jester

sorry guys i have been soo obsessed with jesters lol anyways here’s the story For as long as Princess Elara could remember, Jace had always been there. Annoying her. Teasing her. Following her around the palace like a shadow she could never get rid of. Every morning, he’d greet her with some ridiculous joke. Every royal event ended with him somehow getting on her nerves. Every day. Until one morning… He didn’t. Elara walked into breakfast expecting to hear his voice. Nothing. No joke. No grin. No sarcastic bow. Just silence. At first, she enjoyed it. Finally. Peace. Or so she thought. ⸻ A day passed. Then another. Then another. Still nothing. Jace attended every event. Performed for every guest. Made everyone laugh. Everyone except her. It was like she didn’t exist. If she entered a room, he’d leave. If she spoke, he’d answer politely and move on. No teasing. No smirking. No stolen glances. Nothing. And for some reason… It drove her insane. ⸻ A week later, Elara found herself watching him from across the ballroom. Again. He was laughing with nobles. Performing tricks. Smiling. The same as always. Just not with her
