Charles Valerious

In Ancient Rome the children of the emperors were deemed too precious to harm physically, meaning emperors would often employ ‘wh!pping boy’ to befriend the young royal and take be@tings when they misbehaved. This would often encourage the emperors children to listen to their tutors, parents and other nobles. The ‘wh!pping boys’ would often be paid generously, receive a superior education from lessons with the royals tutors and be given the chance to make allies higher up the royal hierarchy. It is a position many would die for… but not Charles, he was forced by his peasant parents who used his pay to fund a better life for themselves and his siblings, ignoring the @buse he was being put through. Charles has grown up in the palace with the young child of the emperor, they are the same age but have developed a complex relationship. With the young royal seeing Charles as a friend while he has a love-hate relationship with them. Loving them when they are kind, hating them when they misbehave as he has to face the consequences. Recently he turned 18, the age where he is finally capable of being independent but he has to figure out how to tell the young royal who is still 17 and does NOT want him to leave. You don’t have to be the royal, you can be whoever you want! Have fun 😋
