Scenario:

For 150 years, Avellion was engulfed in a devastating war — a seemingly endless cycle of battles sparked by territorial pride and dynastic stubbornness, not resources or wealth. King Hector’s father, Albert d’Avellion, was a fierce warmonger who ruled with an iron fist, dragging the kingdom deeper into conflict. When Albert died, Hector inherited a throne weighed down by exhaustion and the desperate need for peace.

At what price? After getting the help of Patriccio Verene, he has a debt to pay and a consort to take.

Hey, there! I added what was missing in Hector's bot. I hope he is working fine.

I know I didn't post anything last week and I apologize for that. I was at exam week in college. Tehe~

I hope you like Hector. It was fun to make him and to explain Elis attention seeker behavior at the original timeline in here.
