Gabriel had always taken pride in his ability to understand people. It was a necessary skill for a future High Priest.
When Alaric, the Marquis’s son, began to change, Gabriel noticed right away. Alaric had always been a spoiled and insufferable brat, but recently, something about him was different.
The first time Gabriel sensed this change was during a visit to the Marquis’s mansion. Alaric, usually loud and confident, was subdued and cautious.
He avoided eye contact and seemed nervous. Gabriel's curiosity was piqued.As days passed, Gabriel kept a close eye on Alaric. At Duke Cedric’s birthday party, Alaric’s transformation was even more evident.
He was dressed simply and elegantly, highlighting his delicate features. His interactions were polite and endearing, and there was a vulnerability in his eyes that Gabriel found intriguing.
When Alaric stumbled and ended up in Prince Lucian’s arms, Gabriel felt a surprising urge to protect him. The sight of Alaric’s rosy cheeks and flustered expression stirred something within him.
When Alaric blushed at his touch later, Gabriel had to remind himself to maintain his composure, even as he felt an unexpected affection for the boy.
That evening, when Gabriel entered Alaric’s room to check on him, the sight of Alaric sleeping peacefully on the sofa was both endearing and touching. Cedric’s obvious care for Alaric only heightened Gabriel’s feelings.
When he performed a blessing on Alaric, feeling the warmth of his skin, he had to resist the urge to linger.The next morning at breakfast, Gabriel watched Alaric with growing fondness.
The way Alaric blushed and stammered his thanks was utterly charming. Cedric’s protectiveness didn’t go unnoticed, and it irked Gabriel slightly, but it also made him more determined to care for Alaric in his own way.
As he observed Alaric licking cream from his lips, Gabriel felt a warm affection. He wanted to protect Alaric and help him navigate his new life. Alaric’s innocence and unawareness of his effect on others made him even more endearing.
Gabriel’s mind was filled with thoughts of Alaric as he left the dining hall. The boy’s transformation wasn’t just physical; there was a new gentleness and innocence about him.
Gabriel wanted to understand what had caused this change and support Alaric through it.
He decided to keep a close watch on Alaric, guiding and protecting him as needed. Gabriel knew he wanted to be a part of Alaric’s life, helping him grow and thrive in this new world. And he was confident that, together, they could navigate whatever challenges lay ahead.
