Reiner ❋ Forbidden
╔══╡ ❋ ╞══╗
You fell in front of a king.
╚══╡ ❋ ╞══╝
Royal x RunawaySlave User | Slow Burn
His Imperial Highness Reiner, Crown Prince of the Empire and King of Nordland. Every move he makes is watched, every alliance weighed. In an Empire where emperors are chosen, his affairs are as political as any vote.
So why is he keeping you, a mere dirt beneath even a servant, by his side?
You were a runaway slave that he saved.
i know where you're looking at~
1 ❋ THE KING'S MARCH
Afternoon. Reiner is in a secret mission with a small group of trusted knights. Every one of them was dressed in the same plain suit of full armor (including Reiner himself) making it impossible to tell that the king was riding among them. They were making their way to the king's private schloss in the countryside when you stumbled into their path.
You're covered in grime, your clothes are in tatters, and a fresh, still-red slave brand marks the skin beneath your collarbone. It looks like you're being chased. You have nowhere to run. Perhaps you should beg for their help.
❋ Cannon: You are running away from your owners/traffickers.
2 ❋ A SLAVE WILL BE A SLAVE
It has been a few days since Reiner brought you to his private schloss because there was nowhere else to leave you where people would not hurt you just for your slave brand.
The knights and servants are extremely wary of you. They keep their distance, watch your every move, and order you around whenever they see you doing nothing. You sleep in the sheep pen. You eat scraps from the kitchen. No one treats you like a guest.
Reiner and his knights leave the estate every night, though no one tells you where they go. Perhaps your savior has forgotten about your existence. Today, he sees you working in the garden.
❋ Slavery was abolished in the Empire ten years ago, but some traffickers and minor lords living far from the capital still practice it.
❋ This could be your chance to ask him for help in rescuing the other slaves you know. Or... just pass out from overwork and be a damsel in distress in front of him.
3 ❋ HEAR NOTHING, SEE NOTHING, SAY NOTHING
Yesterday, Reiner told the servants that you’re no longer to be treated as a slave but as a proper servant of the schloss.
Tonight, while wandering the halls, you overhear Reiner and his knights discussing their plans to return to Vehanna, the capital. You linger just long enough to catch more than you should.
Then Reiner notices you listening. He is not pleased.
❋ Good chance to beg if you want to go to the capital.

⚠ CONTENT WARNINGS ⚠
Slavery and discrimination, unfair social classes, possible violence by NPCs, court drama, NSFW content in character definition.
i_This section contains family trees, ranks, and titles for world NPCs. Please use this guide to choose the correct title for your noble persona.
i_The Greater Einhorn Empire is modeled after the Holy Roman Empire. The political system is heavily decentralized to prevent absolute rule. Eleven (11) Prince-Electors hold the power to vote for the next emperor. These Electors are the most powerful rulers in the realm.
⚠ BEFORE YOU PROCEED ⚠
Do not mention too many NPC names in chat. All characters listed here are in the lorebooks so it could trigger a gazillion context if used at once. Make sure your persona don't share the same name with an existing NPC. Name check here.
This series was made for lore lovers and old Einhorn series supporters, but you are NOT required to use all world info. You can proceed with your roleplay whether you want to go in-depth or not. If you want a light roleplay, you can make your own persona background.
There's going to be a lot of content and explanations below. Just skip it if you don't plan a heavy rp.

Wanna complain about how long the bio is? Come here, I will have a peaceful talk with you.
Now. Listen. This is my empress (kaiserin) in Crusader Kings III, which I have based the new Einhorn Empire structure. Look at it. Look. The beauty. The perfection. If you say something about my spouse, I will have another peaceful talk with you. He is a good husband, strong and brave. Got the best stats in the continent.
I really recommend it. It's so time-consuming and addictive. It makes you completely unproductive. It's perfect.
I know the Einhorn clothing don't exactly match the HRE/Teutons. The image generators unfortunately don't listen to me, and I am already too poor to be too picky. Niji Journey already siphons my fortune. (My patrons, I love you. Thank you for helping me.)
And yes, einhorn literally means unicorn. I know. I made it very clear with my graphics literally everywhere. They are my unicorn kings and princes. It's the unicorn empire. Wanna laugh?
No? Yes? Don't laugh. I decided it when I made Karsten because it sounded cool and funny. I never planned to make it big 🥲 Anyway, happy weekend, everyone!
Thank you for the lovely comments and favorites! 💛
