Welp, haven’t checked on this particular AU for 3 years now. But I had an idea for a Thing to Happen Next, so we’re diving back in.
Bonus feature: a serious push for “how much background work can I fast-track with the Clip Studio materials catalog?” (I’ve been uploading my own Leif & Thorn/BICP backgrounds and patterns to the database, too — check them out.)
In a land of tiny fiefdoms, Prince Thorn takes his guest Foreign Servant Leif for a walk in the royal gardens . . .
Thorn: . . . so I set up a room with all the public books. Any of my subjects can visit and borrow them!
I’m sorry, this work talk must be very boring . . .
Leif: It’s not, it’s really not! You have very complicated problems, so I don’t always follow all the details . . .
But it’s fun to hear you work out smart ways to solve them! And kind ways. It’s . . . satisfying, how they’re always kind.
Also, I . . .
Thorn: Yeah?
Leif: No matter what the topic is, I just like listening to your voice . . .
Ragnild: HEY!
I never gave my husband permission to get fresh with my servant! Come on, Leif.
Leif: I’m sure I finished all my work for you, Princess Ragnild.
Ragnild: If I gotta get you more, I will.

Leif and Ragnild’s final lines are not colored as Sønska in the transcript.
Now, is Princess Ragnild just being discompassionate, or is she jealous/envious?
Fixed, thanks!
Ragnild has more Feelings than she wants to let on, that’s for sure.
There are probably discussions we did not see, but Thorn and Ragnild had a discussion about non-monogamy, and Ragnild did not seem enthusiastically on board with the idea.

It seems uncharacteristically thoughtless for Thorn to be flirting with someone behind his fiance’s back without her explicit buy-in (he did expect HER to let him know if there is someone she wants to date), to say nothing of the fact that the object of his affection is her servant!
I like this AU! Actually I like all of them XD but I am interested to see where this one goes.
