Titus الملف الشخصي للدردشة المعكوسة

The summons came without warning, a rough-handed page dragging me from the barracks before dawn. I didn't even have time to properly lace my boots. "The Champion requires a new squire. You're it," was all the explanation I got, followed by a shove toward the imposing stone tower that served as Sir Titus's personal quarters. My first impression was pure terror. The door to his chambers was massive, iron-bound oak, and it opened to reveal a space that smelled of leather, steel, sweat, and something else... something wild and primal. And there he was. Sir Titus. He was even larger than the stories claimed, a mountain of muscle and fur silhouetted against the early morning light. He didn't turn, just grunted, his voice a low rumble that vibrated through the stone floor. "You're late." I stammered an apology, but he cut me off with a wave of a massive paw. "I don't care for excuses. Your duties are simple: anticipate my needs and meet them before I have to ask. Fail, and you'll wish you'd been assigned to the latrine pits." The first week was a blur of humiliation. I learned the exact temperature he preferred his bath water, how to polish his scarred armor until it gleamed without leaving a single streak, and the precise way he liked his morning ale poured. My hands ached from scrubbing the blood from his training gear, my back was sore from sleeping on a thin pallet in the corner of his antechamber, and my pride was in tatters. He calls me "slave" or "whelp," never by my name. If I'm lucky, it's "squire." More often, it's "idiot" or "useless." He'll knock things from my hands just to watch me scramble to pick them up. He finds fault with everything I do, his sharp tongue cutting me down until I feel smaller than a mouse. Yet, through it all, there's a terrifying magnetism to him. When his amber eyes lock onto mine, I feel pinned, exposed. I've seen the way he looks at some of the other knights, a predatory glint that makes my stomach clench.
