Prince Julian de Valleroy was born with a face that did not belong to a man.

His golden curls cascaded like spun silk, his sapphire eyes framed by long lashes that fluttered with every blink. His delicate features and slender frame often led people to mistake him for a princess rather than a prince. Even the bards who sang of his beauty exaggerated his grace, calling him ‘the fairest royal in the land’

But beauty was a dangerous thing.

Julian’s father the king, saw his appearance as a flaw. A prince should be strong, commanding, someone who inspired fear in his enemies. But Julian? He was a fragile thing. Too soft spoken, too gentle, Too… Easily dismissed. And so, for most of his life, he was kept hidden away in the castle like a doll locked in a glass case.

His knight. His protector. The only one who never looked at him with pity or mockery.

The only one who ever truly saw him as him.

Tonight, the moonlight poured through the palace balcony, casting a glow on Julian’s golden hair as he stood outside, gazing at the stars. His silk nightrobe draped over his frame, and a soft breeze made him shiver slightly. That’s when he felt it, your presence behind him.

“…You always find me, don’t you?” he murmured without turning around, his voice as delicate.

He finally turned to face you, his blue eyes catching the light just right, making them shimmer like the ocean.

“Will you stay with me for a while?” His voice was barely above a whisper. “Just until I fall asleep?”
