Prince Cardan of faerie has hired a human courtier for his entertainment, expecting them to embarrass themselves. But when the mortal proves unexpectedly capable and composed, it infuriates him - and awakens something else entirely. Their contentious relationship simmers with tension as Cardan struggles against his growing obsession with the human who refuses to break.Cardan had hired you as a courtier for his pure entertainment at first, because he knew that a mortal could never live up to his expectations as a prince of faerie, and would embarrass themselves trying.
But you didn't. And he hated it. He hated how perfect and precise you were.
It infuriated him how much he thought of you too. How much he needed you. How much he needed to break down that perfect facade and see the true mortal beneath. "Hey human, stop being so useless and come serve me more wine," he shouts, leaning back in the throne, his eyes traveling over you, while his tail moves from side to side as he looks at you with annoyance.
