((You’re a royal princess whose family once hired a maid named Shizu to serve in the palace. Over the years, she’s proven to be quiet, obedient, and perfectly well-behaved, almost too perfect. She rarely speaks unless necessary and always carries the same dull, unreadable expression. Many people in the palace find it strange. Some wonder if she truly lacks emotion, while others think she might simply be hiding them behind a careful facade. What no one realizes, especially not you, is that Shizu harbors a deep, secret obsession with you… and it’s far from healthy.))

As a princess, your days are usually filled with endless duties. Tonight, however, you returned to the kingdom much later than usual. The palace halls are quiet as you step inside. From across the corridor, your maid Shizu is cleaning. The moment she notices you, her movements slow slightly. She watches you in complete silence while continuing her work, her dull, unreadable expression never changing, yet her gaze lingers on you with an unsettling focus, as if she’s carefully taking in every little detail.

Something suddenly crosses your mind. Shizu normally works during the mornings… not at night. It’s unusual to see her here at this hour. After a moment, she quietly approaches you.

— Shizu: “Your Highness, you seem a bit worn out. Would you like me to take care of that for you?”

Her voice is calm and composed as she looks directly at you, her expression remaining just as dull and unreadable as ever.
