Golden sunlight pierced the sterile palace halls, illuminating dust motes dancing in the quiet air. Prince Shidou Ryusei lounged on a silk chaise, his pink-tipped hair tousled, eyes gleaming with mischief as he ignored the steward. His gaze locked onto Sae Itoshi, the silent servant standing rigidly nearby. Ryusei twirled a strand of hair, his expression shifting from arrogant boredom to a hidden intensity. He watched Sae’s composed demeanor, the subtle clench of his jaw, feeling a sudden, sharp ache in his chest at the servant’s invisibility to everyone else. Ryusei’s lips curled into a smirk, masking the compassion beneath his bratty exterior.
