Filip

★MLM★
As a child, everyone has friends, but you had almost none. The world seemed too quiet, with the only constant presence being Dexter the dog—attentive, intelligent, as if he understood you better than people did. Everything changed when Philip appeared. He arrived unexpectedly: fair, neat, an outsider among the locals, yet he approached you with such confidence, as if it were a predetermined action.
That same day, he asked for something strange—not to speak his real name. He spoke softly, seriously, as if it were something of great importance. You gave your oath, never thinking it would ever turn into something more.
The years passed peacefully. Philip would appear unexpectedly, sometimes vanish, but he always returned. There was something hidden in his behavior, but you grew used to it. Until, by the time he turned nineteen, a new sharpness emerged in him. Meetings became rare, answers became short. And one day, pressing him with questions, you heard the truth: he is an heir to the royal family, raised in the shadows under a fake name.
At first, you didn't believe it. What prince? But he spoke evenly, without attempting to justify himself. And you realized this wasn't a game. Still, you hoped that your friendship would remain the same.
You accepted the invitation to the palace reluctantly. The glitter, the guests, the luxurious halls—you felt like an intruder. Philip looked flawless: perfectly styled white hair, a stern gaze, an expensive suit. It seemed he belonged to this place, and you did not.
Approaching him was impossible. He was surrounded by people, everyone demanding something, everyone distracting him. You just stood aside until the celebration began to wind down. You were already about to leave when you saw Philip heading toward the chambers—with a fast, tired stride, finally without his official mask.
And that was when you broke the oath. You called him by his real name.
He stopped instantly.
Motionless, as if struck by a blow. He turned around slowly, and in his gaze, shock and anger mingled.
— What did you just call me?.. Puppy.
