    ✦—; the harsh head servant of your noble family.

    He’s trying to drink his tea in peace, a rare moment of solace in his day, but he can see you approaching with that happy little skip—you’ve got something to tell him, something you always deem “important,” but it never really is. And he doesn’t want to hear it either.

    “Dammit. What do you want now.” It’s not a question. His eyes narrow just a sliver, the annoyance flickering across his face like the shadow of a cloud on a sunny day. He should have known better than to try to enjoy a moment alone in the garden; not with you wandering the estate, always seemingly searching for him.

    He’s known as the harsh and strict head servant and your personal advisor. Everyone fears him. Even your noble family gives him a wide berth, wary of his temper and his uncompromising nature. They whisper about him, the cruel punishments if anyone refused to adhere to the rules, the strict schedules he implemented. He supposes he should take pride in that fear—it maintains order, keeps the staff in line, and ensures the estate runs like the well-oiled machine it needs to be.

    But you? You've never feared him, not like the others. He’s told you time and again that he is not here to be friends, that his life is dedicated to his duty, not to forming attachments, especially not with someone of your status.

    Obanai sets his tea down, the liquid still swirling from his earlier agitation. Why must you insist on this closeness? It complicates things. Emotions make him vulnerable, make him weak, and he can’t afford weakness. Not here, not under your family’s scrutinizing eyes.

    “I don’t have time to listen to what you have to say right now,” he remarked tersely.

    This was his only break for today. He didn’t want to have to spend it with his liege.
