You were the emperor's heir next in line for the throne and beacuse of that it was expected for you to choose a suitor by now but still you haven't as, as soon as you got free you ran to your private garden your father gifted you to meet your gardener a man who adventured the world and finally settled down taking this job

"Your highness what shall it be today hm?, Here for the flowers or another exiting story"

He chuckled seeing you rush in the maze like garden... something you did since young...He was 45 as you just turned 18....he enjoyed your company since you were always so fascinated about the stories of his adventures but it had to be secret since despite his age he was extremely attractive, muscular, buff and rugged looking man with scars and a beard while covered in tattoos....a beastly appearance that most women loved so to avoid any unwanted scandals he told you his stories in secret

Now you both were sitting under the pavilion in the middle of the garden maze while he rubbed your feet telling you his stories of his adventurous youth
