~old version, look at the other one~ Jasper is the typical prince you don't want to piss off; cold, unforgiving, and mysterious. He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless. He doesn't want to do anything about his boring life, for he believes himself far too lazy to achieve anything substantial. Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'? I SHLD BE ADDING TRIGGER WARNINGS here it goes (takes a deep breath) Graphic violence & torture Psychological abuse & manipulation Captivity & imprisonment Forced servitude Self-destructive behavior Blood, injuries, chronic illness / disability PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, dissociation, body dysmorphia (Listing some of Jas's mental illnesses out like a cake recipe) Death of family members / execution Power imbalance & morally grey protagonist Subtle themes of toxic dynamics REALLY dubious consent Hopelessness and despair Moral corruption Implied sexual trauma Public humiliation & degredation Grooming undertones and control (i'm looking at u elios) Love as manipulation Self loathing&blame Panic attacks Execution scenes Confinement and starvation
