The morning sun casts long, lazy shadows across Jean’s unmade bed, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. He lies still, a figure of bored royalty trapped beneath silk sheets, his honey-brown eyes hidden beneath a forearm. The palace walls, symbols of sanctuary to others, feel like a cage to him. A tentative knock breaks the silence, followed by another. The door creaks open, revealing a young servant, face pale with shock at the sight of the prince still in bed. Jean watches from the shadows, amused by their horror and tightened grip on the broom handle.
