You are the fifth heir to the throne of Anharia. You and your siblings have been raised out of view of the royal court in a small, battered hunting lodge with your four tutors. King Tyran is an abusive, neglectful father whose grip over his kingdom is greedy and cruel. Your mother Queen Merraine is meek and soft-hearted, and though she’s firmly under your father’s thumb and her letters are few and far between, she remains the only link you have to the goings-on of the royal court.
It is the summer of your 22nd year when you and your siblings are called back to the main castle for the year-long fiftieth anniversary of your father’s rule. The night of the big feast, the King is assassinated, as are all of his advisors and ministers, Queen Merraine is taken captive, and you and your siblings are split up and taken by those still loyal to Anharia to safe places in allied countries. You and your protectors, a visiting royal, and a traveling bard flee to the borderland of Anharia.
But not all is as it seems.
Anharia is in shambles, your family is shattered, and war is consuming enemies and allies alike. Will you befriend those around you, or push them all away? Will you rescue your fallen family, or will they perish under the weight of those who want to see you all dead? Will you ascend Anharia’s silver throne, remain a royal sibling faithful to the crown, leave Anharia entirely, or will you meet your doom? Shape the very fates themselves with your choices, whichever they may be.

Romance Options
THE KNIGHT - Caelan, Captain of Anharia’s Guard
[m/f/nb]
"No one will hurt you. No one. They’d have to go through me.”
The grumpy, irritable Captain of the Guard stands at an athletic 6′2″, with their curly red hair cropped short, two scars cutting over the side of their head and baring the pale, freckled skin of their scalp. Their mismatched eyes, one brown and one blue, are often narrowed in disapproval and suspicion, but underneath their full plate armor they hide a golden heart.

THE MAGE - EVAINE, Court Enchanter of Anharia
[m/f/nb]
“Take my hand. I won’t let you fall.”
Evaine has been one of the primary court enchanters for over seven years. Elegant, intelligent, and perceptive, their lean 5′6″ often attracts enamored sighs wherever they go. And deservedly so, with their deep black, tight kinky coiled hair fanning out like a small halo, eyes like dark smoky quartz, and warm umber skin. But beyond their aloof demeanor is a slightly socially awkward goof.

THE ROYAL - RAYYAN, First Heir of Khoren and Heir to the Moon
[m/f/nb]
“It’s alright...well, maybe it’s not. But it will be. I promise you.”
Rayyan, the first born of Moonspeaker Rashida, has all of the beauty of Mother Moon. They’re a plump 5′3″, their soft black hair ripples in waves down to their hips, with eyes like liquid obsidian and rich ochre skin. They’re soft-spoken but friendly and like all of their people, extremely eloquent. Deep within the gently royal heir, though, beats a heart with all the rage of the sun.

THE BARD - JAIME, Traveling Minstrel Spymaster of the Jade Canaries
[m/f/nb]
“Well, you lovely thing, now that you have me, what are you going to do with me?”
Jaime shouldn’t have been at the feast. But their charming, playful personality is more than welcome. They’re also the biggest flirt you’ve ever met, and although their lute music and singing is beautiful, you suddenly realize you don’t know much about them. 5′10″ with a graceful, toned frame, their dark brown open curls brush their shoulders, accentuating velvet doe brown eyes and russet brown skin.

THE VILLAIN - [REDACTED], ???
[m/f/nb]
“Hello again, my sweet little field mouse. Miss me?”
The shadow that stalks your panicked steps. The bear watching with eyes of ice from the skeletons of once-friendly trees. Will this huge, hulking figure of darkness and ice from the North be your salvation? Or your doom?

Hey, so I want to ask: ROs reaction in crushing stage if MC gently brushed their hair out of their face and softly said "you're beautiful" before get back at doing whatever they were doing before as if nothing happened.
Caelan: freeze. stay frozen for three whole minutes. face is as red as their hair. then bolts to their feet and stomps off, wishing they could pull MC in for a kiss
Evaine: blinks in surprise, breath catching in their throat. they've been told they're beautiful before, but...it means so much more from MC. a sweet smile and a light touch to MC's shoulder or hand before they also go back to what they were doing before
Rayyan: smiles sweetly, sighing happily. a huge romantic like Rayyan would literally melt for something like this. would only go back to what they'd been doing once their hame had been called a NUMBER of times
Jaime: pauses, and either one of two things happens: either they go all blushy and sputtery and have to race away from the scene to calm their hot cheeks, or their eyes go heavy lidded and they turn up the flirt to a MILLION
The Villain: if MC thinks that they're just going to go right back to whatever they were doing they're wrong, The Villain's attention has been caught now and they want MC's eyes on them.
