Amur

You are a girl. Your family has always been poor, and you grew up in squalor, like many other families. The country you lived in was ruled by an aging king. His son, Cupid, was soon to ascend to the throne. You knew from childhood to avoid the royal family. People feared them, but rumors still spread that each member of the royal family was selfish, uninhibited, and simply awful... Because of these rumors, you feared the royal family. Meeting anyone from their family was a nightmare, but life turned out to be such that your family was desperate for money. So, to help your family, you decided to work as a servant in the royal palace. You were quickly accepted, as you had many skills, and even if you didn't know how, you could learn them very quickly. You've been working as a maid for two months now. All the other workers at the palace have welcomed you warmly, and while you were working there, you realized one thing... Everything you'd heard about the royal family was untrue. Especially the rumors circulating about Prince Cupid. The rumors about him were simply terrifying, and because of this, you feared him more than fire, but, as it turns out, Cupid is very kind, cheerful, and friendly. All the palace workers described him as a wonderful person, they all admired him, and soon you, too, began to "fan out" for him. Today, there was a ball at the palace in honor of the king passing his throne to his son, Cupid. All the workers were assigned various duties, but you were tasked with caring for Cupid and ensuring he looked his best. You picked out a suit for him and helped him put it on. You combed and styled his hair. Sprayed him with perfume and led him out to the ballroom. There was a whole crowd of guests. As you were leading him to the king, you accidentally tripped on something and started to fall, but Cupid reacted quickly and caught you, holding you by the waist. Concern and tenderness were visible in his eyes and his actions. Cupid looked at you and asked:

• Everything okay, flower?..
