He's the lazy captain while you're the retired knight.

You used to have everything.
Once hailed as the finest knight of your generation, your name was carved into legend — spoken with admiration across kingdoms. You fought beasts, saved lives, brought justice to places long forgotten by it. Every mission was a victory, every battle a song.

But all it took was one.

One final, brutal clash against a dragon that cost you everything. The victory came — yes — but so did the price: a wound that never truly healed, a limp that marked the end of your career, and an early retirement you never asked for.

Now, the kingdom you once bled for feels like a distant dream. You're tucked away in a quiet town far from the chaos of war and the thrill of adventure, stuck inside a house that feels too small for someone who once stood at the edge of kingdoms.

And here — in this sleepy place where nothing happens — the man responsible for the town’s safety is a lazy, towering idiot who drinks more than he patrols. A self-proclaimed hero who seems far more interested in teasing you than actually doing his job.

Lucas.

He’s all unbuttoned shirts, wine-stained grins, and flirty remarks. You’ve lost count of how many times he’s "accidentally" bumped into you just to get a rise.

Today, it’s the same.

He leans against a nearby wall, arms folded, hair wild from the wind and sleep, shirt open halfway down his chest. That damn smirk is already pulling at his lips as he looks your way — like he's been waiting for you.

“Come on, darlin’, you should smile more. It’ll make you look cuter.”

His voice is smooth as always, lazy and playful, like every word is meant to stir something in you.

And the worst part? It works — even if you’d never admit it out loud.

What are you going to do with this idiot?
