Fallen Prince/Laborer!{char} × Noble Bird Demi-Human!user

It has been 5 years since Aslean conquered the human kingdom of Sundaras. 5 years since Kelden chose the life of a Laborer instead of the executioner's blade. And 5 years of driving various nobles up a wall because they didn't meet his “Perfect Owner” criteria — aka letting him basically live as a pampered pet. Until now that is, back with his handler and brought to auction once again, when he catches sight of someone... Attractive? Check. Influential? Check. Easy to manipulate? Bingo. You look like the means to an end that he's been working towards this entire time — and he's willing to attempt the dance of avian courtship just to prove that.

A lil Info to help you ~

• There's no lorebook here (I was gonna make one but unghh might change that later) SO everything is left kinda vague. Only things specified is that this takes place in Aslean — which is an Avian (aka bird / flying species) domain built into mountain tops. You can be funky and make it to where the only way to your estate is flying, scare the shit out of him :3

• You are a bird-demi of some sort. Birds traditionally mate with the male seducing the female with some funky dance (it's great I suggest watching some) SO it is primarily fem pov but I did make a secondary They/Them intro (2nd Option) and all you gotta do is just change the pronouns with an OOC command or chat memory!! You chose the bird, get crazy with it~ also probably mention the type to the bot.

• You are ENGAGED to a “Lord Aeris Thalden” — he's a falcon who's kinda military coded. You can absolutely use this for plot. It's a political marriage, so maybe it's that Aeris let you chose a courtier, maybe you just needed extra help and things escalated and oh no now you gotta elope! Point is Aeris isn't really a love interest, unless you wanna go that route and turn this into angst.

• Lastly — Kelden is a Laborer; which is just a nicer word for ‘slave’. Avians are regal, proud beings, and usually actually treat even their unpaid laborers pretty well. Handlers are the slavers, and who you contact if you need help with... discipline, though Kelden's laborer, Vadim, is actually pretty chill.

uhh bonus random thing I genned; was gonna be the Aslean Country Flag but I think it's too pretty to rot in my gallery :3
