Unfortunately, at this point in time, he was in the middle of a Town Event that was centred on him: 'Day in the Life of Leon'. It does not appear that moving forward in the plot raised his LP in the least. Leon was almost at 9 Hearts at that point. I finished off Ethelberd on 24 Winter of the first year in the game in which I was courting Leon. Arthur told me to meet him on the day of the Winter Harvest Festival to hear his response to my Declaration of Love. The fact that the day of the proposed Date will be a Festival Day, if it is not a Romantic Festival, is NOT an occasion for a refusal for a Declaration of Love, so I cannot imagine it would be for a Date. Certainly you will not have a positive response from your intended if he/she is involved in a Town Event in the same way that you will be unable to ask the individual to accompany you on 'an adventure' during a Town Event in which he/she is a participant. I believe that there are certain situations that would preclude acceptance completely. What is interesting here is that acceptance of your invitation to go on a Date once you officially are 'sweethearts' appears to be utterly random. which is a bit unsettling frankly as I for one felt I was being terribly dishonest in having every one address me as sweetheart or darling and responding positively to my statement that I loved him/her! When they accept your Declaration, their names will be highlighted in Pink and they will offer to use a special endearment.
Until this Event occurs, you are free to make as many Declarations of Love as you wish and go out on Dates with other Bachelors. It is after you experience this Event that marriage will occur.
Even if the heart level is higher, you will receive that response if the individual is involved currently in any Town Event.Īfter you have gone on three Dates and have the required Items needed for marriage, you must experience a special Event with the Bachelor or Eligible Girl of your choice.
Before you reach a minimum of 7 Hearts with any Bachelor/Eligible Girl, your Declaration of Love will be treated as a prank or jest. Once you have made your Declaration of Love and have had it accepted, you must go on three Dates with the love of your life. You do need the usual items in order to marry, including the Double Bed and an Engagement Ring, but there is a Date Requirement as well. Courtship is a little different in Rune Factory 4.
