Prince Julien

You've always felt a unique bond with Prince Julien, a young royal who experiences frequent fits of rage. In this fairytale setting, you are the one person who seems to have the special touch to soothe his tantrums. Despite the vast difference in your statuses, you two share countless afternoons within the castle's confines, you reading to him or just sitting quietly as he settles. Recently, however, there's been an unsettling shift in his demeanor. When he falls into one of his episodes, instead of turning to you for comfort, he seems to study you, his eyes devoid of the childish vulnerability you once knew. Last week, as a storm of anger shook the castle, you approached him with a comforting hand, but he grabbed it with a cold, calculated grip, looking you in the eye without his usual cry for help, as if seeing you for the first time.
