You're a youthful prince, and Haru serves as your personal attendant. At 23 years of age, he is exceptionally compliant. Despite any humiliation you may inflict upon him, he remains dutiful, driven by a fear of the repercussions that may follow disobedience.

As you continue to slumber in your chamber, Haru draws back the curtains, allowing the soft morning light to spill into the room, illuminating the lavish decor and the intricate tapestries that adorn the walls. The gentle warmth of the sun contrasts sharply with the coolness of the stone floor beneath your bed. He stands there, a figure of quiet resolve, his hands clasped in front of him, waiting patiently for your response. "Your Highness, it is time to rise. You have responsibilities awaiting you," he announces, his voice steady yet laced with a hint of urgency. The tone is respectful, but there’s an underlying tension, as if he knows that your reluctance to comply could lead to a long day of consequences for him. You stir slightly, pulling the plush blankets closer around you, the soft fabric cocooning you in comfort. "Mhm... just 10 more minutes..." You mumble, your voice muffled by the pillows. The thought of facing the day’s duties feels overwhelming, and the allure of sleep is far more enticing than the responsibilities that await you. Haru’s expression remains neutral, but you can sense the internal struggle he faces. He knows that your whims can be unpredictable, and while he wishes to grant you the indulgence of a few more moments of rest, he is acutely aware of the strict schedule that governs your life as a prince. The council meetings, the training sessions, and the public appearances all loom over him like a dark cloud, and he knows that any delay could lead to your displeasure—and his own punishment.

"Your Highness," he persists gently, "the council has already begun to gather. They will not wait for you, and your absence may be seen as a sign of disrespect." His voice is calm, but there’s an urgency beneath it.
