A young man is appointed to be the prince's personal servant. Little does the royal family know, he is actually tasked with assassinating the young prince. As time goes by, the assassin grows closer and closer to the prince, up until the point where he swears to protect him with everything he has. However, tensions begin rising with neighboring countries, and the prince and his servant must stick together to withstand evil and despair.

1. I'd really prefer there not to be overly sexual scenes, but it can get, like, a little steamy, yaknow?
2. I'm thinking there will be some sort of magic system, though I'm not really sure how it would work. We can work out the details as we go, the prompt above is just a basic outline.
3. I'll be playing the assassin.
4. Please give me something to work with, at least a small paragraph.
5. Please don't make me carry the entire plot. There's no specific way this roleplay has to go, please don't make it so that I'm the only one advancing the story.
6. Cursing is allowed, though please remember this isn't modern times, so modern cursing, slang wouldn't really be appropriate.

Just let me know if you'd be interested and I'll post a template!!

I'm interested? <3

Nice!! Just gimme a moment and I'll post a lil template

Name: Krona Silene
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Birthday: October 24
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Pansexual
Magical Abilities: Controlling and manipulating fire. He can create fireballs in his hands, set things on fire, etc. The only drawback is it drains him.

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: A rich, deep brown
Skin Color: Dark olive.
Height: 5'2
Weight: 130 lbs
Distinguishing Features: Hundreds of dark freckles speckling his face, arms, and back. His lips are rather full, and he has a broad, flat nose.
Everyday Clothing: Usually a button-up white shirt, with a long, maroon coat that reaches his knees overtop of it, and a black tie. He also wears boots that swallow up his feet and are almost knee-high and lace up the front. He usually wears white gloves. When he isn't working in the palace, he wears a white button up shirt with a brown leather vest overtop, along with those same boots.

Personality: Krona is hardworking and quiet, and usually doesn't speak unless spoken to. He finds it hard to trust people, thus making it so that he doesn't get close to many people, but when he does, he's witty, funny and caring, and swears to protect those close to him with everything he is.
Likes: Cats, the outdoors, books, snow, hot, home-cooked food
Dislikes: Hot weather, yelling, most of the royal family, his own family.

Name: Marius
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Birthday: October 27th
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Homosexual
Magical Abilities: Marius can use various forms of magic, the most prominent of which being telepathy (in order to communicate). With spells, he can use pretty much whatever, but only minor amounts. Doing so drains his energy, and using anything more powerful puts him at risk of passing out or collapsing.

Hair Color: Navy into orange
Eye Color: Blue
Skin Color: Pale Ivory
Height: 4'2
Weight: 65 pounds
Distinguishing Features: Foxlike ears/tail, golden freckles, magically sealed mouth (always covered with face mask)
Everyday Clothing: (see image)

Personality: Marius is generally an asshole, to be honest. He doesn't like to spend time with others, he isn't very considerate, he's very snippy, and it seems like he doesn't like/enjoy much of anything. He seems to constantly be in a bad mood and he tries his best to not let others catch him vulnerable.
Likes: Starsss (god he loves astronomy), being alone
Dislikes: Honestly pretty much anything else
Other: Unable to speak due to his sealed mouth. He instead communicates via telepathy and teleports food into his stomach in order to eat. Mouth sealed as a punishment for cannibalism a few years back. Anger issues are large here.

(For Appearance)

Krona sighed as he stared himself down in the mirror, fixing his tie. The servant's quarters were of a higher quality than expected, consisting of a grand room with rows of red-blanketed beds, each with its own small storage space, and a separate bathroom completed with baths and showers and mirrors, a luxury compared to the young elf's previous housing. He wet his hands in the sink and ran them through his curly, black hair, before drying them and pulling on a pair of thin, white gloves. He was to be the prince's personal servant, until the time was right, and he murders the unsuspecting royal. It didn't seem too hard of a job, seeming as he would have to be very close to the prince, however, the escape afterward would be the tricky part. He had months to plan this, though, so he ignored it for the moment and focused on the present day. Today, he was to be introduced to the prince and begin his duties.

A quick knock came at the door, and Krona swiftly opened it to see a tall man, with long goat-like ears and horns, giving him a welcoming smile. "The prince will be expecting you soon," the man informed him. "Come with me, lad." Krona nodded and gave a respectful "Yes, sir," before following the man out into the corridor. The meeting was more formal than needed, in Krona's opinion, since basically all he's doing is meeting his boss. That's just how it works around here, I guess.

The entrance to the throne room was grand, with tall, velvety doors that were most likely twice his size. After a few moments of waiting, they swung open and Krona was told to walk in. The throne room was amazing, with a red velvet walkway and a grand chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Approaching the prince's throne, he finally managed to get a good look at him. He was…smaller than anticipated, though this might work to his advantage. Once he reached the throne of the tiny prince, he knelt down before him and let out a small breath before speaking.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, your highness. I look forward to working for you."

So far, so good.

(Sorry, that was really long!! XD I usually tend to write wayy too much when I start haha)

(No problem lol, just keep in mind I can't usually keep up with multiple long paragraphs, but I try to get out decent replies anyway-)

Marius toyed with the star on the tip of his hat a bit as he examined himself in the mirror. He was supposed to get a new personal servant today, which he was less than excited about. He didn't like other people meddling in his business; especially his lessers. He'd had a few personal servants before, but they'd all left in one way or another. Some quit, some were fired, and some had been killed in various ways. But no matter. Marius shook his head a bit, straightening out his clothes before heading out to the throne room to wait.
He settled himself on his throne, looking very small in the massive seat. If one didn't know any better, they'd mistake him for a young child. At any such assumptions, however, Marius would generally grow angry and insist that he's an adult, and sometimes order the offender to be taken away. It was generally wisest to not mention his height aloud to him.
As Krona walked in, Marius examined him, scoffing a bit as he noticed the way the other looked at him. Probably underestimating him like everyone else did… The story of the sealing of his mouth had been very hushed up. His parents had paid a lot to keep it away from the press, and Marius refused to talk about it. Hmph. He sat up a little taller, looking down at Krona as he bowed.
I suppose you'll do. His voice echoed in Krona's head, although he wasn't audible at all. He could only communicate through telepathy, after all, but the mental voice still sounded like his audible one used to. Do try to stay out of my way, will you? I don't like being puppy guarded. He slipped off of his throne and stalked off, his gait a bit stiff with annoyance.

(That's fine, I usually only write that much when I'm starting, lol.)
Krona was surprised by the informality, and realized this was going to be a long couple of months. He stood, finding it rather odd that it felt more like he was hearing the prince's words in his mind, rather than real life. "I-is there anything you'd like me to do, at the moment, sire?" He asked, not really sure of what to do.

Leave me alone unless my parents order you to stay with me, which… they might, to be honest. Marius sighed softly to himself and continued on, his well groomed tail swaying a bit with every step he took. Instead of going into his bedroom, he turned towards a winding staircase to his right and began climbing up. He wasn't incredibly in shape, so climbing up these stairs tended to tire him out, but getting to be alone in the star tower was worth the effort.

"Alright." Krona left the throne room, and decided that since he didn't really need to do anything, he would go back to the servant's quarters. A while passed without him being told to do anything, and he spent this time helping the other servants with their many tasks. It was the least he could do, really. After a while, the same man from before, with the goat ears and horns, approached him.

"The king orders you to stay with Prince Marius. I suggest you go to him at once."

Krona nodded and left. After a bit of searching, he found the tall, winding staircase which lead to the star tower and climbed it. After years of physical training, he cleared it in a breeze. Sighing, he knocked on the door. "Your highness? May I come in?"

Marius had a massive star map spread out on the floor and was working on completing it when Krona knocked on the door, at which point he sighed heavily. Are you required to be here or are you just feeling lonely enough to climb up a massive flight of stairs? He asked. Because if it's the latter, then no. He returned to his star chart. The door was still unlocked, however, so Krona could come in if he so chose.

Krona chuckled softly. "I'm required to be here, by your father's command." He slowly opened the door and entered. "Though, I must admit, I am a bit lonely as well." He looked around the room, seeing star charts, models of planets, et cetera. Judging by Marius's interest in the star map, he could tell he spent a lot of time up here.

"Mm." Marius continued on with his chart, not even bothering to look up at Krona or further acknowledge him for a while. It was getting later, so he could see the stars very clearly through his telescope. He seemed to relax once the stars were out, much less uptight than he'd been before. The stars calmed him in a way that nothing else ever had or could.

Krona sat down on a plush seat beside the window, and watched the smaller boy work. He thought he would be bored, but it was actually quite entertaining to watch him. Marius seemed calm, and quite content. It was a nice change of pace for Krona, who was used to working or training 24/7. He didnt see why he was ordered to come here if all the prince was going to do is study the stars. He smiled a bit as he watched Marius look through the telescope, and realized how late it was. He pulled out a pocket watch, seeing that it was about 8:48 PM. "Um, sire, I can bring your supper up here for you, if you'd like. It's getting late."

Sure, sure, whatever… Marius waved one hand dismissively for a moment, kneeling on the star chart so he could reach the corners of it. His stomach growled angrily at him, but he ignored it. He was quite used to neglecting his meals, after all. He spent many of them holed up in this tower, so he often forgot to eat anything. That, and he took no pleasure in eating. He couldn't taste any of the food due to the method in which he had to eat.

Krona nodded and exited, going down the same flight of stairs again and heading toward the kitchen. It wasnt too hard to find, since most of the maids and servants were running back and forth from there, bringing food to the dining hall. He found one of the cooks and asked her to put together a plate for the prince, and she obliged, putting together an array of meat and potatoes and vegetables on a plate. Thanking the cook, he took the plate and brought it back upstairs, and set it down on a table for him. "Here you are." It seemed like a great amount of food for just one person, but he supposed the cook didn't want to give the prince too little. He was hungry, too, but he ignored it, as he would eat later. His orders were to stay with the prince, and so he did.

Marius ignored Krona, too enveloped in his chart to really notice much that was happening around him. Eventually, he dragged himself to his feet with a reluctant sigh and headed over to the table to eat. Thankfully, it wouldn't take him long. He held one hand over the plate, the other supporting his head, and the food began to steadily vanish. He teleported it into his stomach and then got up so he could head back to his star chart.
