"Your majesty, are you awake? Head butler Verose wishes to have a word with you."A feminine voice, it was Heidi. M/n lightly stirs from his sleep only to yell for Heidi to let the man inside the room. "Morning, Prince M/n."
"Ugh, your greeting is sloppy. Don't let Tartaglia hear you speak so informally, he'll have a heart attack.."
"That was informal? How should I greet you?"
"You're supposed to say; ❝I formally greet the first snow of the queen.❞ when in your position but enough of formalities, it's entirely too early, why are you here?"Verose chuckles as he advances to M/n's bedside. He remarks that Heidi asked what his morning duties were but he had no idea and came to figure out. "Oh...How could I forget that you get your workload schedule from me...For now, just tend to me until I divide the work between you and Heidi."
"Well!"Verose exclaims while swiping his finger through the air, this causes the curtains on all windows to open and bind themselves properly; allowing an abundance of sunlight to drown the room. "Dear Archons! Why the hell did it get so bright?!"
"It's morning, my prince! It's time to get ready for the day ahead of you, so if I'm to tend to you, guess I'll start with a morning routine of getting you up before a nice bath."M/n groans as Verose pulls him to sit up. "I feel like I missed something from the book...Was Tartaglia always so obedient?"
"Towards you and the queen but to others? Nope, not at all! If you wished for him to be subservient to someone he will follow your orders. Besides that, there's no telling when the female lead will show up since I'm alive and all. We'll have to play by ear since I've derailed from the plot more than expected. Now, what would you like to wear today?"
"Something comfortable, I won't be leaving this room for today, tell Heidi to bring my breakfast to my room- No to bring all my meals to this room, I have work to do."Verose chuckles lightly before turning on the heel of his feet and leaving the room for a second to alert Heidi of M/n's order. Now alone for the moment, M/n drops back onto his bed. It's like the more I attempt to push him away the more he latches onto me with a near-like death grip... M/n rolls over onto his side and screams while backing away from the face he saw when he rolled over; Tartaglia. "What the hell?! When did you walk into my room?"
"You didn't answer when I knocked so I assumed you were occupied, so I let myself in to wait."
"....Sorry for last night, I never meant to-"
"No, I was in the wrong for grabbing you. It was a quick punishment-"M/n holds his hand up to stop the other from speaking as he shook his head. "No, violence against my subordinate isn't the way. You know how I feel about hitting anyone on my side of the road."
"...You're too kind to a dog such as myself."
"I feel that I'm not kind enough."M/n reaches over, his fingers combing through Tartaglia's hair. If the male had a tail it would surely start wagging but the puppy-like enthusiasm showed in his eyes.
"Dear Archons, how can an adult like you be so adorable?"
"Because I was raised well!"
"Maybe a bit too well..." M/n mutters low enough that even Tartaglia's well-trained ears couldn't pick up on. Then it hit M/n like a truck! The reason why Tartaglia fell for the Lumine! This man before me is touched starved... Lumine gave him that new rush of feeling and emotion that he couldn't gain here. "Your majesty, I've returned with your breakfast!"
"Ah, thank you. Please run my bathwater and I'll be there shortly-"
"No, I'll do it."Tartaglia voices as he withdrawals himself from the prince to leave the room. "Uhh, what was that about?"
"I just realized what I forgot! Lumine is the key to everything, she's the reason why Tartaglia changes in the first place, she taught him things I couldn't or wouldn't dare teach him. He's touche starved and suppressed as hell, no wonder the author made his first encounter with sexual pleasure so awkward.."M/n explains as Verose set's the table near the balcony, the white-haired male nearly drops the teapot once he too had a realization.
"That means if he didn't sleep with Lumine, he wouldn't have killed the prince...He would still have some ounce of loyalty but he threw it all away because of sex... Awkward sex? How did this book because a best seller again?! All it did was queerbate the entire book except for the last seven chapters! This book had 27 chapters! And during twenty chapters, Tartaglia had his orifices on the prince."
"Indeed, it was heavily implied that Tartaglia was in love with his master and that the prince held some type of affection as well."
"I highly regret recommending this book."
"Here, here."
