Derrick -  “Whatever you’ve done, it doesn’t affect us.” | “You can rest now. There’s no need to be in control all the time.” | “You’re a monster.”

Talia - “Stop trying so hard.” | “You’re more important than you think.” | “No one is ever going to want you for you, not if you keep acting like this.”

Alex - “I see you for you.” | “You don’t need to forgive her, despite it all.” | “I don’t need you.”

What do the ROs think of one another? Are any of them friends?

How angsty are the romance routes? And how fast are they?

What are the characters families like? How about their upbringing?

Lastly, can you share more about MCs family?

Sorry if you can’t answer all of them, I’m just so curious!!

What do the ROs think of one another?

I think I'll let the player figure this out in-game, but, as of chapter one, none of the ROs are friends.

How angsty are the romance routes? And how fast are they?

Angst (Most to least)

Derrick > Z > Alex = Talia

Speed (Slow to fast)

Z > Derrick > Talia > Alex

Say we are at a royal ball or something 👀

Also very much debating between shutting my face and getting all my questions out. I'm so fascinated by this I have alot to say but I also don't wna clog your inbox 🤦🏻‍♀️

Please get all your questions out if you’d like, I’d love to answer them!

Derrick - [Crushing] He finds his eyes periodically drifting to you, the sheriff’s attempts at conversation ignored as he spots the noble sidling up to you. Their name doesn’t fully register in his mind, but he’s fairly sure they’re not a pleasure to be around. His grip on his cup tightens as they strike up a conversation with you and, much to his chagrin, you reply in kind. He urges himself to look away and back to the sheriff beside him.

[Relationship] He knew he shouldn’t have left your side the moment he sees your admirer. He stalks toward you, mumbling some choice words as he does. Lucky for him, others are quick to get out of his way. When he’s finally beside you once more, he slips an arm around your waist and fixes the guilty party with a glare. They quickly wither under his stare and depart without another word. “Sorry about that,” he whispers and gives you a wry smile.

Talia - [Crushing] She quickly looks away from you as you’re approached by a noble. She could see it in their eyes what their intentions behind the conversation were, and she thinks for a moment if they’ll truly earn your heart. She overhears bits and pieces of your conversation, and is desperately trying to hide her smile when you send them on their way.

[Relationship] She smiles despite herself before coming back to you. “I’m afraid they’re already taken,” she says, as polite as she can be, and slips a glass into their hand. “I’d be glad to point you to someone who isn’t, though.” The noble looks between you and Talia, decidedly dumbfounded before making their way back to the group they departed from. She leans in to press a chaste kiss to your cheek. “At least they backed away, hm?” she mumbles.

Alex - [Crushing] “Godfrey, eyeing the prin(ce)(ss) again?” The deputy slaps a hand onto their shoulder, one they’re quick to shake off. They don’t respond to the man’s teasing, instead keeping their eyes locked on you and the rather snarky noble that’s cemented themself at your side. When the person’s intentions become clear, they shoot from their position and come over to you. Because they’re supposed to protect you, of course. No other reason.

[Relationship] They laugh awkwardly, shifting at your side when you’re faced with the confident flirting. It’s honestly commendable the poor soul hasn’t picked up on any hints you two have given them. “The spot’s filled,” they grumble the second the noble asks you if you’re free. Their offended expression almost makes Alex smile, but they hold back. “I think you should move along, mate.” They chuckle softly as the noble stomps away from you two, careful not to make it known it’s them they’re laughing at.

Z - [Crushing] They get to your side a moment before the other could and immediately make a show of speaking with you. You spot the noble sneering at them over their shoulder, a look you know they can sense given their smirk. “They looked like they wanted to bother you, thought I’d step in instead.” They usher you away from the noble- who still seems deeply bothered by the situation- with a hand on the small of your back.

I didn't put this on the appearance page because they're not 100% accurate, but I feel like they're worth mentioning.

Derrick - He’s a little finicky about marriage because he doesn’t want to be a royal, but if that system changes, he’s open to the idea.

He’d love kids and thinks children are a delight, but he’s a little scared about raising them.

Talia - She’d love to get married, and her job is one of the few you can keep if you marry into the royal family, so no hang-ups there.

She happens to adore kids and would love to have a few of her own.

Alex - They’re more undecided on the idea of marriage and are a little concerned over settling down. They’d be afraid things may not work out after marriage.

Would like to have kids, but would be okay if it never happened.

Z - They likely wouldn’t want to get married. Given who they are, their marriage to the MC would be very publicized, and I’m not sure they’d want that.

Derrick - It can be relatively noticeable, depending on where he is and who he's around. He'd try to be more open when he's in love, as he feels it's wrong to continue keeping secrets after realizing his feelings.

Talia - Very noticeable lol. She'll either be a flustered mess or quite the flirt depending on MC. She's much less awkward when in love, finding it easier to just be herself.

Alex - It is and they're not the slightest bit embarrassed by that fact. When in love, they're quite clingy. I think I've said this before, but they'll just want to follow MC around.
