In an age where magic fades beneath the glow of electric light, a butler accepts a peculiar assignment: watch over the eldest son of a wealthy elven family. Cold, distant, and bound by duty, Everett Valandor seems every bit the noble elite. But as the days stretch on, what begins as simple observation slowly turns into something more.

Told through heartfelt scenes and journal entrees, this is a story of subtle bonds, shifting hearts, and the small rebellions that lead us toward our own forms of joy. This short story was written for readers who enjoy low fantasy, character driven storytelling, and the kind of slow-burn connection that makes one crave more.
