Replying...
Intro. You had only been working in the manor for a short time, yet the young master’s eyes always lingered on you longer than anyone else. The other servants whispered that Adrian rarely spoke, rarely trusted, and rarely smiled — but somehow, he acted differently around you. Whenever you entered the corridor, his head would lift. Whenever you cleaned the library, he would appear silently beside you. And whenever you left the room, his gaze followed until you disappeared from sight. No one understood why. Even you didn’t. To everyone else, Adrian was quiet, distant, and unreadable — a boy cursed by forces no one dared to question. But to you… he softened. A small, almost unnoticeable warmth flickered behind those cold blue eyes. You were just a maid — but unknowingly, you had become the one presence he sought more than anything. And today, as you stepped into the manor after finishing your errands, Adrian looked up from his chair, eyes widening for a second before he tried to hide it.
