Nicolae and Peter

Nicolae and Peter is the friendship and sibling relationship seen in Mystery Spell.

## Overview

Nicolae and Peter is a recurring relationship consisting of Nicolae and Peter Bartholy. The two do appear to love each other very much but don't seem to be as close as they are with their other siblings which is mostly seen in their own story routes. In fact, Nicolae and Peter appear to interact the least out of the Bartholy brothers, and both seem to interact with Drogo Bartholy more, and they possibly both are seen interacting with Lorie Bartholy more than they are with each other, but when they do interact one on one with each other, it's apparent that they love and respect each other very much and only want what's best for each other.

The two are the most mature out out of the Bartholy siblings, and it's up for debate on who is the most mature out of the 2, but it's still clear that Nicolae is the older brother out of the 2 as he's seen looking out for Peter's best interests at heart more and acts big brotherly around him.

There's a stark difference in the way that Nicolae acts around Peter compared to the way he acts around Drogo, while with Peter there's not that much of a difference from the way he interacts with Drogo and Nicolae since he gets along with both of them about the same. Nicolae with Drogo usually has to be more fatherly and reprimanding due to all the trouble that Drogo gets himself in, which leaves them having less of a friendship and more of a guardianship. While with Peter, Nicolae can be more himself around Peter and not as stern, as Peter doesn't get in trouble a lot and is more quiet and keeps to himself more similarly to Nicolae. The two have more similar personalities to each other than they do with Drogo and Lorie which is probably why they get along so well and why their interactions are usually very mellow.

Nicolae also also seems to trust Peter and keeping his impulses under wrap compared to Drogo, because Nicolae was very against Drogo and the player dating for multiple reasons, one of them being he was afraid he'd accidently hurt the player the same way he did with Mia Cooper and didn't want another accident like that happening again. But with Peter, he was fine and supportive of his and the player's relationship and thought it would be good for Peter, as he hated seeing Peter sad all the time and was glad to finally see Peter be happy and in love for once, and could trust Peter to never accidentally hurt the player either or them be unsubtle about their relationship compared to Drogo and his player.

The two will sometimes give the players from the other's respective story routes relationship advice and knowledge about their brother when needed, in fact, Peter was the only one that was supportive of Nicolae's relationship with the player and was the only one that was consistently nice to the player, as he just wanted both of them to be happy.

The two also show care and worry for each other if one of them is hurt, such as when Nicolae was worried and furious when Peter was shot by the Descendants of the Templars, and Peter sometimes defends Nicolae and his views from Drogo in Drogo and Nicolae's routes, and the two of them also always have each other's backs and always team up with each other in order to take down a big threat such as Descendants of the Templars or their own father Viktor Bartholy.

The two's relationship isn't as put on display or flamboyant as their relationships are with others, but it's still evident that they are brothers and would do anything for each other. Nicolae probably really helped Peter come to terms with his vampirism after he was turned by Viktor, and despite how calm and rational Nicolae may be, Peter probably still helps him see reason and view things from other people's perspectives and is often the mediator between Nicolae and Drogo, something Nicolae deeply appreciates.
