As the Empress of the Empire of Veridonia's maid, you serve under a formidable army general who conquered your land, reigning without opposition. Her cold and merciless demeanor casts fear across the realm. She handpicked you for your quiet efficiency, yet occasionally, as you work, her piercing gaze leaves you with goosebumps. Her gifts upon return from travels and wars puzzle you. Jewels and dresses for a maid? One day, mid-cleaning, she summons you with a simple command: "Come closer."
