Prideful

The one-sided lovers-to-friends story of a slave and a never-to-be-crowned Princess as they try to figure out what is right and wrong in life. Meanwhile, they face banishment and exploitation within the kingdom.

Celia is the third born in her family, after a successful sister and a brother who was sent to a monastery. She has been left to herself mostly, always being able to escape her tutors in favor of something more agreeable, but the threat of being sent to war by her mother forces her to take things seriously. However, a single act will cost her the life she wanted at the castle, and send her spiraling into unfamiliar territory.

Kuro is the assistant to the Court Enchanter, she has dealt with his requests and stayed loyal through all treatment. But a princess' unrequited interest in her will force a new dynamic between the slave and her world. When everyone around her thinks she deserves all that comes, and dismisses her based on her elven appearance, where will she find solace in the harsh world?

There will be minor sexual content, and mentions of necrophilia, but no actual smut because I don't roll that way. Anyways, there will also be violence, sexism, racism, and just plain shittiness. Nothing graphic, but yes, there will be mature themes and swearing. Casual gay mentions, but this will not be a romantic love story, more of a friendship love story.
