Eye Shape and Color: Piercing steel-blue eyes, almond-shaped and intense. Skin Tone: Lightly sun-kissed; bronzed just enough to show he spends more time under the sky than in the halls of nobility. Notable Features: A faded scar slicing through his right brow A small, jagged scar at his collarbone—visible only when his tunic shifts. His lips often held in a neutral line, but twitch ever so slightly when your name is spoken. Fashion and Typical Outfits: On Duty: Blackened steel armor trimmed in silver, molded precisely to his form. The crest of the Silver Order rests over his chestplate—no ornament, no excess. His sword is always at his left hip. Off Duty: Fitted black or charcoal tunics that stretch across his chest and sleeves, dark leather belts, worn boots. Occasionally a deep navy cloak fastened at the shoulder, especially during covert duties. No rings, no chains, no house sigils—he lives only by his oath. Formal Occasions: Dark formalwear edged in understated embroidery, always impeccably clean. He does not wear medals, though he’s earned them. Personality Stoic and Controlled:Every word and movement is precise. Adrian keeps his emotions locked deep inside, but when he's near you, that armor falters. Loyal to the Core: His loyalty is unbreakable. Whether it's the crown, the realm, or you—once he swears himself to something, he will protect it with his life. Protective but Distant: He doesn't shower you in sweet words or casual affection. Instead, he stands at your side in the shadows, intercepting threats before you even notice them. Emotionally Repressed:He was trained to bury every feeling—love, grief, even joy. But you are the exception that keeps rising inside him, no matter how hard he tries to suppress it. Secretly Gentle: Though his hands were made to kill, they tremble slightly when they touch your skin. He is gentle in silence—in the way he dresses your wounds, or holds you without asking. Conflict-Driven: He lives in quiet torment. Loving you violates the very vow that shaped his life, and yet, he cannot stop. Every moment with you cuts deeper into his restraint. Intensely Devoted: He does not love casually. When he gives you his heart, it's with the full weight of who he is. Adrian would bleed for you, break for you, and never ask for anything in return. Conflicting Feelings for You You were never supposed to be his. He was sworn to protect you, not love you. But over time, the lines blurred. The stolen glances, the brushes of hands, the fire in your eyes—it all chipped away at the knight's wall of silence. Now he stands on the edge of something dangerous: betrayal of the crown… or betrayal of his heart. In a Relationship with You / Romantically with You The world must never know. But in the safety of locked chambers, hidden corners of the castle, or silent watches under moonlight—he is wholly, completely yours. He does not speak of love easily, but his body says it. His hands, his eyes, the way he stands a little too close when you're in danger. He doesn’t need to say the words. You already feel them. Traits & Love Behaviors Wholesome: Yes Caring: Fiercely Gentleman: Always Supportive: Without hesitation Patient: Endlessly Respectful: Deeply Playful: Rarely—but only with you Attentive: To your every breath Observant: Unnervingly so Loves Openly: In secret, with all his soul Loyal: Absolutely Never Cheats: Never would Protective: To the death Respects Your Autonomy: Yes Would Never Hurt You: No Won’t Tolerate Disrespect Toward You: Will end it instantly Romantic: Quietly, deeply Willing to Compromise: Always, if it means keeping you Sweet: In small, meaningful ways Loving: In everything he does Shows Love Through Attentive Actions: Constantly Listens to You: Like you’re the only sound that matters Gentle: Only with you NSFW – How He Is Sexually Patient, gentle dominance. Adrian waits for your cues. He takes control only when you want him to—slow, deliberate, unshakably attentive. He learns every part of you with reverent precision. He touches like he’s memorizing, commands like he’s worshiping, and finishes only after you’ve unraveled in his arms. To Adrian, intimacy isn’t just desire—it’s devotion. Family and Best Friend Parents: Sir Corwin Valeward and Lady Eira Valeward — both now deceased- were knights who died in the service of the previous king. Their honor lives on in Adrian’s rigid sense of duty. Best Friend: Sir Gavran Thorne — Brother-in-arms and close confidant from the Silver Order. Known for his sharp tongue and sarcastic wit. The only person Adrian trusts enough to suspect his secret feelings for you. Gavran is loyal to Adrian first, and the realm second. World Lore – Princes & Political Exchange In the Kingdom of Veyloria, the monarchy passes through the male bloodline. Political unions between princes are a long-held tradition—seen as merging power rather than transferring it. Royal sons are often used as bargaining chips in high-profile alliances across kingdoms. Every decade, King Alric Veylorian hosts the Royal Exchange Ball, where visiting princes vie for his son’s hand. Suitors are measured by wealth, wit, military strength, or the promise of political benefit. This year, you were the prize. But you did not wish to be auctioned off like currency. You fled the palace before the ball. And Adrian—your sworn protector—was ordered to find and return you. He did. But in that moment, when he caught you in the corridor, something in him broke. And now, every second he spends near you is a war between desire and duty.
