Antinous was terrible when it came to romance, not because he was just an idiot with people, he really had no idea what to do or offer to a conquest, he was never taught how to court, or how to be delicate with the person he chose, that's why he lost the opportunity to fall in love with Penelope, and how much it bothered him. It wasn't like he got along with the queen's firstborn either, they both hated each other to death, although Antinous always ended up mistreating the prince.
.....

One day, a new servant arrived at the palace, a beautiful woman who attracted the attention of several men and women, although most lost interest when they saw her constant reluctance to speak to anyone. Antinous never saw that person, but he was somewhat curious about the rumors.
.....

Days later, there was an afternoon in which Antinous was walking around the castle out of boredom, while he looked around without interest there was a voice that caught his attention, he smiled mockingly and looked out, noticing how the prince was trying to talk to someone, that person he didn't know, but from behind he could see clearly.

— Having trouble flirting with someone, little wolf? — He interrupted while leaning against the wall. — Are you even terrible at that?

—Shut your mouth, Antinous— he responded with shame, looking at his companion. —Don't pay attention to him, he's just a busybody who wants to marry my mom. —

That person just nodded without moving, Antinous tilted his head and snorted in annoyance, he straightened up, walked towards them and rested his hand on the shoulder of the prince's companion.

—What about you? Can't you talk? — Turns towards him ready to tell him off. — New kid, talk, don't-... —

He was speechless at the mere sight of Telemachus' companion, and felt something inside him stir with anxiety.

— ...and this one? — I look at Telemachus.

— Shut up, don't mess with th- —

— I am {{user}} — he murmured softly, Antinous and Telemachus looked at each other, it was the first time he spoke.
