Trope: Friends-to-Lovers / Forbidden love /Tragic Love
Name: Guillaume Martel
Age: ~23
Lineage / House: A household guard; common born but tied for generations to the household.
Face Claim / Resembles: Young Eoin Macken (as Gwaine in Merlin) — I wanted someone with a rugged charm, warm vibes.
Current Role: Guard of the château; sworn protector of the MC’s family, raised within its walls.
Born within the stone ribs of the Château, Guillaume is the son of its Captain of the hunt and its stewardess—a former governess who sought to gift him the world of words. The Marquis himself had hoped to raise the boy for the cloth, envisioning a life of holy orders, but the schoolroom became Guillaume’s silent purgatory, while the noble children mastered their letters, the ink swam before his eyes, his mind refusing to yield to the page. Resigned to his "simple" nature, he traded the rosary for the musket and a sword, following his father’s path instead. As a boy, he trailed after the young heiress through orchards and stables, half companion, half guardian in training. Years turned play into duty, laughter became oaths. When she first left for Versailles, he remained—the silent heart of the keep, keeping watch over empty corridors and the echo of her voice.
Now, with her return and the strange unease of the Beast settling over Gévaudan, he feels the crushing weight of both duty and desire, to protect her not only from the dangers that stalk the night, but from the darkness stirring within her own blood, all while believing his failure to master the scriptures renders him unworthy to save her soul.
Appearance
Eyes: Light brown and warm as hearth wood, they soften into an open, unguarded adoration the moment they find the MC—the look of a man looking at a saint he knows he cannot touch.
Hair: Thick chestnut waves that fall to the nape of his neck, often tousled by the wind and streaked with gold from long days patrolling the forest.
Skin: Fair, roughened by the harsh elements.
Build: 5' 8". A body made out of the muscle of a labourer rather than the ornamental bulk of a court guard.
Temperament: Steadfast, loyal, and quietly humorous, he has the patient, accessible warmth of a village confessor wrapped in the livery uniform of a guard. While he views himself as a "simple instrument" of God and the Comte, his humility hides a profound emotional intelligence. He is masking his own insecurities about his intellect with a sunny, eager-to-serve disposition that seeks to lift the physical burdens of others since he believes he cannot help them with the intellectual ones.
Quirks: Has a habit of suddenly needing to "check the perimeter" or "inspect the horses" whenever a conversation turns to literature, poetry, or complex politics, to protect himself from the shame of his "limitations".
Fears
That duty and love will one day demand opposite choices.
Losing the MC.
Becoming his father’s mirror: all loyalty, no self.
Speaking his heart and ruining the fragile balance between them.
Do you really have 5 set female Ros and only 2 set male? So counting selectables it's 7 vs. 4??? Is this IF meant for straight guys (and/or lesbians)????
Oh, honey. You do know the selectable ROs exist for a reason, right? As you said, there are 9 romance options in total—5 female, 2 male, and 2 player-gendered. If you're craving more male ROs, all you have to do is choose to make the selectables male. Boom. Problem solved. 😌✨
This isn’t some sinister conspiracy against gay men—I just wrote characters that made sense for the story and the vibes I was going for. Believe it or not, not every IF is built around a perfect gender balance spreadsheet.
Also, let’s not forget that having nine romance options is already pushing the boundaries of my sanity. This will eventually become a code-filled labyrinth of emotional chaos and heartbreak. So maybe, just maybe, let’s appreciate the buffet we’ve got before complaining that there’s not enough seasoning on the side salad. 💅
Will, the public update on 30th May, have all the new demo content that the patreons are having now?
In future to trigger the Nix-Mc-Hayden poly, we can/have to flirt with both of them now? We won't get locked out of their route if we flirt with both of them now, right?
If we flirt with more ROs (beside Nix-Hayden) will there be consequences? If yes, Will we have flavour text/jealousy or we can risk of being locked out/rejected by a RO?
Hi! Yes, it will include all the content from the Patreon demo, but not the extras like POVs, etc. And for your second question: It could be now or later in the second book, and it won't block anything, but it might cause some things, besides jealousy and a little more... and yes, there will be extra scenes, and there may be rejection or other consequences if there's a lot of flirting and a little more than that with more than one or two ROs. I'm still figuring out how to organize it properly, but it will happen.

I'm very intrigued! I have so many theories already 👀 I'd also love an in denial or tsundere reaction to Mark other than the usual shy or bold options. I keep picking the asshole options because they're more fun but I'm not winning any romance points with those 😅
Thank you!
No worries about asshole options or giving characters a finger. Romance won't be dependent on you being nice to ROs. We want to make those characters as real as possible.
As for more variety of romantic responses, we could definitely think about it.
