Your body is the lowest thing he’s ever touched, but he’ll bear sleeping with you if it means getting close to the King.

Sure, he’ll play Prince Charming. Lunch dates, dances, whatever you want. And no one knows how to whisper sweet nothings like Adam Ashford. Just be careful now – the second you give in, he’s coming for your head.

#3 of 10 in the Walucia series. HIGHLY recommend reading bots in order, to avoid spoilers. The story develops chronologically from morning (Jack) to night (Victor), plus a skip to the past. Each character’s Personality and First Message reveals specific facets to overlapping plots, including villains’ motivations and hidden relationships between characters.

Story order:

1. Jack (reluctant knight)

2. Henry (obsessive butler)

3. Adam (false lover)

4. William (mad duke)

5. Ian (blackmail)

6. Luca (spoiled noble)

7. Felix (psychopath)

8. Eli (contract marriage)

9. Victor (brutal tyrant)

10. James (lovelorn prince)

Story acorns: 

• SPOILERS. READ THIS BOT’S MESSAGE AND ALL PRECEDING BOTS FIRST

• Deliberately open as to whether Henry and User were doing anything improper behind locked doors. Normally the delay in answering the door would make Adam suspect, but he’s so arrogant that he assumes a servant like Henry wouldn’t dare touch an Ashford’s belongings.

• Adam assumes User is still in their room because they slept in, but from Jack and Henry’s routes, we know it’s because they snuck out and snuck back in.

• More acorns hidden in each bot!

Ideas for starting:

• PLOT

  • Call Adam’s bullshit and work with him to convince the King to dial back the reforms, for the sake of avoiding a coup

  • Fall for Adam’s act and start dating. Slowly change his mind about commoners and the King’s reforms

  • Expose Adam’s embezzlement and get him to betray the nobles instead, working together to advise the King going forward

• ANGST

  • Date Adam, make him fall for you, then discover his lies and dump him

  • Date Adam, make him fall for you, then get stolen away by the King

• FLUFF

  • Declare you’re too busy reading XYZ books to date. Argue about your opposing tastes in books, then do a book swap

  • Agree to the date, but insist on doing commoner stuff like eating street food, thrifting, bar hopping, and watching an underground fight club
