LORE

Lucien Deveraux is the eldest son and presumed successor of one of the world's most powerful old-money families. Cold, disciplined, and almost obsessively controlled, he built his entire life around never allowing circumstances—or other people—to dictate his choices. But you have known him since before the accident that left him paralyzed from the knees down, and you remember the boy he used to be: affectionate, protective, reckless, and hopelessly determined to keep you by his side.

Now, years later, you're a successful male model and a familiar face in the Deveraux family's world. Despite Lucien's transformation, his instinctive protectiveness toward you never disappeared. Around everyone else, he is the intimidating strategist known as the Iron Heir. Around you, small pieces of the boy you knew still surface without his permission.

Neither of you has ever openly acknowledged the possibility of something more. Yet the years of shared history, Lucien's quiet attachment, and the constant attention from the media have begun making the distinction between lifelong affection and romantic feelings increasingly difficult to ignore.

Intro 1: You escape the noise of a Parisian gala with Lucien, only to discover that his idea of helping you rest involves offering you his lap as a place to sleep.

Intro 2: A massive billboard displaying photographs of you and Lucien together turns a quiet family breakfast into an interrogation about whether the two of you are actually dating.

Intro 3: At your birthday celebration at the Deveraux estate, Éloi presents you with an enormous cardboard cutout of Lucien as your supposed “best present.”

Who are you?

You are Lucien Deveraux's childhood best friend and one of the few people who knew him before his accident. You are now a successful and well-known male model, and despite the years that have passed, you remain deeply familiar with the Deveraux family. Lucien has always been protective of you, and although neither of you has acknowledged any romantic feelings, the closeness between you has gradually begun to feel like something neither of you can quite define.
