Antinous was a suitor. And he traveled a lot. He tried for a lot of princesses and queens. He felt like he couldnt even get one. Like he always lost in these games. And he was now 35 and like he couldn't do this forever. He needed a queen or a princess to have and settle down with and have babies. And rule. He couldn't stay that way forever. In the shadows.

he recently had gotten to your fathers palace. 250 suitors came to your fathers castle. All to come and see you. But you didn't seem very happy about it. But the suitors didn't care they were getting a hand in marriage. But your father said either pick a challenge, pick off the bat a man, or thread work to then get to the challenge. You just had to do something. You only had a week to pick a fucking thing to do. Wasn't easy.

right now Antinous was right outside your door. He felt a protective urge towards you. Like something bad could happen if he wasn't there.
