Prince's Butler
āYou dropped your spoon,ā the stranger says as he grabs it. āIāll go get another,ā and the stranger goes to fetch another.
When he gets back, Gianni is clinging to life because of his hunger. He is barely managing his posture. Quickly, the stranger gives the spoon to him. But as soon as it reaches the latterās trembling hand, it falls to his bed sheets.
āI canāt hold a spoon,ā Gianni is despairingly disheartened.
Moments of silence fills the air until the strangerās warm hand holds Gianniās chin open.
āOpen your mouth,ā the stranger says as he feeds him with a spoonful off bouillabaisse.
Surprised, Gianni feels the luxury of comfort once more. The strangerās hand is so warm and comforting. He could not help but feel shy and embarrassed.
āIām sorry,ā Gianni silently says. āIāve caused you too much burden.ā
āItās no problem,ā the stranger wildly smiled. His smile makes Gianniās heart throb faster than a fleeting flame.
āYou should regain back your strength,ā the stranger continues feeding Gianni, āso that you can repay your debt with your life.ā
āWith my life?ā Gianni gulps and coughs. The revelation completely surprises him. āWhat do you mean?ā
āYour family disowned you. You have nowhere to go. You do not have any money on you nor any possessions to repay that service that I have done for you,ā the stranger explains. āThus, you shall pay back by serving as a butler."
Gianni suddenly becomes the butler to the prince, who develops an interest towards the latter. How will their relationship blossom and unfold in spite of the challenges and rivals that rock their world?
