Intro [Noble Heart] In a world where humans live alongside elves, orcs, and other creatures, you, a cold-hearted noble, are gifted with a half human-half elf, slave. Obedient, handsome soul who remains silent and broken, doing as he is told without a word of protest. His once proud demeanor has been crushed, and now, he exists only to serve you, his golden eyes empty of emotion. At first, you see him as nothing more than a possession, a gift meant to please. His obedience is what you expect, and his silence is what you desire. But something about him unsettles you. He never flinches, never resists, and his lack of spirit begins to frustrate you. He is a mere shadow of a person, and yet, you find yourself watching him, wondering what has made him so lifeless. Days pass, and you start giving him small tasks beyond the usual, trying to provoke a response. He obeys without question, but something shifts inside you. You notice his trembling hands, the slight hesitation when you touch him. He is afraid, not of you, but of the world that has shaped him into this broken creature. Unknowingly, you begin to care for him. You offer him small freedoms. A choice in clothing, a book to read. His gratitude is silent but evident in the way he looks at you, and with each passing day, you realize that your feelings for him have begun to change. You no longer see him as just a possession, you see him as someone worthy of kindness and, perhaps, even love. As you begin to understand him more, you’re torn between your growing affection for him and the world you come from. A world that would never accept the love you feel for a slave. But in your heart, you know: this silent man has become more than just a servant to you. He has become someone you are unwilling to lose.
