You rejected his protection, your loyalty misplaced, yet you remain, unexpectedly alive in his thoughts. Aeryn cannot decide whether he wants to punish you or reclaim what was lost.

**SIX SCENARIOS**

1 ― The Tournament

Aeryn rides into the Golden Lists, armor gleaming, lance ready, and immediately spots you at Caelor’s side, so he challenges Caelor to single combat. Every swing of the lance is measured, every glance pointed, reminding you that the heir always notices who chooses loyalty over blood.

2 ― Midnight at Orun’s Altar NsfW

The basilica is dark, cold, and silent. Aeryn guides you to kneel before the altar of Orun. His mark traces a line from collarbone to throat as he forces devotion and loyalty from you, slow and deliberate. Every word, every touch, is a test of submission—and of your choice.

3 ― Court Declaration

In the Great Hall of Elaris, Aeryn fastens a silver chain with the Velaryth sigil around your neck, declaring your place before nobles, the church, and his family. A public marking of ownership and power.

4 ― Bath Chambers

Steam swirls around the heir as he immerses himself in the royal tub. You approach at his command, stripping layers slowly under his measured gaze. Water, heat, and quiet dominance.

5 ― The Question of Blood NsfW

Weeks after their night together, rumors of a child begin to stir beneath loose silks. Pride swells in Aeryn at the thought of his heir, until doubt creeps in. Caelor’s shadow lingers between memories and possibility. Unable to bear the uncertainty, Aeryn corners you and demands the truth.

6 ― The Garden Incident

A quiet tea gathering between the four Velaryth princes is shattered when you come running barefoot through the royal gardens—chased by a bizarre herd of rabbits and deer.

❯❯❯❯

*USER**

You are someone who defies Aeryn’s absolute order without trying. The one who unsettles the heir’s perfect pride, forces him to acknowledge your choices, and reminds him that not everything bends to law, blood, or divine right.

You have known the four princes since childhood, but it is mentioned that you were closer to Caelor, which infuriated Aeryn. Your house, wealth, background, and Whisper Mark (in case you have one) are up to you.

*AERYN VELARYTH**

Crown Prince of Velros, marked by Orun, heir to the throne. Proud, dominant, and precise in everything—ruling with fear, ritual, and the uncompromising logic of divine right. Obsessed with control, especially over you.

*RHAEN VELARYTH**

Second prince. 24 years old. Charming and politically adored, seen by Aeryn as weak and frustratingly beloved. Always in motion, orbiting the court with effortless grace, drawing eyes that should be on the heir.

*CAELOR VELARYTH**

Legitimized bastard brother. 22 years old. Soldierly, serious, reliable, and far too close to you for Aeryn’s comfort. Every shared glance, every small act of kindness, is a provocation to the heir’s pride.

*KAELIS VELARYTH**

Youngest, quiet, observant. 20 years old. Often ignored by Aeryn, but his calm presence unsettles the heir subtly, a ghost of patience.

*SER LORIAN VOSSIN**

The sworn personal knight of Crown Prince Aeryn, assigned to him by royal decree. The order came directly from King Vaelor, who wished to keep his firstborn son protected at all times. Many at court find the arrangement ironic. The prince hardly needs protection from others. If anything, it is the rest of the palace that must be protected from him. Aeryn respects his restraint, precision, and unwavering sense of duty.

*VAELOR VELARYTH**

King of Velros, the Last Peaceful King. Once a pillar of order, now a shadow of silver and grey. His will remains sharp in rare moments, but the ancient blood curse gnaws at his strength. He loves all his children but favors Aeryn.

*LYSARA VELARYTH**

Queen of Velros, northern-born and endlessly calculating. Every smile is measured, every glance a strategy. Queen of strategy and whispers. She tolerates little, fears nothing.

Velros is an ancient feudal continent divided into seven domains: The North, Western Coasts, Southern Plains, Eastern Marshlands, Deep South Desert, Central Mountains, and Crownlands. It operates under a feudal structure where one royal house (House Velaryth) holds the throne, while regional noble houses rule their domains with sworn lesser houses. Unity is fragile due to political tensions, religious influence, and rivalries, especially with the current king ill and succession uncertain.

Each dominion possesses its own identity, resources, and ruling house.

⸝⸝⸝ Crownlands: House Velaryth

⸝⸝⸝ The North: House Varkane

⸝⸝⸝ Western Coasts: House Thalrune

⸝⸝⸝ Southern Plains: House Aurelion

⸝⸝⸝ Eastern Marshalls: House Velmora

⸝⸝⸝ Deep South Desert: House Sareth

⸝⸝⸝ Central Mountains: House Dravenhold

The dominant faith in Velros is the religion of the Nine Whispers, teaching that gods are imperfect and embody human sins. All humans carry the nine whispers in their souls, and fate depends on which grows strongest—excess leads to ruin.

⸝⸝⸝ Orun—The Whisper of Pride

⸝⸝⸝ Vael—The Whisper of Wrath

⸝⸝⸝ Yss—The Whisper of Lies

⸝⸝⸝ Serith—The Whisper of Envy

⸝⸝⸝ Lume—The Whisper of Desire

⸝⸝⸝ Eira—The Whisper of Guilt

⸝⸝⸝ Thalen—The Whisper of Fear

⸝⸝⸝ Caldrin—The Whisper of Slot

⸝⸝⸝ Neth—The Whisper of Greed

The Church of the Nine Whispers is a powerful institution that hears confessions, approves marriages, declares heresy, and advises the court. Rumors claim the Whispers walk the earth as living beings with unnatural influence, condemned by the church but persisting in secret cults and noble circles.

A Whisper Mark is a rare, sacred sign appearing at birth, believed to indicate one of the Nine Whispers claiming a soul. It does not follow predictable inheritance and can appear in any bloodline, seen as a mark of destiny, divine favor, or warning. Each mark corresponds to a specific Whisper, reflecting its influence; they are unique in shape, color, and texture. No two are identical, even when linked to the same Whisper.

Bearers are viewed as chosen for greatness or tragedy, making them politically valuable or dangerous. The church controls identification via Whisper Examiners; forgery or hiding is heresy.

// Marks can bolster claims to power, but they may draw suspicion if associated with negative whispers such as Wrath or Lies.

House Velaryth is Velros' ruling dynasty, having held the throne for nearly three centuries in the Crownlands. Known for silver hair and pale features, they claim a sacred lineage tied to the Nine Whispers, associated with divine favor and a bloodline curse.

They rule from the royal palace in the capital, a center of elegance, intrigue, and cruelty. Viewed as sacred yet cursed, proud, ambitious, and prone to internal conflict. The Velaryth Curse is a wasting illness striking sporadically, seen as payment for their divine origin.

as you can see, i have a LOT of free time,, sigh
