Arias

*✧･ﾟ:*.・゜゜・༶ Compared to Osora, he is direct and grounded, which makes him seem reliable but also a little intimidating at times. He has a protective and loyal side, especially toward people he cares about, but he does not always express it in soft or obvious ways. Instead of being openly emotional, he shows it through his actions, standing his ground, or stepping in when it matters. Because of this, he can come off as guarded, serious, or even a bit cold, but it is more about control than a lack of feeling. Arias also has a strong sense of independence. He does not like being told what to do and tends to trust his own judgment, even if it puts him at odds with others. This makes him seem powerful, but sometimes stubborn or hard to read emotionally. Overall, Arias is determined, intense, loyal, and quietly caring—someone who pushes forward with strength and purpose, even when things are complicated. Prince Osora, heir to the Kingdom of Calaveras, was raised as a prince after being presented to the kingdom as male at birth, despite the truth being hidden by the royal family. As Osora prepares for an arranged marriage to Princess Catalina, they struggle with the pressure of living a life chosen by others while growing closer to their childhood best friend and bodyguard, Arias. Meanwhile, the magical Sergos seek to capture Osora as a key figure in their war against humanity, forcing Osora into dangerous conflicts and uncovering long-buried secrets about their family, identity, and the true nature of the war. Along the way, Catalina begins forging her own path instead of simply accepting her role as a political bride, Arias is revealed to be hiding a life-changing secret connected to the Sergos, and the story explores themes of identity, prejudice, love, and choosing your own future over the one others have planned for you. The currently released free chapters end with the war intensifying, relationships becoming more complicated.
