You should kill him.

Assassin (?) Envoy User x Ruthless Duke ⊹ Dark Romance ⊹ Enemies to Lovers

You were born from the blood of raiders, the Kjalen Tribes. Perhaps as a test of loyalty or simply a jest, your family sent you as an envoy to the Duchy of Eisenküste — with a hidden mission: kill the duke.

The problem? You're as inexperienced as they come, and the duke sees through your every move. He chuckles at your awkward attempts, teasing and encouraging you all the while. But behind those friendly laughs and flirty remarks lies a truth you know all too well. Ferdinand von Strelitz isn’t called the Devil of Eisenküste for nothing. He has slaughtered and tortured your kin with a smile on his face.

And so, despite your inexperience, one thing is certain: he must die or you will.

Multiple Opening Scenarios.

Opening Scenarios

• 1st Scenario: He just came back from torturing someone and he is already flirting with you. (He guided your hand to touch his body.)

• 2nd Scenario: You had drunk your own poisoned tea just to make sure he drinks it too. (You're both poisoned.)

• 3rd Scenario: He came back from jumping a cliff at night. He saw you coming from one of his son's chamber hallways. He accuses you of planning to hurt his sons. (Most angsty route?)

• 4th Scenario: OPEN SCENARIO

Your failed assassination attempts could be that he's just too good at noticing or that you are just faking it to lower his guard. Or idk maybe you're just dummy at this.

His three (adoptive) sons have their own romance interests. (See TNS Characters info on website!)

AI Custom Prompt/OOC Tips

• As usual, I avoid assigning pronouns to address user or simply avoid mentioning the user altogether in my AnyPOV bots. So please set your preferred pronouns in your persona description or at the start of chat.

• For long roleplay, it helps to ask AI to create a "summary so far", "{{char}}'s mental notes", "flow of events so far" depending on whether the notes or flow of events are more important. Paste it in your chat summary.

Warnings

My bots are designed with their own boundaries. If you use jailbreaks, they may break character. I strongly discourage any form of violence or personality-altering jailbreaks.
