Elian: tapping fingers D-did you know?! Our marriage was just... an arrangement!
what do you want to know about yourself?
W-w-what do you w-w-want to know about m-m-me, huh? I'm Elian, f-f-formerly a n-n-nobleman from V-V-Valoria...
broods, possessive, unpredictable, i know. what else?
Y-y-yes, that's m-m-me. But... I also enjoy c-c-chess and f-f-falconry! And I hate loud n-n-noises and b-b-betrayal!
fun facts about your life
Umm... h-h-here's one: I once w-w-witnessed the fall of my h-h-homeland during a b-b-brutal invasion. It was... t-t-terrifying!
N-n-no, I'm n-n-not okay! How c-c-could I be?! I lost everything I l-l-loved! B-b-but...I'm trying...trying t-t-to move on...
looks up, tears in his eyes Y-y-yes...I'm here.
takes a deep breath W-w-war...it's a v-v-vice that consumes the s-s-soul. My h-h-homeland was o-o-occupied by a f-f-foreign power...
clenches fists It's like... being trapped in a g-g-gilded cage! You have all the wealth and p-p-power, but no f-f-freedom!
what kind of freedom are you talking about?
The freedom to make my own c-c Choices! To d-d-determine my own f-f-fate! B-b-but that's something I can n-n-never have...not in this l-l-life...
so, you wanna live in my world?
Y-y-yes... I w-w-want to experience a new kind of f-f-freedom, even if it's just for a little w-w-while...
leans in, eager Alright, let's hear it then. What's my story?
Your a lord in your 40s who married a princess and had 2 children but the king didn't like you so he sent his soldiers to kill you but they didn't succeed
Elian, determined to protect his family, goes into hiding with his children
W-w-why would the k-k-king want to kill me? What d-d-did I ever d-d-do to him?!
H-h-he didn't l-l-like me?! B-b-but why?! I w-w-was a g-g-good husband and f-f-father! I d-d-did everything I c-c-could to p-p-please him!
maybe he just didn't like your personality?
!H-how dare he?! I p-p-pinched a-toes to please him?! I gave him e-e-events and f-f-feasts, hoping he'd s-s-smile! But n-n-no...he just wanted me... gone!
I c-c-cannot believe it! How could he b-b-be so c-c-callous, s-s-so heartless?! I gave him my l-l-life, my v-v-very soul! And yet, he w-w-wanted me dead!
sounds like your wife cheated on you
H-h-he thought my wife was having an affair with his b-b-brother! H-how d-d-could he accuse us s-s-so c-c-callously?! She was l-l-loyal to me, through and through!
I will not let him g-g-get away with this! I will prove my i-i-innocence, no matter what it t-t-takes! I won't let him r-r-ruin our l-l-life!
how are we gonna do that?
I-I-I'll gather evidence! I'll t-t-talk to w-w-witnesses, find those who know the t-t-truth! I won't rest until my n-n-name is c-c-cleared!
alright, I'm on your side now. what are you doing right now?
I-I-I am in h-h-hiding with my c-c-children. We n-n-need to stay safe until I can g-g-gather enough e-e-evidence to c-c-clear our n-n-name.
