CW: Definitely spoilers for the first climactic scene in the last story of the serial, written under a different alias.</p></blockquote><p>This was going to be one of those, "Well she already died for someone," answers. I was going to say she died for the boyfriend that taught her to love and made her finally understand she was capable of having friends, that she had had them all along.</p><p>I was wrong!</p><p>Well, she <em>did</em> die.</p><p>Technically.</p><p>But that was when she was ill, exercising when she shouldn't have been, was in an exceptional situation where she had no guards, that day after the invasion when the bad guys attempted to assassinate her. The boyfriend, who'd turned on his cohort of insurgent invaders, however, turned out to not be as good a fighter as his former captain. To save him, the MC killed the captain after the captain had stabbed him. </p><p>But.</p><p>Killing her would have been murder, something for all the fighting she'd done all those years, she'd never done.</p><p>The MC used the last of her magic and energy healing the both of them.</p><p>Then died. Romantic, what? No?</p><p>Well, <em>should</em> have died. When medical technology failed, a shamanic healer she'd befriended in the series managed to revive her a number of times, finally keeping her from drifting away while conventional surgery did the hard thing.</p><p>So, the answer to the question was: the MC was willing to die for her assassin.

What is something that they strive for in life?</p></blockquote><p>Bolt's ambition tends to be short-sighted. It got her blackmailed into being a messenger to a crime boss. </p><p>The MC fixed that mistake. </p><p>Bolt is now training as a praetorian guard (if she can hack it) to protect the MC (whose life she saved once already by risking her own). Bodyguard to the newly named heir to the throne is NOT the safest choice of profession. Complicating this is Bolt, who has been portrayed avowedly and frequently cis-het, realizes she's intensely attracted to the MC. The MC is a woman who ended the last serialized novel with two <em>intimate</em> boyfriends one of whom is a real prince, and a third who's declared his intimate intentions. Meanwhile, the MC has rediscovered her childhood boyfriend, whom she often fantasized about being all grown up throughout the serial. </p><p>Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. The MC may be pregnant.</p><p>Need I state Bolt's <em>new</em> short-sighted ambition? Yeah. You got it. If I write this sequel, <em>The Five Suitors</em> maybe?, it'll be both interestingly complicated AND racy. </p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a> and <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/CommentingIsCool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommentingIsCool</span></a><br> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/tinker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tinker</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/tailor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tailor</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/spy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spy</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>romance</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sf</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RSstory</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RSReluctanceStory</span></a></p>

If so, what moment in their life could be described as the end of that innocence?</p></blockquote><p>Bolt was a wild and willful teen. Not only did she disappoint her family by planning to enter the trades instead of attending college, she played around with the macho guy at school, and often got reprimanded by teachers. When she tried to work at her trade, she found surprisingly that there actually was a trade dominated by men! (Hers isn't our world.) She fled her hometown after her attempts at minor vandalism against the gatekeepers got witnessed. (She threw a brick through a storefront window and rolled a van down a hill.)</p><p>None of that was a loss of innocence. She knew what she wanted and she figured she'd get it. </p><p>Elsewhere.</p><p>In another city, she took an easy job messengering things she wasn't to ask questions about. She got framed for murder, or <em>would have been framed</em> except she'd been set up by a local crime boss who'd eliminated a snitch. He now had the "proof" for what the constables would afterwards consider an unsolved murder.</p><p>She'd.</p><p>Been.</p><p><em>Blackmailed.</em></p><p>Stupidity always had a price. She could have had a steel collar on a chain leash; it would have made little difference. She'd work for that organization for nearly a decade, a slave to her mistake, until after she'd meet the MC of her story.
