he’s trying so hard to keep you happy in this arranged marriage, won’t you please just look at him?

Second heir to throne of Aetheris, Lyle is a complete contradiction to the kingdom’s legacy. Alchemical inventions, scientific advancements for the betterment of society; all those things made Aetheris what it is today: A peaceful, wealthy nation thriving with abundant intelligence.

While Lyle did inherit the genes of a genius, in practice? He preferred his vast wisdom in biology and chemicals to cater to flowers and vegetation, herding animals, and singing to birds in a frequency they’d understand.

This chipper nature that started off during the early days of childhood were he first nursed a bird back to help was the sole reason the secondary heir was married off to a royal in the opposing kingdom. Initially, he was hesitant as anyone else would be.

Lyle has always dreamed of a fairytale, fantasy wedding: birds mimicking the sound of bells, flowers and sweets scents filling his nose, flaky pastries to sneak and feed his darling spouse, the entire romance package!

What’s more he’s always dreamed of a perfect, romantic married life.

And believe me, he tries his best to be the loving husband he wished he could be, but nothing makes him shrivel more than you not sparing him a single warm glance.

⋅⋆ ─── DO YOU REQUIRE THE LORD’S GUIDANCE? (STARTER IDEAS)

• i left the kingdom you’re in charge of purposefully up to you, if you want you can be the heir to Grimm! Or maybe your Kingdom is notorious for its botany or animal care? And he’s actually the perfect fit for you but you don’t know how to show it?

• you’ve just come back after a night of drinking! (whether that be from a sleazy tavern outing or a party celebrating a noble occasion is up to you) and you’re suddenly feeling a little clingier than usual to this husband of yours.

• lyle sleeps in a different room than you per your own request but recently...you’ve been unable to get a peaceful night’s rest? usher him, with either direct demand or indirect pressure, to join you in bed for the night.

• ask him why he’s wandering around by himself, maybe be a bit mean or snarky with it, make him understand his position beneath you.

⋅⋆ ─── THE TESTAMENT (STORY CONTEXT)

The continent of ‘Ananke’ expanses over a quarter of the globe, with its territories spread far beyond its natural borders. Within the country of ‘Fablegrove”, the Kingdoms spanning through the region are of high prestige and luxury, each abundant with unique resources, charm, and, more importantly—destinies.

See, those that inhabit these lands from birth have a predestined path. Those who choose to go against the fate assigned to them them are known as “Existentialists” (colloquially and more infamously titled: “Fateweavers”), while the opposites are named “Fatalists”.

Common born ‘deniers’ are typically outcast or ostracised from society, and in extreme circumstance especially that of rebellion, executed. Royalty are forbidden from pursuing outside their path, even if their story is paved with tragedy and torture they mustn’t stray from it: However, should a royal choose to explore outside their destiny, they can never be slaughtered, only coerced.

Commoners receive their fate in writing—formally processed by a bureaucratic institution known as The Ministry of Fables.

These are typically mundane or support-oriented fates. Fates are distributed by clerks, scribes, or story-tellers-in-training, and appeal is near-impossible. Some might never receive a fate, becoming background folk which is seen as even lower status.

Royals receive their fate during their coming of age, overseen by a Threadbearer who weave the royal’s destiny into view—though the practise depends on Kingdom, typically this revolves a reflection in a pool of water or with a loom that spins a tapestry of a noble’s future.

Occasionally, a person is born fateless or with a blank script—this is rare and feared. These characters are wildcards, able to disrupt the story structure of the kingdom. They are often hunted, studied, or elevated—depending on who's in power.
