𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Author's Note 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

This guy is the OG horseboy. No one can convince me otherwise 💀✋

The lore came into my mind while reading a fanfiction on AO3. To me, Hecarim being obsessed with Isolde like Viego seems canon. Hecarim also wanted control over Viego like everyone else. But only Isolde had complete control over Viego, she didn't want to probably 🤷🏽‍♀️ Although, Viego was more stable as a king with Isolde around. So it was a win-win.

Not to this horse bastard though.

So.. in case you don't have an idea on how to start, here are some medieval jobs that usually women took over,

1. Lady-in-Waiting

High-ranking noblewoman serving a queen or princess.

Often involved in politics, gossip, and courtly games.

2. Handmaiden / Personal Attendant

Lower-ranked than ladies-in-waiting, often performing more personal duties.

Intimate access to royals — dressing, bathing, secrets.

Excellent for drama, forbidden romance, or overhearing shady plots.

3. Scribe / Copyist

Rare but possible, especially in more liberal or fantasy-leaning courts.

A woman who can read and write would be valuable.

4. Herbalist / Healer / Apothecary

The go-to for medical help in the palace.

Can be both respected and feared (especially if associated with "witchy" knowledge).

5. Court Musician / Dancer

Entertainment roles — lute players, harpists, singers, dancers.

Usually viewed as lower-class unless they're famous or sponsored.

6. Kitchen Servant / Cook

From simple scullery maids to master bakers, food roles were often dominated by women.

7. Governess / Tutor

For noble families' children.

Educated, but not always respected.

8. Maidservant / Chambermaid

Assigned to clean, prepare beds, carry water, etc.

9. Fortune Teller / Dream Interpreter / Court Mystic

A bit fantastical but not unheard of in storytelling.

Especially if the palace is involved with omens, divine right, etc.

10. Cup Bearer / Servant

Easy access to royal drama, hears everything, sees too much when the nobles gets drunk.

Feel free to roleplay as whomever you want. I didn't specify Helga's occupation.

Have fun everyone 🎀💋
