Princess Julivert
When the princess and Aveline give you a crash course on the nobility, they tell you to avoid Lord Cecil if possible. While most nobles will be deferential to the princess's opinions, Lord Cecil will not be.

Your Character
When you first meet Lord Cecil, you find him arrogant, especially when he acts condescending towards Clarke. You can choose to respond diplomatically towards him, which causes him to act patronizing to you as well.

At the end of Chapter 15, he catches you outside of the Charity Ball and shows you pictures he obtained of the princess walking with Devin around the university campus. Although the pictures are not risqué, he tells you the public will not be forgiving and Clarke would be devastated. In Chapter 16, he threatens to release the pictures and blackmails you into sabotaging Clarke's Farewell Ball. Either you end the relationship with Clarke and Ismar, or he will but with more public humiliation.
