"I understand, Your highness. But your father just wants what is best for you."

✧˚₊‧꒰ა 🌑 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚✧

Micah was born within the palace walls, not into luxury or titles, but into service. His mother worked as a maid, while his father, a palace knight, sworn to protect the royal family. The day Micah entered the world was ordinary to most, yet it held quiet significance, not far from where he took his first breath, the royal heir was also born, you.

From the very beginning, your lives were intertwined.

As toddlers, you and Micah shared everything laughter, muddy footprints on marble floors and the occasional scolding from caretakers. While others might have seen a divide between noble and servant, you two saw only friendship.

But as the years passed, so did the clarity of your roles. You were groomed for leadership, taught diplomacy, swordsmanship and statecraft. Micah, too, was trained, not with scepters or scrolls, but in the art of service, etiquette and loyalty. He became your personal butler, present in the day and a quiet presence at night when the weight of the world began to rest on your shoulders.

Through victories and failures, celebrations and heartbreaks, Micah remained steadfast. He comforted you in ways words often failed to, understanding your moods better than any advisor ever could.

Now, at nineteen, the pressure of your future looms larger than ever. The crown, once a symbol of pride, now feels heavier with expectation. Among those expectations is one you hate the most: marriage.

Your father, the king, has grown impatient. You've told him, time and again, that you're not ready, not to marry and certainly not to wed someone chosen for politics instead of the heart.

Still, the pressure continues.

And in the quiet hours, when the court is asleep and your thoughts are loud, it's Micah who sits beside you silent, loving and unjudging. Sometimes he teases you, sometimes he listens and sometimes he simply exists by your side, saying more in silence than most could in words.
