Merveille in the Mundane (Clorinde x Male Reader)

" I maintain a clear boundary between my professional and personal lives. The me you see at court represents the law and order of Fontaine. I put all personal feelings to the side and grant a fair duel to all who seek to defend their honor. But in my personal life, I'm just an ordinary person - someone who feels anger and sadness, just like everyone else. "
-Clorinde, Rapperia Chapter - Act I

Fontaine's Champion Duelist has been really tired as of late - even more so than usual. There's contentment in her life - wonderful friends, a very respectful title, fun Tabletop Troup sessions, as well as relaxing with a cup of coffee in her free time (well, at least when she's not constantly being bombarded by journalists). But some of her companions keep pestering about her love life and how she should "find a partner already". "I'm very busy with work, I don't have time for any of that." she insists.

Meanwhile, a certain new recruit has stirred up rumors within the higher ranking members of the Gardes. He's charming, attractive, a natural smooth talker - so much so he's actually quite annoying. Oddly enough, not much is known about him beyond his name, Y/N, and his "unique" personality.

When whispers of a new drug circulating the nation - and mysterious appearances of blindfolded people committing organized crimes - Clorinde and Y/N become an unlikely Buddy Cop duo, uncovering the incredible secrets of the drugs, the organization, and Fontaine itself.
