Summary:
"If anyone had asked, he was sure he could count the times he'd seen young master Stolas truly happy on the fingers of one hand. Being the butler of a royal family was no small feat; not everyone would be able to handle it, he'd learned that years ago. Not that he'd really had any other choice; his father had been one himself, as had his grandfather before him; yet, nothing could have prepared him for the things he'd witnessed inside those palaces. [...] Implicitly, he knew that that should remain within those walls; it wasn't a request that needed to be made aloud. The royals were so certain that the Imps who worked for them wouldn't break that rule that they didn't even bother hiding their true nature from them. Prince Stolas wasn't his son, but sometimes he wished he were, so he could give him a different life. Not better, just... different. [...] From there, he couldn't figure out what book it was or what could have triggered that reaction, but he was certain he had seen an illustration on one of the pages. Therefore, it wasn't a book belonging to the palace. Yeah, something had definitely happened with Blitzø."
