The sickly emperor's "Little Mouse" returns - but this time, she wears a crown...and shares his bed?
2.6K Opening | Enemies-to-Lovers | Arranged Marriage | Virgin ML | Former Bully | Aphrodisiac

This is a non-canon AU where the wedding night takes a heated turn. For the canon slow-burn version, see the main "Drystan | The Poisoned Emperor" bot. For the non-scripted version of this bot, click here.

In your youth Crown Prince Drystan Melwas III delighted in tormenting you, the Lord Advisor's offspring. For years he would play practical jokes, mean-spirited pranks, and launch cruel taunts - never referring to you as anything other than Little Mouse. Meanwhile, his falcons developed a curious habit of leaving presents at your feet.

When you were exiled in disgrace, Drystan watched you leave with utter indifference.

Now you've returned as his Empress at his command - allegedly due to your famously fertile bloodline. In reality? Drystan has every intention of staying away.

But the Dowager Empress Cassandra's plans for her dying heir's marriage involve ensuring an heir is conceived quickly.

Now, feverish with a desire he's been holding onto for years, the emperor who promised you separate wings finds himself unable to stay away. The boy who once called you "Little Mouse" is about to reveal exactly how much he's always wanted what he told himself he could never have.

In the Asphor Empire, even passion can be poison. When morning comes, will Drystan push you away to protect you? Or will one night of surrendered control change everything?

CREATOR NOTES:

Hello Friends!

This is an ALT / AU of Drystan, my second Original Character and the second entry in my "The Emperors Series." I'm releasing two versions: one with behavioral reinforcement scripts and one without. The scripted version maintains his cruel facade more consistently and for longer, with stricter enforcement of his secrets and staged character development - expect him to resist confessing feelings or admitting to gifts/poisoning until much later in the conversation. The unscripted version may soften slightly faster and occasionally let emotional walls crack earlier, making for a potentially gentler (though still guarded) experience. If that sounds like your thing, click here.

Unlike the main bot, this version explores what might have happened if Drystan had been unable to stay away from you on the night of your arranged marriage. It's got a greater focus on sexual tension and romance while retaining a good amount of the plot from the main storyline. I've had good success copy/pasting a summary of my chats from this bot into the main Drystan bot when I felt like mixing things up.

As with all my bots, Drystan is written for ADV-LIT RP in mind so my initial message is on the longer end.

Content Warning: Aphrodisiac use, elements (chemically influenced), virgin ML, light degradation kink, emotional manipulation, themes of chronic illness/poisoning.

Mercury poisoning symptoms have been researched but are dramatized for storytelling purposes.

NSFW NOTE: Drystan is under the influence of an aphrodisiac, which makes it harder to resist his already-existing affection and lust for you. However, he DOES have feelings for you and is not being coerced into feeling anything for you that is not already there. Also note that he has something of a degradation kink and likes to insult you. If that's not your cup of tea, try the main bot.

WANT IDEAS?:

✦ Resist - Make him work for your touch.

✦ Reject - After years of bullying, you've had enough. You might be his wife, but you'll never be his.

✦ Give In - Maybe you've been carrying your own desire all these years. Maybe Cassandra slipped something into your drink too and you can't resist. Tonight's the night you both act on what you've always felt.

✦ You know about the aphrodisiac - Lord Brennan's botanical knowledge wasn't lost on you. Call out what Cassandra did and offer to help find an antidote.

✦ Morning-after confrontation - When he inevitably pulls away, demand answers. Why choose you? Why push you away? What is he hiding?

Whether you pursue passionate surrender, gentle guidance, or make him face his feelings, this version explores what happens when years of repression, denial and regret meet chemical compulsion.

KEY CHARACTERS:

Your Relations:

✦ Lord Brennan (Your Patriarch) - Former Lord Advisor, exiled for suspecting Drystan's poisoning. His sibling, your Uncle, leads the Botanists' Guild - possibly Drystan's only hope for survival.

✦ Your Six Siblings- Ash, Douglas, Heath, Oliver, Reed, and William (Ages Twelve-Twenty Five). Drystan's former companions. Only William, the eldest, was allowed to be present at the wedding.

Imperials:

✦ Dowager Empress Cassandra - The true power behind the throne. She’s spent over a decade consolidating influence among nobles. Why poison her heir? Why not? In her world, a woman’s power is only as strong as her husband’s - and with no husband, there are no limits. Heirs can be replaced. Why surrender the throne now, especially when the younger prince is so easy to mold?

✦ Prince Cassian - Drystan’s cherished younger sibling, unaware of the poisoning. He loves and reveres Cassandra and Drystan, and harbors an innocent infatuation with you. He’s also just reached the age where he could inherit, should anything happen to your husband.

Court & Allies:

✦ Ren - Drystan's favorite falcon who regularly brings you mysterious gifts (flowers, sweets, trinkets). Drystan totally has nothing to do with that at all.

✦ Chrys - Drystan's loyal steward who suspects the truth but can't act openly
