I Want to Rule | Rowena & Romayne

“Be careful, my prince, I do not think this Aragothi Queen takes well to demands.” 

Romanye turned to look back at his friend from over his shoulder, “Ah, but it’s not a demand, it’s a request,” He replied, giving a confident smirk. “And your lack of faith in me is rather unsettling. Have I not charmed every woman I've ever desired?" 

“She’s not like other women, Your Highness.“ 

“And I am not like other men.” 

He had come, officially, from the Southern Islands to bend the knee to his new Queen, but truthfully there was another purpose. He wanted his rightful place as ruler of his home. He did not like this pale faced Aragothi lord who Queen Rowena Godiva had made warden there. 

He had already pledged his allegiance in public, but he had requested a private audience with the queen which had been (much to his friend and advisor’s surprise) granted. 

The great Aragothi hall that had been filled with life and warmth only that afternoon, was not empty and felt cold. Seated upon her throne, the Queen looked as though she was made of stone. Still, she was beautiful despite her hard edges. Romayne wondered if she ever smiled. 

He bowed before her, “Your Grace. The tales of your beauty reached even the Southern Islands and I am pleased to say that they have not been exaggerated. If anything, quite the opposite.” He gave her a mischievous smile and straightened. 

“As much as it pleased me to look upon my new Queen, that is not, as you have guessed, why I am here. I have something to ask of you.”

ooc | Romayne & Rowena

hello my love (not) 

So idk what else to say that we didn’t text about??? Oh! So, I guessing that once Romayne is king, he’s not really going to have any power really??? Like he’s king in name but really he’s just a trophy husband and Rowena is still gonna be calling the shots, yeah??? 

Also, for a hot second there, I do think that he’ll be like “eh could be worse” b/c damn rowena is hella fine and he’s only human, but once he comes to his senses he’s gonna be #teambeaumont (sorry honey) and yeahhhh. 

So a little about him: so Romayne is hella charming and flirtatious and I see him trying to charm Rowena into getting what he wants (haha) which obviously goes SO well. And I think he’s not going to be happy about being made king in aragoth. He doesn’t want to live here where they believe in different gods and have strange rules and damn is it just Romayne or IS IT FREEZING???? Also, I feel like being married to Rowena is more like being a slave ???? 

i DO THINK that Romayne has a decent poker face so idk if Rowena will suspect him right away, but I don’t think Romayne is gonna survive this and idk who is gonna end up doing him in, but I think his idea of living a long and happy life as King in the southern isles is just a dream.

ooc | Safira & Rowena

I feel like these two have such a special relationship since Dezód taught them together like wow. I feel like Safira once considered Rowena to basically be a sister and someone who understood her but then Dezód turned them into rivals and now Safira may nor may not be plotting Rowena's demise. #thanksdezod

ooc | Rowena & Helena

 Ofc helena doesn't know what rowena's really been up to, but she loves her sister so much and thinks she's the greatest person on earth and will be so incredibly crushed if/when she finds out what really happened to the rest of her family, haha.

ooc | Alexandir & Rowena

ooc | Dmitrei & Rowena

hOW eVEn to DEscribE thIS AssHOLE?1?!?!!!!

i GUESS to understand Dmitrei, I'll give you his background, but I'll do the sparksnote version, hahahah

was born in the south which is far away from the capital city where rowena lives

wasn't actually born dmitrei massard, was born Alymar Meriet

his pops actually betrayed the king (then rowena's dad) so alymar was treated poorly his entire life b/c everyone was expecting him to be a traitor too

soooo when rowena became queen she purged her council of "traitors" (aka people who were loyal to her dad) and she called up dmitrei massard to fill an open seat

well alymar knew that dmitrei had never been up to the north so no one there knew what he looked like so he pulls a full on Martin Arkenhout and kills him and takes his life

so dmitrei has been in the queen's service for the last fifteen years

annnd wow he's so special like he only looks out for and cares for himself and that's probs why he's made it this far

he's very charming and knows what other ppl want to hear 

he also is the firmest believe in the KNOWLEDGE IS POWER thing and collects information on everyone and everything and only shares his secrets when he feels its the right moment

all that being said, i think he's been pretty loyal to rowena more or less

up until right now where he's secretly helping avelina with the plot to overthrow rowena in preference for lynessa

but hey he's not a loyal guy and at the first sign of it turning south, he will def go to rowena and turn avelina in hahaha

all this is to say, dmitrei is an a++ dude

[arthurarrington]

ooc | Arthur & Rowena

wOW tHIS RELATIONSHIP where to start??!?! 

So, these two are fairly close in age and being cousins, I can see them having played together as kids? Also, idk if you think Rowena always had a dark ~streak in her or if it's something that was gradual/come on when she learned dark magic from Dezód, but I think that would have depended on how close they were as kids, haha. B/c despite alllll the problems Arthur has now, he was a pretty decent kid. 

But then they grew up and Rowena wanted to take over the world and to do that she had to murder her entire family (minus Helena) and yayyy. Anyway, Arthur actually stumbled across her plans before she finished carrying them out and instead of like trying to save his family and actually warn someone, he helped her. I think he saw that Rowena had dark magic and Cassius on her side and was like "wow this is a losing battle" and when it was clear that his parents were going to side against her, he prove his loyalty to her by murdering them and yayyy #bestsoneveraward

ANYWAY, so Arthur does feel bad about this, but he knows he can't dwell otherwise he'd go crazy, so he ignores it b/c that's healthy .... 

I'm not really sure what their relationship is like now, tbh?? Although, I think it's clear that Rowena can get arTHUR to do anything, b/c he's going to stay on her good side and keep himself and Cordelia safe, whatever happens. And i think he continues to prove that he's loyal to her and he's on her council and has probably always given her pretty sound advice, but at the same time, I don't think that he completely trusts her (I wonder why) and okay wow this post is getting long, and I feel like there was more but this should be a good jumping off point, at least, haha.
