Mad heir RO’s reactions to an mc that has a habit of just walking around naked?
as a treaT YOU GET OLL TOO, I DID IT ON PURPOSE I PROMMI BRAIN BROKEN
A von Mejer: "Cover up! Other people live with you!" Throws clothes at them and stomps off, deeply flustered. Filled with annoyance, wants to punch them so bad for this but also... Yknow. No. Horrible beast.
C von Mejer: "Ah? We do a bit of this at home. Normally by the seaside. Cover yourself a bit, it's cold here." Gently gives them a shawl, but otherwise doesn't seem all that concerned. Will be when Ivarsson comes home, and will usher them upstairs to get dressed.
J Braitwaite: Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Should be used to this by now. But god, their frayed nerves are going to snap any day now. Going to absent mindedly chide you, its cold out, you'll step on a splinter, your father will see you, etc, but going to more or less ignore it.
Bryn Heron: They are going to be fucking chased off the property by Braithwaite. Going to be looking into the windows whatever chance they have, or smoking under your window, waiting. Likes it. Obviously. Peeking tom.
H Angelov:... Hm. Well, this does endear them to go through with the sale really. Smart too. Their country's weather is all the warmer than... Whatever this is. Good way to acclimatize. Going to raise their glass to you whenever you traipse past them, more entertained than anything. Also nice preview of... Ah. Ahem.
Bonus:
Ivarsson: You are so lucky he has a bad leg. Would chase you upstairs and scold you till the cows came home.
Grandpa: Girl same.
BONUS THAT WAS INTENDED HEHE, NOT A MISTAKE:
(Treating it as if they're wandering around their room/rooms not in main spaces. Tsarina would blast them into space or give them a stern talking to, depending on the MC)
Arkasha: Whoaw. Look, they're used to seeing people naked, most of the servants downstairs share a washroom and most keep their doors open to their bedrooms. Knows a body. What it looks like. But they are always going to be stunned into silence at any naked part of the MC, nevermind ALL of it. Doesn't say anything, just quietly carries on, but they are looking. Intently. Will quietly excuse themself to go back to their room later. Oof. Keep in mind, they have most definitely seen the Servant's body before, but it keeps on enthralling them.
Dasha: Finds it... Strangely cute? Just wandering around their rooms, feeling at ease to go a ambling. Can't help the smile, but would only really make side comments, "Fire too warm? I could just get someone to tend to it." or "Hm. It seems like it is quite... Nippy. Ahem."
Sasha: Oh dear. Will wander over and be unable to cease the pawing. "Is this a trend abroad/downstairs? Keep it just here though." Will most probably join the MC in this, happy to strip down to NEXT to nothing, or nothing at all. Just enjoys watching the MC most of all but some days will pounce on them when the mood strikes.
Priest J: Finds it... Cute. Will gently quiz about it, smile gently but something hungry lingering along their teeth. "Do you enjoy the freedom it brings? Or is it something else? Attention or gratification?" Interested. Does like it when they get to touch the MC in someway, with a hand on their back, MC on their knee, fingers against the neck. Fleeting.
Pavel: Freaks out. Immediately turns out, stiff as a board... In more than one way. Asks them to wear SOMETHING during their chat and then will flee. Is used to nudity, hell, he's been on a battlefield for most of his adult life. But it's different when it's from someone he has.... Tender feelings for? Nope. Does bring with a fur coat to have them wear whenever he comes to talk.

"I have come to talk to my daughter. Princess Vanya of Slegia." Siflæd screamed, watching the heathens stare. "Savages." She spat under her breath, scanning the crowd for her daughter. "I know she is here. A messenger saw her arrive."
"I am here, Mother." Vanya called from the middle of the crowd, Hoenir on her tail. The people parted for their princess and little prince. Aros whined in her arms at the commotion.
Siflæd frowned at the state her daughter was in. Braided red hair a mess, and the clothes of a savage lined with fur. "Magenta is not your color."
"I quite like it." Vanya walked to her former people. They were her people, weren't they? Finally free of Silas and his tyranny. And now they are standing there, an army ready to fight to protect their Queen. Queen Siflæd. "What do you want with me?"
"To talk. Eye to eye. Not army to army." Vanya nodded and motioned for them to follow her into the camp. They sat the two redheads down at a table, surrounded by heathens and christians alike.
"Then talk." Aros whined in her arms again so she shifted him around and swayed him, not letting her eyes leave her mother.
Siflæd looked at the small bundle and scoffed at the dark hair that peeked from the furs. "Dark hair. He is not kissed by fire." Her eyes trailed up her daughters frame and rested on the messed up braids. "Unlike you. I always liked that about you. You had my hair. Our family's hair. Proof that you could wither storms. Unlike Silas. He was always weak."
"We was your firstborn."
"And where is he now? The heir to two kingdoms. Sent to me in bloody pieces. My son. Dead."
Vanya dug her nails into her palms to hide her anger from her mother. Siflæd never likes when Vanya showed any emotion unbecoming of a princess. Or any emotion at all. "You never treated him like your son, Mother."
"He was rotten since birth. I tried to love him. And what did it bring me? Osmond saw no future in him. A knight, that's what he wanted to make of Silas. And then the fool died and Silas took the throne."
Vanya sighed and motioned for the thralls to pour them both mead. Alcohol would soften her mother a bit. Hopefully. "I heard you got married."
"Ecbert's family. He is... Bearable."
"Do you love him?"
"Marriage isn't about love."
"Mine is."
Siflæd laughed and sipped from her chalice. "Ah yes, your marriage to the youngest of Ragnar's sons. I was so against it. Especially when the priests told me who you would marry. The youngest with no way to the throne, a cripple."
Vanya bit the inside of her cheek and watched the guards her mother bought warily. They were on edge. Maybe it was the camp, or Hoenir glaring them down. Either was fine by her. "Do you know why Silas chose him?"
"He thought he couldn't produce an heir."
"Obviously..." Siflæd glanced as Aros. "He was wrong. How was childbirth?"
"Painful."
"It usually is."
"I barely got rest. Silas sent his knights to kill us both. I managed to escape and nearly drowned and froze. That's the reason he is dead." The guards stiffened at the revealed truth. "All that was mentioned in the letter you got with his body to give him a proper burial. You held no love for him. Or me. Neither did I. So don't blame me."
Siflæd rolled her eyes and showed her the wedding band Osmond gave her. "I don't blame you. I never wished to marry, to endure hours of labor only for my husband to fuck some other woman. I dreamt of true love. As did you. Foolish dreams."
"You told me I don't have to love Ivar, only the children. You never loved neither."
"I didn't smother you in your sleep. That is love. I gave you life. I would have rather gone to the nunnery than marry that old sinner. But he was wealthy and wanted children. So I gave him a son. He wasn't good enough. You know why, Vanya?"
The younger redhead frowned. "He told you of his affair."
"Yes." Siflæd nodded, holding up a finger. "But. He said that God told him that Silas was cursed. Possessed by the devil. All because he didn't cry. Poor bloody little babe, nearly choked to death before he took his first breath. And all Osmond saw was a cursed child. Oh but how he cried afterwards. I hated it. His shrill little voice. I tried to love him. But he was so exhausting. And I though that a second child would be better. Yet you came to destroy my marriage. And yet I would have killed every last savage if it was your corpse that came back."
Vanya swallowed the bile in her throat. "They threat me better than you ever did."
"I am your mother, Child. Remember that."
"Only when it fits you."
Siflæd sighed and downed the alcohol. She looked exhausted. "Ceolmund told me to come. I may hold anger to Silas. But he was mine. I bought him into this world. And you took him from me. Just like he took you from me. Just like Osmond took you from me. You were his to control. All I had to do was put the fear of God into you. The only thing that gives me joy, is that he would be disappointed in your new worship."
Vanya shook her head and whispered something to Hoenir so her mother couldn't hear. "Whispering is unbecoming of a lady. You have be a lot of things since I arrived, but don't be disrespectful."
"Blessed are the meek, Mother." Vanya parroted and smiled mockingly. "I'm sorry. I should have thanked you the moment you arrived. That was a mistake."
"Yes it was."
"You just never told me why you came? To blame me for Silas's actions? Mock me? What are your intentions. I doubt it was a friendly visit."
Siflæd chuckled and pointed at the necklace around Vanya's neck. It was the same one she gave her before sending her off to Kattegat. "I never once doubted you. They all demanded that I break your will, make you week. Meek. But you are of the House of the rising sun. You are kissed by fire. And I would never sent a child of mine without a weapon. Silas had his knights. And you..."
She pulled the necklace from her neck and slammed her cup against the crystal. Vanya stared at the broken necklace with some weird powder hidden in it. Siflæd dipped her finger into the powder and showed it to her last remaining child. "Poison for the man who would lay a hand on you. Watching the ceiling can only last so long. Sometimes you must interfere and kill the man before he kills you."
"Like you did with father."
"He was old. His heart gave out while on top of a milkmaid. He suffered for a while. I prayed by his bed. I wanted him to live. Not kill him. Slegia and Wrosan were safe under Osmond, no matter what man he was under the crown."
Vanya looked down sadly and sighed. "Silas destroyed that security."
"He killed it without a second thought. And when he decided to sail to Kattegat... I thought he would bring you home. Not kill you."
"And yet here I stand. While he is dead. Stithulf manipulated him."
Siflæd chuckled and nodded. "That little knight. Ambitious, sinful. Just like his motivations. He saw no puppet in Silas."
"What then?" The thrall returned pulling a barrel of mead with her to satiate the Saxon Queen.
"The same Osmond saw in those whores. What I saw in my lovers and what you see in that husband of yours."
Vanya's breath hitched. This whole time that Stithulf was using Silas to gain power. He had ulterior motives. His admiration for Silas, the resentment to his actions, his need to kill Vanya and Aros. He needed stone cold proof that Silas will remain king. Even without an heir. In case... He returned his affections.
"He loved Silas."
"And that oaf was too stupid to see it. Oh, the looks that Stithulf threw at Silas. Pathetic. Lovesick. Slegia and Wrosan would fall if Silas realized that his most trusted knight loved him like that."
"He was meant to marry Ecbert's niece."
"Great niece. It was all orchestrated anyway. Silas thought that Eofohild would give him a child. He was clueless."
"He said she seduced him and was forced to marry him to save her face."
"True. But it never came to anything."
"What?"
Vanya stared at her mother in shock. "Are you deaf? Silas and Eofohild never fucked. He was far too drunk. And she wasn't his type. He was meant to think that something happened so Ecbert could gain power over Slegia and Wrosan. He would put a baby in her over time and the family would have an heir that gave Ecbert another kingdom to rule."
"Wasn't his type?"
"A mother sees and knows. Why do you think Silas kept the boy so close? There was no loyalty or trust on Silas's side. Only a lust he couldn't place. And when Stithulf nodded along, oh he loved that. Eofohild was unmarried and willing. But Silas couldn't get it up. She came to me crying so we pretended it happened. He was far too drunk to know. But Stithulf knew. So the only way to give Ecbert what he wanted without Silas rebelling."
"Was to marry Eofohild's father. You are giving Wrosan and Slegia to Ecbert."
"Either that or bankruptcy." Siflæd handed Vanya a parchment with the kings seal on it. With shaking fingers, Vanya unraveled it to see a message from the king or more of a a threat.
"I King Ecbert of Wessex and Mercia, extend a helping hand to a fellow kingdom in need. After years of suffering, I offer my niece's hand in marriage in exchange for freedom. If you refuse this offer, be aware of the upcoming end of your beloved kingdom. Either by the collapse of your treasury or city walls."
Vanya stared at her mother in shock. It was a blatant threat disguised as a helping hand. "The treasury. What's with it?"
"Nearly empty. Spend on Silas's voyage to his death."
Vanya swallowed. The people would starve, repairs, it would all fall. Just like Ecbert said. "While your new family wages war against half of the world. I saved the kingdom."
"You sold it to the lowest bidder."
"Same thing."
Vanya scoffed. "You agreed to a deal that made you lose your kingdom. Both of them. To hide the fact that you are poor. But if the king knows, then it can't be the people that are complaining."
"My balls may have lost some of its glamour."
"While your people starve! You wasted money while your people slowly plummeted to poverty."
Siflæd waved her hand and drank the rest of her mead. The barrel was empty. And Vanya barely touched her cup. "I ruled as I was asked to do while Osmond was alive. Silas is the one that killed all our benefactors. I am queen not a miracle worker. I can't put money into an empty hole. All I can do is give people people what they desire. I can put up a front that everything is alright. The people have their crops, what is some money to them. They barely know what gold is."
"You are killing them and feel no remorse. That aren't christian values."
"Faith is useless against poverty. What can a prayed do against an army? Against Ecberts army."
A man runs into the camp happily. He is covered in blood and smiling. "Ælle was blood eagled by the Ragnarssons."
The people cheered. The saxons looked around confused. "What did they say?"
"Ælle has fallen. Ecbert is next." Vanya told her mother coldly and burned the letter from Ecbert in the fire near them. "Leave."
"Are you willing to sacrifice your freedom for some commoners?"
Vanya stared her drunk mother down and looked at the guards. "Please bring Queen Mother back to her quarters safe. Slegia will remain independent. Tell that to the new rulers." She looked at her stumbling mother with disgust in her eyes. "When they are fit to listen."
I’m curious but for the mad heir what is the age difference between all the RO’s and mc?
Mad Heir is... Wait, where's my notebook. its cuz i want to keep the royal as the youngest, servant and witch roughly the same age and then the heir in the middle. (so mc ages would range as this: royal mc is 21, approaching 22, the servant roughly 25,. witch anywhere between 27-28 and the heir roughly 22-23. keep in mind a Dantes MC is old enough to walk and talk and have big thoughts at the birth of their cousin, the mad heir mc)
SO!
Heir- 22-23
A von Mejer- 25
Clem von Mejer- 44
J Braithwaite- 55
Bryn Heron- 48
H Angelov- 34
if you can't tell, this is the game of age gaps. for the misc ones, Ivarsson is 51 and the King is 76!
Ahh i know im being impatient, and we'll see it in-game but i need to know, in mad heir, what sort of relationship can we have with our dad?
So it does range! You can openly hate him, and it can be super super tense. You can be kinda aloof and quiet and hurt, struggling to talk to him, and it can be somewhat mournful. Or you can just adore him, and it can be pretty warm and nice!
What do you Ivarsson and the Heir’s relationship could have been if Henry didn’t announce MC as his heir instead of their father?
Hm... Genuinely quite sweet. When it became clear that the Heir is as cuckoo as the other half of the family, Ivarsson would have refused to have them put away. Would have moved out of the main palace with them, to one of the family castles or manors, just so there's an elevation of stress for the Heir. Less people. Personally overseen their education, in fact, would prepare for his own ascension to the Crown while Heir does their homework, sometimes taking a break to play chess or cards together. Would furtively seek out a mother figure for them but would only go through with it if the Heir even liked her. Otherwise, if Heir doesn't really want one, he's happy to leave it be.
Would take them with him on Royal tours, formal banquets, etc. Does treat their mental illness the same way his own physical difficulties are treated, trying to find ways to help them adjust and making sure there is special times to unwind and have a quiet moment.
Is still stubborn and strong willed, and doesnt "get" things like being transgender, but would be accepting. Just confused. Also hates every person you have crush on. What do you mean you have a crush? You are 4 years old to him.
Would no doubt be more distant as they grow up, wrapped up in work but would at least try to have time set aside for them, even if it's hard to find it.
Also, sidenote and somewhat spoiler? So, I have my usual suggestions for names (Always catered to the game of course) and the list of names you can choose from, are all linked to things about Ivarsson.
The names are as follows:
Suggestions for feminine names
Safija
Pandora
Selene
Luna
Celeste
Suggestions for masculine names
Magnus
Emeric
Cosmo
Orion
Atlas
Suggestions for gender-neutral names
Rowan
Harper
Angel
Solaris
Aster
And I'm really proud of them, because you can tell there are things important to Ivarsson that he would most likely name his child for. (you still get a custom name dw). But first, an interest of his is Family History, and would name his kid after an ancestor. The second is memories, to name his child after people he loved, the woman who bore the heir, the only friend he considered to be close to, and the nurse that helped him in his youth with his struggles. Then lastly, his special interest. The night sky. Stars and moons and everything to do with it. Topics on the Watchers, on mythos to do with the heavens, the moon, everything.
So, I feel something Ivarsson would have loved to do with the Heir is to set aside time to Stargaze with them.

Hi, Ink! Hope you are doing well! VERY torn on Sabnock because there are two wolves in me: one is a cat person asking 'if feral, why a cute kitty? 🙁' and the second one is saying 'scorp, this dude is named after a Goetic lord, its basically on the tin'.
Also, a questerino: what do you, as an author, find the most endearing\cool about each of the Mad Heir ROs (maybe bonus Ivarsson and grandpa if you feel like it?)?
What I like about Sabnock is that they took the form of the cutiest patootiest of big cats. The Snow Leopard. Who carries their own tail in their mouths, stands on their tail for warmth, and it just a tiny guy. And Sabnock gets to be an utter fucking terror in that form. Like, genuinely, you'd rather wanna sit with a nomal Snow Leopard, who will just wanna avoid people, over Sabnock.
ANYWAY!
A von Mejer: I think what REALLY endears me to A is... So much. I really like them. From their fixation on the occult ever since the death of their parent, to their varying relationship to the Heir. It isn't like V De Winters, where they are antagonistic to you out of self preservation, but A JUST wants to swat the Heir away. They've had opposites way of growing up, they're going to be very different, and the Heir just existing boggles their fucking mind and lurches them from their set schedules and routines.
C von Mejer: That, despite being a hopeless romantic, Clem is still VERY level headed. They don't ever run away with their fantasies. Their first marriage was an arranged one and Clem did grow to really like their spouse before their death. Similarly, their set up with Ivarsson is of convenience and wanting to make sure A is set for the future. They keep their hopeless romanticism and yearning for love, between them and their books. I've read so many books where a parent is a romantic and will abandon everything for something they want, a new partner, a new life, but Clem would never.
Braithwaite: I genuinely adore Braithwaite to pieces. They have single-handedly done everything to be a guardian to the heir, and while they come off as deeply stoic, strict, and stern, they will care enough for the Heir to show as gentle side. Reading to them, cutting the crusts off their sandwiches, hand washing them if the Heir struggles with it.
Bryn Heron: I enjoy that they're on par with E for how fecking horny they are. But also they're such a deeply depressing character but I can't go into that, because spoilers. Like mentally? Deeply broken as a person and always barely having a grasp on their own psyche.
H Angelov: They are SUCH a breath of fresh air. I think I genuinely they're up there with one of the most fucky characters. Like, cards closed to the chest, no words, very fucky, just watching the MC with fascination. It's very much a character in line with Dasha and Saleos. Also, our first Arranged Marriage RO! Despite being secretive and always watching, they're very truthful. In their own short story on Patreon and here, they're VERY up front with Ivarsson. With them, the Heir would have to find their own happiness while staying with Angelov. Somehow both secretive and deeply truthful is SO fun for me to write.
Ivarsson: I'm going to keep it short and sweet, and no matter how you look at it? It's canon. But that Ivarsson isn't a great dad, but a very very good Father.
Grandpa: That he is very aware of what he's saying and doing. And to him, it all makes sense.
Not wanting a certifiably insane person in a decision-making position is completely understandable.
But by basically locking and hiding the heir away, it's more than likely that the insanity got exponentially worse. Like, this child is probably not socialized at all, which is actually very important for mental development and health.
Is Ivarsson projecting his daddy-issues onto his child?
Ngl, Imma be real (especially since i get so many indignant asks about getting their throne back as heir and ivarsson's role in the story) there is no world. where the heir is good at this job. not only the insane in the membrane, but also the fact that they don't know shit about anything. Is that Ivarsson's fault? Maybe. But the Heir can show some insane entitlement that has nothing to do with Ivarsson at all. I have a personal belief the only good monarch that ever were, was the ones that didn't grow up with the knowledge that the crown was going to be theirs. Get them to at least 10 years old and then they can know. I swear it makes all the difference. Otherwise you get little snotty shitheads telling their friends that theyre going to be the king of england and that's why you have to do what they say. (rreal event that happened and was put in the news in the UK and was played as "cute". no.)
Ivarsson's main point to keep them away, is to just stall his father's plans. ALSO KEEP IN MIND, PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW FUCKING SHIT. ITS THE 1800S. NO ONE IS DOING THERAPY TALK OR DOING THINGS WE'D FIND RATIONAL.
And nope, not really. He's not really projecting at all, its jsut the fact that his abusive relationship with his father has been going on for decades now. Longer than the heir has been alive. It's stupid shit thinking he's going to bury the hatchet. It would be like all those AITA stories where parents reach out after you've had a baby because "they need their grandparents" have putting out cigarettes on you for al your life. Like fuck off with that.
Whatever the heir might think, Ivarsson does have core principles, which does revolve around not allowing his father to continue his abusive and dismissive assholery of him, to not allow his father to use his child, and that he loves his child, but that man was raised by nannies and governesses and he's raw dogging a life without those for his kid and he's having a struggle with it.
You know, reading the H. Angelov short story made me wonder: 1) Does Ivarsson love Clem? Like, on scale of 1 to 10, how broken up would he be if the Heir manages to steal Clem away? 2) In the event if the Heir ends up going away with Angelov and then 'mysteriously' perishes, will Ivarsson feel any guilt?
Tbh the dude is so interesting to me because unlike most people I cannot fully resent him. (Maybe because he kind of resents himself already, so...).Like, in IFs we often get parents who are The Best, parents who are Not even Trying, but my personal fav genre is parents who are trying to do... something but are too messed up to do it right.
Ngl I MIGHT be too lenient because I am eyeing Angelov like 👀 'so is the sea at the islands nice, betrothed?👀'(poor hydrophobic Heir tho...)
OOOO yay, Ivarsson time. Ngl, unofficially my favourite Parent in any of the games.
SO! Ivarsson and Clem aren't in love. Weirdly, they do get along and have approached a level of friendship. So would be like a 7, mostly annoyed, and finds it a bit weird, but hey, what can you do. But they are close and Clem does like him too, but its not romantic on either sides, they both know that they're using each other.
And if the Heir mysteriously perishes, I'm sorry, but Angelov is dying too. Like Ivarsson isn't king but that man is powerful Not only does the money supply stop, but also Angelov would have to go into hiding EVEN IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. Good luck, idiot.
Ivarsson and the Tsarina are very very fun to me, because they're really not the most perfect of people, but also are trying very hard in their own ways, even if the MC decides their efforts are either not enough OR their efforts aren't focused on the correct thing. Ivarsson for one (after I shared the entire plot and the lore with the ducks) has still a very decisive opinion, with some still not liking him and some others really loving him and wanting to strive for a close relationship throughout the game.
Now, are few of my parent characters seem to come under "perfect parent" or "doesnt even try" syndrome, but I always prommi there's things going on. This isn't aimed at uncle and aunt sharpe, those two can go to hell, but Papa Sharpe was good but that man was away far too much. He had enough money to find a nicer job onshore and be with his kid more. Laszlo is a very doting father who spoils his kids, but also lets them get away with a lot, while also unable to stand up to his wife and will side with her even when the Tsarina is in the wrong. Very few times has he ever stood up for an idea that she didn't like, which is why the Servant MC is still in the house.
ANYWAY! Angelov does live in a beautiful place (and one of the few places that have gone without a name change in Rotverse, shout out Macedonia, please let me come back, I miss you) and their own estate lies on the shores of Lake Ohrid.
I do kinda wanna do a dlc where the heir did end up going with Angelov RIGHT at the beginning and gets to slowburn arranged marriaged to lovers going on.
