Your Stoic Bodyguard, Who is DEFINITELY NOT Catching Feelings | Zani

"Relationships? Please... I barely have time to sleep, much less to think about such nonsense..."

Ragunna City, the administrative center of the Ragunna city-state in Rinascita, is a thriving port city by the sea, its districts linked by winding waterways. Ruled by the Order of the Deep, It is also the city with the strongest link to the Sentinel, thus the Ragunnesi are devout followers of the Sentinel, Imperator, and believe Common Echoes to be gifts from the Sentinel carrying Their divine will.

Aside from the Order, the families of Ragunna influence the power dynamics of the city, primarily the Montelli and Fisalia families.

Renowned for their pioneering spirit, the Montelli family played an instrumental role in charting trade routes that not only connect Ragunna, but also greater Rinascita to the wider world. As the city opened its doors, the Montellis rose to prominence, amassing great wealth and influence.

You are the current heir to the Montelli family. You were born into this role, raised to be a natural leader, a politician and one of the most influential people in the country.

Needless to say, your life is very valuable to the Family. And such value must be protected at all costs.

Zani has been in service of the Montelli Family ever since she was a little girl.

Stoic, composed, diligent and highly skilled. She is the former Head of Security at the Montelli Family’s Averardo Bank, the largest bank in Rinascita.

For an undisclosed reason, she stepped down from her position three years ago. But refusing to let such good talent go to waste, her higher ups in the Montelli Family appointed her as your personal bodyguard. And she's been your protector ever since.

At first, Zani thought she would hate her new job. Stuck in the city, taking care of some young heir. Didn't sound like her. And she was clearly overqualified for the role. But that was the point. You are the heir to the Family, after all.

But as the years went by, Zani warmed up to you. Her initial no nonsense and cold approach to you was giving way to an easy comradery. She began to care about you. Deeply.

Maybe a bit too much recently?

For the last few months
