[F4A] The Princess Who Never Stayed Put | Medieval Fantasy | Bodyguard Romance
I’m looking for a literate, long-term writing partner to play a royal guard in a medieval fantasy setting.
My character is Princess Jain Hepburn of Deansgate. She’s beautiful, charismatic, and utterly spoiled since the death of her mother. For years she’s made life as difficult as possible for the poor soul assigned to protect her.
She drinks too much, sneaks out of the castle disguised as a commoner, slips away to village taverns, starts fights she has no business winning, climbs walls she shouldn’t be climbing, and somehow always manages to disappear the moment her guard looks away. Half the court adores her. The other half would happily see someone finally tell her “no.”
Unfortunately for her guard… nobody ever does.
The initial dynamic I’m looking for is something of a cat-and-mouse game. The guard is endlessly chasing after her, dragging her back before anyone notices she’s missing, covering for her disasters, and somehow keeping her alive. Jain absolutely delights in making their job impossible. It’s become a game between them—one filled with sharp banter, stolen moments, unresolved tension, and a relationship that neither of them has ever bothered to define.
Sm*t is welcome here from page one, but I’m looking for it to complement the story rather than replace it.
The roleplay truly begins when Jain is informed she’ll be leaving Deansgate to fulfil an arranged marriage with the heir of the neighbouring kingdom of South-on-Sea.
Her guard is ordered to accompany the royal caravan.
Suddenly, the rules change.
They’re no longer hidden behind familiar castle walls where everyone is used to their strange dynamic. Every glance, every private conversation, every late-night disappearance could be noticed by members of the caravan, foreign nobles, or Jain’s future family. At the same time, both are forced to confront what this relationship actually means when the possibility of losing it becomes very real.
I’m imagining plenty of opportunities for political intrigue, assassination attempts, awkward royal dinners, sneaking out of unfamiliar castles, tense campfire conversations, jealous fiancés, impossible choices, and the gradual shift from playful pursuit into genuine partnership.
What I’m looking for:
* Third person, past tense.
* Multi-paragraph to novella-style replies.
* Someone who enjoys character development as much as plot.
* Romance that develops naturally.
* Writers who enjoy collaborative worldbuilding and bringing their own ideas.
* Players aged 21+ only, with characters aged 21+.
If this sounds like your kind of story, send me a message with a little about your writing style and your idea for the guard. I’d love someone who can challenge Jain rather than simply tolerate her.
