The Melancholy of Angeline

Belgrieve the Red Ogre

Welcome Home, Angeline

Quiet Days in Turnera with the Occasional Family Spat

The sorcerer is attacked by enemies, allowing a portion of Ba’al’s power to escape. Angeline’s friends are surprised she reverts to childish behaviours around Belgrieve, clinging to him like a toddler and sulking. Belgrieve learns thanks to Angeline bragging about him he has become famous as the Red Ogre, a title she invented, making him uncomfortable as he feels he didn’t rightfully earn such fame. Angeline demands a duel to prove his strength and Anessa and Miriam are amazed when S Rank Angeline loses in a single move. Belgrieve insists Angeline stop calling him Red Ogre. Over dinner Miriam is reluctant to remove her hat due to her Beast-folk ears, since most people have bias against Beast-folk, so she is surprised and happy when Belgrieve does not and even pats her on the head. Belgrieve is concerned the supposed demon lord Angeline defeated sounds familiar to the creature that took his leg. Fearing for her safety, Belgrieve forbids Angeline from adventuring again until she defeats him, even promising to disown her if she disobeys. Forced to fight seriously, Angeline defeats him in a single move, proving her skills have surpassed his. She then forces him to apologise for being mean. Having seen his fierce warrior spirit Miriam and Anessa think Red Ogre suits Belgrieve perfectly. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Road to Bordeaux

Cultists of Solomon, Byaku and Saintess, attempt to con people for money by speaking out against nobles, then teleport away when confronted by Cheborg and the guild master. Belgrieve is asked to deliver a letter to Helvetica concerning repairs to Turnera’s roads, so Angeline demands he visit Orphen with her on the same trip. Arriving in Bordeaux territory Belgrieve encounters Saintess and realises from her clothing she belongs to the Vienna Cult from Lucrecia city. Belgrieve visits Helvetica, joined by Angeline in case Helvetica tries to marry Belgrieve again. Helvetica is happy to help Turnera but Count Malta of Hazel territory is currently holding labourers in his territory as he despises Bordeaux and has grown increasingly unreasonable since Count Bordeaux’s death. Without the labourers nothing can be repaired anywhere in the region, including in Turnera. Despite Belgrieve’s disinterest in dating Angeline insists Helvetica isn’t maternal enough to be her new mother. Ash, a swordsman in service to the Bordeaux’s, is dismissive of Belgrieve’s swordsmanship and insists his own skills are far superior. Sasha demands he prove it by duelling Belgrieve. Malta decides to attack Bordeaux and seize power from Helvetica, ignoring Byaku’s advice to wait until after Belgrieve and Angeline have left. (Source: Wikipedia)

Rebels Acting in Secret

Belgrieve wins his duel against Ash by accident when his prosthetic leg slips in the mud and his sword trips Ash to the ground. Despite Belgrieve admitting it was an accident Ash accepts his defeat and sincerely apologises for his arrogance. Malta orders Saintess to release monsters on Bordeaux territory. Saintess despises Malta as he is the same corrupt nobility as the Pope of the Vienna cult who arranged her parent’s deaths to steal their wealth. Left homeless a priest inducted her into the Cult of Solomon then sent her to infiltrate the Vienna cult and bring it down from the inside. He also gave her Samigina’s Ring she now uses to summon monsters. Bordeaux’s soldiers and adventurers fight the monsters. Ash and Belgrieve defend Helvetica and her sisters. Angeline is nearly defeated by a Darkwalker that invades her mind to cause despair. Saintess drives the monsters away as Malta arrives, claiming he brought his army to assist Bordeaux following the death of Helvetica and her sisters. He is surprised and outraged to learn they all survived but maintains his obviously false helpful attitude. Helvetica is irritated there is no evidence to accuse him of a crime. Angeline is deeply affected by the Darkwalker’s mental abilities. (Source: Wikipedia)

A Long Night and a Bright Dawn

Malta concocts a sinister plan to get to Helvetica. While patrolling Sasha encounters Saintess and Byaku and realises they are targeting Helvetica . She is almost killed by Byaku’s strange magic but is saved by Ash and Angeline. Recognising Belgrieve’s name Byaku identifies Angeline as being the same type of creature as himself, then teleports away. Having snuck away during the fight Saintess summons undead to attack the Bordeux mansion and furiously attacks Belgrieve herself when he keeps protecting Helvetica. Helvetica blames herself for ignoring Malta until it was too late. She decides she must become a stronger leader, so when her father’s undead corpse is sent to kill her and Seren, like Malta planned; she slays him herself to prove her resolve. Samigina’s ring almost consumes the terrified Saintess, until Belgrieve rescues her by destroying it. Upset but grateful she thanks Belgrieve before leaving with Byaku. Malta attempts to flee but the more serious Helvetica has him quietly assassinated. With the danger passed Belgrieve decides to return to Turnera while Angeline returns to the guild in Orphen to resume working. Angeline is furious when Helvetica sneaks a kiss with a shocked Belgrieve and repeats her desire to marry him one day. (Source: Wikipedia)

A second elf, Graham the Paladin, arrives seeking the female elf, his grand-niece princess Marguerite, daughter of Elven King Oberon who ran away to slay the returning Demon Kings.

Priestess and Byaku convince Angeline they wish to atone for their crimes, just as they are attacked by Inquisitors of the Lucrecian Church. Angeline is forced to kill them before learning from Priestess her late father, a Lucrecian Bishop, was falsely accused of heresy and assassinated by the Inquisition. Everything she has done was for revenge, but she has decided to abandon revenge after Belgrieve saved her. Angeline decides to escort them to Helvetica in Bordeaux to apologise. Marguerite confronts the child-like resurrected Demon King, until Belgrieve forces her to retreat, having realised it truly is a child, reacting violently to Marguerite’s attacks but becoming non-threatening once they leave. Marguerite resents them interfering and runs away from Graham again. Belgrieve convinces her to return so she and Graham can both apologise. Leo fears crossing the church now Angeline has confirmed the existence of the rumoured Inquisition, but agrees Angeline can bodyguard Priestess.

Maria agrees to tutor them in magic. Many citizens swindled by Charlotte object to letting them stay in the city, but are sent away by Rosetta. Charlotte rejects Rosetta’s kindness due to her being a nun of Vienna. Hypnotized soldiers attack Charlotte and Rosetta is hurt protecting her. They escape to the guild but the soldiers follow them. The adventurers hold them back while Angeline locates and slays the Inquisitors controlling the soldiers. Disappointed by the results the sorcerer frees Ba’al in the city.

Recognising her own foolishness Angeline takes the fight more seriously and defeats Ba’al, impressing the sorcerer. He is confronted by Maria who recognises him before he escapes. She decides to investigate what he is planning. Realising she misjudged her Charlotte apologises to Rosetta. Belgrieve continues to care for the boy.

Belgrieve's Decision

Belgrieve’s dreams reveal the monster that took his leg was the same type as Ba’al. Maria trains Byaku to fight with his own mana, lest his strange Demon King mana damage his body. Without Samigina’s ring Charlotte feels defenceless and considers learning real magic. Angeline decides to take them both to visit Belgrieve. Guildmaster Lionel receives a worrying letter. In Turnera Marguerite plans to leave after Fall Festival to continue adventuring before snow stops travel over winter. Duncan plans likewise, wanting one last adventure before retirement and marriage. Lionel informs Angeline Grand Duke Estogal has demanded her presence to reward her for defeating Ba’al, meaning visiting Belgrieve will be delayed until after winter. Lionel senses Estogal has political motives for bestowing the reward but can do nothing about it. Angeline decides to go alone, leaving Charlotte and Byaku in Orphen with Anessa and Miriam. Belgrieve gets Marguerite a job guarding a travelling merchant who will be travelling to Orphen after the festival. Belgrieve wants to resolve matters from his past left unresolved and reluctantly leaves the boy, Mit, with Graham so he can go travelling. Angeline sets out with support from fellow adventurer Gil. Belgrieve recalls voluntarily leaving his party members after losing his leg, not wanting to slow them down. One member, Kasim, is currently imprisoned by a noble family. (Source: Wikipedia)
