Maeve's Craving - Toil and a Snare - looking for M Character (Brother)

[Maeve]

 A Toil and a Snare



"It's a shame about the Prince," the cook sighed as she tossed an apple ring, curled like a snake skin, off her knife, "There never was a kinder master."

In a darkened alcove the Prince felt as though the cook had run him through. It was one thing to deal with this matter in private but to be pitied by the people he was meant to protect was almost too much to bear. Behind he could hear the old woman, the so called Queen of the Witches, as she screeched like an owl at his father, "My moon and my night sky, what have you done with them?", followed by the sharp clanking of chains.

The groom grunted in response as he kicked the cage holding his prisoners, "Kill enough witches and one of them is bound to curse you. Lucky it was just the Prince struck down by madness and not the whole Kingdom if you ask me."

The cook sneered  and the Prince watched in fascination as a white hand crept out between the wooden slates to snap up the discarded apple peel. He couldn't resist disclosing himself when the groom when to stamp down his heavy boot on the delicate appendage. There was surprised and frightened stuttering from the help that on any other occasion he would have eased with a kind wave of his hand, but now all his attention was on the two faces that looked up at him.

She was beautiful but he was ethereal, proof of their whispered fey ancestor, and he could only hope that one of them would break the curse.



A good and brave Prince has been cursed with madness by a witch for the sins of his father. In an attempt to break it the King kidnaps the son and daughter of the Witch Queen after learning that only the love of a witch child will lift his sons madness. They are promised that the one who falls for his majesty will live a long life in the palace and the other will be released with their mother, but the siblings know not to trust the man who has killed more of their kind than he has built churches to his own god and hatch a plan of their own.



Hello, Maeve here! As some of you may know I have a huge interest thread, which if you find this story appealing and or want to know more about what I'm like as a partner,  I suggest you check out - https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=232060.0

That list, however, has gotten rather...long. So I've decided to pluck out the plots that I'm really anxious to do and see if anyone bites. I would prefer to play the Prince and the sister character may be taken, if you're interested in the brother character please let me know.
