning of the note. And do we loose points for that with hadrian and gain some with Alessa?

I never had the heart to choose that option and in other playthroughs my cold mc always sided with the guards, so never really got an option to see what the choice leads to. Would love to know what its about!

idk what happens either but I can’t imagine gaining points with Alessa because of it

Beka becomes upset, tearing up, Hadrain frowns at you, and Alessa gives you a hard stare (she’s not that cold hearted), if I remember correctly. I didn’t lose any relationship points with anyone.

Oh thank you so much for the reply. This makes me even more determined to not go down that route.
