Awkward? Probably...
Keep calm, it isn't hard to attend a funeral... just say some kind words.
I have been to one before, not that the funeral had a body... not even all 3. Just... pretend its then, call that emotion deep inside me... nevermind actually... that's probably a bad idea. I just have to... be caring and compassionate like a regular hum-

Game face, Cobalt.
Melody and Syn are here to back you up, you got this. Not even a challenge! I've done worse, like talking to Ruby! I sincerely hope there wasn't a side story chapter about how crimson truly felt about her, because that wou-

...
The once cold environment that surrounded me with a small flash typical of warping was replaced by the warm stare of thousands around me as I stood upon a castle balcony, overlooking an entire towns square of people with Queen Eurilla standing to my flank and Syn laying behind me... Melody placed a good distance behind me.
She pulled me aside for a bit, hopefully I didn't interrupt her or something because that would be just plain ol rude of me, wouldn't it Syn?
}{}{ I agree, just like missing a daily upload... }{}{
Yeah?
Anywho, Eurilla has finished pulling me aside and is ready to give me the lay down...
" Alright, so the story so far is that my father wasn't actually my birth father and rather you are... so, basically you just got to act like I'm your kid, confirm it, and say some pretty words about the war... then just answer any questions that come up. Got it? "
- " Gotcha, but afterwards? "
" Your probably going to have to tour our kingdom for a little bit, make sure your face is known and such... then you can leave and do whatever it is that players like to do. "
- " Gotcha, say... uh, about me being a player? "
" Don't mention it, there is a slight stigma against players. "
- " Gotcha, speech time. "
...
Ahem.
" I, am amongst you. Citizens of Morin, I stood before you then as I do now, with great belief in all of you... to our fallen comrades, I shall stand before you in whatever lies before us in death. It is Belief that keeps us alive to this day, does it not? Should you not of believed in the stronghold you wouldn't of lay beneath it's gates, Should you not of believed in your soldiers? Of course not, and that's why today I implore you to believe again... Believe that we will continue on, and we shall continue on. We have won, and we shall win again... and continue on. I stand amongst you, citizens of Morin, Avery Hall... true father of Queen Eurilla.
Will you stand with me? Dearest people of Morin? "

Thank, System... I can kind of tell from the cheering from the crowd though, who knew that dumbass speech would work as well as it did... well, I guess I did have a handicap.

Touring huh? Cringe. World building is for losers, I want my destinations to be vague at best!
Yeah, so... I looked at a map and sectioned off areas to visit in certain days, there was 5... districts I guess? Yeah, anyways they were arranged like one of those snake games. That being of course, just put next to each other... only a small wall separating each district.
Looking at the map, I also realised that the ocean is pretty close to the south... so maybe I could get some cool fantasy seafood, to the north was a quick transition between cold forest and absolute tundra... I assume it's because Mordova kinda lives there, Ice goddess and all that.
The east was just a plain old grass field, lots of trade routes there... the west was also ocean.
So, districts... it looks like they are sperated by magical ability? ... wait, no that is just the Nobel ones...
District 1: Nobles with High Magic
District 2: Nobles with low or without
District 3: Open District
District 4: White Collar
District 5: Blue Collar
I don't exactly know what each District kinda... does... but I assume due to Blue collar being closer to the ocean it's most likely sailors? I guess I'll have to have some seafood there, I mean... if anyone knows how to make some good fucking seafood it's sailors right?
I assume because White Collar is for management and such, I assume that bars and other such establishments might be a bit better there... they are usually a slight luxury that blue collar workers can't afford while nobles and such wouldn't want it... making it the perfect middle ground.
Open District, my gut is only telling me to get street food there... so I'll trust it.
Noble Districts might be very similar, so I'll see if I get invited to an event by some noble house then... wait, I'm only thinking about food! There has to be other attractions there, right?
... Right?
