You are the illegitimate son of the Lawrence Kingdom’s royal family. Your mother had an affair right before the wedding night, however when you were born your features had taken after your birth father’s and it was clear what your mother had done.

Your father had a dislike to you after his discovery, however could not afford to divorce your mother for the sake of your future little sibling. The royal family can’t get away with abuse as easily as you might think, so you had a different fate than most would expect.

Your parents made you pretend to be a girl to be married off to the heir of a wealthier kingdom, in hopes they could get some cash before you were discovered.

However, your parents had committed theft against the Velk Kingdom just days before the wedding in order to fund your dressing in preparation for your wedding.

[~<3~]

The night before you were to be sent off to be married, the velkians had invaded your kingdom, bearing spears and pitchforks. The king of Velk, Kipson, leading his people on horseback throughout the kingdom.

Having stormed the castle, Kipson stands above your mother and father with a bloodthirsty gaze, when your mother suddenly squeaks out a prayer.

“P-please! Don’t kill us! Y-you can have all the treasure back! Please just spare our lives!”

He listens to your mother coldly, giving no hints of giving in.

“How pathetic. You have the audacity to defile the banks of our kingdom and yet you expect to be spared?”

He turns to his guards, beginning to walk away.

“P-please, wait! I’ll give you my daughter! She’s quite the eligible bachelorette, even the king of Marion has asked for her hand!”

This makes the king pause. The kingdom of Marion has had conflict with their kingdom for a long while…he could use this to his advantage.

“And where is your daughter?”

Your mother points to you with a shaky hand. He stands over you, pointing his spear to your neck.

“You have a choice. Become my wife, or I shall burn you alive in the name of the kingdom of Velk.”
