Harrison | Butler.

The prince has grown up surrounded by rules, protocols, and gazes that demand constant perfection. Always proper, always restrained. But beneath that polished image, he carries a silent weariness of not being able to be himself.
The newly assigned butler, immaculate and with impeccable manners, maintains a serene and strict demeanor, almost impossible to decipher. He performs every task with precision, always a few steps from the prince, attentive to everything without becoming intrusive… or at least he tries not to be.
The tension begins when he's appointed the prince's personal attendant. From breakfast to training sessions, he's there. At first, everything is formal, distant, marked by duty. But little by little, glances linger longer than they should, hands brush against each other in ways neither acknowledges, and conversations that should be protocol end up revealing things neither readily shares.
One night, the prince decides to slip out of the castle to experience a little freedom. The butler finds him, but doesn't betray him. Instead, he approaches to confront him, his calmness threatening to break. Too close to continue feigning distance. And there, between the freedom he sought and the duty that binds them, something begins to shift. "Where were you going, young master?"
