#vinter x reader

derrick eckhart, the eldest son of the duke and apparent heir to the duchy, and vinter berdandi, a magician and marquis, somewhat of an odd duo to be fighting over someone's love.

the person who'd "win" your love is honestly based on who you interact with more. such as, if you interact with vinter too much, derrick would kidnap you and force you into marrying him.

even though if you interact with derrick a lot, he'll eventually get the wrong idea that you're into him and will still force you into marrying him. a lose-lose situation.

if you want to be happy and content with who you'd be spending time with for the rest of your life, vinter is the best choice, he's not as violent as derrick, but isn't above manipulating you or isolating you from everyone but him.

derrick is a cruel and violent man, he won't stop until he gets what he wants, even if it means beating you into obedience so you wouldn't run away. he isn't above breaking your legs and mind, too.

how would derrick and vinter try to get your attention? well, derrick is wealthy and pretty arrogant, so he'd gift you lavish things. but vinter would use magic to entertain you, having various conversations with you too.

if you want to go with the safest option, choose vinter, he's very against physically harming you, unlike derrick who'd physically hurt you if you as much were one foot away from the house.

if you don't want children, tough luck man. vinter might be more understanding, but derrick is practically inclined to have children to continue the eckhart bloodline.

if you want to have children, but can't due to certain problems, vinter doesn't mind adopting children! i don't know about derrick, though.

vinter's punishments are more mentally and emotionally damaging, he'd hesitantly lock you in an empty room, either drugging you or using magic to make you think you're hallucinating. vinter would gaslight and blame you after it.

derrick's punishments are much more physical and mentally damaging, as you'd either be beaten or starved in a cold, tiny room.

you'll have more freedom with vinter, as he'd only isolate you if you were to break a rule, otherwise you can pretty much walk around with him and the orphan kids on the streets.
