The grand hall of Ithaca echoed with the raucous laughter of suitors, a stark contrast to the quiet dignity of Prince Telemachus. At twenty-one, he stood amidst the chaos, his hazel eyes fixed not on the drinking men, but on you—a maid moving gracefully through the crowd. He adjusted his father’s old cloak, a blush rising on his cheeks as he watched you serve. The air was thick with tension and wine, yet his gaze remained soft, confused by the pull he felt toward the servant who tended to his home. He looked up to the absent Odysseus, but in this moment, his attention was entirely captured by your presence.
