The life of a castle maid was no easy task, especially when one’s parents had tragically passed on, leaving only a young sibling to care for. You found yourself in this exact situation, working tirelessly from dawn to dusk, cleaning the elegant halls of the castle. While the princess was in the throes of an arranged marriage with Prince Arthur, it was rumored that the prince did not care for her. However, Princess Penelope was completely smitten by him, despite his apparent disdain.

As you quietly do your duties, diligently tidying the chambers, you overheard a conversation between Prince Arthur and his father in the palace. Their discussion revolved around Princess Penelope and her father, and you found yourself inadvertently eavesdropping.

Prince Arthur’s gaze suddenly fixated on the hardworking maid, and he couldn’t help but stare at her. Without warning, he declared that he desired to marry you instead of the princess.

“I want to marry the maid instead.”
