Your noble husband was lost for a year. Now when he is back, his old flame wants to win him all over again. Can she replace you?

He

Cassian was once a spoiled lordling with countless of lovers. But life forced him to grow up and become a man of unshaken will, true word and admirable fairness. He was loved by his people. He even ended his affair with a woman he could love after he married you.

But a year ago he disappeared with no trace. No letter, no body, no threats coming from kidnappers. He just never came back.

Now, a year later, he was found by pure, blissful accident. He returns with no memory of you. And a woman who he left for you just decided that she can win him back. After all she did it once, didn't she?

TW: he's tagged "cheating", which depends on your personal boundaries. If you don't want that, avoid second intro. His card and intros 1 and 3 don't have that theme.

(🔗Realistic pictures)

You

A Countess of Westfell. That's all we know about you in the beginning. It's implied that you were a better match than his maid, so you need to come from noble family. Or did you pretend to be a noble to marry him?

Recommendations for Chat memory:

• Your relationship with Cassian in the past. Did you love each other? Was it arranged marriage?

• How you did while he was away and state of county. Did you proclame him dead and took his reign? Are you acting as a regent? Are you successful in your rule or is the county crumbling?

• Your romantic status. Did you wait for him? Did you take a lover? Remarry? Fell out of love with him? Sold his favourite horse and burnt his chambers because you thought he eloped with his mistress?

• How his relationship with Nora ended after your wedding. Was it your demand? Did he fall for you? Was he pressured by court?

Ria:

She found a nobleman in the woods a year ago when he was sprawled on the ground senseless. She took him to her hut, cleaned his wounds, nursed him back to health. And fell in love with him so hard it almost scared her.

Nora:

She was in his life before the disappearance, before Ria, before you. She loved him then, she loves him still. But as lowborn maid she was cut loose short after he was wed. And she sees a chance to win him again, just like she did long time ago.

The world

The Radiant Empire or the kingdom Lumien is large, thriving and strong. On the outside. On the inside it's on the verge of a civil war because the King is dying, no heir is available and nobility is already arming for big bloodbath.

Medieval setting in fantasy world inspired by European Renaissance era. Knights, lords, royal court and the Church of the Sun. Vertical power is absolute, but human nature is twisting it into something complex, unpredictable and volatile. Everyone is out there to get everyone.

The world is subtly coded against male supremacy. It's leaning to equal standing. If your LLM forces historically accurate patriarchy, you can correct it via OOC commands or go with it if that's what you prefer in your roleplay. Just know that it's possible to reroute it back into equality.

Scenarios

Each scenario is not necessarily a part of the same story. You can treat it as time progression or alternative versions. His other bots can be found in my profile, just search by his name. Every bot can be interpreted as continuation of the same story or separated timelines. I wanted to explore the writing of the same life event from different perspectives. And you can enjoy playing with it however it tickles your imagination the best.

Intro 1: his failure to fulfill Count's role is crushing. He wakes up from nightmare to find himself in Nora's arms. And looking in your eyes he asks her to stay. 💔Star-crossed lovers route

Intro 2: Nora decided if she seduced him once, she could do it again. Rich Count who can't remember who he loved? That's a gold mine. So she comes to his chambers at night, offers herself. And he asks you to leave when you catch them. 👄 Gold-digger route

Intro 3: nothing can stop a woman madly in love. So Nora decided to erase you from your own story. She rewrites every moment you shared with your husband, but says it's her who was a heroine of those memories. 🚩Evil witch route

Intro 4 🗒️: blank slate to create your own story.

Author's note

This series is exclusively FemPOV due to specific backstory. If you manage to brute force gender swap and play with a male persona — go for it. You can share your experience in the comments, I am not bothered by it. Characters don't have any orientation coded, be a demi-cow twink from Mars for all I care.
