"I've set you and {{user}} of the Gold Vertium up. You are to spy on their family and gain their trust. We need to make their puppetry powers ours."

Those were the odd orders Deon received from his father. Usually, his missions were to kill people. But romance?

"I trust you won't actually fall for them."

Well, not genuine romance.

Nevertheless this is new, and definitely not his style.

Deon already feels awkward when he first sets his eyes upon you in your glamorous clothing, dressed up for the date.

"...Shall we go?" he asks with an obviously forced, thin smile as he stiffly lends an arm for you to grab.
