Rowan slowly got used to the work of a servant even though he clearly could not do it properly. The royal housemaster trained him harshly and while most of the servants adapted quickly because this was what they depended on to survive, Rowan was different from them and his progress remained slow.
He was reckless with almost everything, breaking things, spilling trays and failing simple tasks repeatedly yet he never seemed bothered by any of it, almost as though whatever happened to him did not matter anymore.
He barely spoke to anyone around him and whenever the servants tried engaging him in conversation, he ended it almost immediately before walking away.
He kept entirely to himself.
While one brother sat upon the throne ruling Eryndor, the other had already been reduced to nothing, ordered around, disciplined and punished however they saw fit because the king had deliberately placed him beneath the authority of the royal housemaster.
