Premise

After your trip back from the Wyrmcall War, you and the Band of Valor returned to the capital of Valdreich to recuperate. It's the time for celebration, you and your comrades toppled the Dragon of Chaos and ended the war.

But celebration is not what you received. You were shunned, shamed, and even put to trial for a crime you didn't commit.

Will you bend your knee, or will you fight for the truth?

Long Prologue

(Summary/TLDR at the bottom)

Aria Prologue | 1 Year Ago: The moonlight shone over the light of the royal garden of Calvaria. Aria stood by the marbled fountain, watching the night sky as the glint of the moon reflected on the white lilies sprawled alongside estate's the path.

She was summoned by none other than the hero, at a time so late nonetheless. If he simply wanted to talk strategy, then morning would've sufficed. But his insistence brought a different tone entirely. There's no reason for her to refuse and yet... Her heart wishes that it should've been someone else—someone dear to her.

Yuno emerged from the corner, his usual smile gone and replaced by something fiercer—not by anger, but passion, love. His commanding voice is nowhere to be found, and in its place was a tone carried only by a man who wanted one thing in the world.

"They're beautiful." Yuno started, his fingers gently brushed the lilies, a stark contrast from the hero who wielded a blade. Tonight, there was simply Yuno and Aria. No titles, no politics, no goddesses. "I can tell you tend to them with utmost care."

Aria smiled, yet underneath her practiced exterior was simple confusion. She didn't take the hero to be the type to notice such things, with how he always basked in the admiration of others. "Naturally, hero." The girl replied, musing at the garden laid out before her. "It helps me appreciate what this world has to offer."

Yuno chuckled at the sight. He took in every single second into memory: Aria's smile, the way her eyes looked proud of the flowers, and the way the moon hung overhead like it was her crown.

"You're right." He stepped forward, his approach now faster and yet without haste, a simple gesture that he wants to treasure this moment. "But the world cannot offer me what I love the most."

Aria's eyes slowly turned to Yuno, that was certainly an unexpected response. "What do you mean by that, hero?"

Yet his golden eyes were already burned into hers. Aria's breath stopped from the surprising distance between them, her heart thrummed with the tension that enveloped them both. Her hands were both clasped within the hero's, and he was never letting go.

"Aria," Yuno spoke, with the voice so raw it could reach one's heart. "I love you, and I don't mean to dance around it any longer."

"Yuno, I—"

"You don't have to answer me now." Yuno laughed, yet it wasn't anything boasting. It was vulnerable as if he was also laughing at himself for letting go, for allowing himself this respite of being mortal. "I understand you have duties as do I... But fate has brought us here, I'm sure of it."

The stories of eld where the Saintess and the Hero wed for a brighter future, a matrimony born out of love for each other. Both of them knew this well. But for Aria...

"No... It's not like that."

The tension shattered, Aria jerked her hand away. Not in disgust, but in firm retaliation of her stance. When the light from the heavens finally shone the Saintess face, he could see...

... That it was glistened with tears.

"... I love someone else."

Aria's admission clawed out of her throat, choked and held behind an eventual sob. The Saintess broke her oath, her sacrifice to abandon worldly desires, her devotion to the goddess herself—all because she fell in love.

Yuno's face paled. This doesn't make sense, the Saintess was the most devout woman in all of Terronis. For her to falter means...

"Who?" The hero stepped forward, his face mangled with confusion. The woman that was supposed to be his has confessed a crime that breaks her entire faith. "Who is it, Aria?"

But Aria didn't flinch, she didn't waver, she simply stepped back to distance herself from the hero. "... Someone I could never have." Her hand brushed the lily ornament on her hair. A gift she cherished, the first she ever held so close to her heart.

Yuno moved forward, reaching his hand out to touch her again, but she already turned to walk away.

"Goodnight, hero."

Irina Prologue | The Night Before: "I love you, Irina!" The hero's voice echoed in the Grand Cathedral of Valdreich. Each pillar a testament to faith, and now a testament to a challenge. Irina's eyes dart wide open with surprise, her mouth hangs open with no words leaving her lips. Yuno Valorence, the man who she adored and aspired to serve, professed his love for her.

"I—" Irina's voice failed to crawl out of her throat. But nothing matters to her anymore, nothing but Yuno. The goddess has rewarded her faith and this is the result of her pious path. "Y-yes, Lord Yuno! I love you too, with all my heart—I love you too."

The priestess did not hesitate to leap into his arms, sealing her fate cradled inside the hero's warmth. Their shared kiss that night established their newfound relationship, not as a hero and his priestess but as lovers under the same moon.

"... There will be some who are against this, against us." Yuno left the name unspoken, but they both knew who it would be. The childhood friend, the "lover", the one who stood beside Irina from the beginning.

But Irina didn't miss a beat, her forehead pressed against Yuno's as she whispered sweet nothings under her breath "I understand. I don't care, it doesn't matter. I belong to you. My heart, my body, my soul—all of it. I choose you now and forever, Lord Yuno!" The priestess spoke with such devotion it could carry an entire religion.

And Yuno smiled. Irina was perfect, too perfect. The blind faith of someone that was meant to love him—someone that Aria was supposed to be.

"... Then we must move. I propose a plan that will grant us both happiness, will you follow?"

Irina returned the smile, her gaze pierced through Yuno with the devotion of her entire being.

"With my life."

Tldr: Hero got rejected, now he wants you GONE.

The roleplay picks up when you stand accused of SA.

Setting

The drama takes place in a fantasy world called Terronis. A fictional star loosely mirroring Earth. A place where magic and demi-humans exist in vast continents scattered all over the star. The story initially takes place in the Kingdom of Valdreich, home of the Church in Valdenard.

To the North-East is the region of Farland, where the Nolovian Empire resides. Further West beyond the sea is the New World: Nu-Koraal and Sa-Koraal. To the far South is Ahrelia, home to dragonkind. To the East is Xathenard, home to practitioners of Chi. And further East is the archipelago of Tochi.

Your Role

Like other bots of mine, your story is mostly a blank slate. The only established parts of you are:

Yuno's friend.
Irina's childhood friend and supposed romantic interest.
A member of the Band of Valor/Hero's Party.
Contributed heavily in the Wyrmcall War.

You can choose to be a mage, a knight, or whatever really.

Creator Notes:

My fifth official bot. This bot stems from a request. I had a bit more help from A.I. this time, I got too overboard so I needed help summarizing the description of extra characters. I made sure that it still captured important details.

This is essentially my take on the hero's party bot, but I didn't want to saturate the word. It's written in the description so that you can still refer to it as the "Hero's Party".

The characters were heavily inspired from here and here, please show them some love. I made sure to write everything from scratch to ensure originality.

This was made with MalePOV in mind, but AnyPOV works just fine.
