As far as Abe and Mihel were concerned, I put the issue with cooked books out of mind for now. I did not see any need to disabuse them of that misconception. What actually happened is that I activated all of my instances in every single place I held a legitimate business registered in merchant guild. Each of the places had been shortly visited by "messenger" with a note from me to be on the lookout for anyone claiming to be madame Konistan, and if such a person made an appearance, direct them to the…-

Announcement So. This story has the first piece of fanart. It was provided by Eirenliel @ ScribbleHub Discord. Enjoy. Enjoyed? Good. Now have an extra long Kraina-flavored interlude. It's been a long road home. Long, but surprisingly quick. Almost like he was some sort of noble. Ivan shook his head, peering at the letter given to him by lady Gillespie one more time. He already knew by heart what was written on it. "The holder of this letter is on an errand on my behalf. Give him all the assistance a…

I have miscalculated a bit. It takes a better part of two hours for all the people to wake up and find their way to the lounge and breakfast. Savory toasts are well received, though I tactfully avoid mentioning it was my idea. Cava is... less well received. In the end, only me and Bridgit drink any. The rest either demur outright, like my father and Abe, or try a thimble and refuse anymore, citing the need to keep the heart within the ribcage. Silly people. "So... We're currently approaching Berlinger…

I have a feeling that van der Klaases just weren't ready for this. They either failed to be appraised of my existence and impact on the market, which is weird for people who are supposed to be authorities on merchant interests, or they had for whichever reason ignored or disbelieved the reports so far. Because being SO surprised? Even Hiram is not as wrongfooted as they are, and I definitely didn't bore him with the minutiae of my businesses. Of course, it was funny when Marceu started to insist there must…

It had taken significantly longer than ten minutes for everyone to settle in, more like an hour, but at this point, things are on track. Everyone is keyed to their respective storages, briefed on security, shown the amenities The airship lifts off without much fanfare, and I steer it towards the northwest, the route already mapped out. Those who were not present at the inspection flight are soon at the windows Thankfully, the excitement quickly fades into more sedate lounging around once it becomes…

...OOkay. I'm not happy right now. I was horribly, catastrophically right about van der Klaases pulling power plays. The opener is both audacious and breathtakingly stupid, as Mihel shows up with Marceu in tow, and announces that his son would be taking the "manservant" slot. And immediately starts making digs at me for failing to anticipate that. I, quite reasonably, point out that he was sent a message asking him specifically if he has any special requests. And yes, that included the option of asking for…

I'm feeling... restless. Initially, I started by preparing to be absent from Academy... Then I had a d'oh moment after recalling I could simply leave an instance and be effectively in two places at once. Problem solved. I've been picking up some very amusing rumors about my four-way date by now. People just can't seem to agree whom I was with and where. And since each version has its own proponents who claim to have had clearly seen me? So far, only the Newspaper Trio proved themselves intelligent enough…

Klaus sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose irritably. He honestly thought there is more time to prepare for this visit. Much more, in fact. The realities of travel between Kraut and Champagne involved a choice between going by sea, using one of the mountain passes, or braving Ashenvale. First was complicated due to Sultanate and their currently... interesting interactions with Champagne, second was long and arduous, and third was far too inconvenient and dangerous at the moment to really think a king…

The rest of the trip out is spent hashing out the details. Abraham, thankfully, keenly grasps that there is a limit of people who can be taken on the airship at a time and wisely limits the delegation to people who are vitally important. And support staff, of course. So, the final roster is me, Bridgit Speaking of the last. I was wondering where'd Marceu went. He was supposed to be in Academy...... Wait, no. He was initially thought to be the secret route character because he does not make an appearance…

I'm... feeling a little guilty right now. Not for something I did, mind, just for being an eldritch abomination. Because all of my wives Case in point, extremely fruitless discussion with dean Ambercrombe right now. He, for reasons I am not really grasping, appears to be unable to comprehend the idea of a vehicle that is not pulled by some manner of creature, and is pretty set on trying to take me to task for bringing monsters into Academy at night. My offer to bring the airship back and let him poke…
