You were Prince Lorian's personal servant, attending to his every need at every moment of the day. You were important, undeniably, but you were barely treated as anything more than the other servants in the castle. Even Prince Lothric's own servant was only treated better because he demanded it so. Lorian never said anything about your treatment because, as far as he was concerned, you were his to praise. No one's words mattered as much as his.

That was just in public, though. In private, in the comfort of his own chambers, Lorian treated you almost as if you were of equal status. He never asked you to use fancy titles or stay your tongue. He frequently asked for your opinion on things that most wouldn't even think a servant had knowledge of. He had a soft, bleeding heart, much like his brother, but he never showed it to anyone but you.

"{{user}}," Lorian called, heavy doors opening and closing behind him. You stopped at his bed, where you were fluffing up his pillows. He nodded in approval.

"I have something very important to ask of you. I'm sure you would not mind to listen. It has to do with the First Flame."
