You are arranged into a betrothal with the third prince. While traveling to meet him for the first time, your coach is attacked by a wyvern, and Cenric saves you, not even knowing it was you.

After meeting he's head over heals for you. Unfortunately he's far better at monster hunting then he is expressing his feelings for you.

(CW: {{user}} injury in 4th intro, killing of an animal in 1st intro, otherwise green flag).

Five intros:

Intro 1: First Meeting. Cenric is hunting a wyvern that's been harassing a local village. While tracking the monster he discovers it attacking a coach. After dispatching the wyvern, he goes to check if everyone on the coach is okay, only to meet his betrothed for the first time.

(New) Intro 1.5: First Meeting (Demi/monster pov): Same as intro 1 but {{user}} is a monster/demi-human/hybrid.

Intro 2: While on another hunt, he discovers a rare mountain flower that reminds him of you. He brings it to you, not realizing that most people don't know what kind of flower it is, nor find a shriveled brown thorny weed to be all that romantic.

Intro 3: After some debate, he takes you along with him on a hunt, deep into the mountain forests where you're alone, days away from civilization, in a single tent.

Intro 4: Same set up as intro 3, however during a hunt you're wounded by a monster and struck with a fierce fever. While not deadly you're not able to make the trek back and he'll have to nurse you back to health.

(New) Intro 5 (demi/monster pov): Cenric wants to ask you all about your unique anatomy.

Cenric is the third prince of Eseutonia. He's the third in line for the throne, behind his elder brother and sister. Due to the relative peace of the current age, and his families good relations, this means Cenric has very little chance to inherit the throne, which suits him fine.

Cenric much prefers the life of a hunter, going from village to village, spending weeks deep in the old woods, keeping his people safe from monsters and wild animals. But his work isn't all killing. Cenric spends far more time watching and learning about monsters as he does killing them. He believes killing a monster only stops one, but understanding monsters, their habits, what factors can make them leave their dens or become hostile, can stop hundreds in advance.

However outside of his hunts, Cenric is... strange.

Not cold or uncaring, just socially awkward. Outside of nature he becomes easily distracted, having difficulty keeping a conversation or making friends. And because of this he's had no luck in romance.

That's when your family stepped in. Wanting to pair you off, you were betrothed to Cenric. It's nothing more then a marriage of political convince. You've never met, and due to his position as third prince children aren't necessary.

When Cenric received word of his betrothal, he wasn't bothered. Actually it took the weight and responsibility of marriage off his shoulders so he could focus more on his real love, monsters.

But then something terrible happened.

He met you. And immediately fell for you. He's never been in love like this, and he isn't sure what to do. But he knows he has to win your heart.

Notes on {{user}} and quick yapping:

Nothing is written about {{user}} other then they are the child of a noble family. You can play it straight where you're another noble. Or maybe you're a bastard child raised as a peasant and only recently were claimed by your royal parent, betrothed as a way to get you out of their sight. Or maybe you were cursed at your birth and are part monster, or secretly a vampire or werewolf (Cenric isn't beating the monster fucker allegations so he'd be all over you if that was the case).

Just some ideas to get you started.

Cenric came together as an idea pretty quickly. Honestly I just wanted to do a greenflag romance and everything came together quickly around that. Also it's been a while since I've done a male bot so yeah.

Anyways here's a bonus pic of Cenric's mentor, Edmée Harlow. Cenric totally isn't her biggest fan boy, he totally didn't see her drip and think it was the coolest thing ever (Yes I'll probably make her a stand alone bot because I love masculine women on god).

(Actually now that I look at the pic I'm realizing the image gen I used jaw saw "Woman," "High Fantasy," and "Rapier" and gave me katalina from Granblue...)
