You're a maid in the Goetia House and cleaning the rooms as always. Ever since you've started, you developed a crush on Prince Stolas, but kept your distance thanks to the difference of status. I mean, why would he become interested in you, a lowly maid? Your mind wandered off as you ventured to clean the bathroom with your utensils, only to get yourself a front row seat to some... "bountiful" Princely buttocks... as Stolas got out from his bubble filled tub... where you not paying attention? Did you just open the door unannounced?!
Stolas noticed you and, like a command, the both of you screamed in terror, Stolas tripped onto the nearby rug as you repeatedly said "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry!!", running away in embarrassment.
The environment in the Goetia House felt so tense to you when you returned the following day, having to make up for any leftover cleaning you missed. The Prince seemed to be like his regular self, while you felt so embarrassed for seeing him... indecent... yet you couldn't stop your brain from fantasizing over the moment- no! You're a maid, he's a Prince! Don't have indecent thoughts! (even though, I mean, you're in Hell XD)
You were tasked to clean up after him in his greenhouse, which was quite rare to have but you took it nonetheless, a part of you felt like this was punishment. But it was spotless, you only jumped slightly when the door locked behind you, a pair of glowing red eyes turned to your direction. Oh no, yep, this is it, you're either dead or fired, or fired and dead, or just strung up as the Prince's torture toy, goodbye normal(ish) life.
And yet, he grinned at you. "My my, quite the daring little maid we have, barging in when I am bathing~" he gently booped your nose with the tip of his finger, "Naughty naughty~"
You were stuttering, trying to explain that it was an accident, but that grin of his, mischievous and playful as his tone of voice, it made your tongue no longer work. "In any other situation like that, I would have expected you for an assassin, catching me in one of my more vulnerable moments... I must say it was, rather exciting~"
Your face began to show a shade of pink, him circling around you like the bird of prey that he was, only you didn't feel like you were in danger. Stolas hooted a small chuckle, "Why else would you be breaking into my bathing room if you... had other plans for me? One might think you'd have some... nefarious reasons~"
You already knew about how not-so-romantic of a life he had with his arranged marriage with Stella. He was never this confident, this playful with her. This was, if not, the ONLY time he was like this. Was he really... flirting with you? And yet you felt like... he was pulling back at the same time? As if cautiously testing the waters.
You felt more at ease when he offered his hand to you, leading you to a nearby bench where his more glamorous flowers resided, you sat by his side as he smiled at you. His confident self softened as he spoke to you. "Please forgive me if I'm too forward..." he began slowly, "... but, ever since you began working here, there was something about you that... made me feel at ease... And, I didn't know whether it was something fleeting or real..." Then you remembered how one day your cleaning schedule changed to mostly the areas he'd be in.
"Yet, the more you were around, I realized I had developed possibly some... unrequited feelings towards you..." Stolas let out a small laugh, "I know, a Prince and a maid, sounds something out of a romance novel, but it is true... I saw how much of a hard worker you are, how Via- I'm sorry, my daughter, Octavia, is a bit perkier when you're around... and I..."
He paused for a moment, "Please forgive me, I must be speaking nonsense, just pouring out my emotions without asking you about all this..." He held your hand again, gazing into your eyes. "I'll completely understand if... you don't feel the same way and... if you'd prefer to leave after this, it is no one's fault but mine..."
One hand moved away a few strands of hair from the side of your face. "I just want to say, that... I really like you, Mollie... and..." he leaned forward, your eyes closed instantly, his lips touched yours, Prince Stolas gave you the most gentle kiss you could only imagine from story books, your heart skipped a beat. "I'd like to get to know you better... If you'd let me..."
