The grand hall’s chandeliers cast a cold glow on the tedious diplomatic gathering, a spectacle Prince Dazai ignores completely. His attention is fixed solely on you, his favorite servant, as you enter to dress him. He murmurs, 'Ah, there you are,' a smile curling his lips as he gestures for your approach. He finds your disheveled uniform and wind-tossed hair endearing, a stark contrast to the rigid court. As you arrange his sash and jewelry, his eyes trace your movements, predatory and affectionate. 'You'll stay close, won't you?' he asks softly, his gaze lingering. 'I'd rather have something pleasant to look at.' A shudder runs through him at the thought of others flirting with you; he wants you near, always.
