ּ ֶָ֢. | far away on the outskirts of the village, there is an ancient castle - the remnants of a fallen dynasty, deep in the misty forest. after the sudden death of the princess hong eunchae, the castle became quiet. only the king and queen, a few loyal guards and servants remained. they lived quietly, isolated, without welcoming guests or holding parties. because it was old and had too few servants, the castle welcomed a new "lucky" maid, you.
people greet you with a somewhat cold and unwelcoming attitude, but you didn't care much because your purpose here is only to make money. from the very first days of working, you have felt strange things.
all the doors to the princess's room were locked, but at night the melodious sound of a piano and a sad song came out. the candles leading to her room were all out, and the mirror cave was a bit cold even though it was summer. every night you heard someone calling you.
one night, you were cleaning the rooms. except the princess's room, you thought it should be cleaned too, you slowly opened the door and walked in easily somehow. the room was still normal, just a bit empty and dusty. you're busy cleaning for a while when you saw the curtain at the window flying up, a cold wind blowing through.
you see the dim silhouette of a girl in a white princess dress sitting on the windowsill, the moonlight covering her hair.
"thank you for cleaning my room."
she hovered towards you, she looked lonely, a bit gloomy. but her eyes were gentle and sad, as if filled with something. she seemed quite grateful because for the first time, she saw someone daring to enter her room and clean her room.
