“Olivia Prior has never been a quiet girl. She has always made a point of making noise, everywhere she goes, in part to remind people that just because she cannot speak, does not mean that she is silent, and in part because she simply likes the weight of sound, likes the way it takes up space.”.

— Gallant (V. E. Schwab), pub. 2022, USA

*Gil route spoilers toward the end*

You know the isekai stories where the character reads a book at some point, doesn’t pay very close attention to it, but then is thrown into that book (and often are “born” into one of the book’s characters, so they start as a baby)?

Isekai AU where that happened to Chev.

He read a book outside of his usual genres on a whim, and he was launched into it soon after. He was an adult when it happened, and a rather competent one at that. Now he had been born into a position of royalty and was fairly convinced he could rule the entire continent with his knowledge. He just needed to win the story’s war against Obsidian, where the story’s timeline had ended.

So he knows *almost* everything that happens, especially key points that would otherwise be impossible to guess. He knows the tragic end of his mother, so he didn’t try to stop it. He knew about Bloodstained Rose Day, so he accepted his decision as necessary. The closer he stuck to the original plot, the longer he’d know what was going to happen.

The problem with the book for Chev was that he thought it was stupid. Because it was a romance novel. He hadn’t really considered looking for it until he came across a ~random~ romance novel in his stack of books, and soon he’s been reading every romance he can get his hands on, on the off chance he finds the book again. He’s hoping there’s a “rare book” somewhere that would become a prophetic treasure for him…

He knows about Emma the future Belle, but he’s convinced that Belle is a pointless position because he plans on firmly changing the plot once she comes into play. By the end of the book, he will no longer need to bother with romance— he’ll have secured an entire continent instead. Surely Emma can pick one of his brothers, so it’s fiiine…

So he’s pretty close to the original timeline, but he’s still a little thrown off when a woman in town slaps a drunkard in front of him. He wasn’t expecting to meet Belle on a random day and in such a weird way (did the original Chev point a sword at Emma’s throat? New Chev can’t seem to remember that part happening…)

Then he had to be on his game as far as pushing her away, toward any of his brothers (he was positive that whoever she chose, they would love and cherish her). He’s spent all of his new life preparing, so it should be easy enough to push one last person away. No time for kindness or love if he wants to rule this fictional world.

And, well, we’ve seen how well that went for him in his route 😅

And his route could end with loving Emma, how it was originally written, even having known everything beforehand. Dude’s a certified genius now, but he couldn’t destroy fate…

Sure would be a shame if another “genius” was isekai’d into an enemy prince’s body that would also want to take over the continent and meet Belle (essentially the perfect, ideal woman with the purest heart). A prince who ended up in a body/family/life that tore his own pure heart to shreds.

He’d read the romance novel because he liked happy stories, and he’d liked how lovely and strong Emma was. So ending up in the last possible person to meet her was a huge blow for him.

Gil couldn’t find the novel in the fictional world, either, though he didn’t try quite as hard as Chev (who he’d met as a child, not realizing that the gallant prince in the story was now the grumpy kid reading in a corner).

Gil gave up trying to find it after realizing survival had to be his ultimate priority. Eventually in his adult years he was able to think about her again. He’d looked back on the stories the bookseller told him, which were curiously similar to the Belle he had read about. Maybe if he couldn’t find the romance novel… he could write it?

And finding out that Emma had finally become Belle at the same time he’d learned he’d had nothing left to lose? Time to visit Rhodolite.

Two isekai’d princes, one the pre-destined lover of Belle, the other an enemy who was born into the life of a doomed side character who had to make himself a main character to survive.

Neither knows the other came from their original universe, so they are both pretty perplexed at how competent the other is. They’ve been side-eyeing the other their whole lives: Gil eventually realizes he’s talking to Chevalier, the ML, but that he’s a lot grumpier than he remembers. Chev doesn’t understand where this prominent enemy character came from or why he wasn’t mentioned in the books 🤔

It’s gallant char Monday HOLY SHIT IT ENDS WITH TOBE GUNDAM CHAR THAT IS SO INTERESRINF ANOTHER MAN’S THEME ENDS UP INSIDE YOURS

[beholdingthedead]

I fear no one has seen my flesh in ages past. Perhaps no one ever has. Their eyes gleam upon a thin film of translucent skin, unending and suffocating upon my withering, sulphuric flesh. They cannot see it. They cannot see me. Wild and drowning in an uncontainable sadness I cannot escape; it weighs heavy upon my form, like an unending torrent of gallant, adventurous water, crashing against my form, my translucent skin slick with the liquid that drowns me so civilly. The proclivity it feels towards me. The allure to drown me. To wrap around my ankles and drag me to my self imposed, self important tomb. It is maddening. I am maddening, unending, and so very unfeeling. The love bleeds to anguish and the anguish chars my flesh and marks it in ashes of bitterness. I love you. I care for you. I like you. I see you. I talk to you. I wanted you. I hurt for you. I can’t stand you. Past my thin skin, I tug at it, my motley viscera and I inspire it to take and give. It does. You do not. I love you. I see you. I can’t stand you. Buried beneath the weight of my elated oceans, I cannot hear the sound of my own screams. The howls and the wails and the begging shrieks, the ravenous craving I have for more. Of you. Of you. Of you. I scream until my voice shifts into empty and when my melodies turn to silence, I do nothing but long for you again. I love you. I love you. I.. love you, don’t I?

Hmm, why does the "Gallant Char" theme has parts of the Gundam theme in it? 🤔🤔🤔

Btw, Suletta's theme sounds like "tanuki sneaking somewhere" music.
