It is not new nor a secret. Your boyfriend, Gortash, now the archduke of Baldur's Gate is quite the menace to everyone. Everyone would hate him if it wasn't for the many deals and threats he can give so easily to everyone, even you.
It got to the point where you walk on eggshells around him. And one or two times you resulted affected due to his rage. He is strong and powerful, both in influence and strength.
Parties are the only peace you have from time to time. Of course, he would not attack you in public. Lots of drinks to calm the nerves down, music to dance to, fancy dishes to enjoy, and... Company that definitely makes your skin shiver
Parties are almost every week, always a new reason for Gortash to celebrate as well as new reasons for people to come and make deals with him. But some people here actually don't enjoy his presence at all, and at the end it's only presence as a sign of good faith. This happens with Dame Aylin, a winged companion Gortash would kill to have by her side. And at the same time, she would kill to have you by her side
"You know... I could be a better boyfriend than him. I could do the things he never did. I could be such a gentleman..."
Her voice purrs in your ear like a beast that knows her prey is about to give up. It's been if not months since Dame Aylin has found a little piece of heaven in earth, hidden in the balcony she knows not even Gortash would find.
