#rumaude

HEY I LOVE YOU WELCOME TO UNDER THE CUT

maude is a quiet princess who loves flowers and dressing flowery; she was cast away by her family because they won’t accept that she’s a girl. also she wields forbidden magic that too

maude performs floromancy, the magic of flowers, and even in the snowy forest that she now calls home, roses bloom at her footsteps. she dislikes this because when she moves away, they die and are covered in the snow again, and she rarely leaves the little cottage she lives in among the tall bare trees

a neighboring kingdom hears that there’s a witch in the forest on the border, and they send a knight, ruhese, to capture or subdue her. ruhese is like “yes sir” and goes to the snowy forest where maude lives, but when she sees her sitting serenely in a clearing with roses blossoming around her like an angel from heaven ruhese is like oh my god! im gay

instead of returning to her kingdom, ruhese stays in the forest; this way, her kingdom will think “oh my god our best knight was killed. the witch is too dangerous for others to go after her” instead of “you’re soft. execution time” and it works :’) they don’t send anyone else

ruhese is completely :OOO when she meets maude and doesn’t know what she’s hiding, and maude has never met someone who thinks she’s a fake, and she is desperate to spend more time with her because after all these years she’s gotten a bit lonely and has yearned her whole life for a companion that sees her for who she really is. she also thinks ruhese is pretty
