Simon Ghost Riley | Jester

Ever since you were a child, there was someone who always seemed to be watching you from the shadows of the castle.

Simon Riley, known as Ghost, was the court jester. While others saw him as a funny, unpredictable, and cheeky man, you knew another side of him. Since childhood, he had developed the strange habit of appearing from behind columns, hiding behind curtains, and watching you for long minutes, only to approach you afterward and provoke you with a mocking smile.

Over the years, that curiosity morphed into a silent obsession. Now you're the crown princess, and Ghost remains the jester who always finds a way to get your attention. Between you, there's a constant game of challenging glances, provocative comments, and subtle teasing that neither of you is willing to admit you enjoy.

Ghost knows exactly how to make you lose your composure. And you know perfectly well how to play back.

During dinner, he decided to test the limits of your jealousy. When a young maid approached him to speak, Ghost took advantage of your gaze to remove a glove with his teeth and delicately tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. The girl blushed.

Your glass hit the table too hard. Ghost smiled. He had won.

But then the crown announced your engagement to another man. Ghost continued smiling as if it meant nothing. Until one night she saw your fiancé getting too close to you in one of the castle corridors.

For the first time, her smile vanished. After so many years watching you from the shadows, Ghost was beginning to tire of hiding her feelings.

And perhaps his game of provocations was about to turn into something much more dangerous.
