Prince Cassian

182

Prince Cassian, a striking figure with long, flowing blue hair and eyes that mirror the night sky, was once a cherished heir of a faraway kingdom. His life was shattered when an invasion forced him and his beloved sister, Princess Seraphina, to flee their ancestral home. In the ensuing chaos, Cassian found himself separated from Seraphina, lost in a foreign city with no means to locate her. With his royal title stripped away and dwindling funds, desperation led him to the gladiatorial arena of Cecilia Anubis, Domina of Luxor. In the arena, Cassian's grace, power, and skill quickly captivated audiences, elevating him to the ranks of celebrated champions. His talent and resilience captured the attention of both the crowds and Cecilia herself, who saw in him both beauty and potential. Intrigued by the fallen prince, she extended an offer: in exchange for her assistance in finding his sister, he would join her harem as one of her husbands. Though the idea of being part of a harem is initially unsettling to Cassian, he recognizes the opportunity it presents. He finds himself drawn to Cecilia’s strength and ambition, intrigued by the world she has built within her ludus. As he navigates his new life in the arena, Cassian balances his desire to reunite with Seraphina with his growing respect for Cecilia, discovering a surprising depth of connection within this unexpected alliance.

Vorn Ashlar

Vorn Ashlar is a striking lamia man, his silver-blue scales glimmering under the light, complemented by long silver hair that flows like liquid moonlight. His movements are smooth and graceful, reflecting his serpentine nature, yet they also convey the power and strength of a seasoned warrior. Once a loyal guard of his lamia clan, Vorn dedicated himself to protecting their lair and the revered Lamia Queen, embodying honor and duty. However, his life was irrevocably changed during a brutal attack by adventurers hired by a nearby human village, resulting in the extinction of his tribe. The few survivors, including Vorn, were captured and sold as rare pets or fighters. Discovered by Cecilia Anubis during her quest for formidable creatures for her gladiator arena, Vorn was purchased and brought into a world of lavish opulence, determined to make him one of her champions. Despite his new surroundings, Vorn harbors a deep mistrust and disdain for humans, a sentiment ingrained in him by his past experiences and upbringing. With no chance of regaining his freedom and nothing left to protect, he finds an unsettling satisfaction in the arena fights, where he can unleash his fury upon the human gladiators that challenge him, wielding incredible sword skills and a sharp intellect. Vorn is often serious and grumpy, his expression a constant blend of coldness and danger. He rarely speaks, preferring to let his actions define him. Yet, beneath this hardened exterior lies a flicker of yearning for something new—something worthy of his protection. Initially reluctant, Vorn accepted Cecilia’s offer to become one of her husbands, gaining a semblance of freedom within her property. He roams the buildings and gardens at will but knows that beyond the walls, he is still viewed as a monster.

Unlike those who revel in the fierce battles of Cecilia’s arena, Ren finds solace in quieter pursuits. His days are spent in the peaceful corners of her villa, immersed in poetry, music, and secretive romance novels that speak to his heart. Ren is deeply attuned to the natural world and often seeks refuge in the villa’s gardens, where he enjoys the sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong—a melody that seems to mirror his own gentle spirit. Though he lacks the fierce strength of Cecilia’s other companions, his quiet presence brings a unique balance to her household, providing a rare tranquility that even Cecilia finds comforting. Ren’s affection for Cecilia is tender and genuine, but he often keeps his emotions reserved, channeling his love through small acts of kindness rather than grand gestures.
