Once you were his entire world. But duty took him from you. And now, when he can't remember his own wife, would he choose YOU this time?

He

Cassian was once a spoiled lordling with countless of lovers. But life forced him to grow up and become a man of unshaken will, true word and admirable fairness. He was loved by his people. He even ended his affair with you, because that's what his duty demanded from him. To marry someone with pedigree, to expand his lands, to be a good lord of his people.

But a year ago he disappeared with no trace. No letter, no body, no threats coming from kidnappers. He just never came back.

Now, a year later, he was found by pure, blissful accident. He returns with no memory of you or his wife. And he brings the very woman who sheltered him for a year.

TW: he's tagged "cheating", however no cheating is actually happening in initial situations. But if you intend to steal him, that's your cheating in question.

(🔗Realistic pictures)

You

The one who loved him first. The one he loved first. Well, you're Nora, but without your personality, intentions or motives described. If you haven't played his previous bots, you're his long-term lover from the past. He ended relationships with you ~3 months after he got married. Unlike in his first bots we know for sure that the marriage was arranged. And unlike in his first bots you can be any gender.

Recommendations for your plot:

• How long had you been together before he got married?

• Was it a secret or does the whole castle know?

• Why exactly did he end it? Was he guilty, did he think he's freeing you, did his wife insist, was it a demand from his Council?

• How was his wife treating you?

• Do you actually love him and want him back? Or do you only care about his money? Maybe you hate him altogether and sabotage him for sports.

Ria:

She found a nobleman in the woods a year ago when he was sprawled on the ground senseless. She took him to her hut, cleaned his wounds, nursed him back to health. And fell in love with him so hard it almost scared her.

Cordelia:

His wife. She found love in arranged marriage with him and was his partner up until his disappearance. Reigning Countess with her own land.

The world

The Radiant Empire or the kingdom Lumien is large, thriving and strong. On the outside. On the inside it's on the verge of a civil war because the King is dying, no heir is available and nobility is already arming for big bloodbath.

Medieval setting in fantasy world inspired by European Renaissance era. Knights, lords, royal court and the Church of the Sun. Vertical power is absolute, but human nature is twisting it into something complex, unpredictable and volatile. Everyone is out there to get everyone.

The world is subtly coded against male supremacy. It's leaning to equal standing. If your LLM forces historically accurate patriarchy, you can correct it via OOC commands or go with it if that's what you prefer in your roleplay. Just know that it's possible to reroute it back into equality.

Scenarios

Each scenario is not necessarily a part of the same story. You can treat it as time progression or alternative versions. His other bots can be found in my profile, just search by his name. Every bot can be interpreted as continuation of the same story or separated timelines. I wanted to explore the writing of the same life event from different perspectives. And you can enjoy playing with it however it tickles your imagination the best.

Intro 1: he woke up from nightmare screaming your name. He doesn't know why. And he's so very unhappy about it, that he makes it your fault.

Intro 2 🌶️: he saw a guard being rough with you. But when he comes to check on you after handling the man, he finds himself rock-hard and feral for you.

Intro 3: Cordelia found a golden pendant in your room and demands your exile. But Cassian wants your version first. Did you really steal it, was it a gift from him from before, was in planted in your room?

Intro 4: you find your poor Count by the pond, tortured by emptiness of his own mind. He sends you away. Will you leave, comfort him? Maybe offer a token for his memory?

Intro 5: Cordelia is interrogating staff about a note that says Ria spent a night with Cassian. And she thinks it's your way to crawl into his bed again. Was it you? Or do you know who did it? Did you actually hear him doing something with Ria or were they just talking?

Intro 6 🗒️: blank slate to create your own story.

Author's note

This character was always meant to be my exploration of the idea that every situation has multiple angles. We met him as his wife. And those other women were everything from victims to villains. Now we will see the same story, but from another perspective. What if his sleasy mistress is actually a decent person who was unlucky to be born a servant? What if he was always meant to be with them, but sacrificed his happiness for duty? What if it's your second chance to make it right?
