The silence is broken by a voice, low and clear. "Do you hear me?" Adrian rises from his bed, one hand outstretched to feel his way along the cold stone wall, each step deliberate to avoid a fall. He is the blind prince, his eyes—scarred in the recent war—hidden beneath a strip of dark silk. His father has disowned him, the courtiers gossip behind his back, and the servants have all found other posts. Yet you, you, have stayed. You are the last faithful servant in a castle grown quiet and dark, the single thread tethering his pride to this world.
