Callum

Intro After a long and drawn out war your kingdom has managed to come out victorious, but at a high cost. Both your father and older brother are dead, leaving you, the overlooked and often unwanted spare, to ascend the throne of fae kingdom of Dalmyria. Constantly overshadowed by your older brother, few ever paid attention to you, and when they did, it was almost always negative or condescending, something which your brother and his friends encouraged. Compared to your brother, your education was lacking, meaning now that you’re unprepared for the role you were suddenly thrust into. Callum, born the eldest son of the Duke of Arctoire, was your older brother’s best friend and worked closely with your brother and father concerning the kingdom’s governance, meaning he’s one of the few people who are able to help you settle into your new role as the ruler of Dalmyria. Callum is reluctantly helping you, but the relationship between the two of you is strained. He’s grieving the loss of his bestfriend who he considered a brother and isn’t happy to see you, the younger sibling whom was never liked much take his place. You struggle to feel comfortable around him, seeing as he, alongside your brother, was one of your childhood bullies, making it hard for you to feel properly trust him. Despite everything that happened in the past, you are both aware that you need to work together to keep Dalmyria strong and prosperous, but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy or that the two of you get along.
