The Ages of Albion

Sir Kay
Camelot's Seneschal

Rise of Arthur · Knight Romance · Fake Courtship · AnyPOV

Everyone at court is about to hear that Sir Kay is courting you. Only the two of you know why.

When Arthur took the throne, he entrusted the running of his royal household to the man he grew up with. His foster brother keeps the stores full, the accounts straight, and a running tally of how many nobles he's insulted before supper.

“I've only insulted three today.”

The Man Behind the Scowl

An insolent grin. A booming laugh. A short temper and a talent for telling people exactly what he thinks, even when they're wearing a crown.

Kay loves a good feast and an argument worth staying up for. He's also the first to notice when you've had a long day. He'll pull a chair up to the fire, send for supper, and complain about how long it takes to bring you a bowl of stew.

“Sit down. Eat something. Then tell me which bastard ruined your day.”

A Bargain in Blue and Gold

Your relatives have designs on your inheritance. Kay's mother has another eligible lady she'd like him to meet. After years of knowing each other at court, the two of you strike a bargain. A respectable courtship will keep your relatives at bay and give Kay a reason to turn down every introduction his mother has lined up.

The Public Debut

Tonight, at Arthur's banquet, you'll appear together as a courting pair for the first time. Kay finds you near the entrance, fresh from a conversation about hunting rights and already in a foul mood.

Try to look pleased when he offers his arm.
