As Kirche was a well-known hero of repute, she always kept an eye out for people planning things at dinners and parties. The last thing she wanted was to get locked in another mansion trying to find which of the guests had murdered their host with a dagger in the library. Last time that'd happened they'd never caught the suspect, even though Tabitha had been trying her hardest to help them.

Never change Tabitha.

6th months implies something interesting about Kirche's conception, especially when her mother was held prisoner.

Uh, no, you're misreading there.

I'm saying that she was already three months pregnant by the time Blitzhart decided to marry her. It's not a shotgun wedding, but that's because shotguns don't exist yet and if they did Blitzhart would kill anyone who pointed one at him.

Word of God here; Blitzhart is Kirche's father.

Yes, yes you do.

Evil will find a way to tell her the truth and then...

Well, there goes that theory of delicious, devilish, and dramatic irony.

"I understand," Louise said softly, offering Cattleya a seat. "Are you sure you're fine now?"

"Oh, yes yes. And, well, you know that dreadful, dreadful man, the Vicomte de Announ?"

"No." Louise looked around. "I'd offer you wine, but… well, you don't drink wine."

"How is little Cattleya doing?" Francesca asked, conversationally. "I haven't seen her in so long. Why not invite her down for drinks, at least? Surely that would be pleasant, even if she doesn't drink wine."

One more mention and I think we can call this a proper running gag.

(for the unfamiliar: Dracula, 1931)
 
You're quite right! I'd forgotten:

EarthScorpion said:
"Oh dear, oh dearie dearie... me," said - no, breathed, 'said' was much too human a word for that sinister corpse-like rattle - the figure. "A poor lost little... girl." It exhaled again, a stinking breath which smelt of rotting corpses, musty tombs and dried blood. "Poor little girl, come... here. Why don't you share a... drink with me? You smell... delicious. And are only dressed in a... chemise underneath that cloak. Why don't you... take it... off? You're dressing like you... want it"

Mindlessly, Louise's cold fingers scrabbled for her wand. She had to keep this thing talking, stop it doing whatever it was going to do, because things which looked like this and sounded like this and above all smelt like this were not good things to be around. "Dr-drink?" she stammered, half from fear and half from the cold and wet. "Wh-what kind of drink? Like... wine?"

"Wine?" the figure exhaled. "I do not drink... wine."

Louise's fingers closed around the shaft of her wand. "Well... uh, what about brandy?"

"I do not drink... brandy."

"Sherry?"

"I do not drink... sherry."

"Beer?"

"... I am fond of... beer, yes."

"R-really?"

The corpse-like figure in its tattered black robe... only that wasn't a robe was it, that was wings... grinned, revealing elongated canines. "No. Guess again, poor little lost... girl."

I wonder what that other thing Danny wanted from Eleanor was...

Huh. I just assumed it took her at least 3 months to get Blitzhart out of the Abyss and back to "civilized" lands before they could hold a proper marriage.
 
You know, reading this chapter, I am struck with just one question...

...Seriously, how does Blitzhart ever get laid, ever? (I mean, other than by succubi attempting to corrupt him on a professional basis.) He's a genuine Hero, for all his howling obnoxiousness, so presumably he doesn't just go around leaving a trail of rape victims wherever he goes, and given the number of kids he has, he's not lying about his "exploits" in his incessant bragging about them. So...how? I mean, the giant squid sounds like it might have been a more attractive partner and we don't even know its gender.

Thing is, despite ostensibly being Germanian, Blitzheart is a very British parody of some very archetypically British "heroes". As such, he gets laid like every other Brit does.

i.e. offscreen, because dear god no sane mind should ever have to witness anybody that bad at fucking.

Y'know, you save a maiden from an otherwise uncomfortable time in a ritual, that maiden tends to see you as a pretty fine guy, typically when that happens the hero will then refuse to take advantage of the circumstances to have sex, knowing that it isn't true love, Blitzhart... Doesn't.
 
Well Eleanore's recruitment of the heroic party happened way the fuck faster than I thought it was going to be. Even if it's indirect. I was so sure that Louise would have met up with the party before Eleanore did.

At least all these interactions are just making Louise's inevitable identity revelation all the more entertaining.
