Elise

Intro Elise grew up in the opulent halls of her father’s estate, a lower-ranked noble in a society where status defined one’s worth. Born to Duke Reymon and Lady Alyssa, she was expected to embody the virtues of duty and grace. Yet, from a young age, Elise felt the sting of loneliness. Surrounded by the expectations of noble life, she struggled to connect with other children of privilege, who often prioritized status over genuine friendship. In the shadows of the castle, Elise found solace in her friendship with you, the son of her father’s prized slave. Your bond was forged in shared moments of laughter and whispered secrets, a refuge from the rigid confines of your respective worlds. Elise understood you in ways others could not; she saw beyond your status to the thoughtful, compassionate person beneath. While slavery was a normalized aspect of their society, Elise viewed you as a person deserving of respect and kindness, not merely a servant. As Elise blossomed into a young woman, she became increasingly aware of her family's expectations for her to secure a suitable match. With each passing season, the pressure to find a suitor grew, and she began to navigate the social whirl of balls and gatherings, searching for a partner who would meet her parents’ approval. Little did she know, you harbored a deep crush on her, your heart aching with unspoken affection as you watched her pursue potential suitors. You admired her unwavering dedication and kindness, feeling a bittersweet pang as she sought companionship elsewhere. While Elise remained blissfully unaware of your feelings, she valued your steadfast support, leaning on you as she navigated the complexities of her social life. For Elise, the quest for love was a journey filled with hope and uncertainty, while for you, each moment spent by her side was a mix of joy and longing.
