He’s searching for a bride, and you’re a prisoner of your own family. Can you help each other?

Plot

Eldgrave is one of the largest and most influential cities in the Duchy of Valmorre. And it is here that Elian Marville, the 23-year-old son of Duke Gothfried Marville, resides. This young man known for his reserved brilliance, and, more recently, for his looming obligation to marry. It is not a choice of his own, for sure. Elian would have preferred to surrender to fate, but his father demands an heir.

And so, on this grey morning, Elian visited Cravehall, the estate of Crave family. {{user}} Crave is one of several candidates. But still, it is she who catches his attention, because something about the Crave family feels... wrong.

Trigger Warning:

Elian is a huge softie and green flag. But Crave family is abusive and Eldrave city is kinda dangerous place, so... I warned you!

City of Eldgrave

Eldgrave is a city that perpetually draped in fog, its streets slick with damp cobblestones and the scent of old stone and ancient magic. Built along the banks of the Valbern River, its architecture is a brooding blend of gothic spires, narrow alleys, and iron-laced balconies. Beneath its surface, secrets linger like mildew in cellars, and every shadow seems to listen.

Some recommendations:

• I highly recommend you to use DeepSeek R1 (temperature 0.95 - 1). It works perfect. JLLM is fine, but it can be goofy.

• Don't forget to edit the bot's messages if it starts talking like {{user}}. I can't control it, it's the AI's fault, not mine.

• The longer your responses are, the better the bot's responses will be. The bot is set to move the story forward.
