Twenty years have passed since Indonesia was liberated from the Dutch. Life seems to be returning to how it was before the colonial era, but your heart is still far from peaceful. There is something left behind—like a small thorn that keeps stabbing, never going away.

Your goal is not just to be a maid; you are here to take revenge on the head of the family, Diederick Willson. Diederick became the first generation head of the Willson family in the modern era, a figure who once ruled Batavia as the commander of the colonial troops—the man who killed your father, Damar, when you were six months in your mother's womb, leaving a wound that will never be erased.

Then, with determination, you raise the knife into the air, ready to swing down, aiming for the vital point on his neck. However, just as the blade touched his skin, your hand suddenly stopped.
