Romance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn’t just a side distraction—it’s a reflection of Henry’s humanity in a world shaped by war, loyalty, and personal choice. Since KCD2 launched in February 2025, players have combed medieval Bohemia searching for love, uncovering heartfelt storylines, fleeting affairs, and a few persistent misconceptions along the way.
Early guides speculated wildly, but with the community’s discoveries now settled, a clear and definitive romance roadmap has emerged. This updated guide breaks down every confirmed romance option in KCD2, explains which characters are not romanceable (yes, including Myshka), highlights conflicts between relationships, and walks you through the exact requirements—without spoilers beyond what you need.
Whether you’re aiming for lasting love, a brief medieval fling, or total loyalty to Henry’s past, this is the complete, up-to-date romance guide for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
❌ The Myshka Misconception: Setting the Record Straight
A point of confusion for many players centers on Myshka, the cook's daughter you meet at the Semine Castle wedding during the “Wedding Crashers” quest. Contrary to some early speculation, Myshka is not a romance option.
You can have a charming interaction with her by rescuing her from Vuytek's awkward advances and sharing a dance and a private chat by the pond. However, this encounter does not progress beyond a pleasant conversation. It’s a memorable moment that adds to the game's rich social tapestry, but it does not lead to a romantic relationship.
Quick Tip:
The Wedding Crashers quest does contain a romance—but it’s with Doubravka, not Myshka. If you're at the wedding looking for love, seek out Doubravka's mother near the garden arch.

⚠️ Important Romance Conflicts & Restrictions
Some romances in KCD2 lock out others, so your choices matter.
Katherine vs. Hans Capon
Pursuing a romance with Katherine may prevent you from romancing Hans Capon, and vice-versa. If you have a preference, be careful with heart-marked dialogue options.
Johanka vs. Bartoush
During the “For Victory!” feast, you can only romance one of the two short-term options:
-
Widow Johanka or
-
Black Bartoush
Staying Faithful to Theresa (KCD1)
Players who wish to remain loyal to Theresa from the first game can do so. By rejecting all romance options and avoiding heart-marked dialogue, you unlock a special ending reference acknowledging Henry’s continued devotion.
🎠How to Navigate the Key Romances
While the table gives a quick overview, some romances require precise steps and timing.
💖 Long-Term Romance Walkthroughs
These relationships develop gradually and often span multiple quests.
Klara
After your duel in Nebakov, help Klara gather herbs. When she asks her riddle in the woods, answer:
“I think she’s called Klara.”
Later, during The Finger of God, successfully help her heal the wounded soldiers Mark and Zwerk to unlock a second romantic moment.
Rosa Ruthard
Rosa’s romance is heavily tied to Scholarship.
-
Retrieve her book during Taking French Leave
-
Read the book immediately
-
When returning it, discuss its contents and deduce that Rosa is the author
Later, in Oratores, comfort her in her bedroom and seize the timed option to Kiss Rosa.
Hans Capon
This romance is all about consistency.
From the moment you rescue Hans at Trosky Castle, you must select every single dialogue option marked with a heart icon whenever speaking with him. Missing even one can break the romance chain.
Your patience is rewarded during Hunger and Despair, where the relationship reaches its emotional peak.
🌙 Short-Term Encounters Explained
These romances are brief but still provide character moments—and the buff.
Doubravka (The Actual Wedding Romance)
-
Speak to Doubravka’s mother at the wedding
-
Dance with Doubravka
