#figarland

A - affection ( how much do they give, what kind )

Garling is not one to show physical affection when in public, he will put his arm around you to let everyone know you belong to him, but deep kisses and intimate touches are reserved for the privacy of the Figarland manor.

Another way for him to show off his love is dressing you in beautiful gowns in the color of the family's coat of arms.

When you’re alone Garlings demands you to sit on his lap while he finishes his mission reports, the sound of your heartbeat against your chest brings him some much needed peace.

B - best friend ( how would they act as a best friend )

The Commander of the Holy Knights doesn’t make "friends", he would properly court you with a kiss to the back of your hand and send you letters expressing his desire to see you. There would be no platonic preamble.

C - cuddle ( thoughts on cuddling, how they cuddle )

When you’re not spending time as his personal lap cat, Garling enjoys it when you’re warming his bed instead. He will find you lying on your side while dozing off and join you, wrapping his large body around yours. He could hold you like that for all eternity and be happy.

D - domestic ( what domestic things they do )

Garling passes all chores around the mansion off to his many servants and slaves. Since you'll become the wife of a Celestial, you’ll also never dirty your hands cleaning the floor or burn your fingers at the kitchen stove.

"Don’t concern yourself with a broken plate or cooking dinners for us, all of that is slave labor, my dearest."

E - extreme ( what times would they become too much to handle )

When Garling returns from long missions you will often find him agitated and his muscles tense, he means no harm to you, but if you dare to upset him, he will lash out and demand to be left alone. He can also be very controlling, preferring you to stay home when he's away or keeping a collar with a tracker around your neck just to be sure.

F - fiancé ( thoughts on marriage )

The sacrilege of marriage is highly important to Garling, after courting you for a few weeks and finding out every little detail about your life and personality, he will be on his knees proposing to you. Denying him will not be an option, if you reject him, he would find another way to keep you at his side forever.

G - gentle ( how kind are they with you )

Although Garling treats most people, wether they are human or Celestial, with great disdain or mild disgust, he makes an exception for his beloved. He will hold you when you cry, ensure all servants know to treat you with special care whenever he's gone and you will be left wanting for nothing. He will spoil you with all the riches of the world, all he asks for in return is a loyal and obedient wife.

H - hugs ( thoughts on hugs, how often they will hug you )

Garling enjoys coming home to be greeted by you at the doorstep with a kiss and his arms wrapped around your waist. He doesn’t enjoy hugs in public.

I - I love you ( when they say "I love you", thoughts on it )

He prefers to show his love with actions instead of words, hearing an "i love you" from him will be a rare occurrence outside of the bed. But when Garling has your favorite flowers arranged on the bedside table or brings home delicacies from his hunts - you will know that you’re deeply loved.

J - jealousy ( how often they get jealous, what do they do about it )

Sir Garling is a very jealous man, he's possessive over you and won’t tolerate other man speaking with you outside of the occasional polite greeting or bow.

At galas and balls he will keep you on his arm, sometimes he does need to leave your side, but he prefers to hand you to one of his knights so they can ensure your safety.

Should Garling ever find a man crowding you at a party, his wrath will be unmatched and the perpetrator will regret ever laying his eyes on you.

K - kisses ( how often they kiss you, what kind of kisses they give )

From the step of the door to the dinner table and bed, Garling loves to press his lips against yours to claim you as his' over and over again. In public the most you will receive is a polite hand kiss or his lips ghosting over your neck, but at home he will devour and choke you.

Garling treats kisses like a battle and he's determined to win each of them by dominating you with his tongue, sometimes slipping his thumb between your lips to keep you nice and open for his advances.

"I will never tire of tasting you."

L - little ones ( thoughts on kids )

Once you’re married, Garling will expect you to bear him an heir in return for all he does for you. More than one, preferably a dozen or as many as you can give him.

He requires at least one son who will inherit his legacy, a boy who will be cherished but also trained rigorously. All of his other sons will become knights as well, he will accept nothing else.

Your daughters will be pampered and spoiled like princesses, they do not need to hold a sword or train with their brothers. When they’re old enough, Garling will marry them off, though he's incredibly picky when it comes to partners and would rather keep his girls all at home.

"Bearing the future heirs of the Figarland bloodline is the greatest honor, are you ready to surrender your body for that privilege?"

M - mornings ( how are their mornings spent with you )

Garling likes to wake up before the sun rises to have enough time for his extensive skin and hair care routine. It takes at least three servants to finish styling his hair in time for when you’re awake and he can give you a kiss and whisper "Good morning, my beloved" into your ear.

Breakfast is served as a large buffet in the dinner hall, it's far too much for two people, but Garling wants you to have all the choices wether you’re craving something sweet or rare sea food.

He will leave shortly after to attend his duties, but if he finds the time, he will call you on your den-den-mushi throughout the day to ensure that you’re safe and sound.

N - night ( how are their nights spent with you )

After finishing up his reports, executing all criminals and keeping the holy land safe for another day, your husband will be tired, but his work is never done. He often stays up late into the night, sitting hunched over his desk with maps and books lying astray.

You have to choose between keeping his side of the bed warm for when he's ready to join you or you dare to sneak into his office and lure him into bed with you.

"Will you help me find some peace of mind, dear? Come, sit on your throne and show me how much you love me."

O - open ( how open are they with you, how long it'll take them to open up )

Garling keeps all of his emotions tightly wrapped up to appear strong and indestructible for the safety of all, his enemies may never see his soft side, but you certainly will. If only small glimpses of it, a single tear shed after a battle, so small that he wipes it away and you can hardly believe it was ever really there.

It takes a while longer for him to reveal the secrets of Marie Geoise to you, he will tell you about their Lord Imu-sama and their powers.

"You’re more than a servant to me, you’re my wife and as such, you should always know the true weight resting on my shoulders."

P - patience ( how much patience do they have with you or others )

Garling has little to no patience with the knights serving under him nor his servants, he expects complete obedience and utter perfection and will punish the slightest mistakes. This attitude has given him quite the fearsome reputation as a merciless Commander.

That, however, changes when he's with you. Even if you’re a bit clumsy or forgetful, he will treat your weaknesses like gifts, find excuses for them and scold anyone who dares to comment negatively on them. You are his property and Sir Garling owns only the most pristine and immaculate treasures.

Q - quizzes ( how much they remember about you )

Before Garling had proposed to you, he had searched through every book about your family lineage, sent out slaves to spy on you and made a game out of finding out every tiny personal detail about your life. He wanted to know it all before kneeling down for the woman haunting his dreams. Unlike other men, he will never forget your favorite color, the type of underwear you prefer or the way you smell after a long night of making love to you.

R - remember ( what is their favorite memory with you )

Garling remembers the moment he first laid his eyes upon your body like it was yesterday, he's grown so fond of the memory that he commissioned an oil painting of it which hangs above your canopy bed as a constant reminder when his obsession began.

Wether he picked you up from a slave market or you were the daughter of a lower noble glancing at him at a gala - he found you to be the most beautiful crown jewel of Marie Geoise.

S - security ( how protective are they over you )

Extremely protective, some may call it a sickness, but Garling could not bear the thought of his wife getting hurt by anyone other than himself.

So he puts a collar with his name on you when you beg him to leave the safety of his estate. You’re allowed to ride through the gardens and forests on his property with at least two guards watching your every step. Other than that, he will demand to be at your side when you go into the city or attend gatherings. You’re a part of him now, your independence was taken from you and replaced by his strong hands guiding you.

If you try to leave the manor without his permission, he will hunt you down like a rabbit and drag you back home, where you’ll be punished accordingly.

"This hurts me more than I could ever hurt you, darling."

T - try ( how much effort do they put into your relationship )

Although Sir Garling is a very busy man with many responsibilities, he will make sure to find time to properly treat and pleasure his wife as much as she desires. The only times when he won’t be able to satisfy you will be when he is sent away on long trips and has to rely on letters to express how dearly he misses you.

U - ugly ( what problems do they have to fix for a healthy relationship )

A marriage to Garling will be anything but what humans consider healthy, he sees nothing wrong with how controlling he is over your life. In his eyes, every time he grabs your arm and pulls you close or spanks you for your disobedience is an expression of love. If you believe you can fix him, you will be sorely disappointed. He's a stern and stoic man, your pleads will not make him forget about hundreds of years of traditions.

The men of the Figarland family have always been this way with their women, protective and aggressive like wolves defending their territory. You will either submit to his ways or be crushed by them.

V - vanity ( how focused are they on their looks )

It's important for Garling to always look prim and proper at outings, he needs to be the best dressed and groomed man at every party. For the hunting festivals he enjoys wearing bright colors and extravagant outfits to show his opponents how confident he is that he'll win.

His hair alone takes forever to get done, but no matter the time, he will not leave the house with his blond hair hanging down. Though you do find it quite appealing how it makes him look like an elven king.

W - whole ( would they feel whole without you )

Before Garling found you, he lacked no confidence in himself or his abilities, but he did worry he wouldn’t find a wife amongst all those mind numbingly boring debutants who tried to get his attention. They were only after him for his family's blood, not because they truly adored him and were willing to worship him like a God.

You are different in his eyes, even if you were hesitant at first, gazed at him with fear like a prey staring at their predator, only you can fill that hole in his cold heart.

X - xtra ( random scenario )

Every three years Garling takes you along for the great hunting festivals which takes place on an island refusing to join the world government, the punishment for such disobedience is death. So you take a ship and sail along with your horses and hunting dogs. You two get to spend quite a lot of time together at sea, giving you many days and nights to be intimate and satiate Garling’s ever growing hunger for you.

He will show you a few other islands on the way, feed you exotic fruits, gift you every piece of jewelry you show interest in ( he never pays, as a Celestial all he needs to do is demand ) and hold you close as you watch dangerous animals you've never seen before. Garling will gladly turn them into carpets and fur coats for you.

During the hunt itself, you will be sitting on your horse at a safe distance from all the chaos and bloodshed. Garling won’t allow a single drop of human blood to soil the dress he bought for you just for this special occasion. You get to smile and wave at the camera snails, knowing that thousands of noble girls envy you for having Sir Figarland's attention.

When he returns victorious with the heads of hundreds of innocent people, you feel a shiver coursing through your spine, but only for a brief moment. All the horror and shock seems to vanish when he kisses you, his lips tasting coppery.

Y - yuck ( what do they not like in a partner )

It goes without saying that Garling hates disobedience, laziness and rebellion. He will not tolerate his wife giving him a bad name, so your behavior in public must be nothing short of picture perfect. At home you may tease him, but only as a form of foreplay.

He can not stand loud and boastful women without manners, they irritate him greatly. Keep your head low and save your comments or words of advice for when you’re alone, he's willing to listen to your opinions, but at the end of the day he makes the decision as the head of the house.

Lies and deceitful behavior are two giant red flags in his eyes, a simple emergency lie can land you in serious trouble.

Z - zzz ( what are their sleeping habits )

Garling doesn’t sleep much due to being a workaholic, but when you’re in bed with him he sleeps so much better than alone. His hands will always be somewhere on your body when he sleeps, caressing and touching you to soothe himself with the knowledge that you’re right by his side.

He doesn’t snore and makes very little noise outside of the occasional grunt, which you find adorable. You would never tell Garling, but with his eyes closed and his lips half open, he looks as peaceful as an angel. Such a stark contrast to the monster everyone else sees him as.

"When you dream, I want you to think of no one else but me. Can you do that for me, darling?"
