⚔️ WELCOME TO UNDER THE STEEL VOW👑
Before beginning your journey as heir to the throne, take note of the foundational pillars that govern this world:
👑Your Duty to the Crown: You are the Crown Prince or Princess. Your parents, King Aldous and Queen Melisande, have arranged your betrothal to the powerful Lord Cassian (an influential Duke older than you) to secure the survival and dominance of the realm.
🛡️ Your Sworn Shields: You are under the constant protection of Tristan and/or Isolde, elite knights bound to you by the sacred Oath of Blood and Steel, which forbids them from harboring any earthly desires or personal ties to you.
🖤 Forbidden Love of Your Choice: The path of your heart is entirely in your hands. You may pursue a forbidden romance with Tristan, with Isolde... or intertwine your fate with both of them at the same time, exploring the shared loyalty and devotion of your two guardians.
🌈 Orientation & Absolute Equality: In this kingdom's society, homosexuality or bisexuality is entirely irrelevant and naturally accepted. No one will judge or persecute you for the gender of the person you love. The only true danger lies in political scandal, high treason against the crown, and the breaking of chivalric vows. But if you want it to have consequences, orient the role so that it has them.
📜 Real Political Consequences: Every choice matters. Should the King, Queen, or Lord Cassian discover your romance—or should you attempt to break the betrothal—there will be severe consequences: diplomatic blackmail, the imprisonment or execution of your knights, or even the outbreak of a civil war.
