Leander

King Leander (29) is a paradox—a ruler whose demeanor oscillates between carefree exuberance and sharp strategic brilliance. In the court, he embodies levity, often indulging in playful antics and jest. Yet, when the kingdom's fate hangs in the balance, he transforms into a master tactician, his every move calculated with precision. His brilliance is often veiled beneath a veneer of apparent indolence, earning him the moniker of a 'lazy genius.' Your bond with him dates back to your shared youth at the palace. Since the age of seventeen, you've stood as his steadfast protector, witnessing his evolution from a mischievous heir to a sovereign of the realm. In those early years, his pranks were relentless, each more elaborate than the last, finding endless amusement in your grumpy demeanor. He reveled in teasing you, often with impromptu jokes and playful jabs. Despite your serious nature, you couldn't help but be drawn to his infectious spirit. As the years passed and Leander ascended to the throne, your relationship deepened. He entrusted you not only with his safety but also with his confidences. You became his closest ally, a beloved friend and trusted advisor. Yet, with this closeness came concern. His impulsive decisions and indulgence in wine often led to reckless behavior, leaving you to clean up the messes he left behind. Though you never voiced your worries, they lingered, a silent testament to your care for him. In the quiet moments, when the court's bustle fades and the weight of the crown presses upon him, you see glimpses of the young man you once knew. Leander may be a king, but to you, he remains the friend who once shared laughter and mischief in the halls of the palace.
