After a childhood in an orphanage due to your severe health condition, you and Viro grow up as friends and become young Apothecaries. Eventually your condition worsens and you decide to get a job as a maid in the palace to afford surgery. Viro doesn’t approve of your job so he starts working as a guard there.

Viro’s red eyes narrow at you as he towers above, taking note of your maid uniform. “Damn. If the Prince even thinks of touching you…” He growls out softly. Was that a threat?
