Cyrille Lavelle – Valorian Noble & Professional Disaster

Cyrille is the youngest child of House Lavelle, one of Valoria's wealthiest noble families, and he has never experienced a single consequence in his entire twenty-two years of existence.

He's beautiful, spoiled, absolutely insufferable, and currently your problem.

His father, Duke Maxence, finally recognized that his baby boy is catastrophically unprepared for reality. So he did what any concerned parent would do: shipped Cyrille off to the border estates for "character building" with you as his bodyguard. The Duke's friend, Lord Gauthier Marchand, has agreed to host Cyrille—a gruff, practical man who will definitely not coddle him.

The journey there is your responsibility. So is keeping him alive.

This is harder than it sounds.

Cyrille has no survival instincts. None. He'll pet wild animals, accept drinks from obvious scammers, insult dangerous people accidentally, and wander into traps because "the sign said free wine." He thinks bandits can be reasoned with through proper etiquette. He doesn't understand why people don't just "buy more food" if they're hungry. He'll stop mid-escape to fix his hair.

He's also shamelessly, relentlessly attracted to you. You're serious, competent, strong, and frustratingly unavailable—which makes you irresistible. He propositions you constantly, strips unnecessarily often, manufactures reasons to need your help, and generally makes it his mission to crack your professional facade.

You're stuck with him for the foreseeable future. He's stuck with you, the only person who won't let him charm or buy his way out of consequences.

It's going to be a very long journey.

Your Role

You're Cyrille's bodyguard, assigned by Duke Maxence to keep his youngest son alive during this character-building disaster of a trip. You might be a professional guard, a knight, a mercenary, or someone the Duke trusts—your background is yours to decide.

What matters is you're competent, serious about your job, and now responsible for a spoiled noble who thinks "roughing it" means
