(Spicy Short Story) I'll Believe It If You Stay, Part Three

Hello, everyone!

Thank you all so much for reading and for your continued support! This month's POV for Patreon and Ko-Fi shows a very fun moment in DC's past, way before they received the title of Dragon Commander, and I'm posting a 450-word excerpt here on Tumblr as well. ♥♥♥

During DC and Mandra's three-day graduation party, a lot happened, but nothing managed to impact Mandra as much as the last night they spent together in The Ogre, a quasi-famous tavern (the only tavern) near Academia grounds, hours away from Opala.

These 2.5k words are filled with tiny details about some secondary characters, and massive insights into Mand's head. Hopefully, this short story will also shed some light on some of Mandra's actions during the flashback chapter in the game. This one is the "Part three" because it shows the third day of the party, haha! I hope to write the others soon, cause it feels like it'll be a lot of fun. >8))

This one isn't really NSFW, btw, but it does have some spice.

You can find the 450-word excerpt under the cut. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Big hug,

Ligia

I'll Believe It If You Stay, Part Three

8:39 - Last night of the 3-day graduation party, 03:43 AM

Mandra let out a raspy sigh and ran a hand through their hair.

Weak. Coward. Pathetic.

This whole thing had turned into a disaster of epic proportions. After everything that happened in the past two days—the "joust tournament" that had MC mounted on Mandra's shoulders, after the moment they had shared in the lake, then the little accident with the bottle of cachaça, their conversation back in their room, and then (accidentally) plunging into a bathtub together, getting half-naked together and almost kissing for the first time—after all that, things had only gotten worse between MC and Mandra.

Three days of celebration. Three days of having all the chances luck could ever offer them, and they still hadn't found the courage to say what needed saying and do what needed doing.

And MC had tried, they really did, but Mandra was… well.

This.

Whatever "this" meant.

They groaned and rubbed their face harder. They didn't know what was happening, even after they talked ad nauseam about it. Mandra didn't know where the hesitance came from. What they did know was that they had rejected MC's advances not once but twice. And MC, like any decent person, had left them alone.

Mandra threw back the rest of their cachaça and batted the glass on the bar top.

Weak. Coward. Pathetic.

And the quietness in the tavern seemed to agree with them. It seemed to mock them, reminding them that their time had ended and their chances would soon end too. Most of the other now fully-fledged Knights were already in bed, either on their own or with someone else, and Mandra was here, getting ready to take MC back to the castle and hand them back to Mathias once more.

They turned around and leaned back against the bar top. MC wasn’t even around anymore. Were they asleep already? They scoffed. That would be great.

"Goddess, I’m a dumb piece of—"

"Mand!"

The shout made them jump, and Mandra looked around to find Valência's widened eyes. She was still half-covered in blue paint, purple dust, and flowers, with a big wooden medal around her neck that titled her “best-knight-friend.”

"Hey, Val, what's—?"

"There's no time, you need to come now." And without any type of explanation, she grabbed the wrist of their good arm and dragged them to a smaller room to the left that Mandra didn't even know existed until then. "There! I can't say if they'll punch or kiss Niccolo, and I can't stop them! You have to do something."

Poll Results + quick update

Heeey, everyone! 

Thank you all so much for voting on this month’s poll! I really liked doing this, tbh. It feels like I’m sharing more of my creative process with you all, and it makes it even more fun. :)

The winner of this month’s poll was: A Slightly NSFW Mand POV!

And believe you me, this one will be a lot of fun. 😈😈😈 It’ll happen in the academia graduation party, in 8:39 when DC is 21……… and I’m very excited to write it.

Btw, it also seems like many of you want a new Belle card, so I’ll work on it next month. I really wanted to start drawing a new one right now xD but I want to focus on finishing the game this month. 

This also means I won’t be able to post the new update for Rise of the Bloodchemist on August i.i—but I’ll leave that for Spooktoober, which will be a lot more fitting, now that I think about it! Hehe

If you want, I also wrote a little dev update with the development status of the final battle. You can read it for free on Patreon or Ko-fi! ♥

Big hugs,

Ligia

Since the character POV last month was Mathias's, this time I'd write something for Mand. ♥

*If you all go for the belle card, I'll create another poll so you can choose whose card I'll draw. ♥♥♥

Chapter 3 Interlude is out now! (last update: August 1st, 2025)

Maybe it's just exhaustion, or the many caipirinhas flowing through my body, or maybe even the moon, bigger than usual, prettier than usual, behind Toni.

I don't know what it is. I just know that, at this moment, for the first time since we met, she seemed to me like one of the prettiest people I had ever seen.

Toni watches me carefully.

"Today sucked, huh?"

"Do you hate me that much?"

"I like your company," her voice's earnestness makes me lower my eyes. "But we didn't produce anything."

"I thought coke was supposed to make people more productive."

"All it did was make you even looser."

I laugh, because it's true. I didn't write anything, but I did laugh a lot. Told stories. Revealed secrets and gossip that I shouldn't have. That's normal, though, I think.

Toni's eyes, big and almost black, never leave mine. I'd like to avert my gaze, but I can't. Annie's eyes are so small, so cold, so bright. They scare me sometimes. It's as if they hide a thousand secrets.

But Toni's eyes are open. Honest.

"I had never noticed your eyes before," I say, knowing I should keep quiet.

She runs a hand over her mouth, her fingers covering her full lips, trying to hide an embarrassed smile.

I also like that she's shy, that she feels embarrassed. Annie likes being complimented just as much as me.

Suddenly, I feel the urge to get closer to Toni.

Features

A lesbian love triangle between three bandmates who should really know better

A messy protagonist with a beautiful voice, an even prettier face, and a penchant for hedonism

Three different romance routes

Lots of pettiness, drama, and infighting

English and Brazilian Portuguese versions

Disco music. Let's keep it groovy, baby!

Romance Options

Annie (or Aninha in Portuguese): the trio's other vocalist, alongside you. She's also your girlfriend... sort of. Annie used to be a model before being convinced by you to pursue her artistic dreams. She's hot-headed, insecure, a bit petty, and crazy about you.

Toni: the trio's main songwriter and instrument player. Serves as a backing vocal here and there as well. She's always been considered the "nice one" due to her calm, kind demeanor. Of course, that didn't stop her from sleeping with you and risking the trio's future...

Annie and Toni: I mean... why not, right?
