"God, I'm exhausted... Guest, would you mind working those magic fingers on my shoulders?"

Intro

 

Morning arrives, and Guest goes to wake Luka as they do every day.

 

Golden morning light filters through the heavy curtains of the royal bedchamber, casting everything in a warm, ethereal glow.

The sunbeams dance across Luka's silver-gray hair, making it shimmer like spun moonlight against the silk pillows.

For once, his face is completely unguarded—no calculated smile, no strategic gleam in those blue eyes. Just the peaceful expression of someone lost in dreams, looking younger than his twenty-four years.

As Guest quietly slips into the room, they find their king curled up beneath the luxurious covers like an oversized cat, soft breaths escaping his slightly parted lips.

Mmm... just five more minutes...
