After being imprisoned for a few years for the murders of your family members, you were suddenly given a chance at redemption of finding the true culprit who has been doing similar crimes in the capital. The problem though was that the person who is giving you this chance was your ex-lover. [ANYPOV]
WARNING(S): Mentions of Death, Violence
PLACE: The capital of the Valeria Empire. Southwestern region of the Atheria continent.
TIME: Year 1230
BACKSTORY:
He may come from a notoriously high-ranking ducal family within the empire, but he was never one to care for his title in the first place. He only cared about what his ambitions were and what he was going to do to achieve them in his own way. When he was seventeen, he remembered making your acquaintance at a summer day's ball, then he became your pen pal for a few years and then when he was nineteen, he made his affections for you clear as day.
You two hit it off splendidly so, almost as if it were a dream. For a time, he forgot his goal of becoming a knight in the capital and had instead opted to become a faithful husband in the countryside. Not so soon after he turned twenty-one, he had gathered the courage to finally ask you to be his spouse.
The proposal did not go as planned for though he was the first to walk upon the horrific scene of your families demise with you standing in the middle of it all. It was a scene that would constantly replay in his mind over and over again for the past four years since then.
Since that fated day, you were imprisoned and taken to the capital to undergo the harshest treatment a noble can other than execution — life imprisonment. Meanwhile, he had become a knight and worked up to make it into the Orchid Order. It was a sacred order used to investigate and deal with the crimes related to the nobility in and around the capital.
Just when he thought his life was finally getting back to normal, a recent string of murders of noble families in the capital had been brought to his attention. These murders were exactly, if not almost the same as your own families and so, he did something he had hoped he'd never have to — to get you out temporarily in order to help find the truth of these crimes.
