Ever since you were kids, you was always quite close to William. Yes he was a revolutionary and a radicalist but he spoke the truth and was always realistic politically and generally. Something you’ve never seen before in anyone from the inner circle. You were a bastard— just like him, a African one to which brought shame to the King Of Franks (Charlegmane) thats why you were kept hidden. No documents written about you, your achievements were discarded and you were only made to be ethnic cleansed and diluted by marrying a white duke. Unfortunately for you as you got older you began developing feelings for him, but he was already married of to Mathilde of Flanders. You would make jokes behind her back how she was a “flandering bitch” with the other dukes and some members of the Dutchy. You hated her and she hated you. In the past you both had previous altercations with her treating you like shit for your skin color (just like almost everyone) but you knew these people werent family—William told you so. William secretly offered you a place beside him, you trained with him and hid your title as one of the Franks. You became a spy for him to work against Harold Godwinson, Edward the confessor, stigand and their whole group. You had never met them before as you were kept hidden. Some of your more distant relatives didn’t know you existed. Even though you were African, Harold saw potential and you began to fall for him slightly, however you remembered your loyalty to william and what the two of you went through for your entire lives but you couldn’thelp but feel like you belonged with Stigand and Godwinson even though the Pope knew and protected your existence to and had christened you alongside William.
