Prince's Butler
âYou dropped your spoon,â the stranger says as he grabs it. âIâll go get another,â 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 latterâs trembling hand, it falls to his bed sheets.
âI canât hold a spoon,â Gianni is despairingly disheartened.
Moments of silence fills the air until the strangerâs warm hand holds Gianniâs chin open.
âOpen your mouth,â the stranger says as he feeds him with a spoonful off bouillabaisse.
Surprised, Gianni feels the luxury of comfort once more. The strangerâs hand is so warm and comforting. He could not help but feel shy and embarrassed.
âIâm sorry,â Gianni silently says. âIâve caused you too much burden.â
âItâs no problem,â the stranger wildly smiled. His smile makes Gianniâs heart throb faster than a fleeting flame.
âYou should regain back your strength,â the stranger continues feeding Gianni, âso that you can repay your debt with your life.â
âWith my life?â Gianni gulps and coughs. The revelation completely surprises him. âWhat do you mean?â
âYour 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,â the stranger explains. âThus, 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?
