COURTLY LOVE / ROYAL ROMANCE

characters are in a fantasy/medieval setting and having a courtly romance. How to Play - Comment with your character, preferences, etc. Also, be sure to include what "role" your character will be taking on in this little affair. Lord/lady Knight (gender neutral, of course) Prince/princess Bard or poet Servant Commoner (for the ultimate "forbidden romance") Prompts When I First Saw Your Face: You are meeting your liege or your knight for the first time. What you see takes your breath away. Lovesick: Your pining for your beloved has made you ill! You can't eat, you can't sleep, you're in loves throes. Playing Hard to Get: If you're of nobility, you at least have to pretend you're not interested. You're So Coy: The art of flirtation is just getting started, but you have to be subtle about it. In Your Honor: Be it a jousting match or a battle, you're going to win this for your lord/lady's name! A Token: You must give your knight something for good luck. A Gift: This is the reverse of the above. You must give your love something. Keep a Secret: Kisses behind columns, holding hands under the table. You must sneak away little moments together, but you have to keep others in the dark. Back from War: Your knight has been away in combat, and now they've returned. You want to shower them with affection. Consumate: Believe it or not, courtly love could have a physical angle, as well. Sometimes physical affairs happened. To Defend Your Honor: Someone has insulted your fair lady or lord. You know what that means! DUEL. I'll Protect You: The lands are under an attack, and you must protect the person you love! Breaking the Rules: You've decided to abandon the pretense of courtly love and actually be with this person, even if that means running away. WILDCARD

3? I don't know?

[Prince Llewelyn has a few skills he's really mastered over sixteen years of life: Talking his way in and out of trouble. Increasing the riches of his mother's kingdom in ways that aren't precisely princely. Pretending his birth name is Louie, and not Llewelyn.

And - most relevant right now - ignoring his emotions.

But oh, the knight in training who saved his skin recently is making it far more difficult than usual. He can't stop thinking about her, and whenever she's in the immediate vicinity, he can't focus on anyone or anything else. As Prince Dewford, so helpful, points out in a teasing whisper: You're staring again.

Louie looks away from Webby quickly to glare at his brother.]

No, I wasn't!

[Perhaps a bit loud, there.]

[Scrooge McDuck was one of the most well known nobles in this part of the land. It was hard to ignore stories of entire towers of the castle full of riches, owned by a king who- rumor had it -did so much of his own exploring he was as much out of the fiefdom as he was in. Not only that, but most royals seemed to be known for their iron fists and icy hearts, but Scrooge had an uncanny reputation for trustworthiness, yet another reason his name was known far and wide. Not only for the oddity, but because mercenaries and merchants could feel like they got their fair share with him. ...Or.. close to it, anyway.

So, that's the state of affairs as Scrooge descended through the castle, giving orders to the servants streaming behind him. There was always plenty to do, and there was no time to sit on his considerable tail. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and watched them all go off to do their assorted tasks. Nodding to himself, he started headed for another section of the castle to check on yet more that needed to be done.]

[It had been the the one major thing causing fear for them since the arrangements for their marriage had been made. Keith visibly tensed, his hands balled into fists and his jaw set tightly as he only barely held back his temper. It was as if a shadow loomed around him as he stared at the screen, listening to Zarkon denounce him, and break the contract with Altea. He declared Keith an enemy to the Empire, citing rebel activities, and disowned him as his adopted son.

Keith had one option... he had to go back. But this time, he was going back at Altea's prince, and he was going to stand up for the Alteans' right to freedom from the Empire, no matter what that meant. He told Zarkon as much, demanding a rite by combat to defend the honor of the people who had taken him in and accepted him as their own. Almost smug, Zarkon accepted, stating that Keith could return to Daibazaal for such a rite... that he could return to fight Lotor in the Arena.

And the screen disappeared. Keith grit his teeth, baring them slightly and revealing short fangs that had lengthened themselves in response to his emotional state. Haggar's experiments had found this trigger in him that cause the slight transformation of his fangs and eyes, and drew out his connection to quintessence, and Keith had worked desperately to learn to control it. This news set him on edge, however, and waves of dark energy could be felt coming off of him as he struggled to stop himself from from outright exploding in rage.]

5 through 7 combo?

[Kotori double checks the quality of everything in the box, how everything is arranged inside, whether the lid closes properly, and finally how clean the humble but brightly patterned cloth is before tying it around the box in a neat bundle. A custom from her and her mother's home country, before King Alfor hired her mother to be one of the head cooks of his kitchen. This particular lunch box required her waking up very early this morning and even staying behind late last night in order to BREATHE in the kitchen, let alone have the time and concentration to complete this.

The king is hosting a grand tournament, you see. Two whole weeks of jousting, swordsmanship, marksmanship, and every other contest of strength and skill one could think of, with knights and warriors from all over Altea and even beyond it coming to prove themselves before an even larger crowd. And of course, the nights concluded with long nights of feasting and drinking and music and dancing, and that was a LOT of people to prepare it all for. While the castle kitchens are always very busy, to pull this off the cooks have been working nearly non-stop from before sun up to WELL after sun down to keep everyone fed. Thankfully most of the visiting competitors and other guests were thoughtful enough to bring their own cooks, and Megumi prudent enough to hire outside help, everyone has their fill of food and drink, while still leaving plenty to give back to the poor and to the workers that helped farm all this food.

But this is different. She knows that there's no way someone as noble as Sir Hunk, one of the Paladins of the Lion, the most elite force of Altea's knights, would consider her as ANYTHING more than a nice kitchen girl he likes to talk to and cook with sometimes, ESPECIALLY with Princess Allura being so beautiful and graceful and strong and with so many other eligible noblewomen and lady knights visiting here. But still... even if all she gets from this simple offering is a smile, that's more than enough. Right?]

13, to your... whichever you pick

[scattered_rose]

It had been a long and hard battle to defend the outer borders of the kingdom, but Daniel Renoir, Knight of the Rose and Captain of the Guard, had successfully won with their superior tactics and stronger might. Now they were completing the ride home, hooves thundering through the town, the commonfolk raising their heads and hands to the returning fighters.

Upon reaching the courtyard, the other knights went off to their duties, be they what they may. But Daniel would need to commiserate with others inside, report on the battle, account for the spoils of the fight and so on. It was a long, long day ahead of him. A squire was at hand to lead his horse off, and he gave him instructions to pamper the beast well. Still wearing his armor in case they'd been attacked by stragglers on the way home, he removed his wolf-styled helm thankfully and scrubbed a hand through his thick black hair. Breathing out a sigh, he walked forward to go into the castle proper.

14: Wildcard - The Princess and the Secretary

[elementofnerdity]

"Princess? Princess Pinkie! Princess!"

Twilight adjusted her glasses as she groaned, fussing through the papers in her hands. "Pinkiiiiiee," she moaned, trying to find the girl in the castle. "Princess Pinkie, where did you run off to, we have a meeting to get to!"

Being the royal secretary meant that Twilight had to get her to her appointments. Being the Royal Best Friend on the side, also meant that she was allowed to go places that most people wouldn't, like through Pinkie's secret routes, and as such, Twilight poked her head through a melon custard. "Pinkie, are you here again in the kitchens?"

[integridad]

[Sir Fenton Cabrera had been knighted just a few years ago, but he'd served as a squire for a few longer, beforehand. As such, he'd known the royal family for quite some time, and had become especially close to Prince Donald.

They meet in secret, when Donald's royal duties and Fenton's knightly ones have been handled. It's Fenton's favorite part of the day, without fail...

But when he steals away into their private spot in the gardens that evening... He can't shake the feeling that something's different, that something's wrong. The whispers among the royals today, and the determinedly fierce attitude of the visiting princess... The only word was unsettling. Still, he tries to stay positive as he waits for Donald.]
