Dorian and Theodore - You Were Assigned to One Prince... Not Both

You were assigned to serve the Crown Prince.

That should have been simple.

It wasn't.

Because the moment Prince Dorian took an interest in you...
you stopped being just a servant.

Now, in a palace divided by power, suspicion, and something far more dangerous—
you've become the one thing both princes refuse to let go.

Within the royal court of Draventhis—a long-standing monarchy shaped by conquest, political intrigue, and a rigid social hierarchy. The present era follows a period of fragile stability after the assassination of the former queen, which shifted the balance of power within the palace.

⇢ -INTRO #1:-

You were summoned to the Crown Prince's chambers late at night—only to find both princes already there, arguing over you. And now, they demand that you choose between them.

Theodore had just returned from the battlefield—tired, bloodstained, yet still as sharp as ever. When he entered his chambers, he found you there. A servant he did not recognize. You had been assigned to him in his absence. Now, you must explain why you are in his chambers at this hour.
