If the heiress girls pick the MC over other potential progeny, this game has a completely different feel. Being chosen over other options means he's not the pawn of the four thriving families reluctantly accepting reluctant fiancés ... instead he's the rebel stealing the affections of the daughters who should be marrying stable sons.
PSST! ... You're supposed to preface this with an actual reaction
No, Girl with a tattoo in the kitchen sceneReally? Is it rachel??
No, sher introduces herself specifically as Elizabeth Russell, and the MC calls her "sister of Brian" to annoy her. It's in 0.8 content.Really? Is it rachel??
I don't understand what exactly you are saying. If the girls pick the MC over other potential suitors, then the MC is "the rebel stealing the affections of the daughters who should be marrying stables sons". I don't know if the other sons would be stable, but that is what would happen if there were more sons in the 5 houses to choose from.
Gloria Russell has been pretty firmly established by the narrative to be one of the game's primary villains, which was confirmed by Cosy (probably on Discord, I forget exactly where I read it).Thanks, guys. Glad MC doesn't need to resort to the mother
That would be what other games do. Give power to the LIs. And have the MC fight for their approval. But here its about the protagonist having power, being in the powerful position to make demands, as the LIs are under pressure to get on his good side.
Catherine mentions that Brian is the only heir to the family "At the school" all of the family kids at the school except for Brian have older brothers at the school. Catherine is nearly as special because she's the oldest daughter. Well she's taught she was special, but is having a crisis of faith moment now.I don't know if that is the case. I mean, statistically, she could be (10% of the population is gay or bi, there are about 10 girls in the game, do the math). However, I think it is more about her suddenly realizing she has no control over her adult life, and she is a slave to what her family "deems" required. Sarah said she was homeschooled and only went to the public school and got a job to get more acclimated to other people, and see how they live (probably her dad's idea). She was raised to believe that she will become queen of the empire, and now how she has to get that done, is by fighting an uphill battle, one which she is not equipped to handle (due to poor socialization skills).
The funny thing I am seeing is the lack of sons mentioned. I mean Brian is the only son mentioned so far. 4 families, only 1 son (Brian). Then the Fletcher lost heir = MC. So now you have 3 families foisting daughters at the MC so they get their place at the big table. You would think the Sarah's dad, with 4 wives, would keep having kids until a son was produced. Kind of like Henry VIII. Same for Catherine's parents? Hannah's parents? What would be really funny, is if first daughter, married first daughter. Hmmm
My point wasn't that they should have more choices, my point is the game is currently portraying some of the girls as being forced to choose him by their families ... something that -- to be fair now that I think about it -- still might be the case if there were more potential options, since he'd still be the only family head, so the families might still force them on him.
I think it's safe to assume that there's more sons from the families who are older, younger or from branch families that are less relevant to the immediate politics. MC's perspective on the main families is mostly limited to around his age range.
I agree with this for the most part, however it was mentioned in passing that it's a very big coincidence all 5 founding families have sons/daughters in the same year at the same place. Considering one of the families was considered lost the coincidence is even bigger. Perhaps there's a bigger plan going on in the background.
No. It was mentioned that it's not really a big coincidence precisely because of the multiple wives and plethora of children.
don't be too hard on yourself. probs just was someone cutting onions nearby
