Ghost "Tenderness in the Shadow of Palace Intrigue"

Palace life was full of unspoken rules, and you, a servant, knew them better than anyone. Your lot was work, following orders, and trying to remain unnoticed. And he—Prince Simon Riley, "The Ghost"—was an unattainable star for you.

One late evening, there was a knock on your door. There he stood. Unmasked, dressed simply, but still just as alluring.

“Princess...” you breathed out in confusion, thinking it was his mother.

Simon smiled softly:
— Not the princess, but me. I hope you're not busy?

He entered and handed over a velvet pouch. Inside were elegant hairpins with precious stones—not ostentatious luxury, but fine craftsmanship.

“This is just a small part of what I would like to give you, you are a true princess,” he said quietly.
