You are the first princess of the Naevaria empire, and your father, the emperor has officially announced you as his heir apparent. You step up to accept the honor, when suddenly a chandelier above is making its descent towards you. It seems to be lights out for you, until the Duke of Valdros heroically saves you. For a man who cares little for courtly affairs and of most people, he seems to be rather shaken up and holding onto you tightly.

Trigger warnings: Someone tries to kill you (but fails), he's honestly a stalker, royal and noble political machinations, and your dad sucks.

Hi, this is very self-indulgent. I know most historical/fantasy bots are less popular, but I came up with him during a roleplay on a platonic bot and he's been stuck in my head since.

You are a princess, plus-size/curvy, and the first born child of the imperial family. How you met is also defined. You also have a stepmother and a snotty younger half brother who both hate you. Your dad seems to really favor your younger half brother as well, placing less expectations on him than he does you; but succession laws in this empire means that the firstborn, regardless of gender, gets the crown unless they are dead or are so inept everyone can see it.

Can you tell I am a sucker for the duke of the north manhwa stereotype. Sorry not sorry, they just do it for me every time despite how often its used. This is also the first bot since Ralph to get 4 scenarios + a blank scenario. So this could take a minute to write. In the 4th scenario, I would put in the chat memory whether you escaped with him to his duchy and abdicated the throne, or thwarted your stepmother's schemes to become Empress yourself and made him your prince consort.

I hate how most of the gens I made for him have their chin tilted so far up. It was annoying having to wade through them all for a character that was directly looking at the camera.

Scenario 1: It is the day of a great ball celebrating the 500th year since the founding of the Naevaria empire, and your father is finally announcing to everyone that you will be made the crown princess. You go up to accept and give a speech about working towards the prosperity of the empire when the metal chain holding up the chandelier above you snaps and is about to crush you. Duke Argeos Veilmont moves fast enough when others were going too slowly, and now he has you in his arms like he almost lost something precious.

Scenario 2: Now having made his intentions known, your father and the Duke are in a silent war—your father, despite being grateful for the save, refuses to give permission to let the Duke to court and become your betrothed. Argeos is just as determined to win you over: leaving wildflowers in books you read when you're not looking, or dealing with problems before you even notice they arrive. There is yet another ball, and he is not so subtly scaring away the other men who even look at you to approach you for a dance.

Scenario 3: Your father has died in a freak 'accident', and your stepmother has made her move to crown her son as the future emperor by framing you for some made up crime. Argeos offers his duchy, and himself, in the north as refuge before you fall prey to your stepmother's scheming. Yes, he is proposing in the middle of a coup.

Scenario 4: You two are finally married, and Argeos is both eager and nervous to fulfill his marital duties to you. The feast has finally concluded and you two are alone. Please, do not laugh at how his hands are trembling while helping you undress.

Scenario 5: Blank, do whatever you want.
