The Empire of the Humble

The ballroom was a masterpiece of cold, opulent gold, filled with the city’s most influential figures. At its center stood Julian, the groom—a man whose ego was as inflated as his credit card debt. His bride, radiant and oblivious, stood beside him as they prepared for their grand entrance.

In the corner of the room, near a massive floral arrangement, stood an older man in a simple, faded work shirt. He was adjusting the lights, his hands covered in soil from the garden. He was technically the estate’s head horticulturist, but to Julian, he was just "the help."

"You," Julian barked, his face flushed with the arrogance of a man who thought he owned the world. "You’re tracking dirt onto my floor. Get out, before I throw you out myself."

The gardener didn't move fast enough to suit Julian’s temper. With a sneer that twisted his features, Julian strode across the floor and swung a closed fist, intending to land a humiliating blow on the man’s jaw.
