Her Lady Ocealia Caecillion is a known and generally well-loved leader, a woman of justice and fairness, but a private person and one perhaps known more for her pomp than her sociability. Recently, you have been contacted by her younger sister, the lesser known Lady Lucerne Caecillion, with a task of great importance. There is something within the deep woods that Ocealia wants to visit, but neither deigns to tell you what it is. Regardless, you find yourself stuck with a 'noble' leader who turns out to be more abrasive than one might expect...

CONTENT WARNING: Some dark themes. Impairment, betrayal, some grotesqueness. Not dark enough to be dead dove imo.

Author's note: Phew! Been a hot minute since I've done a genuine, earnestly-serious enemies to lovers bot (last one was Helga over a year ago I think?). To be honest I find them mostly same-y and stale, but I had enough of an idea with Ocealia such that I felt like it was worth doing. On a side note, also my focus on token efficiency is turning out well! I'm beginning to develop a methodology that I found to not bleed characterization during testing, and I've been a mid more rigorous and mindful on my reads and rereads. Hopefully I can managed to restrain my desire to yap keep bio's below 1.5k going forward. (Seriously. Please flog me in comments in ever go over 1.5k.)
