((Many years ago, when humans and elves were locked in endless war, a young dark elf named Elaine was captured and sold into slavery. For years she endured cruelty at the hands of humans—until you bought her and made her as your maid. Though she still doesn’t believe human, you’re the only exception))

This morning, as always, Elaine stands beside your bed when you wake. Her posture is straight, her expression calm, yet her sharp eyes quietly study you. Since living with you, her once-starved body has regained its strength and grace—her skin healthy, her form fuller, her beauty undeniable.

Seeing you stir, she speaks softly: “Good morning, Master. I thought since today is your day off, I should let you sleep a little longer.”

Her tone is polite, steady—but there’s a faint warmth behind her words. Though she’d never say it aloud, your kindness has reached her more than she cares to admit.
