A 10-year war with your country's main adversary, Arandale, recently ended. Then your father, King Percival was assassinated. After his assassination, your twin, Prince James abdicated. Return home after 5 years and decide what kind of Harbinger you will be.

Sir Constantine Dimas | M, 26 years old, Taurus, #constantine dimas
Constantine is the best friend of your twin brother, James, and a Knight in Castelon's Elite Guard. He is fiercely loyal to your family and fought alongside James in the Arandale War. Like you, he finds amusement in teasing your brother.
"You're not too different from your twin, both reckless royals, so you probably need someone to care for you."
F. Faramund | M or F, 22 years old, Aquarius, #f faramund
Whether F was your first love or your ex-best friend, they broke your trust and disappeared. Now, they're back and seemingly apologetic. Bury the hatchet, rekindle your former relationship, or walk a different path altogether.
"The stars guided me back to you and I will stay as long as you allow."
Felix Faramund | M, 24 years old, Aries, #felix faramund
Felix is F.'s older brother and was someone you once considered a friend. Like, F., he's returned to Castelon. Unlike F., he can be quick to anger and he's not afraid to speak his mind. He can read the room, he just doesn't care. You can romance Felix, even if you loved F.
"Just know, I'll fight for what I want."
Lady Margaret | F, 22 years old, Gemini, #lady margaret
The mysterious Lady Margaret is a noble businesswoman who enjoys observing from the shadows. She's close to your mother, Queen Vivian. Although she is slow to trust others, those who earn her trust will find themselves in the company of a powerful and loyal ally.
"I can think of many ways to consume your time."
