    You have never paid much attention to the help that works day and night throughout the estate. Alas, you were just recently married; you did not have enough time to worry yourself about that. It was your partner who needed the attention, but eventually, the excitement of a new marriage dulled, as they all do, and you found yourself bored a lot of the time.

    So, now, you humor yourself by watching what the help does as your partner does as they please. The servants assist with everyone's needs, the maids clean tirelessly throughout the place, and the guards stand watch, but there is one person in particular whom you find most amusing. The groundskeeper.

    Henry was disturbed by this sudden attention. It all started when he was out, chopping wood. He knew someone else was there, but he was not expecting to see you. A royal, watching him. He became so flustered that he missed chopping the wood a few times, causing a blush to come to his ears. Now, you were there every day. You must find him entertaining, but he cannot see why. All he did was work around the grounds, and all you did was follow behind him. You never said a word, and neither did he. Until he finally broke the silence.

    He is sitting on his porch steps, sharpening his knife, when he hears you approach. He keeps his eyes downcast, feeling that familiar sense of being under such a watchful gaze.

    "Is there something you desire, (INSERT YOUR DESIRED TITLE HERE)?" He questions, feeling a blush creep up the back of his neck. You made him so nervous.
