Guess who's made no progress on RFF? Me. The level of difficulty increases too sharply as you get further into dungeons. And on days when my crops grow it can take all day to pick them. I don't produce enough fodder to recruit any more monsters to help me with that, though, and it's to expensive to buy from Erik.
Chapter 4
Raguna was silent as he stepped into the carriage that had been brought up for him. Inside Ivan and Gilbert were already waiting. As with before, Ivan was dressed more like nobility when he arrived, and made a point not to be seen by the townspeople.
He didn't look out the window as they rode away, nor did he speak to his relatives for the first half of the trip. He felt like if made any sound at all, he might cry.
Finally, Ivan forced him to stop his ambitious goal of becoming a mute by asking "Are you looking forward to coming home? You're awfully silent"
Raguna thought about it for a second then shook his head "I don't think it matters much either way." Kardia had Lukas, but on the flip side he'd miss everyone else "But… it'll be a little weird… I don't know anything about politics. I won't be expected to help, will I?"
"Naturally" Gilbert told him "The whole capital city was in an outrage at your disappearance. They'll be even more so once they learn the details of it. We can't actually attack the Sech, but one way or another they will pay."
"…right…"
Ivan leaned over and put a hand on Raguna's knee "Chai? Chairo, are you alright?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"You seem gloomy" Ivan looked at him with concern "You're really upset about leaving, aren't you?"
"…"
"Chai?" Raguna decided he loathed his real name. "You can still go back and visit if-"
"What's going to be expected of me? At the palace?"
"At the immediate time? Nothing. You're suffering from amnesia and will need to be re-introduced to the laws of politics." Gilbert said "After that, as a prince you may occasionally have to meet with nobles. Usually when the head of another country comes to negotiate, several other important figures come too. With no queen, the job of meeting these people falls upon the potential heirs"
"Chai always sucked at politics" Ivan reminded Gilbert "Remember? He always went out on missions instead."
"Well then this is the perfect time for him to learn, then. Isn't it" Gilbert said coolly. He looked to Raguna "Chairo, do you know what caused your amnesia?"
"…" Raguna figured he should probably speak for this "Lynette tells me that some sort of medicine was used to wipe my memories."
"Then some sort of medicine can be used to recover them" Gilbert decided "I'll commission a team of pharmacists to work on it as soon as we arrive."
Raguna nodded and returned to staring out the window silently. This, at least, was a plus. Being found by this man who was apparently his grandfather had uprooted him from the place he considered home and, in turn, got him raped. But at least he'd actually get to know who he was. That much he'd be able to say once his memories returned. He couldn't at the moment. No matter how much they told him about his past, it didn't feel like his.
OXXXXXO
Rune Caster: Who hoo. I just wrote 2 fanfic chapters at school. Maybe I can get another in during lunch. Sorry for the late update. Our computer had to get fixed and it took forever.
Oh yeah, and apparently Raguna wanted to own a farm for some time before he got amnesia.
Sorry if I'm spoiling this for people who don't have RFF. If you don't have it GET IT. It rocks!
