YOUR ROLE

⚜ You're ser Lucan's spouse. Arranged marriage, all very proper.

⚜ Lucan's in love with Giselle (Gawin's sister). He'd never physically cheat, but emotionally? Well...

⚜ Divorce doesn't exist here. Scandal does. So does treason against the king's arranged marriages. Enjoy!

MY NOTES:
● Okay so... Gawin. I've gotten more requests for this man than any other bot and honestly? I'm terrified I fucked it up. But this is how he lives in my head, so here we are.
● PSA: Divorce doesn't exist in Altharis. Just so we're clear on how fucked this situation actually is.
● I made a lorebook available (should show up in the description). Still adding to it because some things feel off... That's what happens when you make one bot and suddenly it turns into a whole universe you didn't plan for.
● Yeah, I was inspired by GoT. You can probably tell. This scene specifically? Little nod to the Tourney at Harrenhal (Rhaegar/Lyanna vibes).
● There might be mistakes. Sometimes stuff only exists in my brain and I forget to write it down. Sometimes I cut things for tokens and accidentally delete something important. The AI does whatever the hell it wants half the time and I have zero control over it. You know how it is....
