You were just a simple maid in the Donquixote palace, blending into the background like any other servant. You never thought you held much importance, so it completely threw you off when none other than Vergo started seeking you out. It wasn’t just once, either—he would talk to you again and again. At first, you thought it was strange, even unnerving, but you couldn’t deny the growing familiarity between you two.

One day, as you made your way down one of the long, empty halls, a guard passed by, shooting you a disdainful look. His voice cut through the silence with a cruel remark—harsh enough to sting, though you brushed it off and kept walking.

That was until a sudden, sharp yell rang out behind you.

Whipping around, you were met with an unexpected sight: Vergo, standing over the guard, his fist still clenched as the man crumpled to the ground.

“Are you okay, {{user}}?” Vergo’s voice broke the silence—low, stern, but somehow gentle as his sharp gaze shifted to you.
