VN Ren'Py Imperial Chronicles [v0.11] [Lazy Monkey]

[GibboBtw]

I wonder what Alaina was thinking. Revealing all those secrets was probably the dumbest thing that she could have done.

Imagine if Elis decides to reveal all of it to the lords and the judges of the golden order. It’s as if she forgot what Elis potentially told her about the nature of lies, back when they first returned from exile.

I can't speak for all other routes, but at least in the one I was playing as my main. I think it's just after all the shit that's been happening with the coup, her generally being sus af, and then siding with your Uncle against her. I think she realises she's kind of losing control of the situation, is rapidly falling from favour and also losing the trust of the MC. Which she obviously needs as a shield.

So it's like a last "huzzah attempt" to try and win you back to her side, and prove that she's "loyal"

But eh, fuck her. She's going on a cross next time I see her...

From my understanding, Elis can't quite reveal most of the information. It's likely why she revealed it in the first place. Because, according to Alaina words, Elis isn't the legitimate heir and the King isn't the rightful King. The rightful king would be Conrad with Cass (?) being next in line after him, if he died. And beyond the fact that Elis can't prove most of it. This information would also put his mother and sisters in danger. Since, while Sera likely was in the dark about most of it, she played part in the entire Elven conspiracy. Her marriage would also be invalidated. Again, assuming Alaina words are true.

Most of the serious stuff that could get Alaina killed would basically ruin Elis himself. And there's still the chance that Cass mother, Sybilla (?), isn't actually dead. So Elis himself has to be extremely careful on how he decides to handle Alaina. He can't be too reckless, speak too easily or too quickly. He needs more hard evidence that doesn't sabotage his family in the process. Because even if most of the nobles actually preferred his father in the past, he's way too weak now and they won't mind getting Elis off the throne. Especially if Conrad is easier to manipulate.

Yeah, I agree that it would be disastrous for Elis and just about everyone else in the royal family, except for Conrad and a living Cassandra. But i’d probably still pick such an option if it was made available… even if it resulted in “Regis” and Seraphina being executed as Conrad ascended the throne.

Alaina’s gamble only works if Elis chooses to carry these lies forward. Which would more than likely grant Alaina power over him.

Wait...Wait, you would choose a route that would get Seraphina killed, and let Conrad take the throne from you if you could?!?...

Why tf would you wanna do that...

That throne is M I N E, and anybody who wants to try and take it from me, plot in my general vicinity, or generally just be an annoying fucker. Is getting exterminated. No exceptions...

I’d prefer for Elis to remain the king/emperor. He is the rightful heir, as his father is the oldest son of the Red Emperor and the real Regis (dead younger brother of the king) was placed on the throne by traitors.

It’s unclear how many would support Conrad’s claim to the throne, and it might even result in a civil war.

The sword of Damocles hangs over Elis no matter if he keeps these secrets or reveals them. And I’d always choose the option that rids myself of any blackmail anyone might have over me.

 

[Benn Swagger]

Both Conrad and Alaina throwing the hail Mary out of desperation when you're siding to their opposition.

I'm glad on siding with Conrad, I was choosing to see the past when offered by the mysterious no name women that Elis encounter when riding to the west. It is confirm Alaina confession of Regis-Sybilla incident.

Cass probably will forgive her mother for killing her wife beater father. But goddamn if living Cass learn that her mother slain by Alaina for the sake to have elvish blood as the heir of the throne. Omg, she's gonna wreck havoc the kingdom just to find Alaina. I love to see dev make that path. It will be bloody as Elis dream encounter the Red Emperor and Mirtha. That when you choose Cassandra, the vision were she bath in blood.

But that doesn't mean Elin story has a good end too. Because in Elis first dream vision, Elin will become the one who end the Empire too. The Starhead chronicle are bound to have a grim end.

For Seraphina love route, I think it just not finished yet, unlike the Lust path that have happy ending. We'll see in the final Chapter 1 update.

Btw, have anyone knew about Catalina's fate ? (The red hair women in the west) In every civil war path, Catalina is just M.I.A.. Maybe because I didn't choose her at the tavern.

Also I was wonder who was fake-Regis first women before the true-Regis~Sybilla incident ? ... Alaina said he have children from that women, which also an elf. Was this women is Celestine ? ... since she so adamant to say Seraphina was stealing her fate. Are both Noira and Arion (twins, the name are mirroring each another) not Elis cousin but half sibling ?

WARRIOR, MAGE or BOOKWORM ?
AURORA or ISIS ?
WHITE, GREEN or RED Coronation ? (related to someone fate, Forgive - Slave - Death1 or Death 2)
THE WEST LORDS or THE YOUNG REPUBLICS or NEUTRAL ?
CONRAD or ALAINA ?

SERAPHINA's LOVE or CORRUPTION?
ELIN's LOVE or DOMINATION?
CASSANDRA's EQUAL, PUPPET or OUT or SLAVE ?

PRISCILA's IN or OUT ?

I usually hate branching games, but special exclusion for this one, I love this game branching, man.

What your favorite combination ?

For me, there's 2.
1. Bookworm - Aurora - White C - Neutral - Alaina
2. Warrior - Isis - Red C (Forgive) - Young Republic - Conrad

I don't like the feeling of Green Coronation. The relation become Superior and Subordinate. Every interaction become forced and not out of honesty.

Mage -> Aurora(As the safest option) -> White -> Cass(I can fix her) ->Neutral(I feel sorry for the redhead, but this option saves many people) -> Priscilla(Alive and untouched) -> Elin(only Love path for her) -> Sera(I tried the path of love before the last update, I will either replay it and switch to the path of corruption or abandon it completely. So far, the path of love is very weak)->Neither Conrad nor Alaina (It's hard to trust either of them, even though both of them reveal their cards at the end of the episode)

I liked the bookworm on the green coronation. However, like the red coronation, the green one makes the MC more dependent on the side that brings him to the crown and this can play a cruel joke. The white one is bloodier and more people die on it, but on it Elis is independent and it seemed to me that he behaves more maturely.

I have a lot of saves with all kinds of combinations, but my main one is like this:

Warrior - Isis - Green Coronation - Neither, so that both sides would slaughter each other - Conrad

Also did not touch Seraphine in any way. As for Elin - was going for the love path initially, but in the previous update decided to stop it altogether.

When you execute Cass, the "Mysterious Woman" you meet in the forest while on-route west, suggests that you next get rid of "the one behind all you misfortunes, pulling the strings, unaware that she herself is a puppet." I think this is probably Alaina, but whose puppet is she? Perhaps of the goddess Mirta?

I rather doubt that this Mirta even exists. A far more likely scenario, is that Seraphina is the incarnation of evil and the reflection of her sister. She stole her sisters future and showed Elis a fake memory.

Ooooh that's some...INTERESTING takes ngl. But I don't think the Dev is gonna villify Sera like that.

She's sweet as anything, loves her kids immensely and would die for them in an instant. It would be weak af if she just ended up being an "incarnation of evil" and turned out to be a villain, at least IMO.

I think it'd just be better for the plot and in general, if it was just her Sister that was the "bad" one and not her. Sometimes the obvious choice is the right choice, or otherwise we can end up with shit like

!!!Game of Thrones S8 SPOILERS!!! Arya killing the Night King for some fucking reason...

I wonder how this scene is going to play out if you no longer have an Alaina in your court. Might be a little awkward ngl...

1 warrior- Isis - Green - Alaina -

The same way it plays out if you execute or imprison Vall - this is probably only for those that freed her and didn't rape her.

Oh boy, she is getting fucked proper this time. Sorry my little sex slave, there ain't no escape from the indomitable elven spirit this time either; unfortunately for you, the alchemy session just got hands on.
