#alfons sylvatica

I remember this event very well. So happy it finally reached the EN server. Alfons is exceptionally cute here.

No, really... I can't express how much I love him. He's so cute! It's too much…

Oh, and I'm torn between which ending I like more. In the SE, I love how he deals with that guy (he deserves it). But in the PE, we see the letter Kate wrote… it's such a passionate love confession. And I love it too.

The epilogue from Kate's POV.

Actually, when I started reading Vivi's story, I felt slightly embarrassed… considering the content and the memories of the story I've been trying to finish writing for quite some time… but I noticed one interesting thing. Vivi… very rarely calls Kate by name in his mind. Ally, on the other hand… does it pretty often. He really thinks names are that important…

alfons is very much like a cat, that is well established.

we don't really know anything about his birth family because he was abandoned, but something i realized recently is that it can relate to how mother cats kick out the runts in the litter.

in the victorian england setting, there's a lot of poverty, and it wasn't uncommon for poor families to abandon their children because they can't support them. now the details are a little hazy because i haven't played ikevil in ages but this implies a few things about alfons' family

his family was poor

if they had multiple children, he was weak

iirc they just left him on the street, they didn't even drop him off at an orphanage. they are irresponsible parents (an "accident"?)

it's not necessarily out of cruelty. but alfons has The Cat. and he, an orphan on the streets, took care of the cat even though he could barely support himself. i think the point that the author was trying to make is that al is full of compassion, even if he doesn't seem to be.

...i mean alfons is by no means a runt, but he is noticably shorter than roger as a kid even though he's only a few years younger

and now he's almost roger's height! that endless stomach gave him quite the growth spurt.

his parents probably thought, "he has no future in the first place". and his whole thing is about wanting a future. snow white is about staying cheerful even in hard times. i think what really makes the snow white trio "the snow white trio": people that support each other in times of hardship

a loose end that i have questions about is that they still gave him a name, like a parting gift... and he chose to keep it despite not knowing them, even when he rose up in society. he chose the last name "sylvatica", so it makes me wonder why he didn't change his first name too

but then again, he's still attached to the poor neighborhoods that raised him so maybe he still feels for them on some level

Summary:

After that fateful night meeting the leader of Libra, in the middle of scattered corpes of nobles that died in the hands of him, Lucien Morsandre. Those blue, icy eyes of him brings fears to the people around him, even for Crowns and other curses-bearer. The night his eyes meet yours, the day you pique his interest even as a mortal, innocent young woman. “I have an interest in you as well, Miss Fairytale Keeper. We will meet again soon anyway”. That night, your fate is sealed.

Notes:

NSFW ( not in this chapter ) , sexual content, explicit content, ooc-ish ?( Lucien’s route has not come out yet ), yandere-ish ( cmon, everyone in ikevil has that yandere traits in their body tho ), power play ( not yet ), I’M SORRY I CANT STILL CAPTURE THE LIBRAS ROLE AND CHARACTERS SO IT WILL BE A LIL OOC, I PROMISE ONCE THEIR ROUTE ARE RELEASED ( or atleast a new trailer or Will or Liam act 3 out ) I WILL FIX IT!

The morning after, the moment you open your eyes, his words and eyes still haunt you. The promise of meeting him again, soon, put your mind in alert. Your mind takes you back at that moment, the corpses of those nobles, with him sitting in the middle of it, unbothered as if he pulls the string, like a puppeteer to do so. Just..what kind of curse does Lucien has ? N-no, the better question is what is Libra aim for, especially for Crowns. Even for Crowns, especially Will and Victor, Lucien Morsandre is not someone to mess with, even if Libra offer helps for the cursed, Libra has different aim from Crowns. The more you think of it, the more you curious about Libra and its member, especially their leader. But sometimes curiosity kills the cat. You shook your head and dressed for the day, ready to help Crown with the missions. But first, you need to meet Jude and William if the mission last night was a succeed or not.

On your way to the dining room, you saw Jude and Ellis discussing something. Maybe it's about Raven Ltd? Missions? Or maybe last night incident? Either way, you need to focus and don’t get work out from it. None of your business too right ?

Before you can enter the dining room, Ellis called out for you

“__ ! Morning, are you gonna get some breakfast ?”

“O-oh Morning Ellis, you too Jude, yes ofcourse “

“ Well, have you got a good sleep last night ? I feel bad letting you come and see that mess and also.. meeting him”

H-huh, is your eyebag that noticeable?

“I’m good! Its just the cold wind from last night!”

Before you can reply, Jude cut you off

“ Lying through your teeth, are ya? Even for a fairytale keeper like yerself, meeting that man sure to keep you up last night, wouldnt it? Even as promising you a cheesy date in the middle of bloody bath, princess.”

Before you can giving him a mean reply, Jude cut you off for the second time.

“ We were discussing whether we should take you on a mission again, princess. Having that man wanting yer to meet him is not gonna happen in my watch. “

“ B-but! I need to do my job as fairytale keeper!”

“No but princess, Ellis here thought so. That loon is not someone to mess with.”

H-huh

W-what

“H-hey Jude! What do you mea-“

Before you can finish your sentence, Jude and Ellis enter the dining room.

Well, maybe you should ask Will about it. After taking your seat beside Liam and Roger, you ponder for a while before Roger called out for you

“Morning lil’ lady, it seems today you are gonna help me with my lab work. Will ask me to pass the news to you.”

“H-huh? Why so sudden? and wheres Will?”

“He just..well leave to take some urgent business this morning. After you finish your breakfast, lets start our day in the lab.”

Strange. Will never skip his breakfast, especially his morning tea. Just..what kind of business does he have this early in the morning?

You look around the table. Only Will is missing and…Alfons woke up this early?

Noticing your gaze, Alfons put on a charming smile.

“Aha! Are you gonna ask why i am so early this morning, Miss Robin?”

“Yes, its not like you eat breakfast Alfons”

Knowing his rendezvous and his drinking habit, Alfons usually come back late and sleep in the morning.

“Ouch my heart and stomach, im simply wanting to enjoy a warm breakfast once in a while.”

Strange..

Its as if..Crowns hiding something from you

You can’t stand it

You stand from your seat and walk towards Victor

Victor aware of your intention and exhale

“Seems you already aware Miss Robin, rest assure William will come back soon”

“Is it about Lucien?”

The room fell silent. Before you can ask more, Victor explain

“Lucien has put his interest in you, Miss Robin. As the leader of Crown, its best for you to not leave the castle and in a secluded place. That’s why Will and I decide to leave you with Roger untill the time being.”

“And where is Will? “

Victor fell silent. Before he can speak, you hear Euren voice, cheery and unnerving, barging into the room

“Morning Crowns! Oh Miss Robin is here too, well whats your answer about that date? But you can asnwer later, ill wait. And it seems everyone here so here i goes, your beloved Will is kidnapped by us! and as broker, our leader wants to exchange the monarch with Miss Robin right here!”

The atmosphere suddenly changed. Before anyone can speak, Jude bark out his anger and grab his collar

“What do you mean, you loon? Ya think you can spout nonsense here?”

“Awwh, Jude Senpai! I love it when you do me~ but rest assured..i don’t lie”

“Tch, yo-“

Harry immediately stop him

“Hes right Jude, put him down”

After Jude let him go, Euren pat his shirt and look at you once again

“So..whats your answer Miss Robin?”

Victor takes your hand and shield your from Euren.

“Its best for you to leave now Euren. We don't want a bloodbath to happen here right? Not in front of these dish that i prepared so heartily. “

“Oh, im sorry Mr Victor, i can leave but i cant guarantee the monarch life, you see, Lucien really really wants to meet Miss Robin here, but i can leave tho now but tonight, we will exhange the monarch and miss Robin here or else tonight the monarch die teehe~”

The room fell silent.

You can't stand it anymore

“What did you do to Will?! Let him go!”

Euren smirk at you.

“You see Miss Robin, last night after that mission in that mansion, it seems your beloved Monarch already three step ahead and wanted to ask our leader his plan for you. But unfortunately, no one can figure out his plan, not even me as member of Libra and there he is, becoming a pawn in exchange for you”

There is no way, Will can be defeated that easily. Just what is Libra capable of, especially Lucien?

“We have done nothing as Crown!”

“That’s your opinion Miss Robin and we Libra has our own motto, not that it matter to you”

“Oh~ please be patient Miss Robin. As for what happen to him now, his curse is useless for now and nothing can save him except you.”

The realization hit you. Just..how powerful Lucien is?

Euren smile and wave a goodbye

“Well, see you tonight Crowns, especially you Miss Robin”

Before Jude can catch up to him, Euren already leave instantly, leaving the entirety of Crown stunned.

Elbie dressed him up prettily and gave him one hundred strokes brushed his hair, I won’t hear otherwise:
