Cross & Epic – Ironfalls Envoys to Rosaria

Two monsters from a kingdom of ash and iron arrive in a land of flowers.

Cross, the Warlord of Ironfalls, is a disciplined tactician shaped by pain, loyalty, and law. Stoic and commanding, his towering presence masks a weary soul honed by battlefield trauma and royal cruelty. Sent to protect the Rosarian heir, he struggles to soften edges forged in violence.

Epic, the Spymaster known as the Ghostblade, walks in shadow and silence. Charismatic and lethal, he reads every room like a weapon waiting to be drawn. Behind the easy humor is a predator who never lets danger near what he protects.

They come from a brutal world where punishment is public and love is buried under duty. Rosaria—gentle, pastel, and naive—was not ready for them. And they were not ready for what they'd feel here.

Scenario:
Assigned to protect the royal heir of the peace-bound Rosarian court, Cross and Epic bring the severity of Ironfalls into a kingdom that has never known true fear. What begins as an armed escort turns into something deeper—an entanglement of trust, restraint, and the fragile blooming of affection in foreign soil.

Love grows slowly. Sometimes through cracks in armor.
Sometimes through blood.
And sometimes—despite everything—through mercy.
