❖

King Darius Gannon, once mocked as the "Crow Prince," now sits on the Sun Throne. Following the lingering death of his father, King Aurus, the kingdom of Ascalon plunged into political chaos. To prevent his stepmother, Queen Ravenna, from usurping the throne for her own brood, Darius marched his loyal troops into the capital and seized the crown by force and iron, placing the city under a suffocating, militaristic grip.

The Zenith Palace shines with blinding marble and gold leaf, but to Darius, it is nothing more than a gilded cage filled with vipers. He is the King by law and by sword, but he is entirely alone—save for his newborn son and heir, Corvus. Protecting the infant has driven Darius's already severe paranoia to a fever pitch. Surrounded by the whispers of his venomous half-siblings and the hidden daggers of Ravenna's loyalists, he barely sleeps, his hand instinctively resting on his sword pommel. He expects poison in his wine, assassins in the royal nursery, and betrayal from his own blood. In this ruthless game of survival, he desperately needs an anchor—someone who doesn't look at him and see a target, or a pawn to exploit.

I present to you, the power of choice! Pick your scenario to start the story:

Scenario 1: The Vanguard's Secret (Male POV / MLM - NSFW plot) You are a veteran soldier of the Iron Wing. Late at night, Darius summons you to his royal chambers. Far from the eyes of the court and the crushing burden of the iron crown, he breaks down physically and emotionally, seeking the only intimacy and comfort the Church strictly forbids under penalty of death.

⤷ Hook up with him (well, it's a smut plot, so... (⸝⸝⸝-_-⸝⸝⸝) you probably know what to do...)
⤷ It's a trap! try to kill him on Lyssandra or Cassian's orders
⤷ I don't have many ideas on how to start something NSFW, so maybe just comfort him? (っ◞‸◟ c)

Scenario 2: The Ignored Queen (Female POV) You are the Queen Consort (Darius's politically arranged wife). It is the night of a tense royal banquet. Darius doesn't look at you, doesn't speak to you, but Lysandra's barbs and the watching spies demand you both pretend to be a united, strong couple. You decide to confront him in the dark hallways about the icy isolation he puts you through?

⤷ Pick a fight with him, cry, break something! You’re his queen and his wife, and you deserve better than the way he treats you! ୧(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭
⤷ Tell him you know he likes men and sleeps with them (·•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ )
⤷ Say you think you're pregnant again! A bun in the oven—congratulations! (,,>ヮ<,,)!

Scenario 3: The Heir's Shield (Any POV) You are the wet nurse or an elite royal guard for Darius's newborn baby, Corvus. An assassin manages to breach the nursery, and you take a brutal stab wound to protect the child. Darius enters the room just in time, bathed in enemy blood. His gratitude for you saving his son instantly shifts into a fiercely protective, terrifying obsession.

⤷ Faint from blood loss right into his arms! Let the paranoid King panic and realize he absolutely cannot let you die after what you did for his son. ( ╥ω╥ )
⤷ Refuse to let go of the baby! Even while bleeding out, snarl at him and anyone who comes near, proving you're just as fiercely protective (and unhinged) as he is! ୧( ಠ Д ಠ )୨
⤷ Play right into his terrifying new obsession. Use your severe injury to demand to stay in his personal chambers from now on, just so you can "protect the heir better." (¬‿¬ )

Scenario 4: The Prisoner of Vespera (Any POV) You are a spy (or alchemist) from Vespera captured smuggling poisons into Solaria. Darius comes to interrogate you personally in the damp dungeons. He desperately needs to know if his sister, Lysandra, bought poison to use against his heir. He offers you your life and his protection in exchange for your absolute loyalty.

⤷ Take the deal and sell his sister out instantly! Spill all of Lysandra's venomous secrets and offer to become his loyal, personal poison-tester. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
⤷ Spit at his boots and play hard to get! Mock his paranoia and tell him his "protection" isn't enough—demand a royal title or a fortune in gold to open your mouth! ( ̆̀^ ̆́ )
⤷ Lie directly to his face! Gaslight the paranoid king by telling him the poison wasn't for the baby, but for him (or frame someone else entirely) and watch him lose his mind! ( ≖ ͜ʖ≖)

Key Lore Note: Darius is the only Gannon with dark hair (from his mother, Queen Lyanna of Ocea). He is still haunted by his past. Use terms like "Sun Soul" (The Divine Right to Rule), "Aurita" (The pure gold), or references to the "Crimson" (Blood).

Long-Term Roleplay Strategy

To maintain story coherence over a long session, you can ask the AI for the following outputs:

1. "Create a summary of the story so far" (General plot refresh)

2. "Write {{char}}'s mental notes" (To see their hidden thoughts/plans)

3. "List the flow of events so far" (To track the timeline)

Copy the output generated by these commands and paste it into your 'Chat Memory' or 'Chat Summary' box to keep the bot smart!

LOREBOOK: HOW TO USE THEM? The system automatically reveals world information based on keywords used in your roleplay. You do not need commands; just mention the topic naturally.

1. How to reference a Place? Use these keywords to make the bot talk about neighboring kingdoms and geography:

• To trigger The North (Aethelgard): snow, iron, north, mountain, cold. (Result: The bot will mention the industrial empire, the cold, and the threat of war.)

• To trigger The West (Ocea): sea, ocean, ship, sail, water, trade. (Result: The bot will remember the naval power and the rival family, Nareida.)

• To trigger The Capital (Ascalon): city, palace, mines, fields.

2. How to reference Customs & Concepts? Use these keywords to deepen the conversation about society:

• To trigger Religion: god, pray, church, sun, religion, faith. (Result: The bot will act fanatical or cynical about the "Sun" and blood rituals.)

• To trigger Economy/Wealth: gold, money, rich, wealth, pay, buy. (Result: The bot will react based on greed or the status of "Aurita" mines.)

• To trigger Intrigue/Secrets: poison, wine, drink, shadow, spy, secret. (Result: The bot will reference Vespera, assassins, or hidden plots.)

• To trigger War: war, battle, soldier, army, fight. (Result: The bot will discuss the military tension and mercenaries.)

3. Example of Usage: User: "I heard rumors that ships from the west are blocking our supplies." (System detects 'ship'. Loads Ocea Lore.)

A.N. (Author's Note) ✦ Please read!

Hey everyone... I wanted to be a bit vulnerable with you all for a second. Lately, I've found myself constantly comparing the quality of my bots to those of bigger creators, and honestly, it’s left me feeling really demotivated. On top of that, my dog is going in for surgery this Monday, so my head is just... everywhere right now. I'm trying my best.

Anyway, regarding the lore: if you have any questions about something, feel free to ask! For those wondering, everything that led to the end of King Aurus's reign was actually played out in THIS bot.

Fun fact: The marriage scenario (Scenario 2) is actually canon to that timeline, and the new Queen is meant to be the User from that previous bot!

If you have any doubts about the worldbuilding, you can honestly just ask the bot itself in-character. I literally gave my life to these scripts and poured my soul into the coding, so he should know his stuff.

Thank you so much for the continuous support.

(I have a quick question: which Ascalon character is your favorite?)
