SO, just posted last chapters for Stronger in TypeKita one was another 'bad ending💀' the rest, I will continue when I find a new home with a 'kit's choice' or 'choose your next adventure' option :)

Here are some of the characters from the story, featuring the old 'heroes'. Sadly, in the characters below, only Simon and Will were able to show up so far.

The Holy Knight form the past is Emperor Jonas Maralict. The Saintes became his consort, since she was not of noble birth, and politics dictates that an emperor must marry a noble to get their support. I wasn't able to draw Empirical Princess Ann Maralict, who named herself the Grand Meister of the Wizard’s Magic Tower -- because I didn't like this character much 😑 she was obsessed with the young hero, William, and nagged her brother Emperor Jonas to force him to marry her. The Beastman used to be a savage who lived in the southern jungles of the Dark Woods of Elenore. He turns into a Northern Dandy, trying to earn the approval of Princess Ann whom he had a one sided love with for about 3 decades. The thief is the thief. No one really knew who they were or where they went to. They just disappeared after the William defeated the Demon King. And of course, there's William 'Will' the Golden Hero. He was 12 when he started out on his adventure to defeat the demons who were enslaving the rest of the races, and was 17 when their quest ended. What the rest of the world forgot was that there was a 6th companion in their party -- a demon. And that demon is the reason why the thief hid themself, and Will left his role as a grand duke and went into seclusion.

There is still so many things left untold, so many more choices to make in this adventure, and I will write them all soon (hopefully) as soon as I find another platform to host it :)

FYI This kind of story is not your typical one-chapter-after-another story. With a choice, one chapter can have two possible outcomes, and each outcome may lead to several more. This won't pass on ordinary platforms like Dreame, Goodnovel, Novelah, Moboreader, etc., since some chapters may contain the same scenes which are slightly revised according to the readers choices. If it were published in such platforms, suchchapters would be flagged as 'REPEATED COPY/PASTE VIOLATIONS' by their AI checks.

This is why I need to find a similar app with the multiple choice option.

Anyway, I'm looking into AO3 😃 hoping they can host Stronger hoping you can support it in the future :) and thank you in advance! :D

- me

Stronger by Psynoid Al is still in TypeKita until the app closes in Dec. 20, 2023

Not me starting something else when I have another fic I haven't been going attention.

I guess I kinda accidentally made a story put of a scenario I wanted to see. Where a Whumpee willingly takes the drugs and we go through the whole process.

Here's Part 2

@irathgo @luna-rein @smellofsnoww

**********

He felt he had done enough getting to know their new traveling companions, just a bunch of people they met on their way, they would go separate ways soon. He decided to retire to his tent they would continue getting to know each other the next day.

He walked into the tent to find a young man who knelt on one knee infront of him.

"Your highness, prince of life." The young man said head bowed and not making eye contact.

The man was dressed in ordinary clothing so no one knows of that title around here. "Prince of life" was not a title many knew of anywhere near or further. He didn't like the title, being called that sickened him. It seems this young man was sent here and doesn't belong to this land cause such a title was left behind in his past.

"Who are.........." he began to ask, annoyed that he had been found.

"I am the palace herbalist here to retrieve his highness on orders of the reigning emperor." The man answered him before he could finish. The young one was nervous.

He stepped into the tent and lifted the flap leaving enough room for the young man to go through.

"Tell my elder sister you found no one with such standing."

The man looked up at him. He looked unhappy to have to refuse his orders.

"I cannot do that. Prince of life."

He cringed at hearing him say those words again. "I hate that title." He growled at the boy. "Then tell her I refused." He closed the curtain and walked to the boy who had gone down kneeling again.

"She is not taking no for an answer." He said not making eye contact.

Before he could talk back he heard a faint painful cough from the corner. He looked over to see his pupil on the floor, her complexion wasn't healthy and she looked like she was in pain, her eyes were closed and her breathing sounded labored. There were some marks on her arm.

"What is this?" He asked but he didn't need to.

"I think you know what that is." The man replied his voice a little low. He wasn't proud of this either. But at this point the prince was too angry and worried to care about him.

It was true he knew what it was. The reason he was called the prince of life wasn't because he was a saviour but rather because he was a skilled toxicologist.

He didn't like that life, so he became a traveler and healer instead. His student was a woman he met while traveling, she became a close friend, the last thing he wanted was to lose her.

"Am sorry your highness but the emperor has grown tired of your evasion and told me to bring you at any cost." The young man had been watching the prince for a long time and been told of how sly he was and gated he had to come to this conclusion.

The prince didn't pay him much attention just looking down at his student. She probably had some minutes before this was irreversible.

"Elenore needs me that badly." The prince said feeling his anger grow. Why must Bertha be involved?

"There isn't much time I will give your pupil the antidote if you do as I say, your highness."

There really isn't that much time, he's right. The antidote was hard to come by and he didn't have time to find it.

He stood up and turned to the man. Ready to do anything for someone who knew nothing his status of title, or sins.

"Fine. What do you want me to do?"

The boy evaded meeting his gaze. He paid no attention to that. He began to move through his pockets and pulled out a tiny bottle, with a clear liquid in it.

"Firstly take this." The boy said handing it over to him.

He raised his eyebrow a little hesitant of the thing in his hand.

"It's only a precautionary measure." The boy Explained

"Alright." He took the bottle and drank it's content in one go. The he gave it back to the boy. With that the boy gave Bertha the antidote and laid her down on the bed. It should start working soon.

"Please let me say my goodby and see her get better first." The prince turned to the boy, pleading, desperation easy to trace in his voice.

"As you wish." The boy felt ashamed and embarrassed.

The prince sat next to Bertha she was getting better it will take a while for her to fully recover but he just needed to know she was out of danger.

After some time the marks disappeared, he breathed easily now. That's all he needed.

Now he just had to say goodbye. Before he couldn't.

He was growing tired very slightly his accelerated heartbeat before made it spread but even it was relaxing.

He stood from his student to his writing table. He was dizzy a bit but shook it off then began to write his farewell letter.

**********

After some time he was done. It shouldn't have taken him so long to write a letter but he began to feel fainter with each passing moment. He tried hard to shake himself awake and hold on to consciousness. Just to write something short and simple. It began to get harder to get his thoughts in order but he was done now. All that's left is to give it to her.

He stood up swaying and nearly falling but the boy caught him, he forgot about him.

"Be careful I'll help you from now on." The boy said holding him up. He didn't say anything and just nodded and let him lead him to her bedside. She still hadn't woken up.

He placed the letter by her pillow. Then raised himself to a world that was spinning violently. He fell backwards but the boy caught him again. He tried to look at him but his image couldn't form instead everything twisted into unfamiliarity. His eyes grew heavy and were hard to keep open.

"Hate this." The prince said his words slurring slightly. He couldn't focus on the boy or anything. It became hard to focus on his thoughts as well, as the broke away before he could complete even something simple.

What was the boy saying?................. Oh it's time to go .................. To?' he couldn't remember nor speak his tongue grew too heavy. He just nodded slightly.

He was quite thankful that the boy could hold him up his legs growing harder to use as the boy led him out the tent.

***********

The boy noticed the drug working on the prince. Catching him as he nearly fell and leading him to his student and then catching him again.

The prince was growing less aware of things. Barely able to focus or Keep his eyes open. The blue hue in them growing dull.

"Let's go your highness." The boy said to the prince it took the prince some seconds to answer, his half closed eyes trying to find the boy, when he did, he nodded slightly in approval.

The boy placed the prince's arm over his shoulder and began to lead him out of the tent. The prince began to lean on his body more and more as his legs grew weaker.

After a while he couldn't hold his head up and looked down at the ground looking at nothing.

When his legs gave out even more the boy handed him over to another man from the group he travelled with. Their meeting wasn't a coincidence. But the prince's mind wasn't alert enough to notice.

The man took the prince, carried him in his arms and led him to the carriage. The prince eyes gave out slowly like a dying flame. He struggled to keep them open trying was futile and it showed.

Then the closed and his head fell to the side, his body falling limp in the man's arms.

The man laid him in a carriage. Setting him inside with the boy and him. The prince was fully unconscious, his body limp as the man placed his head on his lap.

'Your hair really is like flowing moonlight.' The boy thought looking at the prince's long white hair. People called him the angel of death because of it.

"The Golden Guard takes care of Empror's castle so it all can go with plan

Lives in the dream"

"Goes on the missions bringing all the bounties in

Who is it for"

"Emperor Belos

Carrying out the Titan's will so everyone can see

Look at him working

Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there

Why does he care?"

"Hunter Wittbane died in the castle and was buried along with his name

Nobody cared

Emperor Belos wiping the blood from his hands as he walks from the grave

No one was saved"

Rask×Rozaria on a trip in the human world ( A beautiful day ) with the prompt "If it's only partial paralysis we should be fine." .

Characters: Erga Kenesis di Raskreia, Rozaria Elenor

Pairing: RozaRask

Ayakashi AU

There she was, sitting in a rundown room in one of the abandoned cold palaces. Bright red hair braided up into an intricate design, she continued to apply the white powder onto her skin. No matter what she did there was still a blue tinge showing from underneath it all. It was a painful scene to watch. Every single minute of her time, every care she was capable of, went into perfecting her looks.

Raskreia sighed, unable to look on any longer- "Rozaria. Do you have time right now?"

Of course the woman did. A dead woman turned spirit like her had all the time in the world. Especially when a goddess was the one asking.

Rozaria smiled brightly upon seeing her, visible even through the layers caked upon her face- "Of course, your highness."

She stood to curtsy but Raskreia took her hand, pressing a kiss to it- "Would you walk with me? It's a beautiful day."

"I'd love to."

Clinging to her arm, Rozaria walked alongside her. It had taken a long time for them to have come to this. Now Raskreia just had to convince her to move into her quarters. Then she could propose.

As they made their way to the gardens, Raskreia attempted conversation but it was a difficult endeavour. Rozaria simply hummed and nodded to most things, obviously lost in some other world. It was expected considering how she had died to become this sort of spirit.

She didn't give up though, and only stopped speaking to address the jorogumo coming their way- "Milady, it is a pleasure to see you again."

The spider woman laughed, her singular eye gleaming, and she patted Raskreia heavily on the back as she hugged her. They spoke for a bit, Rozaria staring off into the distance blankly the entire time, until the woman meandered off. With a sigh, Raskreia continued their garden stroll.

At least she tried to.

Her legs seemed to be frozen and so Rozaria glanced to her- "Is something wrong?"

"Milady must have accidentally pricked me," she said, frowning.

"Oh? Well, if it's only partial paralysis we should be fine."

"Why would it be fi-" Raskreia was cut off by Rozaria picking her up.

A bright red coloured her cheeks and she was stunned momentarily. The shock of the action was so great that even her hearing stopped for a bit. The next thing she heard was-

"-the lilypads right? I'll take you there!"

Rozaria set off in a different direction from where they'd been heading, and Raskreia still couldn't bring herself to speak. It was... fun, though. She enjoyed this despite how embarrassing it was, and so she rested her head on Rozaria's shoulder, smiling.

Did Napoleon have an illegitimate children? I remember reading somewhere that he had an illegitimate son that had children. Is this true?

Oh yes he did.

Here’s a brief summery of them:

1. Count Leon--He is the son of Elenore Denuelle who is mentioned being a person in the household of Caroline, Napoleon’s sister. Caroline played match-maker in order to try to prove Napoleon was able to father children and to get Josephine out of the way. This wasn’t some grand love affair, more like an experiment to see if she could get pregnant.. She did. There has been some speculation that the child could have been Murat’s as apparently he was also “seeing” her. However, Napoleon accepted the child as his own, made him a count and it’s said that as he grew he resembled Napoleon. He turned out to be a bit of a scoundrel, had a huge gambling problem and would pester his cousin, Napoleon III, for payment of his debts and other things. 

2. Alexandre Walewski--He is the son of Napoleon’s love affair with Marie Walewska, nicknamed Napoleon’s “Polish Wife”. They met during Napoleon’s campaign through Poland, she started out as a patriot who had a bit of hero worship of Napoleon and was begging him to help free Poland. Napoleon made promises to that he never followed through on. He immediately wanted her for his mistress, she balked because she was already married to Count Walweski who was several decades older than her (she was 18 and he was maybe in his 60s pushing 70s). They also had a son together AND she was also Catholic. However, Napoleon pursued her, conquered her, and she seemed to fall genuinely in love with him. She followed him around and was eventually installed in Napoleon’s and Josephine’s first home in Paris. Count Walweski accepted the son as his own, he knew of the affair and seems to have even given it his blessing. Alexandre grew up in Poland in the Walewski family. Marie married a distant cousin of the Bonapartes, a man named Ornano and died before Napoleon after giving birth to her third son from kidney failure. Alexandre would join Napoleon III’s cabinet as a minister of foreign affairs and later minister of state. Ironically, he was friendly with Wellington and walked in his funeral representing France. He did resemble his father, was said to have Napoleon’s voice and never really seemed to care about his father’s “greatness”. A famous anecdote says that one woman stopped him at a reception and said “I knew your father, he was a great man!” And Alexandre replied “Oh, I did not know that you were acquainted with the late Count Walewski.” He had several different orders and was created a duke.  He married twice, first to the daughter of the English Earl of Sandwich who died, later to Mlle. Ricci who also apparently was a mistress to Napoleon III.

3. Madame Pellapra (?) This woman claimed to be the daughter of Napoleon and there are historians who both acknowledge that she is and other’s that don’t seem to think the claim is legit.

4. Napoleone Montholon: There is some strong evidence that Napoleon took Montholon’s wife, Albine, as mistress on Saint Helena. She did become pregnant on the island and had a daughter whom she named Napoleone.

There of course could be others that went unrecorded.

Here is a link to a post I did on the Walewski branch of Napoleon’s decendants.

5 HCs based on this title game you did? (642220866406645760/heartbeat-for-a-the-owl-house-fic-and-if-youre)

5 AU facts

ooooooohhhhhhhhhh o3o This is way more interesting now that we have Hunter

Prisoner Princess Luz

TW for minor body horror

1) Belos needed a way to restrain her, so one of his first 'Gift's to 'the New princess' was a 'decorative' gorget and gauntlets that it was 'requested' (re: Threatened) she wear for her first audience with The Emperor. She'd put them on bc it was either that or loose the hand she was flipping them off with and now can't go about ten yards outside the palace or remove them without being... ahem- 'disciplined'

2) Hunter's first interaction with Luz is being asked to retrieve her from one of her escape attempts. He finds her approximately ten yards away from the outer limits of her 'disciplinary measures' collapsed and twitching in agony, but when he goes to drag her onto his staff she still weakly swipes at him and snaps her teeth. voice quiet with pain she insists that she has to go back, has to go home. He watches as despite the pain in her every cell she still tries to escape, turning onto her stomach and trying to drag herself away from him.

3) At first Hunter isn't sure if he should Pity Luz or be jealous of her. She gets a lot of positive attention from his uncle, and she squanders it with her moodiness and anger. but she also is DESPARATE to return to wherever she was taken from. When she's not writhing in pain from the gorget and gauntlets she speaks exclusively in a language he doesn't understand. and on some level, he can respect the dedication she's putting into this. One time he was sent to bring her her dinner because Belos thought a fellow teen may put her at ease, and overheard her pacing and muttering to herself in mounting panic. When he opened the door she was cool as a cucumber. He decides he pities her, but he also respects her.

4) Luz was banned from using writing utensils early in, as to avoid allowing her access to glyphs, but as the desperation sets in so too does Luz's problem solving. for comedy beats that means she's trying to make fire glyphs out of gryphon eggs, for horror beats that means she's biting into her fingers until she bleeds enough to shakily trace a light glyph into the wall.

5) Belos has been instructing everyone to call her something different, some new name to reflect her new 'royal' identity. Probably something that also means 'Light' like Phoebe or Elenore, (something very much a white girl name too) promising that when she swears her loyalty to him he'll upgrade that to 'Princess Phoebe' Luz swears at him in spanish until she's dragged back to her room

Ah, I missed it the first time!

Episode 427: when Rael (or an illusion of him?) is struck, that’s not chaotic/shattered dark energy, that’s (still energy, not biological) bats.

Current list -  Kertia: bat Landegre: unicorn Ru: tiger Agvain: hydra Siriana: Asian dragon Loyard: grim reaper Elenor: witch (or Best Ghroth Gijinka) Kravei: Cetus/Leviathan (which Ignes disregards to summon a snake bc it’s all about her) Noblesse: phoenix

Unconfirmed (unless I’m failing to remember/notice something confirming): Drosia: snake (cobra? Wadjet/Apep/naga) Bluster: cupid (this is basically confirmed I mean come on) Tradio: Tree. Or nymph/dryad, but they’re tree gods. Gradeus: Bull (on the axe). So Taurus/minotaur (grendel/wendigo/oni too possibly...) Mergas: Athena (in addition to the shield, Ludis is shown reading and is the one who knows legal precedent) Lord: European dragon (dragon and phoenix for emperor/empress is a Chinese thing, and Ragnarok is very Excalibur when the dragon is associated with that kind of knightly thing. Also this makes young Raskreia the dragon’s princess, which is amusing given her father)

Part 8

Part 7 Part 9

Elenore sat down with her brother in his bedroom. He wanted answers.

"Elenore what are you really doing?" He demanded as she settled herself. His eyes were watching her the moment she walked in.

"I can't tell you that." She answered settling in the seat. There things he should itn't know for his safety.

"Elenore Philip almost got hurt." He was furious and was trying to keep his voice low but he almost yelled.

He took a step back and took a deep breath.

"I know I'll be more careful next time."

"Also I thought I was the only one toxicologist and he is only my assistant."

"You don't understand!" Honestly all this was frustrating her too. She didn't want this.

He saw how hard this was for his sister. What is she doing exactly?

"Then tell me whats going on." He said his voice a little softer. If he knew they could work this out together.

"I can't."

"Then I'll stop." He threatened.

"Then I'll kill her." She bite back.

There was a determination in her he knew she wasn't backing down. He stared at his sister He couldn't say anything. His mind went back to the previous Empress they did what ever they wanted and Elenore had that power she could use it.

After a few moments of staring at her brothers horrified expression she stood up to leave, wiping her tears as she turned around.

" This isn't for me alone or anyone other than the people I have responsibility over and I will do anything to ensure they live safe lives free from persecution." She stated.

Elenore stood up.

"I'll let you go but please stop pushing this I also want you to live a free life and I don't want you to look back"

Those were her parting words as she walked to the door.

**********

After Elenore left he had another panic attack.

Sinking down to the floor clutching his heart. As breathing became so hard. He felt like a fish out of water gasping for a bit of air.

He was weak after it subsided but he didn't waste anytime he walked to the workshop and began his work.

He cant stand it here and he'll leave as first as he can.

He cancelled his classes with Philip and worked day and night untill he was closer to his goal. Using the plant he and Philip found he was so close to making something so deadly it made him sick thinking about it.

He'll destroy this as soon as this whatever this is, is over.

*********

Philip hadn't seen William in weeks. Whenever he would come by William would send him away and just hand over his workbook.

He grew a bit worried after hearing the young royal hadn't been out for a while now.

It not uncommon for him to lock himself up but Philip felt worried this particular time. He made his way to Williams workstation.

He knocked but got no answer. He did it again and nothing.

Philip knocked a few more times until he decided to enter in the end. Luckily the door was open.

"Sir I'm sorry to bother you." Philip said popping his head through the door.

Philip looked at William's desk and found no one. His eyes wondered to the floor, where he saw him. William was laying on the floor, not moving.

Philip rushed over to his teacher. Turning him over to reveal a pale face and hair wet from sweat. The Prince's breathing was labored and his eyes closed.

"Sir!! Sir!!" Philip called out but only got a groan and barely open eyes that closed shortly after.

He touched the prince's forehead. It was burning.

"You have a fever." He cursed.

He partly felt guilty for the state the prince's in.

********

Right after the prince was taken to his room to rest. Someone came to let Elenore know about her brother.

"How is he?" She asked the man infront of her. He was a another physician in the castle.

"He seems to have gotten sick working on his project but the good news is he is nearly finished." The man replied. After William was taken away he checked in on his progress.

"He'll continue after he gets Better." She said not looking at the man. She sounded serious but was very worried for her brother. Not even caring about the poison part .

She waved him away.

"Yes your highness." He bowed and left her office.

*******

Elenore went into his room that evening after she finished her work. She counted the hours till she could go see how he was.

He was sleeping. Some parts of his white hair was wet and covering parts of his face. His checks were red and flushed, he didn't look comfortable, shivering in his blankets.

There was a towel on his forehead to cool him down.

She lifted him slightly and tied his hair back to make sure it doesn't get in his face.

After a while of seating with him. He started mumbling something in his sleep.

"I don't want to.............. I'm sorry.......... forgive me........... Monster." He sounded scared and sad. He was gasping terrified of whatever was in his mind . This broke her heart. How many times does this happen.

"Hush silver cub you're not a monster." She soothed him. That term was always so calming to him.

"Forgive me............ I'm sorry." He cried.

"It's okay silver cub. You're a good man." She moved closer and stroked the little loose strands of hair.

He fell silent after that his face looking more relaxed.

She removed the towel and soaked again. Then placed it back on his fore head.

She saw his eyes open slightly, he mumbled something. she moved closer to hear his request.

"Thirsty." He mumbled.

She lifted his head up and put a glass to his lips. "Here you go."He gulped the water like he hasn't had any in a while.

After he drank as much as he could she lowered him back down. His eyes fluttered closed again.

"Get some rest now."

She played with his white hair some more.

*********

"Empress?" Fae said behind her. They were holding medical supplies for William.

Elenore turned around to greet her. "Yes Fae."

Fae saw how exhausted she looked. They didn't want to take care of two royals.

They placed the tray down and moved closer to Elenore. They touched her shoulders.

"I'll take care of him." They said looking directly at Elenore's tired eyes. Elenore got the message.

"That would be best. Thank you." She smiled tiredly and left. She'll see her brother tomorrow. She kissed his forehead and left.

********

The next morning while Fae wasn't there William had gotten out of bed and refused to get back in. He wasn't fully aware. His fever still burned.

"Sir come on, let's get back to bed." Fae pleaded but it was hard to push him back.

"I......... I want to.......... to go........ to the garden." He slurred in his speech.

"No sir you need to rest." Fae pleaded some more. But his body still resisted.

"Elenore said she's waiting for me." He said. He almost looked sad like he really missed his sister.

"No sir, she'll come later." Fae pleaded once more. He could barely stay up and was leaning on Fae's shoulder.

The door opened and his face lit up a bit. The Empress walked in.

"Elenore." He rejoiced. His voice was so rough from the night coughing.

He escaped Fae and stumbled to his sister.

"William. What are......." she paused as he hugged her. This was like when they were younger.

"I missed you." He mumbled. His head rested on her shoulders. But then his legs gave out and he leaned on her as his body slumped down. She was shocked but caught him before he could fall. Sadly his body is still burning up.

"I'm sorry Empress, it seemed like he got out of bed." Fae apologized. Who knew a sick person could be so stubborn.

"That's fine I'll take him back." She understands her brother. He is difficult when sick and stubborn. She was happy he remembered the garden. She was usually busy with class. She didn't always get to see him and play when they were younger but when she had time they met in the garden and he would talk about all the different plants he knew.

Her and Fae placed him back in bed and Elenore stayed as Fae took care of him.

If you're still doing the "heavenly words ask" then may I ask, balter, lacuna, ludic and nubivagant

I Am, SOOO SORRY. Apparently the mobile app is too good to tell me I HAD AN ASK.

Balter- My favorite kind of happy is when I think of the good things in life. Like the people I know, or when a new episode of something I love is released.

Lacuna- Yes, besides my dad, my best friend helped me get over many things and has always been there for me. Without her I doubt Id be who I am right now

Ludic- Emperors new clothes, Elenore, and Toxic I guess?

Nubivagant- Right now I'm thinking of what I should draw. And I should probably stop eating all this candy 

[mevekagvain]

Chapter 189 - I still have no clue why the lords' sanctuary is used as a grave like okay yeah I do it's mostly symbolic and to grieve but I still think it doesn't make sense. All the other uses? Yeah cool. Grave? Nah, not when purebloods dissipate into red mist when they die. Extremely funny imagining mvp lord picking out a fancy coffin full well knowing he won't leave a corpse though like okay king <3 and I haven't even started on those damn stairs.

- Everytime Rael's being cringe I flash through renditions of memes that cover the general energy of habitual suffering that is simultaneously willing yet forced.

- Tbh as someone who doesn't particularly believe in the whole concept of honourable fighting unless it's sports or agreed upon beforehand by all parties and because they're going against what they perceive as traitors or invaders... Rajak shouldn't be scolding Rael for trying to get rid of the trio.

Chapter 190 - Here they know the traiters were behind the Loyard massacre but later Seira doesn't even think that Zarga may have played a part until he said it himself so what's the truth.

- Really, Rousare having died should make it obvious that Gejutel wasn't involved and prevent all this. At least Ludis has some sense.

- Ah, time for grandpa's trashtalk.

Chapter 191 - It always drives me insane that Raskreia knows jack shit about Frankenstein and Raizel like she really did not give a fuck about them did she lmao? Oh father has sent clan leaders out on an arrest warrant? Oh father asks me to regularly visit this random stranger who he adores often and wishes for him to be lord? Why would I ever wish to learn more about them? Like queen ily but keep track of important events in Lukedonia even before you're lord please.

- I know Gejutel's just bullshitting but like. The traitors having foresight? Sjjsjsis where? Lagus and Roctis yeah sure I get it. But the rest? Ignes literally experimented on ppl in Lukedonia. Urokai, as much as I love him, is definitely the stupid dumbass of the group. Zarga if he had any foresight would have either just stayed on Lukedonia and chilled as a loner or had a heir who he passed Lontrick on to and left Lukedonia to once again chill as a loner since unlike the others he only disagreed with the new ideals rather than wanting to actively murder someone. As for Gradeus... we know he can use his brain but he really turned it off entirely when deciding to install bloodstones huh? Like if all you want to do is fight than becoming that strong even when you're already the strongest around is not gonna be enjoyable. Well then he went cuckoo so whtever. Ofc I do wonder whether his goal went from enjoying fighting to mere murder before or after he was exposed to bloodstones and the same for him massacring his clan since the options have implications.

- And here we are at the "clan leaders should go into eternal sleep with the lord" bullshit. Like sorry but just cos the good guys are the ones spouting it doesn't mean I'll ever agree with it. Like tf. It makes me think immediately of rulers who had their servants buried alive with them, emperors whose harems were killed upon their deaths, wives set fire upon their husbands funerals, etc. It is interesting ofc that even nobles who are very obviously written as the best race in noblesse have such regressive and cruel practices. Much more fascinating to have humans take inspiration from them for both good and bad after all.

- Grandpa really tried to be mean so Raskreia wouldn't feel bad executing him huh. Not that it worked ofc.

Chapter 192 - It's so funny that Raizel changes his clothes to Lukedonia's black and gold upon entering because like, did he feel like the odd one out or something?

- Darling clan leaders, I'll excuse your ignorance and underestimation of the enemy, but esteemed lord please, you should know better.

- Hilarious that Gejutel saw that the current gen had extremely spotty knowledge due to their predecessors being like that ig but instead of fixing that he essentially went "It's none of my business idc idc" and ignored it until it came back to bite him in the ass. Like at least tell the lord about all this pls. She should know what a noblesse is 😭

Chapter 193 - Rip Karias not finding everyone in the throne room. It's like when a class gets changed last minute and you have no clue which new place it's in.

- Raizel just take the earring off normally I swear. Imagine having only one memento from a friend you actually meant to keep but you just tear it apart. I would cry.

- Gejutel being apologetic about making Raizel use his lifeforce... grandpa,,,

Chapter 194 - The fact that Ludis' eyes glow as he sets up the protection for the sanctuary,,, love him.

- Insert 300 page analysis on Raskreia's relationship with being lord and just her in general here. I'm too lazy to type it out so insecurities, lack of communication, lack of clarity, formality and duty leading to distant relationships, etc etc etc.

Chapter 195 - This is so rude 😤

- God Karias' entrance and interactions with everyone,,, the way he fusses over Raskreia openly, the way Rozaria beckons him over, them,,,

Chaoter 196 - "The clan leaders share my thoughts" obviously not with the traitors. Well Roctis may have agreed but Ignes prevented him from all that. Still, even from the other 4 non traitors of Ru, Elenor, Loyard and Mergas, it's very much possible they disagreed but simply kept quiet about their thoughts because how dare they go against the lord? I mean, the track record isn't exactly great and that's just how it is in these sort of systems.

- Well I definitely think the method he decided on was stupid but I do think mvp lord's sentiment was very sweet. And ofc just how he wants the best for Raizel... it makes me sad everytime like he just wants him to be happy and be able to enjoy life and yet. Just how his message always has him with that soft smile for Raizel as he tells him to live a long joyous life... that he wants him to be safe... that he's happy he's been outlived... gonna go cry brb..

Chapter 197 - Yeah just gonna ignore and replace the misogynistic bs they make mvp lord spout with like "Be wary of men; instead of wasting time beating them up see if you have any interest in women instead. Especially if they're not nobles. Only wear what you're comfortable with and don't let anyone pressure you. Remember to train often with swords or your skills will become rusty. Etc etc etc."

Chapter 198 - At least he has earring number 2 ig

- "This house is a little old and needs some renovation" It's great that you're being tactful but Tao we both know that this estate that hasn't had any upkeep for at least 5 centuries needs a hell lot more than a little fixing.

- M-21 just has his priorities straight okay,,, you all do need to change.

- Why did Tao pack aprons and gloves for the trip?

I suspect it’s an Emperor’s New Clothes situation where people just assume that they’re this great and influential band because their music is spammed everywhere and nobody is willing to actually criticise their mediocre songs due to this. The Beatles are the ultimate example of ‘it’s popular therefore it’s good’.

Yesterday took it to the point of absurdity with Jack constantly rubbing his dick over how empty the universe is without muh elenor rigby.

I envy the people in that movie that forgot about the Beatles

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats trying to impeach Trump over 'thought cri...

COMMENTARY: 

Nicky Krystals @Tom Wilson What materials did he accept to get elected?

It doesn't matter. Treason is working so well for Donny the Duckass that Giuliani is in the Ukraine to make sure it continues to happen.

I mean, even Matt Goetz is puzzled by Giuiliani's mission. All the people he's dealing with are connected at some point to the joint venture that staged the Miss Universe Pageant and the relationship between the Russian Kleptocracy connected with Miss Universe and Donny the Duckass is the source to the treason.

Putin has nothing to with it or with Hunter Biden or with Giuiliani's drug deal.  The  Russian Kleptocracy are the elements of the former Soviet Union that sent the tanks to crush democracy that Yeltsin faced down. Putin is Yeltsin's constitutional successor.

And the Mueller Report confirms that Putin and Donny the Duckass did not colluded because the Kremlin never took the lie, cheat, and steal "Art of the Deal" crime family business model of Donny Duckass seriously.  Part 2 of the Mueller Report is all about the other business associations the Trump organization maintain in Moscow and the Ukraine, thanks to Paul Manafort.

For a private citizen, these associations may be criminal, but they aren't treason. As a federal officer, they don't have to be criminal to be treason.

For Trump, it never occured to him: it was all business as usual. Consider the Stephanopoulos Oval Office interview: "Sure, I'd take the call. It's just information". If treason is part of your business model, all phone calls are "perfect".

This is why there is an Emoluments Clause: to definitively establish the boundaries between private business and public service. Cincinnattus wrote his will and essentially put his estate into  probate both times he was called to serve as Emperor. This was the standard Washington established, the way he conducted himself as Commanding General, Continetal Armies. I don't know what FDR did with the family fortune, but he didn't manage it and generally employed it to meet his personal needs and operational mobility for Elenore. The Bush and Kennedy families understood the separation between a personal estate and public service.

Donny the Duckass is running America like it's a Goodfellows restaurant or like Eddie Lambert is running Sears and Frank Lorenzo ran Eastern Airlines: he and the GOP Shadow Agenda Giuliani exposed with his "drug deal" are committing to looting the American middle class and the public treasury in the name of Supply Side economics and "dismantling the administration state" like John Galt does in Atlas Shrugged.

"The Art of the Deal" is just a fancy code word for treason as a business model.
