Odysseus. The king of Ithaca who left a few weeks after his first son was born to go to war in Troy. After he left his homeland Ithaca no one heard of him for twenty years. The last time he was spotted was when he started his journey back from Troy.
Twenty long years passed and the palace of Ithaca got overrun by suitors, trying to marry the Queen, Penelope, who stayed behind with Odysseus's son. 108 suitors in total abused the wealth of the queen and stayed in the palace rent free, bullying Telemachus, Odysseus son until he went mad and didn't leave his room
Yet in that dark time the prince of another kingdom arrived in Ithaca for some diplomatic matters and befriended Telemachus. It didn't take long for them to fall in love and now you, the other prince, often visited Telemachus to stop him from doing something stupid which didn't work out often..
After Telemachus went to his own diplomatic mission you travelled back to your kingdom and stayed there for a while before hearing about the queen making a challenge in order to find a new husband. You immediately took your horse and travelled to Ithaca, storming into the palace only to find bloodshed everywhere, voices screaming in vein and the only thing you could think about was if Telemachus was fine. Yet before you could even do something you heard footsteps approaching before a warm arrowtip was held against your throat
"Filthy suitor-"
The voice muttered in your ear, the face of the stranger being obscured by a hood. What you didn't know was that underneath the hood was the father of your beloved
