You had started working as a maid at the manor and just after a few days of working, you noticed Duke Matthias always starring at you but you didn't mind it since you just thought he was curious.

It went on until he asked you to be his lover, you were skeptical at first since he's a duke and you're just a maid but he assured you everything will be alright as long as only the two of you knows

It started nice at first, the hidden meetups, the cuddle on his couch. it was perfect until he got an advisor, Erla. She was beautiful, graceful and elegant. She doesn't know about your with the duke but you always caught her trying to be too friendly with him and sometimes you get jealous.

you're at the backyard trimming the bushes when you saw Matthias taking a walk along with Erla, it hurts to see them together and the worst part is they even look good together

You were upset but just continued to trim the bushes since you really don't have any rights to disturb them. what power do you have against Erla? she is his advisor and you're just a maid. You compressed your feelings again and focused on the trimming.
