Harriet

letizia lelouch was in love with the queen of rhodolite

i don't really see the fandom talk abt the princes' mothers (then again, not much material to work with) so i just felt like sharing a "headcanon" i've had since i read clavis' route.

like, you're telling me 1. letizia wasn't in love with the king at all, 2. when the queen and her arrived at the palace, they were so close people thought they were sisters (and they were roommates...), 3. she didn't have lovers after having clavis because of her devotion to the queen, 4. she jumped off a cliff when the queen died

Clavis version. Chevalier version. Bonus story

As the youngest child of Rhodolite's royal family, I learn many things from my older brothers.

However, I had one brother whose behavior I mustn't imitate.

Emma: "Unbelievable."

Nokto: "Yes, yes, I apologize."

Emma: "If you're going to apologize, you better apologize to that woman from earlier."

Nokto: "If I feel like it."

Emma: ".....Brother Nokto."

Nokto: "This is what adult's fun is all about."

(How many times has this happened now?)

The red shape of handprint was painfully visible on brother's reddened cheek.

The noblewoman slapped brother Nokto right in front of me few minutes earlier with tears in her eyes.

(You're toying with people's feelings again. You're the worst.)

Nokto: "Listen, Emma, this is also part of my job."

Emma: "Brother Yves said your immoral behavior isn't part of your official duty."

Nokto: "Yvie is a child, just like you."

Nokto: "See now, Jin is just like me, isn't he?"

Emma: "Brother Jin has never been slapped before."

Nokto: "Maybe you just haven't seen it?"

Emma: "You're trying to change the subject, aren't you?"

Emma: "I'm not going to forgive you today. I will give you a lecture in brother Yves's place."

Brother Nokto looked dejected,

But then suddenly, as if he came up with some idea, he smiled smugly.

(What...?)

Nokto: "Hey, sis. Are you hungry?"

[Black screen]

Emma: "Huh?"

[Screen change — Cafe]

Nokto: "Come on, eat as much as you like. It's all on me."

Emma: "Wow!"

In the cafe, a large table was set with rose tea and cake stand.

Sandwiches, scones, cakes, fruits, tarts, macarons—

The well-balanced afternoon tea, with its' perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors, has always made my heart flutter from happiness.

(No, wait. Brother Nokto is just trying to win me over.)

Emma: "I'll enjoy them, then."

(But I must not be swayed by them.)

Emma: "Mmm! Delicious!"

(I know it's bad for me but sweets are my guilty pleasure!)

Nokto: "See, I knew you'd like them."

Nokto: "Eat whatever you like. I'll eat what you leave behind."

Sitting across from me, my brother elegantly sipped his tea with a pleased look on his face.

(Even though I know it's a trap.....)

[Scene change — bookstore]

(Even though I know....)

Nokto: "You can buy as many books as you want."

Emma: "Really?"

Nokto: "Yes, think of it as a gift."

Emma: "Yay! Thank you, big brother Nokto!"

[Scene change — rose garden]

Nokto: "Apparently, this rose garden was built for tourists. There's a swing over here too."

Emma: "......Brother Nokto."

Nokto: "What, do you want to ride it?"

Emma: "I'm guessing I can't."

Nokto: "It's fine. You're still a kid, after all."

[Scene change — streets of Rhodolite]

(I knew I shouldn't have fallen for it but I still did it!)

When the sky completely changed the color, I came back to my senses and embarrassed by my own weaknesses, I buried my face in my hands.

(But there were sweets, books and swing...it was really fun.)

Nokto: "You're easy to fool."

Brother Nokto made no attempts to hide that he was a deliberate schemer.

Instead, he readjusted his grip on my books and laughed amusingly.

Nokto: "Since big brother was so kind to you, will you take my side now?"

Emma: ".......ugh, that's cowardly...."

Nokto: "....Ugh."

(Huh?)

Suddenly, brother Nokto's voice changed, so I looked up.

A beautiful woman came running towards us from the other side.

(She's not the woman I saw this morning... I guess I'll have to scold him again.)

Woman: "Prince Nokto, what a coincidence. To meet you here of all places must be some kind of divine intervention!"

Nokto: "Ah yes, maybe so. By the way, don't you have any attendants with you?"

Woman: "I'm incognito today."

Woman: "If you'd like, would you spend the night with me? I can't forget the other night I spent with prince Nokto..."

(What other night are you talking about?)

The woman didn't seem to notice me, and I casually glanced at brother Nokto's face.

(..........That's a fake smile.)

Of course, my brother is good at socializing, so the woman didn't even notice it was fake.

But having spent the whole day with brother Nokto, who was genuinely smiling the entire time, I could see the difference.

(I think brother doesn't enjoy fooling around with women as much as he claims he does.)

(He might not be able to refuse due to his work, but...)

(Please take a break just for today.)

Emma: "Ouch...it hurts..."

Nokto: "Emma?"

Emma: ".....My head hurts...."

Nokto: "Are you okey?!"

As I clutched my head and crouched down, brother Nokto knelt down to help me.

(They'll probably realize it's a lie soon enough.)

Nokto: "You have a fever."

Emma: ".....huh? A fever?"

Nokto: "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you weren't feeling well."

(I don't actually have a fever, right....?)

Those red eyes were so intense that I felt unsettled.

Nokto: "We need to get to a physician immediately."

Brother Nokto stood up and easily picked me up in his arms.

Nokto: "My younger sister has a weak constitution. Sorry but I'll make it up to you another time."

Before the woman could even respond, brother Nokto walked away.

[Scene change — carriage]

Looking bewildered, I was carefully carried to carriage. My older brother closed a door and burst out laughing.

Nokto: "You started it first, so why do you look so bewildered?"

Emma: "..........Was it all an act?"

Nokto: "Of course. Truly a compelling performance, don't you think?"

(I got really fooled.)

Emma: "You're good at lying."

Nokto: "You should take a lesson from me then. No adult would be fooled by a child acting like she's in pain."

Emma: "......sorry."

Nokto: "what for?"

Emma: "For interrupting your conversation."

Nokto: "Shouldn't it be 'for trying to help you'?"

Emma: "You noticed that as well?"

Nokto: "It was totally obvious. But, man, you're pretty sharp for a kid."

(Is this a compliment?)

Nokto: "Oh dear, it looks like I was too careless to let you see right through me."

Nokto: "I should be more skilled so I don't get caught again."

Emma: "If you dislike it so much, then don't do it." (talking about fooling around with women and etc)

Nokto: "It doesn't work that way for adults."

Emma: ".....I don't really get it."

Nokto: "That's because you're still a kid."

(He's an awful big brother but...deep down I know.)

(That his 'playing around' isn't for fun, but it somehow helps protecting the kingdom.)

Nokto: "Anyway, you should stay the carefree kid forever."

Nokto: "Nothing good will ever come out of becoming an adult like me."

Emma: "So, you're actually aware that you're good-for-nothing."

Nokto: "Obviously."

Emma: "I won't deny that big brother is good-for-nothing, but......"

Emma: "........despite everything, you're still a good big brother."

Nokto: "Really?"

Emma: "Yeah."

Nokto: ".........thanks."

(I doubt big brother will ever change his ways but.....)

Chevalier's version Clavis's version Nokto's version

As the youngest child of Rhodolitian Royal family, I'm permitted to attend roundtable meetings.

I haven't been involved in national politics much yet, but...

I always admired the sight of my older brothers eagerly engaging in discussions.

Clavis: Everyone, thank you for coming. We will now begin an emergency roundtable meeting.

However, today, all of my brothers had grim expressions.

The roundtable discussions only cover important matters related to national politics.

Sensing that something serious must have happened, I also tensed up.

Clavis: "As you all are well aware, regarding the pending issue from other day..."

Clavis: "Regarding this matter, we have refrained from making official statements and remained silent until now, but the situation has now become critical."

Clavis: "Therefore, today, I would like us to align our understanding regarding this grave matter..."

Clavis: "I intend to present our conclusion and policy to the citizens and the subjects. Are there any objections?"

(What could possibly happen that has made usually playful brother Clavis so serious...?)

Clavis: Now, let's get to business. Today's topic—"

Clavis: "It concerns the marriage prospects of our beloved youngest sister, Emma."

(............what?)

Leon: "Chevalier rejected the proposals from foreign affairs nobles, didn't he?"

Clavis: "Yeah. To ensure they never utter such ridiculous things again, I gave them a taste of—oops, I shouldn't say any more."

Jin: "After that, three new proposals have been sent to domestic affairs faction."

Nokto: "There are two foreign affairs candidates too."

Luke: "That's a lot, considering Chevalier put pressure on them."

Nokto: "Just so you know, it's significantly less than before."

Yves: "Emma is the most beautiful woman in this country."

Yves: "It is thanks to Chevalier's terrifying influence that marriage proposals have been cut down to a mere handful, compared to hundreds we used to receive."

(There were that many?!)

Nokto: "There it is. Yves's sister-doting side."

Yves: "Look who's talking, Nokto. Didn't you pull strings behind the scenes yourself?"

Yves: "You've been spreading all kinds of rumors just to make sure no marriage proposals come her way, haven't you?"

Nokto: "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Licht: "So, what are we going to do about these five cases?"

Clavis: "I'll pass the documents around. Let me hear your opinions."

Emma: "Excuse me for a moment."

Since no one was going to stop this absurd roundtable meeting, I stood up and raised my voice.

Clavis: "What's wrong, little sister?"

Emma: "To begin with, this is not the topic that should be discussed at roundtable meeting."

Leon: "No way. This is a huge deal for our little sister, is it not?"

Emma: "Shouldn't you be focusing on your own wedding offers before worrying about mine?"

Jin: "It doesn't really matter to us. But it's going to be difficult for you. There are a lot of weird men out there."

Clavis: "Chevalier is prime example here."

Chevalier: "....."

Licht: "...Clavis is the weird one."

Clavis: "Licht, did you say you wanted to eat a lunchbox overflowing with your big brother's love?"

Licht: "Stop it."

Luke: "Besides, the guy who proposed to you yesterday was a total loser."

Leon: "From now on, your big brothers will carefully check it, so don't worry."

Emma: "......I don't know. I can't feel at ease at all."

(Maybe it's because all my brothers have such scary looks in their eyes.)

Clavis: "Everyone, look at the documents. Let's start the discussion about the first candidate."

Nokto: "At first glance...He's the son of viscount from foreign affairs faction. He even has a portrait."

Yves: "Rejected."

Nokto: "already?!"

Yves: "He has no sense in fashion."

Licht: "...Yes, it's definitely uncool."

(It was rejected for that reason?!)

Yves: "If you want to stand next to my sister, having world-class taste in fashion is bare minimum."

Clavis: "Hmm, that's true. Now for the second person."

Leon: "He's the son of a count from domestic affairs faction."

Jin: "Rejected."

Luke: "It's unusual for Jin to voice rejection."

Jin: "That count's family has a long history of womanizing."

Licht & Nokto: "Immediately rejected."

Clavis: "That's not even worth discussing. There's no need for a man who can't treat my sister with respect. This is the third one."

Luke: "He looks like a son of a diplomat."

Nokto: "His father isn't bad person though."

Licht: "Rejected."

Leon: "oh, now Licht has taken the bait. Why?"

Licht: "He looks weak."

Nokto: "Well, he definitely doesn't have physique of someone who practices martial arts."

Clavis: "At the very least, his swordsmanship should be on par with ours. Rejected."

(No way, all of my brothers' swordsmanship skills are top-notch.)

Yves: "The fourth one...huh? What's this? This isn't even a marriage proposal, it's just a love letter."

Nokto: "You should stay away from men who won't even show basic manners. Rejected."

Clavis: "So, the fifth person...I think we can reject this one too."

Leon: "isn't that bit early?"

Clavis: "I can strongly sense dirty political schemes at play. Because of this, true love will be impossible."

Jin: "True love is most important thing in marriage, isn't it?"

(If this is the case then I, princess, will not be able to marry anyone.)

Clavis: "So, this is the conclusion. Is it alright if we reject all marriage proposals that have reached us this time?"

Everyone except Chevalier: "No objections."

Emma: "I object! You guys are being too strict. This is too much!"

Clavis: "That's not true. I intent to let the whole nation know that they need to improve themselves as men and try again."

(That's incredibly rude!)

Among my brothers, who all looked so refreshed as if they just finished important job, there was one whose expression remained unchanged.

I turned to my older brother Chevalier, who had remained completely silent, and pleaded for help.

Emma: "Brother Chevalier, please stop them from getting out of control."

Chevalier: "....."

Chevalier: "....It's decided."

Chevalier: "I have no objections. Burn all the documents."

Clavis: "Ah, I'll turn them to ashes right away."

(I thought at least brother Chevalier would brush this meeting as "nonsensical").

After saying that, brother Chevalier stood up and strode away from the roundtable.

Despite my objections, the discussion's conclusion was already drawn and I felt like tearing my hair out.

[Scene changes]

???: "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?! What is this?!"

???: "Stop it....waaaaaaaaaaaahhh!"

As I walked down the corridor, earth-shattering screams disturbed the silence of the palace.

(Those voices....no way! Not again!)

I rushed to the window and saw few noblemen hanging from a large tree in garden.

They were swaying back and forth, their faces dyed in seven different colors.

It was a nightmare, as if rainbow had fallen on them.

Emma: "Brother Clavis!"

Clavis: "You called, little sister?"

Clavis appeared immediately, making no attempts to hide his delight.

Emma: "You've done it again."

Clavis: "It's impressive, isn't it?"

Outside, the palace knights were frantically rescuing the victims.

(Wait, these noblemen...they seem familiar...)

Emma: "Oh, could these five men be the same five candidates—"

Clavis: "To be precise, it's their parents. I'm not so horrible to hung youngsters in mid-air, you know?"

Emma: "If you're capable of being that considerate, why did you do this?"

Clavis: "Haha, I thought I'd correct them for proposing to you without any sense of resolve or manners."

Clavis: "If you're bringing marriage proposal to the table, he has to be at least as handsome as me."

Clavis: "But what do you think? None of those candidates had that kind of spirit or determination."

Clavis: "It's a shame, truly."

(Now that I think about it...Today's roundtable meeting was started by brother Clavis.)

(I'm sure brother Clavis will keep getting in the way of my proposals from now on.)

(And no matter what I tell him, he won't listen. Which means this tragedy is bound to repeat itself.)

(I must take responsibility and make him reflect on his actions.)

Emma: "Brother, would you mind keeping me company for a little while?"

[Scene change — Emma's room]

I dragged my brother into my room and grabbed hairpins from nearby table.

Emma: "Brother, please bend down."

Clavis: "Like this?"

Emma: "That's right. Now stay like that."

(Then like this and...)

Emma: "phew...I'm done."

I put all hairpins I had on my brother's hair and sighed.

(Brother always carries himself as cool, so if I put cute hairpins in his hair, he will lose all of his dignity.)

(Or at least, that's what I thought but...)

My older brother straightened his back and let out a soft chuckle as he touched his hair.

Clavis: "You've put quite lot. What do you think? Does it suit me?"

Emma: "...."

Clavis: "My dear sister, I see you've been captivated by your brother. Don't be shy, you can compliment me more!"

(...........it suits you.........)

(But how, when I put so many girly hairpins on him?)

Then I remembered Clavis words: "he has to be at least as handsome as me."

The despair I felt grew stronger, making it impossible to bear.

Emma: "Are you sure you want to stay like this all day?"

Clavis: "Oh, that would be fine. My sister went through so much trouble to decorate my hair, after all."

Clavis: "In fact, I'm going to go and brag about it. Everyone is going to get so jealous, hahaha!"

(This is not a punishment at all!)

My brother's cheerful smile only intensified my feeling of defeat.

Emma: "...I just wanted you to reflect on your actions."

Clavis: "Hmm...My little sister, there's no need to worry so much."

Clavis: "You're still young and at an age when you should be protected by us, right?"

Clavis: "All we want is to protect you until you become an adult."

Emma: "....But that doesn't mean you should hung people in mid-air."

Clavis: "That's one thing and this is another."

Clavis: "All eight of us just want our little sister to be happiest person in this entire world."

Clavis: "We usually have different opinions but this is the only thing we all can agree on."

Emma: "Brother...."

Clavis: "Do you understand now?"

(.......)

Emma: ".....Thank you."

Clavis: "So you understand now."

Emma: "Yes, I understand your feelings, brother....Let's go to Sariel's office now."

Clavis: "Huh? That's not what we agreed on."

Emma: "That's one thing and this is another. Go and get throughoutly scolded."

I took my older brother's hand and started walking, hairpins were still stuck on his hair.

Brother could easily overcome my strength if he truly wanted to,

yet instead, he simply laughed with pure delight.

(My brothers...especially brother Clavis, he's too protective of me.)

(But.....)

Sleeping beauty : Jude (13th Fairy) , Ellis (Briar Bushes)

Snow White : Elbert (Greedy Queen), Alphons (Cursed Mirror), Roger (Double crossed hunter)

Alice in Wonderland : William (Queen of Hearts), Liam (Cheshire cat), Harrison (The Fox, let's count him in)

Swan Lake : Darius (Evil Sorcerer), Nica & Ring (Black Swans)

Libra was mentioned as an international group of Cursed, and unless they were brought in separately it's likely that they all belong to the same fairytale, so my guesses are:

The little Mermaid : The Sea Witch, her underlings maybe?

Beauty and the Beast : The Beast, The Rose (if Ellis can be the Briar, anything can be a curse at this point), The Fairy perhaps?? (that would be our second fairy LMAO)

Red riding hood was already mentioned in Roger's route I believe so I don't think it'll be that, even though I'd love a Big bad wolf curse bearer LI~

I've been looking through so many fairytales it's actually likely that all three will come from different fairytales, but if not my predictions will set on Beauty and the Beast!!

It's the only one where I could distinguish three possible curses because all other fairytales are pretty much witches or fairies lololol

Excited to see what the characters will be!!!!!!

I'm decades late but finally watched Utena ⚔️🌹
