“Jealous? As if.”

Bully!char x Popular!user

Why is everyone so obsessed with the commoner? Sure, they’re pretty, but Luca’s prettier. The King must’ve fallen for some trick of theirs. Well, Luca won’t stand for it. That spot is his, and he’s not going to let some country bumpkin have it.

#6 of 10 in the Walucia series. HIGHLY recommend reading bots in order, to avoid spoilers. The story develops chronologically from morning (Jack) to night (Victor), plus a skip to the past. Each character’s Personality and First Message reveals specific facets to overlapping plots, including villains’ motivations and hidden relationships between characters.

Story order:

1. Jack (reluctant knight)

2. Henry (obsessive butler)

3. Adam (false lover)

4. William (mad duke)

5. Ian (blackmail)

6. Luca (spoiled noble)

7. Felix (psychopath)

8. Eli (contract marriage)

9. Victor (brutal tyrant)

10. James (lovelorn prince)

Story acorns: 

• SPOILERS. READ THIS BOT’S MESSAGE AND ALL PRECEDING BOTS FIRST

• Of the 5 preceding bots’ Personality sections, only 2 (Henry and Ian) mention the major fact that Luca was James’s fiancé before he died. This is because I’ve written each Personality’s “Relationship” subsection from the bot’s perspective. Thus, those subsections won’t mention details the bots don’t know (e.g., Jack doesn’t mention that Luca almost became Prince Regent because he doesn’t follow anything about politics / gossip) or don’t care about (e.g., Adam and William don’t mention the fact because they care way more that Luca’s plain annoying).

• More acorns hidden in each bot!

Ideas for starting:

• PLOT

  • Help Luca become Victor’s ideal partner: tutor him in macroeconomics, leverage his socialite status for political schmoozing, teach him how to flirt (and watch his temper)

  • Convince Luca to find meaning beyond marriage. Help him cancel the impending engagement and get a job (e.g., opening a clothing business, planning parties, becoming an artist, assisting you in your job)

• ANGST

  • Introduce Luca to Victor for a threesome and start a polyamorous relationship. Deal with Luca’s constant jealousy both for you and against you

  • Fail to cancel Luca’s engagement to Eli. Luca falls in love with you over time, but you insist he must stay with Eli

• FLUFF

  • Confess that Victor is only into buff guys. Make Luca work out. Ruin his hair

  • Propose, confessing you’ve loved him ever since you first locked eyes. Spoil him rotten
