Growing up, you always imagined marrying your childhood sweetheart, surrounded by your loved ones. Until your family discovered you're a levinmancer—capable of summoning storms and altering the weather—an exceptional, yet dangerous talent rarely found in Solcrest.
For the past eleven years, you studied overseas at the Academy of Araqiel: a college dedicated for mancers learning how to control your powers. After graduating, your family encouraged you to return home to Whithall, joining the Red Queen’s court in the hopes of finding a husband.
Upon your homecoming, you discover the life of a courtier to be full of many new obstacles. Conflicted by a storm of emotions: love, lust, duty, and devotion.
Known as the most eligible bachelor in all of Solcrest, Vast is well loved by the nobility for his charms, dignity, and grace. When rumors are spread throughout the kingdom that the Prince is looking for a bride, You find it hard to believe that a second-born daughter to a human duke may possibly be considered as a match to a dragon prince and heir to the Red Kingdom.
Your childhood sweetheart. Before sailing oversees to study abroad, the two of you were very close, playing knights and ladies. Coming home, you find your childhood games have become your reality. Pious, loyal, kindhearted, with a good sense of integrity. Regardless of whether you choose to return his affections, Lord Bransley solemnly vows to remain your knight in shining armor.
Mirya has recently been assigned the duty of serving as your lady’s maid. The Duke of Whithall having taken a liking to the elf woman for her calm and gentle wisdom thinking she’d make a good match for helping keep an eye on his more willful, high spirited daughter. Though Mirya is a lot older than she seems and has lived a full life outside the castle walls, she doesn’t seem very interested in talking about herself and past experiences. Provoking your curiosity all the more.
Two loyal servants who accompanied you across seas to Araqiel and back again. During that time, the three of you have become inseparable. Slayer is a renown swordsman, serving as your bodyguard. He also served as your mentor, teaching you how to stand your ground in a swordfight, so that you may only rely on your magic as a last resort, according to the Academy's wise teachings. You used to be close, but ever since your homecoming Slayer's been especially harsh and cold towards you. As though he's trying to push you away.
Wayward is a young silver dragon, a "rookie" who serves as your personal mount. You've known him for all his life and most of yours. The two of you having forged an unbreakable bond between rider and dragon. Though like most dragons, Wayward possesses the ability to take on a human disguise and seems to prefer it over his true form.
These two have always been on friendly terms with one another, but there might be something more to their relationship than meets the eye ...

Ohhh you've got me so hooked
(every single one of these characters has charmed me, what a difficult decision to make, having to choose one path at a time!)
Aww, thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them! ^_^ ♥
I went into this planning to go for the polyship just because it's something so rare in these games, & I assumed that the hot prince would have to be a jerk, right? When I found out he wasn't, it made my original decision much harder! Though in the end, shirtless Wayward lured me back lol.
Other than a few typos & the game reverting to the default name at some points, my only complaint is that there needs to be more! lol
I do love my polyships (specifically polyfidelities) and agree 100% there needs to be more representation out there ~ ♥
I am glad you appreciate them hehe ~ ^_^
I'm focusing on other projects atm, but am really looking forward to continuing this series as well!
I'll probably release next chapter sometime in 2025. Hope you'll look forward to it ~ :3
after reading this one, i then decided to go read what's done of dragon roommates, & now i want more of that one too! lol ty for the reply, & definitely looking forward to anything new for either!
Aww, awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed them. ♥ I'm hoping to finish the next chapter for Dragon Roommates before the end of the year ~ ^_^
My goodness, I was so shocked when I typed these words. Slayer is my favorite guest, his wildness is very charming. Next is Wayward, such a naive and lovable little guy. I originally wanted to spend two save files to conquer them separately, but oh my goodness. The development of the matter is so unexpected. I stopped in front of the screen several times, covered my face and digested the information. How the hell did it come to this? It's not that I hate it, but I never thought - I was so shocked.
I honestly was going to have them be separate originally, but I loved writing polyamorous relationships from my other vn Dragon Roommates so much, I decided to throw one in here. Because why not? xD These two made the most sense to me and they are fun to write, especially when they're together. I'm glad you appreciate them. hehe ~ ♥
A gathering of miscellaneous thoughts!
I like this game!! The lore and background on the dragons is pretty interesting, adding some flavor to they "typical" fantasy court type setting. I also like our family (brother + maid + diana) and am curious about the queen and prince--though not sure if i trust whatever it is they're up to.
I LOVE Duncan!!! He's like all of my favorite tropes rolled into one LI rest assured I'll be romancing him first! And probably most, lol. He's SUCH a sweetie.
Poor Vast is going to have a hell of a time courting MC. I think she'll be relatively sweet and friendly and maybe come to see him as a friend but she is NOT having a good time with his declaration currently.
In chapter one at the library with Vast and Duncan the game no longer seems to recognize that I have a custom name and keeps referring to me as "Brianne"
Oh man. I definitely pissed off the queen--I'm sure that that will come back to bite me!
Some excellent insights! I'm glad to see you're enjoying the game so far ~ ^_^
Thanks for pointing that out! I'll be sure to look into it and fix it for the next update :3
Ooooh fantasy themed game with courts and politics AND a childhood friend love interest? Consider me intrigued!
The art is quite pretty as well! Very eye-catching.
I'll play through what I can this weekend and report back!
Indeed! I do enjoy some courtly drama ~ ;)
Thank you for the kind words! ♥ I hope you enjoy it. ^_^
Looks interesting! We need more of the game)
Thanks! ♥ It'll get here ... eventually. xD
Oh my... This interesting can't wait for more chapter
Thank you! ♥
OMG i love this?? so much?? im so excited for future updates om
Aww thank you! ♥ I'm so glad you enjoy it ~ ^///^
