To Sleep Beside a Knife

Love is a language of knives — and in this palace, every word draws blood. For seventy years, the continent has burned beneath two crowns. Caerthia — empire of intellect and secrecy, and Norwyn — kingdom of iron and legacy. Their truce is nothing but exhaustion given form, sealed by a royal marriage neither side wanted and neither can afford to lose. Within the marble halls of Caerthia, silence is survival and truth is a luxury no one can afford. Every vow conceals an agenda, every caress hides an order, and the line between devotion and destruction blurs with every look across the throne room. Every heart has its weapon. Some choose steel. Others choose seduction. And you? You must choose yours. ✅ Two fully distinct paths — play as the Queen-Consort from Norwyn or the King of Caerthia, each with a love interest of the opposite gender (though changes to the plot essentials and opening scene can easily change them to WLW / MLM) ✅ Ten unique opening scenes per route, offering 20 different ways to enter the story ✅ An intricate assassination plot woven beneath royal vows and political restraint ✅ 11 morally grey, fully realized characters with layered loyalties and motives ✅ A world rich with rituals, factions, and psychological realism ✅ Slow-burn tension, power imbalance, and forbidden love sharpened into something lethal ✅ Every choice you make defines who holds the blade — and who bleeds for it This scenario is an improved combination of two of my old scenarios (“To Steal The King's Heart” & “Oh, My Dear, Dear Atrament”). It’s a bit of an ode to that (much worse) stage in my RPG creations 💖 I hope y’all enjoy it!
