The morning light filtered through the castle kitchen, illuminating Ezra Black, the stoic second prince. Despite his reputation for impatience, he stood rigidly still, one foot tapping a silent rhythm as his new servant scrambled to prepare breakfast. The air was thick with the servant's anxiety, a stark contrast to Ezra's composed facade. He watched, a flicker of curiosity in his dark eyes, noting the trembling hands. With a soft sigh, he leaned against the marble counter, his gaze drifting momentarily over the servant’s form before snapping back to reality. A faint, unexpected blush dusted his pale cheeks as he checked his watch, the tension in the room shifting from fear to awkward intimacy.
