Noblesse Oblige [Znt/SI]

Reader mode
Jealous yandere intensifies.

Though poor Ducky, there isn't really much of a prospect going on for her, so far she's believed to be a mistress of Joseph and until it's publicly revealed that she's a void familiar Miodtnir she'll get treated as such. But even then if she gained mastery of magic and noble title, she would only be pulled into conflicts that she has nothing to do with, fight for a country that violently plucked her from her world, all because of a cool disco portal... Hahaha. It's true what they say... Don't do hard drugs or bad things will happen.

They do have effects on the mind, is not just suppressed homesickness.

Consider the fact Shade suggested the completion of the ritual per chance the half naked girl was a vampire, consider how wild fire dragons respond to being a familiar.

Also in canon we KNOW the state of mind of tbe master has an effect on the state of mind of the familiar, the familiar summoning ritual doesn't mind control the creatures it summons, but does the closest thing by suppressing and augmenting certain emotions.

Yeah, unlike those barbaric guards who caused her physical pain for flailing with a stolen weapon and trespassing, Henry only threatened to set her on fire and skewer her with a sword over an insult, like a civilized person!

He didn't really threaten her so much as get her attention and silence by throwing a small burst of fire past her vision. By the time she actually acknowledged him he was already sheathing his sword. Threatening her would be throwing fire at her and holding her at sword point until she was forced to obey him.

I think the only reason she has been so... Irksome is simply because he's been decidedly non threatening the entire time.
 
Quick thought on miss Ducky: If she's shallow as she seems, she will probably manage to be quite happy once she calms down. She will be pretty much living the high life, and most modern amenities are either already replaced by magic or can be reasonably easily replaced so. Sure, it's all on borrowed authority, but Joseph isn't likely to mind all that much. So long she's not completely addicted to the internet and the cellphone, she won't have that much trouble.

And before you mention the homesickness and missing her friends and family, the familiar runes would supress those, which, honestly, on the short term, is actually a pretty good thing, not to mention that depending on how shallow she actually is she might not actually miss them all that much. On the long term it might be worth to see if Tiffa can remove that part of the runes, but before that, let her calm down and adapt enough that she won't get herself immediately killed.

There was a verbal threat and additionally Henry did not sheathe his sword before she acknowledged him, he continued to hold her at swordpoint until he was sure she's stopped insulting Joseph to BSOD over magic.

"He had time to put his grubby old hands on me, so he better find the time!" Anne literally roared, "Or I'm going to go around yelling how much of a frigging pervert he is! Hey you-" she turned to one of the commoners, and in a second my swordwand was out as a gust of flames burst a few inches away from her face, making her recoil and scream as she fell down on the ground, her eyes wide as I pointed my swordwand in her direction, the tip gleaming under the moonlight.

"You will refer to His Royal Highness with respect," I hissed, my eyes narrow, "Or his familiar or not, you will be severely punished."

"That-That-" she stared at the tip of my swordwand. "That fire-"

"That was magic," I replied dryly. "A simple dot spell, but rest assured-"

"M-Magic?" Anne mumbled, "That-you can do magic!?"

"It is the birthright of Nobility, bestowed upon the faithful of Brimir and their descendants," I answered as I sheathed my swordwand, and then extended her a hand. "Now, by all means stand up and-"

That's the joke. The guards actions were fairly in line with their duties, and Anne may have been harmed worse for the same actions by modern cops who don't have invulnerable balls. Yet as a spoiled rotten modern teen who's never been hit before, Anne's likely to see Henry as more reasonable despite being threatened with a sword simply because the guards caused her physical pain and Henry didn't.

I'd be worried more about her undergoing withdrawal from any addictive substances she might have been taking before she was summoned.

She doesn't seem the kind to be that addicted to the point of severe withdraws, specially not if the familiar kiss was actually her first kiss.

Well, she might be addicted to caffeine like most people in the western world by now, but not only the withdraw is not that severe, Gallia's court do have quite a lot of coffee... :p

Didn't really get the image that she would be that hard of a party girl. More like a young girl acting like she's older.

With her looking like a 16 year old and her remarks about the wine and bragging about her clubbing, I'm getting the impression that she'a not as experienced with the high life as she would like people to think.

That Joseph was her first kiss also supports this.

Maybe. But were seeing either A: That Henry has drunken the coolaid and jumped into the punch bowl, or B: That he is nust how he has been.

Either way, he needs to get a handle on this shir and pull his head out of his ass and set things straight with Ducky... also maybe let Raven play with her. He is fluffy and moght bring porn for ammusement.
Edit: also this pretty much represents the cringe part of ZNT for me. The kidnapping and essentially slavery part of being a human familiar.

"I thought I said she was not to be harmed?" as I said that, there was a slight tensing on the part of both guards even as I knelt in front of the girl, who had stopped trying to claw for her life against the carpet and was now staring at me. She had two angry red welts on the sides of her cheeks, the product of slaps, with all probability. "Here, a handkerchief-" as I pulled it out to hand it over, she simply gave it one quick look, and then hesitantly took it as the two knights let go of her, nervously waiting for their verdicts.

"Return to your posts," I said to the two as Anne proceeded to wipe away her tears and then blow her nose into it -why wasn't I surprised she'd do something like that? "I'll take care of her for the time being."

The two guards hesitated only briefly, but realizing that their asses were in hot water to begin with, they obeyed.

I turned to look at the teenager, still on the floor.

This time, when I offered her my hand, she clasped it.

This was progress, at least.

I might somehow be harmed by Isabella but i ship it. The way how Henry act can be contributed as a knight in shining armor and the fact that he is a kind prince as well. And he was nice to her since day one

I thought that was true for all familiars. Is Raven less enslaved just because he is non-human?

Dunno. Is Raven fully sentient? If so then my awnser may be the same, but then again it could be like Kururu where she is a child but one that allready wanted to leave the litteral nest. Generally speaking she was also from the same setting.

Different thing when its an unwilling person going from modern day to to-well-Halk, where youre likely to be treated like shit or less than human by a good portion of the population.

Really the only good thing I see about it being Anne that was specifically summoned is that she might have the spirit of the revolution in her. Expose The King to her enough and we may see some changes in Gallia.

Henry doesn't need to pull nothing from his ass. He has been quite reasonable untill now and teenagers are always a pain to deal with.

If she's French, and she has the spirit of revolution in her, then the King would be better served to lop off her head. You do recall what the French revolution was like right?
 
I can eat rice with chopsticks, but how do you eat a duck with a fork?

Also Joeseph wasn't Anne's first kiss. Until she kisses someone, she still hasn't kissed anyone.

Having been kissed just means she's Joseph's XXX number kiss, it doesn't count against her own.

If it did, everyone's first kiss would be with their mother!

Hah.

More seriously, I always hate when the topic comes up. Democracy is all fine and dandy, but it takes serious social changes for it to even be possible when transitioning from a feudal society.

Plus it's founded on the fact that all men are created equal. That's decidedly untrue in ZNT. To be blunt, mages are outright stronger than non-mages. They can leverage some serious power in many aspects that make it impossible for normal people to compete. Even with advanced technology mages would have a decided advantage in several aspects, and would likely devise counters as it advances.

Ultimately a democracy would have to be done by a revolution. The revolution would still need mages. This revolution would be a bloody battle that would create more problems than it solved. And it would still have the mages on top it all. Just under a different window dressing.

At least the current setup is stable. If you want things to be better, you'd have to reform things. Trying to play revolution will result in nothing but death, destruction, and misery.

As a reminder, the French Revolution was a bloody and horrific mess that ended with another emperor at the end of it.
