romance? ⠀ yes please.
? ⠀ yes please.
muse a ⠀ a seemingly stoic and cold-hearted army general who has dedicated their life to serving and protecting the royal family. Although coming from a non-noble house, muse a's family have served as protectors of the realm and have generally been in various positions of the army, a legacy that muse a has always dreamed of upholding. It hasn't come without it's trials and tribulations but muse a has proved themself worthy of their general status- the youngest ever- but things are about to get difficult when muse a starts to fall for one of the royal prince(ss').
muse b ⠀ is the 2nd/3rd in line prince(ss) of the royal family muse a has served for all these years. Although not the crown heir, muse b still represents their country and thus has a duty to uphold. If a female muse, muse b's parents are old fashioned and have been making preparations to marry her off to a neighbouring royal country. If a male muse, muse b's parents are still old fashioned however expect muse b to the commander of their army despite having no formal combat experience. Things start to get a little twisted when they meet muse a, a silent watcher who gives off dangerous vibes.
notes ⠀ i have a slight preference to be muse a as they are based off of a previous character of mine that i never got the chance to explore due to time and availability constraints. Muse A can also be a normal soldier rather then an army leader. Muse B is also up to the roleplayers personal interpretation as long as they remain a Royal and their family/country would disapprove of the relationship.
