Lucettes Lips Twisted Into A Scowl When She Was Told That The Portal Had Been Because Of Saibot, Bi-Hans

Lucette’s lips twisted into a scowl when she was told that the portal had been because of Saibot, Bi-Han’s shadow....thing.

“So he’s a prankster, hm?” That will be annoying to deal with. But how did he know she left the room? She had been absolutely careful that no one took notice of her.

‘You’re stuck in a fortress of assassins. I would hope that one of them, even if he technically isn’t one, would notice you sneaking off.’

Lucette huffed, her scowl twisting further. She had been so sure. And they had all been too busy eating and preparing for the day ahead to notice her leaving. Guess not.

The young princess groaned loud and dramatically, looking behind Kuai to see that her new mentor was already there. And already started training. Kuai’s warning of catching up and not testing Bi-Han’s patience only made her grumpier, giving the Grandmaster a pleading look.

“Do I have to be trained by him? Do I really have to do training now?”

‘You sound like a child whining to get away from eating peas for dinner’

“I AM a child.” Lucette answered out loud, eyebrow twitching in frustration. Was any of this genuinely necessary? What’s the point?

‘Just get up and do it. It would be helpful. Think of it as repayment for their generosity. You’re in their house, you play by their rules.’

“Generosity, my donkey” She grumbled under her breath before getting up, stretching a bit and making her way over to where the other recruits were, glancing at them and getting into the same position they were in. 

She fucking hated this already, and she barely started.

Lucette turned the corner, the friction between her shoes and the stone floor making her shoes squeak. Not that she cared. She was too busy gloating and mentally patting herself on the back. She managed to sneak away from Bi-Han!

Or so she thought. She was so busy basking in her own glory, she didn’t see the portal until it was too late.

Lucette felt the air change around around her and for a split second, she was weightless, the floor gone. The change startled her, making her trip over her own foot and fall face first onto a different type of stone floor. That sure knocked all the tiredness out of her.

“What the?!” What in the world just happened? What was that?

Raising her face from the floor, Lucette looked around to see that…she was definitely not in the hallway. It looked like she was in some sort of training area.

“How did I get out here? I know for a fact that I was heading to my room-Oh hi, Grandmaster! How…….How’s it going? What a surprise to see you….here.”

Lucette had to stop herself from talking about her almost successful escape attempt when she caught sight of Kuai Liang standing right next to her. Lucette rearranged herself into a more relaxed pose, still lying on the floor. Hoping that her smile would distract him. And hoping he didn’t see that.

“Uh, Grandmaster, I seem to have gotten lost. You see what happened was……I was going to use the bathroom and I some strange thing happened, probably a wrong turn, and ended up here. Isn’t that crazy?”

‘You are a terrible liar.”

Kuai Liang almost, almost grinned. The shadow portal itself was identifying: Saibot doesn’t exactly make himself that subtle when he wanted to play a prank or twenty on some unsuspecting sod. And the purple energy even lingered just a second longer, as though to show off his newest handiwork: not that the Grandmaster could fault him, it was certainly amusing, especially when the new ones had not even met him.

“Looks like you got treated to Saibot’s little schemes. My brother’s shadow plays this prank often on unsuspecting recruits. Either he already thinks that you’re one of us, or he just felt like it. I’m inclined towards the latter.”

He coughs, hiding the snicker. Bi-Han probably knew what he did already, considering his brother stood no more than thirty feet behind him. The question is if he actually paid attention long enough to know it was him. Kuai covers the lower half of his face, coughing again: blue eyes twinkling with mirth in his gaze. “He’s drilling the other recruits now, might want to catch up with him to see how he wants your training to proceed, don’t test what he can do if you make him annoyed.”

Partly true, partly a jest. Bi-Han was a harsh mentor, even harsher to Kuai himself when he was younger: ultimately it had became the very reason why he sat upon the throne today. His teachings had given him everything needed to survive the harshness of growing up with the Lin Kuei.

Dadverse Lucette has 2 reactions whenever a god kin child (honestly , any child) tries to pick on her

1: Jump them. Attack them with the fury of an enraged Goose. Her small size is an advantage. She WILL NOT HESITATE to fight dirty. Pulling hair, biting hands, scratching face, throwing sand in face, she dgaf. She wants to win and she will do it.

OR

2: ”My dad can beat up your dad with one hand, no problem.“ Artorias is her trump card and she will gladly use him to establish dominance. “I know the son of the man who got beaten by a squire didn’t say something to ME? The daughter of the legendary Wolf Knight, one of the 4 Knights of Gwyn AND the Abysswalker? No? That’s what I thought.”

And Artorias has 0 problems with beating up adults who dare to talk negatively about his baby. And he will get away with it too.

Could you tell us about Dadverse Lucette’s husband?

Ah yes, her husband. I'm still fleshing him out and this backstory could change but I'll tell you what I got so far.

His name is Koray and he is the son of a God Kin nobleman at Anor Londo. His dad was alive and served in the War against the Everlasting Dragons, and received honors for it, which is how he became nobility in the first place. They live away from the center of Anor Londo and more on the outskirts, in semi privacy in their own estate. So going to the castle is considered a trip for them. And they only go when there's special events or invited by friends.

Koray met Lucette through a mutual friend at an archery tournament when she was in her early 20s. He had been invited by the friend to the tournament. He was amazed by this human daughter of Artorias and how she was able to beat God kin archers and get to 2nd place. After the match, he and the friend went to congratulate her, though Koray was intimidated by the fact that her father was right next to her. The friend introduced the two of them to each other and when Koray looked into her eyes, he was hooked.

Ever since, he started taking more trips to the castle to see and spend time with Lucette. And his friends of course, but Lucette is the main motivator. The two become friends and eventually progressed towards lovers, falling in love with each other.

After 3 years of dating, Koray finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry him. To which she happily said yes. But in order to actually be able to marry her, he needed Artorias' permission and blessing. Which is practically a whole ass ritual that I will talk about in a separate post.

Anyways, he received Artorias' blessing (and very terrifying Dad Talk/Threat) and was able to marry Lucette.

There's a lot more details in this story but they require separate posts, so this condensed version is what you're getting. I will (hopefully) talk more about him later on. Thanks for the ask!

For Dadverse Lucette, since it’s implied her parents are dead in her original world(or missing), does she ever get sad about the fact that Ornstein has a lion symbolism just like her dad?

Oh yeah, all the time. She tries not to be too saddened by it but its hard. And a tiny part of her is a bit bitter about it.

She wishes she could add a lion onto her clothes and not have people assume it has anything to do with Ornstein. She felt like she couldn't honor her father the way she wanted. She really has nothing left of her parents besides her memories and as time passes, those are fading away.

The only thing she has the fire lion sigil on is a cloak she had made for her and even then, she can't really wear it in public because it gets her a lot of stares and incredulous looks. It was a lot worse for her as a child because she felt as if Ornstein "stole" her father's sigil.

She didn't want to talk to Artorias about it because she was afraid that if she talked about her bio dad to him, that Artorias would be offended.

Not doing good mental health wise today so I won’t be on Tumblr very much today. I’ll probably work in some art and some writing for now and maybe pop in to answer a few questions every now and then.

Sorry for the letdown. Hopefully later on, I’ll be a bit better.

Thinking thoughts. Making up scenarios.

Ignoring my responsibility to finish CH16.

Ignoring my artist responsibilities.

Just sitting here on the couch, freezing my ass off.

I’m in the mood for questions so if Y’all wanna know something about my characters, go ahead and spam me
