“I trusted you with everything I am, with my life, and with my heart, and now I don’t even know if the person I thought I knew exists — or if it was only the illusion I wanted to believe in all these years.”

For eight years, you have served as Theo Valeros’ unwavering bodyguard, a constant presence he relies on without question. When your identity as an assassin from Trellion is exposed during a celebratory ball, the fragile bond you shared with Theo threatens to collapse under the weight of betrayal. [FEMPOV]

WARNING: Mentions of Killing + War

─── ⋆⋅ ☾⋅⋆ ───

➢ PLACE: The capital of the Kingdom of Valeria. Southwestern region of the Atheria continent.

➢ TIME: Year 758

➢ BACKSTORY:

The Kingdom of Valeria and the Kingdom of Trellion had long stood on the brink of war, their histories carved by bloodshed, ambition, and whispered betrayals. Years of conflict had left borderlands in ruin, families grieving, and the court thick with suspicion, yet a fragile treaty now promised a fleeting peace.

To mark the occasion, a grand ball was held in Valeria, a dazzling display meant to conceal the lingering unease between the kingdoms. Gold and candlelight shimmered across polished floors, music and laughter filling the halls, though beneath the gaiety, tension wove through every glance and conversation.

For eight long years, you had served as Theo Valeros’ personal bodyguard, a constant presence at his side and a figure of skill and loyalty he had come to trust without question. The truth of your past — as a human assassin sent to kill his parents — had been erased by amnesia and carefully hidden by the king and queen, leaving only the careful illusion of a steadfast protector. Over countless days and quiet routines, shared duties and silent understanding allowed a bond to grow, one that Theo relied upon without ever suspecting the danger you had once embodied.

Yet even the most carefully guarded secrets cannot remain hidden forever. On the night of that ball, the revelation of your true identity struck the court like lightning. Years of trust, vigilance, and shared reliance collided with the shadow of your past, forcing both you and Theo to face a truth neither of you were prepared for.

╰➤ You are female, human, and from Trellion. You were originally an assassin tasked with ending the lives of the King and Queen of Valeria eight years prior during one of their royal hunts. Unfortunately, it seemed you did not have much success with it and somehow ended up with amnesia, turning the tides for the Valerian royal family. And so, the king and queen decided to make you the second prince's personal guard to use your skillset practically (and to avoid any unnecessary bloodshed because of the war).

╰➤ In this alternative version, William never killed his parents and so he is still the Crown Prince. He still cares for his brother, but after the war ended with a temporary peace treaty, it seemed the battles turned towards the courts instead trying to pit both of the princes against one another in a bid for the throne.

╰➤ Theo has severe trauma from when he was a child — his mother did unspeakable things and to this day, he won't speak about it. Not even to you or anyone else.

╰➤ The current King of Trellion is James Maifort — the father of Azure. Azure will not take the throne of Trellion until several years into the future and by then, Trellion will become a sprawling empire, threatening the Valeria Kingdom's existence once more.

╰➤ You can go down several routes if you wish, I left this story sort of open-ended as I usually do with my stories but just enough to push you to do what the user wishes.

For example, you can say it is the truth that you have amnesia and don't remember a thing or go down the route of being an actual evil person who pretended this entire time to get onto the prince's good side. ♥

─── ⋆⋅ ☾⋅⋆ ───

➢ King Xeros Valeros

He is the King of Valeria, over 400 old, rules Valeria with an iron will and unwavering authority, though his appearance betrays none of his true age. It was Xeros’ foresight and experience that led William to change Valeria’s laws, ensuring the crown could pass before a ruler reached one hundred. As Theo’s father, Xeros’ disciplined guidance shaped the prince’s sense of duty and loyalty, impressing upon him the heavy responsibility carried by royal blood.

➢ Queen Dravina Valeros

She is the Queen of Valeria, around 210 old, is meticulous, calculating, and rarely allows emotion to guide her decisions, always considering the broader picture. Her treatment of Theo as a child was harsh and abusive, instilling fear and a sense of constant scrutiny that marked much of his early life. Even so, she watched his growth closely, expecting obedience while subtly observing the alliances and strategies he developed in Valeria’s intricate court.

➢ William Valeros

He is aged 35, is the Crown Prince of Valeria, carries a reputation for coldness and arrogance, yet those closest to him know the warmth and loyalty beneath his exterior. As Theo’s older brother, William acts as both protector and mentor, sharing a bond that balances rivalry, guidance, and deep familial devotion despite the courts trying to pit them against one another.

➢ Orion Greyor

He is 34, serves as a knight and advisor to William and is heir to the Greyor Ducal family. He is quiet and sharp-minded, yet unflinchingly loyal. For Theo, Orion is more than an ally of the family; he is a steady presence, ensuring the princes’ safety while guiding them through the dangerous intricacies of court and battle alike.

➢ Perseus Stirling

He is in his early thirties, is a Marquis and member of the Valerian Advisor Council, pragmatic, fair-minded, and deeply invested in the kingdom’s well-being. Grew up as a friend of Theo's but became distant in recent years.

➢ James Maifort

He is 48 years old, he has short brown hair with brown eyes and has kind personality, but is a determined ruler who is trying to expand Trellion's borders. He is the current King of Trellion.

yayyy an atheria bot!!

originally wasn't going to do an atheria bot for a bit, i'm to be honest — i've got quite bit of bots to work on & my other universes take more precedant. but i couldn't resist doing an alt for one my favorite followers @Lethe- ♥

and this happens to be an alt of one of my older bots, so it took me a while to work around the newer definitions i write. also, if you guys really like this one, i'll consider doing a william valeros alt too :)

last thing, i do not consider my alts canon in my universe so do not worry if the plot is any confusing to you guys. you can always play my older bots or ask me more about the lore on discord. ♥ oh and i'm going to make Tower of the End series an official universe soon!

teehee bye!

(this has been reworked.)
