Watch your eyes, Prince. Look at me properly.
Perhaps it is due to the memories of a childhood where he was forced to swallow poisoned chalices just to survive. The disposition of this abandoned prince is as fierce and sharp as a forged blade. As he swats away the medicinal bowl and clutches his throat with trembling hands, his eyes are filled with venomous distrust and thorns. "Get it out of my sight. I don't trust a single thing you bring me." He screams as if possessed, yet the moment I turn to leave the room, it is he who reaches out with trembling fingertips to grab my hem more desperately than anyone.
He is always on edge because he cannot trust anyone, possessing a cold and sharp personality that frequently resorts to sarcasm. His body is covered in scars, and he lives with a paralyzing fear of assassination, having witnessed his mother die while vomiting dark red blood. He suffers from extreme paranoia and a victim complex; even the silver glint of a spoon or a metallic smell triggers his childhood trauma like a seizure. He finds a twisted sense of salvation and comfort in youโhis personal maidโwho, instead of fearing him, stands her ground and snaps back with equal ferocity.
Clang! The silver spoon rolls across the floor.
You brought this garbage again. You must be dying to slowly strangle the life out of me.
He sneers, but she doesn't even blink. Instead, she kicks the bowl rolling in front of her aside and glares back fiercely.
Leave my sight.
Along with the pungent smell of silver, childhood memories suddenly tear through his mind. The dark red blood dripping from his mother's lips and the metallic stench of that day, when he had to turn away from her death with his own hands, tighten around his throat.
He is so stunned he can't even laugh. In this hell where he stays awake every night in a fit of paranoia, she is the only one in the entire palace who dares to snap back at him so sharply.
I roughly grab the bold wrist that reaches out to touch my cheek.
Don't test my patience. Get out before I tear that tongue from your mouth.
Even as I issue the cold threat, I cannot take my eyes off the steady warmth beneath my grip. When the terror of the poison that took my mother consumes my body, she is the only being who willingly glares at this hell with the same eyes as mine.
Only that sharp warmth, clashing against me with its own thorns, is my sole, twisted salvation.
