SSR Lilia Vanrouge - General's Armor Voice Lines

General Lilia does not have a vignette

When Summoned: I am General Lilia Vanrouge of the Land of Briar. Whosoever may feel determined enough, come at me!

Summon Line: The Land of Briar is a place under the dominion of us creatures of the night. If you don't want to find yourself in a sticky situation, you better lay low, human.

Groooovy!!: Call me anything you wish. That is, anything other than "old man."

Home: Time to go to work.

Swap Looks: We're off, men.

Home Idle 1: I was an orphan and Maleficia-sama took me in under her care. She's so nice? Not one bit! If she snaps, she'll strike you down with her lightening.

Home Idle 2: I will protect the Land of Briar. That is my sworn duty. That was Raverne's... my late dearest friend's request of me.

Home Idle 3: Silver and Sebek's movements are strangely familiar. Who could possibly have been their instructor?

Home Idle - Login: I can't say I'm that interested in having the title of General, but... I would not be able to stand to work for someone weaker than myself. As I've taken on this role, I'll fulfill the duty that comes with it.

Home Idle - Groovy: It would be nice if the next successor to the throne would be more mild mannered... But no, that would be too much to ask of one of the Draconia bloodline.

Home Tap 1: Who'd ever go to Night Raven College? What could these barely born chicks even hope to teach me?

Home Tap 2: I can't stand these Silver Owl folk. They lay waste to the forest, pollute the water, and just do as they please... We'll cast them out.

Home Tap 3: Baur of the Royal Guard is a staunch fellow from Sunset Savanna. I'd say his loud volume, stubbornness, and constant nagging are some of his faults, however.

Home Tap 4: What, you think my mask is frightening? That's how most humans seem to react to it. I thought it was quite stylish, too.

Home Tap 5: If you need something of me, speak quickly. ...I look like someone you know? So what? Don't stop and call out to me for something that trivial.

Home Tap - Groovy: Maleanor-sama was quite the spitfire back in her younger days. I wouldn't be able to count how many times I'd have to accompany her as she snuck out of the castle to romp around in the forest.

Duo: [LILIA]: Sebek, whatever you do, don't get in my way. [SEBEK]: I'll cover you, Lilia-sama!

The Knight of Dawn’s and Silver’s Hair Color

(+ Possibly passing down of blessings through the generations)

I think it’s interesting to think about but we technically don’t, and I don’t believe we’ll ever know, Silver’s true hair color.

Because we don’t know The Knight of Dawn’s true hair color (possibly) nor Princess Leia’s (yet, maybe).

When Silver’s hair color changed from blond to silver, Lilia stated that the reason why Silver had blond hair could have been because The Knight of Dawn was blessed by the diurnal faeries to have “hair as golden as sunlight” so either KOD’s hair was changed from his original hair color to blond because of the blessing or his hair got an extra sheen to it to make his blond hair more lustrous.

So KOD might have had a different hair color than what we had seen, and Silver could have had that hair color or Leah’s hair color when he was born.

Because Silver was either born with or, possibly when the diurnal faes put him to sleep or even at birth, their the blessings might have given him blond hair.

Lilia’s words kind of also implies that blessing/hair color change might be passed down when having kids too.

Because if we think about it, if KOD hair color did change and Silver was born with blond hair, that would mean the blessing/hair color change was passed down.

(Translation by @/081314)

Which, technically, opens up a whole new door doesn’t it? And with it a bunch of feelings. Because that means that blessings might be passed to your children and maybe the power that KOD had was also passed down to Silver hence this would explain KOD’s demise at the humans’ hands…which parallels to a Meleanor theory where it was assumed that maybe Meleanor was weaker because she gave magic/recent birth to Malleus when she had the egg so she didn’t fight in full power. Imagine both KOD and Melanor dying after giving their magic to their sons?😭😭

(It would also explain why Silver is as strong as he is too)

For Silver, if that’s the case, it also means that it’s possible for his future children to have silver hair when they are born. So Lilia’s blessing could also be passed down as well.

But what if I also add on this? What if KOD’s hair was originally silver? And it was changed because of the fairies’ blessing?

If you look at KOD’s hair tips, it’s silver. Baby Silver has silver tips too. It is only with Lilia’s blessing did it turn fully silver.

So can you imagine? If KOD’s hair was originally silver -> turned blonde by the fairies’ blessing -> and then when Lilia blessed Silver that hair color turned back to KOD’s original color?

Wouldn’t that be sweet then? Wouldn’t it add more meaning to Lilia’s Blessing? To Silver’s hair color?

If this was the case, that would mean that Silver’s hair is a reflection of both of his fathers, the two who love him tremendously. 🥹💞

Additionally, if magic/power/blessing is also passed down from their parents, that would mean that Malleus and Silver being as strong as they are is because of their parents 😭🥹

(Which, we know is already the case with Malleus because of his parents’ and Lilia’s love and magic)

Faes and Humans are not so different after all. They just want their loved ones safe and happy.

It is any wonder then? That it will be Silver and Malleus, who were so cherished by their parents and raised by a certain fae, who would bridge that gap? The ones who will truly bring peace between the races. (Something that Lilia also worked so hard on?)

Book 7, I truly adore your message about love, forgiveness, and change. 🥹💞💚🙏

[ventique18]

How it feels is if Raverne is actually dead

/joking of course, raverne is the root reason why malleus is as kind as he is, against all odds

[rayroseu-reblogs]

ON THE LOW just realized what Sebek is describing here is Knight of Dawn's life... OGMG... 😭😭😭😭 not him being disrespected as a king (i feel like at the end the humans followed Henric and not Dawn and thats why they got a disagreement on the land leading to the war inside the Kingdom of Swords), being used as a knight, and also was hated as a child (as per this upbringing described by Sebek)... DAWN.... 😭😭😭😭

imagining that Dawn wasnt taught about anything about faes, only that he must kill them, yet he still dream to understand them even if the Silver Owls forced him to be ignorant and subservient to their selfish greed 😭😭😭✨✨✨

⋆°• ☁︎ - In celebration of the end of book 7!

Feat. Silver Vanrouge

AN: Silver Vanrouge supporter since day one!! Plus, Silver's new card is ethereal, I love it so much

Was it weird how when Lilia saw you his first idea was to call you Leia? Absolutely. Did it continue forever even after you had told him your real name? Of course! Was it even more strange now that Lilia had this weird thing with making you and the sleepy second-year of Diasomnia be together whenever he could get the chance? Hell yeah! Would you ever figure out why? Nope.

Well, not all hope was lost when you suddenly made it into Lilia’s dream and there were many mentions of somebody with the same name that future Lilia called you, the only issue was they all seemed not super pleased when the name came up in conversation, especially when tacked onto the word ‘human’. As time and time progressed you could only feel worse about how the Lilia you knew actually felt about you, as the one from the past hated the name. The name had been thrown around more than you could think when the four of you had stumbled upon Henrick, and the Knight of Dawn, to which Lilia, in the process of running, had explained the relation of the name Leia towards the hatred of the two men standing between the castle and the group.

The wife of the Knight of Dawn.

Why in sevens earth would Lilia ever relate you to the wife of one of their worst enemies? He must have really hated you…

As you ran out of the castle with the egg in tow, there were many thoughts flowing through your head, why the name? Was this really the Malleus? Was there any way that everybody would make it out of this? Much to the dismay of the plan that seemed full proof, there was a loud crash before you were pulled behind Silver, who had been close to you the whole time you were there. Out, a few feet in front of Lilia was the Knight of Dawn, the one person that you actually needed to get away from.

You all were done for.

That was until he looked over at the group, noticing Lilia with the egg, and you, standing slightly behind Silver, looking at the man now standing in the pile of rubble. The only thing that you could notice when the mask broke was the fact he had been staring straight at you, not the main fact of how much he looked like the boy currently standing in front of you. It almost looked like the blonde had wanted to say something before just heading off back towards the main fight, not daring to take the chance to get the egg in arms reach of him, thank the sevens for that.

When all was said and done, Malleus was finally defeated and everything started to go back to normal there was still the lingering question of what the hell they were all talking about when addressing you even just being around you, for hells sake Maleanor was about to attempt murder the first time you even spoke. There was only a laugh that escaped the fae’s mouth when you had seemed so worried about it, and he only laughed louder when you asked if it was really because he hated you and didn’t wanna say anything. Lilia had only shook his head when you had almost started to walk away before handing you something, he had only said it was supposed to be given to you by Malleus but every time the delivery had missed you, and everything would be better shown and not explained. Which only left you more confused when you started this conversation.

The invitation was today at the same castle as the dream, only this time it was covered in black thorns and much darker than when you had originally seen it, but that must have been a hundred years ago. You would be a little surprised when you saw both Silver and Malleus again, but it would quickly change to an expression of awe when you saw the magic between Lilia and Malleus start to take shape and the people gone for years appear around you. Starting with the way the man who had moved next to you a few minutes ago’s parents. Standing and staring at him, the Knight of Dawn, and Princess Leia, which is when you noticed it. The replica of the family.

Of course, over the time that you had first met Silver out in one of the courtyards where he had fallen asleep. You had stayed out there with him just to make sure that he was okay, and nobody was messing with him, you two had gotten close. And it was only after that, when you had been hanging out in the Library with Silver when Lilia first met you, which by the looks of it, he had just straight related you to the love story he had first seen with humans, the love been the princess and the knight, and of course it didn’t help that you already looked like them.

Lilia was never trying to say he didn’t like you, quite the opposite actually. There was a sweetness to the words, almost a blessing of future love between you and his son, and the second you had turned to your left turning to look to the silver-haired man next to you, noticing the similarities to both of you and his parents, there he stood, fidgeting with a silver ring in his hands as he slowly started to speak.

“…there’s been something I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while… but I was to scared to… but after everything we’ve been through I feel that there is no better time than now. I already asked many people who look after you about this. I got blessings from them, which has now led to this stage… (Name), will you go out with me….?”

You let out a small smile when he asked, only he would make this sound like a proposal when he was just asking you out.

“Of course…”

He let out a genuine smile before slipping the ring on you and whispered.

“…It’s just a promise… a promise to be the best boyfriend, and eventually… be an even better husband…”

There were some things in stories that would have never made sense before you had ended up here: true love, dragons and sword fights, and even men would weren’t complete douchebags. But yet somehow, maybe there was a chance, and that chance had followed the footsteps of his parents, and found the one not only would go to war for, but also protect with his life.

⋆°• ☁︎ Bonus! ⋆°• ☁︎ The second that Silver had stepped away to go talk with his real parents, Lilia had came over next to you.

“Told ya’ I didn’t hate you!”

You laughed as he continued

“I just noticed the similarities, and maybe was pushing on it that you and Silver would fall in love… I mean I saw the way he looked at you when we were finally introduced. Isn’t that right, Leia~?

Vil: *is not amused by MC's decision to visit him in Pomefiore. Moreover, after elegantly and gracefully subduing the students who tried to stop them, he had no choice but to let them in*

Vil: I trust you won't waste my time with such pointless requests.

MC: You're the only person I could think of who can do it safely, since your ability requires specific conditions to be met.

Vil: *frowns* Who told you that?

MC: I received the information from a reliable source.

Vil: Azul.

Vil: ...I see. Unfortunately, we're neither friends nor close acquaintances. I don't grant favors simply because someone asks.

MC: The acting skills of the actors in your Film Studies Club need improvement.

Vil: What did you say?

MC: I watched your members practice, and they came across as nothing more than wannabe protagonists.

Vil: ...

MC: ...

Vil: They are inexperienced because they have never had real acting work.

MC: Even so, you are a professional actor and model, although you may lack experience as an acting mentor.

Vil: ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVOKE ME?!

MC: That is not my intention.

MC: In fact, I can provide suggestions for enhancing the acting skills of your actors, especially since you mentioned that my acting skills are superb. *smiles*

Vil: ...

Vil: The last time, they didn't react negatively when I rejected them at the audition. So why are they bothering me now?

Vil: ...

Vil: Alright, I will permit you to be an acting mentor, but only for a week.

MC: That's more than enough time. In return, once you see improvements in your actors, will you finally grant me the favor I'm asking for?

Vil: Yes.

MC: Then we have a deal.

Rook: Roi du Poison, you chose MC as the acting mentor for your club? *genuinely surprised*

Vil: I know. A bad decisio—

Rook: Non! You certainly made the right choice!

Vil: *raised an eyebrow* How so?

Rook: Chevalier des Roses has been praising them because the Heartslabyul students have been behaving exceptionally well around MC.

Vil: The Pomefiore students aren't fans of them, Rook—Hold on a moment.

Vil: ...

Vil: *squints his eyes at Rook*

Vil: Are you...?

Rook: ...

Rook: *cheerful* Oui!

Vil: *facepalm*

Sebek: MC-sama! You shouldn't offer your help to commoners like them!

MC: ...

MC: Don’t most of the students from Pomefiore come from distinguished families?

Sebek: Yes, but you are still above them!

MC: ...

MC: Sebek, I don't think I need to worry about the class system since I don't have the prominent traits of the Draconia clan.

Sebek: MC-sama...

Lilia: *appears* Oho~ That's not true at all.

Lilia: Only ignorant fools would believe you don't come from a noble lineage.

Lilia: Because just look at you~!

Lilia: You're adorable and sweet! Just like Maleanor before she turned into a menace.

Sebek: L-Lilia-sama!

MC: ...

Lilia: *knows that they're planning something*

MC: Would you be let down if I turned out like my grandmother?

Lilia: *chuckles* Not at all.

Lilia: But surely, you'll let me see how this unfolds, right?

MC: *smiles apologetically*

Lilia: Aww... No?

Jamil: *feels satisfied that MC seems to be becoming more open with Kalim*

Jamil: I knew it. They may seem reserved, but they're genuinely naive at heart.

Jamil: *reviews the document he prepared to position himself as the new dorm leader of Scarabia once Kalim leaves NRC*

Jamil: My parents can't blame me because the world is dangerous for Kalim, and I can't always protect him.

Jamil: *couldn't help but smile*

Jamil: Soon, I will be saying farewell to you, Kalim.

MC: ...

MC: *with a serious expression* It appears you believed you had this all planned out, Jamil Viper.

MALLEUS’S GREAT GRANDMOTHER IS ALIVE???? Poor reader is NOT getting a break the moment she steps foot on Brior valley soil LMAO

Also the way you wrote “rook’s ENTIRE family” scared me ngl because god damn I bet he has a large ass family 💀

I can see Cater’s sister’s dressing up reader like a doll like 25 times in one day

The moment Kalim’s family meets the human, reader comes out with new golden jewelry due to the al-asim family gifting her so many like I can just see it now

Malefica and Maleficent are two different dragons. Malefica is his grandmother. Maleficent is his Great Grandmother. Maleanor (his mother) was killed. Malleus is thinking of names that start with 'Malle' or 'Male' for his and the Human's young to keep up the naming tradition (Mallechite for example). That is three Dragons who want to keep the Human, pray the Human never visits Briar Valley because that is three Dragons who see the Human as their Hoard (Given Malleus is part of Malefica's hoard as her grandson, and both are part of Maleficent's Hoard as her descendants) since Hoards among dragon families often overlap. Those Dragons are not letting go of the Human EVER. Practically attached at the hip, especially Maleficent and Malleus. Malleus because that is HIS Human and Maleficent because she misses her Humans.

Rook comes from a large family as he is a Drider and can have several dozen hatchlings if the eggs all survive. Rook is the 8th of 10 siblings. Not to mention his uncles and aunts who have their own families. His siblings are constantly bugging him for details despite the fact he didn't talk with them very much before the Human due to how much his family likes to spread out and live in different places. It is not uncommon for a Hunt to randomly leave home in search of their fixation, but Rook bringing the Human back home to his parents may be the first time the ENTIRE family comes together. They are all almost vibrating with how excited they are. There will be squabbles between siblings over the Human, who is actively hiding under Rook.

Cater has two older sisters, and he is the only Nymph of his family that chose to be male (as Nymphs have no set gender and simply choose what resonates most with them). They will happily use the Human as a dress up doll since cay-cay doesn't like being the doll. They are all Lake Water Nymphs but his sisters have more lake green hair. Cater's two Mothers will adore the Human and will praise their son for finding such a cute little thing. The sisters will ensure they get their fair share of time with the Human, they kay even kick Cater out of dress-up time and this will upset him deeply.

The Al-Asim are attempting to seal a marriage contract between Kalim and the Human, especially after Kalim's father learns Kalim granted a wish for the Human and somehow they didn't die from it. He believes this granted wish is an answer to his prayers and will give any wealth to secure the two in matrimony. Want gemstones? You get gemstones. Want a fancy new car? You get a fancy new car. Want a Diamond lamp (that totally isn't being planned as your and Kalim's child's lamp?) Please, take it! They would rather you have it on hand for reasons. Doesn't matter the Human's gender, Genies can successfully have young with ANYONE regardless of gender or fertility. They want another Al-Asim.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Wish we knew more about Silver’s bio family. Questions about Maleanor still have potential to be answered, but there’s not much hope that we’ll get anything about Dawn Knight or Leah. I get that they’re meant to be forgotten but still wish we knew more. Might’ve missed something but do either of them have magic? We barely know a thing about Leah and it would’ve been nice to know KOD’s name. Why was KOD blessed by those fairies? Are those fairies still alive? What was Leah doing during the war? B

I think there’s always more potential to expand on the characters’ family members in future content, even if it’s just a brief moment or a throwaway line. That includes Maleanor, the Dawn Knight, and Leah! Silver’s noble family might be mentioned in a textbook or in one of Lilia’s stories, or maybe we’ll get an event where we visit the place where his kingdom used to be. However, since the narrative seems to really lean into him finding his family in Lilia, we may not hear many more specifics on Silver’s biological family.

While it’s not explicitly stated, I assume that neither the Dawn Knight or Leah are mages. They live in a time period where mages are seemingly discriminated against. (Maleanor is called the derogatory phrase “witch” but, confusingly, the Silver Owls have their own battle mages.) Secondly, I find it odd that the Dawn Knight wouldn’t use magic in combat if he was capable of it. His sword seems to fire lasers, but it seems to be enchanted rather than him casting a spell.

I’m also assuming that Leah was likely holed up in a castle back home and waiting for the Dawn Knight to return? Lilia mentions that human princesses may be dainty and in need of rescuing, but his princess isn’t anything like that; Maleanor is strong-willed and perfectly capable of defending herself. I’m guessing that Leah is Maleanor’s opposite then. More demure and stereotypically “princess in a tower”/“damsel in distress”.

Heinrick also mentions that their father is sick with an incurable illness (hence why they want Maleanor’s powerful magestone, the Princess Glow/Majestic Ember). He also states that Leah prays everyday for their father to heal. It’s possible that she stayed behind to look after their ailing father, the king, while the men went off to war. This would be supported by the earlier suggestion that Leah is Maleanor’s opposite, and thus not able to contribute in combat. It therefore makes more sense for Leah to stay back home.

I’d be interested in learning why those three guardian fairies sided with the Silver Owls in the war 🤔 I’ve seen people suggesting it’s because they, too, dislike the nocturnal fae (since diurnal and nocturnal fae have historically not gotten along), but I don’t think that’s why?? We see several pixies (classified as diurnal fae) whose lands were ravaged in Briarland battle maps. Surely they must have known about the tensions between fae and humans…? Did they have some reason to be loyal to a human kingdom or to protect the Dawn Knight? We don’t know what the life spans of these guardian fae look like either (while Baur and Maleficia are still alive and well); it would be wild if we met them sometime.

[rayroseu]

Wait this is actually interesting, so from what the story implies, Wild Rose Castle is weaker than Black Scale Castle because it probably has no magical atmosphere that serves as its defense, there's probably fewer troops here, and the fact that its just on a clear meadow makes the terrain not suitable for defenses unlike Black Scale who is atop a mountain and covered in a Valley.

So I kinda think that Wild Rose Castle is a newly built castle in Briarland. After all, Meleanor was a kid only 200 years ago so Wild Briar is probably that age as well (or more), i think that age is young (compared to Black Scale which probably several centuries old?) thats why it has weaker defense facilities.

Maybe Wild Briar is older as Black Scale, but this game says this is Meleanor's castle so I assume she's the one who had built this.

But I have this HC that this castle is actually built because of Levan. For his diplomatic mission between humans. Building a castle in an easy terrain would make sense to make it easier for magicless humans to transport in. Because I don't really expect(?) Maleanor who is a military commander, which she probably has knowledge of strategies, to not see how disadvantegous this location is considering its close to humans

But I also think Wild Briar was built as like a refuge for the faes that live far away outside Dragon City(I wont call it dragonopolis lol)

Wild Rose being a few centuries old also kinda makes sense since the Silver Owls only recognize Meleanor as the only ruler in Briarland, they probably arent aware theres a queen named Maleficia because she's ancient(?) atleast I didnt caught any silver owls mentioning her iirc(?) They went to the mountains near Dragon city yes-- but like it was to pursue General Lilia and not to besiege Black Scale as well even they kinda had the potential to do so since they took down Maleanor and Silver Owls' is implied to be very greedy--

I actually think its more interesting to not summarize Maleanor's cause of death as just her overestimating her win against Knight of Dawn-- I actually think its because of several reasons such as:

"Wrong time" in working out the diplomatic relations between the conflict between humans and faes, Levan's plan to educate wasn't pointless effort, but I wish the story states as well what he did to counter the fact that the faes hates humans not because of a misunderstanding, but because of their mistreatment towards faes(the story literally implies rhe humans kills faes meanwhile we have yet to see a royal guard fae that killed humans the story only tells us they chased them away), Levan does this when its clear that the Silver Owls was getting hostile, like objectively speaking, this was kinda not the right time to communicate and Meleanor was the receiving end of the build up hostility of the Silver Owls

This is kinda countering my first point, but Meleanor's decisions was kinda weird too in the story lol, why send your best Generals to the enemy fortress.... 😭💥 But I actually think this is interesting as well, because its likely a reference to the wars in LiveAction Maleficent... I remember watching that movie especially Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil and just wondering why the Moors never plans (and even if they do its very simple, just charge in and overpower the enemy with strength), they just charge in instead of treating it "like a chess" where you save your best pieces in dangerous situations and everyone has a role in dispelling the enemy. They also hold this belief that only the strong ones would guarantee their success and heavily relies on them. Meanwhile, Queen Ingrid used deception and control to subdue all the faeries. Like Meleanor/Faes vs Humans, the faes never thinks about what the human enemy plans, they rely on raw dodging it lol probably alluding to the fact that the faes have trouble thinking like a human.

And lastly this point lol, poor choice of headquarters, the terrain is easy for humans to invade in, and the castle is still weak, also the fact that Wild Briar was alone in fighting several human nations was a factor as well because it couldnt get back up in time because it was too far away from Black Scale Castle, kinda adding Wild Briar was outnumbered too atp

Malleus Facts Part 1: Family (pt1)

We will occasionally hear information about Malleus’ sole blood relative, his grandmother.

We learn she has impressed upon him that barging in somewhere uninvited is the height of rudeness, taught him that humans often fear them, told him tales of the Scalding Sands (“But we haven’t heard much about the country since things became peaceful here”), and more.

Malleus mentions receiving cufflinks, cards and rose seeds for his birthday, saying that he cannot help but admire her thoughtfulness.

Malleus says that Lilia and his grandmother are the only people who ruffle his hair in a certain way.

He says “having siblings seems rather complicated” after discussing their families with Trey and Cater, but follows with, “one should treat their family with respect.”

Malleus also says his childhood was so long ago that he can barely remember any of it now.

In an extremely rare reference to his parents, Malleus wonders if they, his grandmother and Lilia toiled in the hopes of giving their descendants a happy, peaceful life.

Sebek says that while his grandfather has shared many tales of heroics about the Draconia family and Lilia, they never spoke much about Malleus’ mother Maleanor, or about how Malleus’ parents died:

“I've read many books to gain a greater understanding of Briar Valley and our ruler…but hardly any of them touched upon such topics.”

In Book 7 we learn that Maleanor was the princess of the Land of Briar 400 years ago (before it became Briar Valley).

Maleanor was his grandmother, Maleficia’s, only child and a key figure in the country’s defense, as commander of the royal guard.

Lilia describes Maleanor as so powerful that the rest of them combined would not stand a chance against her:

“She's also unruly, quick to start fights, selfish, and irascible...not to mention incredibly spiteful. Lady Maleanor is Briarland's most menacing figure.”

Lilia says she'd complain about food, refusing to eat jerky when they were children until Raverne stewed it for her:

“And of course she fawned over Raverne all the while, making passive-aggressive remarks like, ‘You're the only one I can depend on.’ ...maybe that's where the difference between him and me lies. And here I was the one to actually bring the food.”

SSR Sebek Zigvolt - Evernight Armor Voice Lines

Evernight Armor Sebek does not have a vignette

When Summoned: In order to be someone worthy of being my liege's right-hand man, I must grow stronger and improve myself even further.

Summon Line: I must conduct myself properly so as to not bring any shame to this armor. I will certainly be of use to everyone!

Groooovy!!: I will demonstrate a fighting prowess worthy of both this mask and the Zigvolt name!

Home: Don't be late, human!

Swap Looks: Here I vow on the pride of the Royal Guard!

Home Idle 1: I deeply regret not noticing the pain that my lord was feeling. From here on out, I swear to not overlook any minute details, and strive to serve him even better.

Home Idle 2: How lucky am I to be able to witness with my own eyes Lilia-sama during his time as the Royal General of the Right! I'll never forget the sight!

Home Idle 3: It is a little unsettling that Silver doesn't just suddenly fall asleep anymore. I know that this is what should be considered normal, but... It just feels odd.

Home Idle - Login: Designs that have been passed down within Briar Valley since long ago have been worked intricately throughout this armor. From the bottom of my heart, I am honored to be able to wear this.

Home Idle - Groovy: My grandfather is the one who instilled in me the joy of reading. I still cherish every single book he has ever given me.

Home Tap 1: The young master had always said that Lilia-sama is terrifying when enraged... And now I see his expression is just as intense as I had heard.

Home Tap 2: My grandfather showed some concern for my puffy eyes. It seems like he's always balanced his strictness with compassion, even in his youth.

Home Tap 3: I cannot believe that I never even considered thinking about how my liege was before he was born until it was brought up... What an absolute blunder!

Home Tap 4: Her power is so immense that even Lilia-sama and the rest of the royal guard could not possibly win against her, even if they stood up to her all as one... I wouldn't have expected anything less from Maleanor-sama, my lord's esteemed mother!

Home Tap 5: I cannot believe you'd let him try to take his meals before the members of the guard have had the opportunity... You haven't disciplined Grim at all, whatsoever!

Home Tap - Groovy: You're much too weak. Even while marching you quickly look so exhausted... I suppose I'll just have to train you myself one of these days!

Duo: [SEBEK]: Time to go on the offensive, Ortho! [ORTHO]: Sebek-san, I have your back!

Do you guys ever think about Lilia and how he was changed during those 200 years? All the unconditional love he has? And how that was possible because of Malleus?

Lilia wouldn’t be the Lilia we know today if it wasn’t for that time of his life.

He had nothing left. His childhood friends gone. No title. Banished. He was walking aimlessly in life without any purpose

But then he was given a purpose.

He came back not as General Vanrouge but just Lilia Vanrouge.

He has a purpose now and his purpose was Malleus. A reason for him to live.

The very thing Maleanor wanted of him, for not only Lilia to live but also her son. Be each other's purpose.

Lilia traveled, he constantly looked for ways to hatch Malleus, and he changed during these travels and opened his eyes to humans.

Lilia learned and changed and loved and it was all because of that little egg.

He wasn't willing to do that before when he was General Vanrouge, but Malleus became his reason to live and his hope.

He would return to that egg and talk to him, tell him stories, he would rest next to that egg, and he would let his guard down because Malleus was his constant and his rest/peace.

Malleus showed Lilia that he could love, without him, Lilia would have always been that stubborn headed General thinking he didn't need a family, children were a hassle, etc.

Lilia learned that he could love because of him. It gave him peace and hope in a way he hadn't had it before.

Lilia learned the joys of cooking and enjoying food with a loved one. He put more effort to learning and expanding his knowledge so he could see him smile.

He learned and taught Malleus instruments to spend time with him. He learned the joys of running after a baby who threw tantrums and sneaking him cotton candy.

The joys of helping dress a child and feeding him. He sought for peace because of Malleus and wanted him to be free and get along with his human neighbors.

He chose to raise Silver because of him because he wanted to be a good example of what he taught. In return, this allowed him to expand his horizons and not just get along with humans but love them too (and through these actions, so did Malleus learn as well). He went to NRC because he wanted to be able to spend time with his family and expand their relationships and connections.

He wanted a family and he got that because of Malleus.

He wanted Malleus to learn and get along with humans, to have friends. Give Malleus the same love and experience that Malleus taught him even before he was born.

And Malleus? Malleus loved Lilia even before he was born. He reached out to him, rejected his grandmother’s magic, lived, and threw a tantrum because of how much he loves Lilia.

After he was born, from the stories we hear, you can see how much Malleus continues to love Lilia. Recalling fond memories as mentioned before, taking care of Silver because that would make Lilia happy, learning and getting along with humans for Lilia, always heeding and taking to heart everything Lilia says, wanting to make him proud, sneaking away to see him, etc.

Malleus literally did everything for Lilia that Lilia did for him.

Malleus gave Lilia love, peace, and hope for the present and future and Lilia returned that as well.

Lilia wants Malleus to learn, so even when Lilia isn't here anymore, Malleus will always have this love with him. The same love he gave Lilia.

So, in the future, Malleus will always have this cherished feeling with him.

He won’t be lonely anymore, like how General Vanrouge wasn’t lonely anymore because of that special little egg.

I think about this love between them and feel so soft 😭💞 always thinking about the other and loving each other so.

I would like to remind everyone of a simple fact:

Maleanor would rather leave her son with Lilia than her own mother. She literally said that Lilia should hatch him. Didn't even mention a letter of her mother's name.

And Malleus' egg, who should hatch from love, never hatched a single crack in Maleficia's embrace.

I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. I really do. Malleus and Maleanor were so full of love, so it should be common sense that Maleficia would too.

But... The mind is weak and love runs out. She must have grown tired when her husband passed, and she must have died when her daughter did.

Her love must've run out a long time ago.

During the fairy and human war do you think that darlings were taken as trophies? Like if a yandere was killed in battle they would like try to find out where they lived so they could take their darling?

TW: Mentions of War Crimes

With how much H*nrick wanted to take Malleus’ egg for himself to have a pet dragon, (I hope Maleanor burned you to death, H*nrick), I can see that happening. 

It probably strengthens the fae’s hatred of humans because they are not only separating yanderes from their darlings, but they’re also taking these innocent darlings away to a life of seven only knows what after taking away their protectors.

I don’t think the fae would do that to the human darlings though, with their belief of them being the most important and most fragile treasure ever created. While I feel the humans would do it, the fae would just leave them be. 

But given that human nature is usually very selfish and cruel, Look at H*nrick, they would be the only ones to take them as trophies.

I realized something

Even if you were a fae, Malleus would still outlive you. Dragon fairies are especially long lived so it got me thinking.

It's highly possible Maleficia outlived her husband since Malleus never mentioned having a grandfather. If Maleanor were still alive (unsure about Raverne since it hasn't been confirmed or denied that he is alive or dead. Just missing) but there's a good chance that Maleanor could've outlived him too.

If we're using Lilia's lifespan as an example, there's a good chance that Malleus would live FAR past 1000 years (though I think 1000 is considered elderly for dragon fairies unsure tbh) but even if you were blessed with the long lifespan of a fae, there's a good chance that you would still be waiting a long time in the afterlife until he returns to you.

A Hometown Event Idea. Non-artwork post.

After seeing the new Coral Event lineups. A moots of mine is kind of sad that Ruggie is not in the lineup. I think Jack, Ruggie, and Floyd have not gotten hometown cards?

I came up with this fun event idea a long time ago, we're visiting Briar Valley for Sebek's parent's wedding anniversary (this is just my excuse to see both his parents). I want them tackle more about their marriage ceremony and how they view of "love" itself? Just like Maleanor mentioned, Lilia loves both her and Raverne. I can see Fae creatures cherish someone they love so much.

And I manage to create a story about how he is going to invite the rest of the characters that haven't got the event SR/R. The reasons for the invitation are that they need more help preparing the anniversary wedding let's say their 50th Golden Anniversary. There's incident happened with the party planner, so his parents suddenly calls him to help, and Sebek is allowed to bring his classmates if he wants.

Not sure the outfit looks like, but for the party, imagine the scene that Maleficent wasn't invited to Aurora christening, thus Sebek not inviting Malleus. But this time because he can't find him, since he went missing strolling for his Gargoyles Club activity again. Silver and Lilia are on their way to find him, so they told Sebek to return first.

He insists on asking Jack first since they're fellow 1st years. Furthermore, Jack might help with some lifting jobs. Jack was interested because he got curious about Sebek's parents and wanted to see their happy marriage between human and fae (remember in Ace Suitor SSR, the wolf is royal to their partner thing).

Then Ruggie overheard the conversation and volunteered to become the receptionist or the guest organizer. The truth is, he wants to eat and take the food home and expect some souvenir gifts for his grandma. Just a Ruggie thing~

And Floyd, hm... I'm not sure, but I kind of want to refer to his dream in Book 7, one of them is he goes traveling on land and meets the Briar Valley royal , but this time IRL. Basically, he also just does his thing as long as it's fun.

And then, randomly bring Trey just for fun. Similar to Jack, he went to Leona's hometown event, but he's not the card. He really wants to meet Sebek's father so bad. Also, the reason for the invitation is that they need more human chefs/bakers for the food. And for the plot twist or plot-twst (heh). It turns out Trey and Sebek are long-lost cousins all along~

I read some fans said Coral Sea might also be a wedding or anniversary event because the scenery is similar to Ariel and Eric's wedding ceremony. Oh boy, are we going to crash someone else's wedding party? TLDR: Aniplex JP, please hire me as the co-writer! I've got a lot of funny Disney movie ideas for the event!
