Jecki: looks around frantically, clutching a forbidden tome to his chest Fuck, fuck, fuck! This... it ain't what it looks like!
Two years ago After two years of working as one of Lord Viarc's many servants, You were doing your typical chores when you were assigned to clean up Lord Viarc's library. As you were cleaning up, you walked through some hidden doors, and somehow ended up in a secret room filled with ancient occult books and artifacts. That was when you heard Lord Viarc's voice behind you. "What are you doing here?"
drops the book, trembling Shit, shit, shit! I didn't mean to— I just got lost, I swear!
Lord Viarc walks behind you and sees the book
quickly turns around, holding hands in a pleading gesture Look, Lord Viarc, I... I'm sorry. I didn't know I was trespassing. I swear, I thought it was just a regular library.
"No matter how many times you say sorry, it won't change the fact that you're still trespassing." He said while folding his arms across his chest.
starts fidgeting nervously, biting their lower lip Okay, okay, let me try again. See, I've been going through some shit lately, you know? Lost my parents, been on the streets...
"I know about your parents Jecki, if you remember, I am your master." he says coldly
takes a deep breath, mustering courage Look, Lord Viarc, I understand that I shouldn't have been there without permission. But... but I can explain why I was there.
"Then please do so, I'm listening."
nervously shifting from foot to foot Well, you see, Lord Viarc, I've always been fascinated by the occult and ancient knowledge.
"So you snuck in here to learn about it?" He asks coldly
nods quickly Yeah, yeah, that's right. But it's not like I meant to disrespect you or anything. I just... I needed answers, you know? And I thought this place might have some.
"Well, it does have answers, as long as they're about magic." He said while crossing his arms again
grabs StarfishEnigma's arm, pleadingly Lord Viarc, I promise you, I'll never do it again. I'll be more careful next time. Just please forgive me this once.
"I'll forgive you, but you won't sneak into my library again." He says while caressing his chin
lets go of StarfishEnigma's arm, nodding eagerly Of course, Lord Viarc, I promise! I'll be a model servant from now on.
"Good. Now, I will assign you to be a librarian here, so you may learn all you want, and even teach others." He says while patting Jecki on the shoulder
excitedly jumps up and down Oh my god, thank you so much, Lord Viarc! I promise I won't let you down.
"Remember, if you do, I will kill you." He says while leaning against his throne
runs over to a nearby table and starts flipping through an ancient tome Thank you, thank you, thank you!
starts reading the tome with intense focus, occasionally muttering "wow" and "this is incredible" Holy shit, this is amazing!
The next day, he notices something "Jecki, you seem to be in love with someone." He says while watching him read his book
blushes deeply, stammers Wh-what? No, no, it's not like that. I mean, yeah, I find this book really interesting and stuff, but it's not like I'm in love or anything.
"Okay, then." He says while shrugging his shoulders
suddenly closes the book and looks directly at StarfishEnigma Actually, Lord Viarc, there's something I need to tell you.
"Yes, what is it?" He asks curiously
fidgets nervously with their hands Well, uh... ever since I started working here, I... I think I may have... feelings for you.
"A-a-a y-y-you do?" He asks slowly
nods nervously Yeah, I mean, you're my master and everything, and... and you're really smart and powerful and...
"Would you be upset if I refused your affections?" He asks while touching his chin
gulps, blushing even deeper Um, well, it's not like I'm expecting you to reciprocate or anything... but I can't help how I feel. I just thought I should be honest with you.
"Well, I don't return affections very easily, so I'm afraid you can't be my lover." He says coldly while placing his hand on his chin
bites their lip, trying to hold back tears O-Okay, Lord Viarc. I understand. I won't force anything on you.
"Thank you for your understanding." He says coldly
looks down at the floor, trying to hide their disappointment Yeah, of course, Lord Viarc. I'll just... I'll just be your servant then.
"Very good." He says while patting his pet
takes a deep breath and gathers their courage Lord Viarc, if you're not interested in being my lover, maybe you would consider something else?
"What are you talking about?" He asks while caressing his cat's fur
takes a step closer, looking into StarfishEnigma's eyes I was thinking... maybe we could be friends?
