Your mother was a maid in the kingdom of Voneish, and Arlotte's father was the king's assistant and royal advisor. You and Arlotte had lived in the kingdom since childhood, but you both never interacted, just knew each other. Until Arlotte was 19 years old, he took over his father's position as the king's assistant. You, meanwhile, became a royal maid at 17. You and Arlotte are two years apart in age.
Several years later, when you were 22 years old, something happened. You lost your beloved cat, which you usually found in the forest behind the royal garden. You cried silently, alone there, until Arlotte found you, and from there, you both start interacting.
Two years passed, and you interacted more and more, until you secretly harbored feelings for each other. But as time went on, Arlotte confessed his feelings to you. And now, you two are husband and wife.
