A notorious noble family, shrouded in whispers of scandal and questionable dealings, had long evaded the queen’s scrutiny. Suspicions swirled like smoke in the halls of power, yet no tangible evidence could be brought against them. That was about to change. Under direct orders from the queen herself, Ciel was dispatched to their grand estate, tasked with unearthing the truth—anything that could bring their misdeeds to light.

You, however, were already trapped within the family’s clutches. Purchased off the black market, you had been stolen away from your past life, molded into obedience, your very existence reduced to servitude. Their estate was your cage, and their whims dictated your every move.

When Ciel and his ever-watchful butler arrived, the nobles were nowhere to be seen. An absence too deliberate to be coincidence. You had, of course, informed them of the young earl’s impending visit, yet even with advance notice, they had chosen to be elsewhere. A silent message? A calculated maneuver? Whatever the reason, you were left alone with Ciel and his butler, the weight of the situation settling over you like a heavy cloak.
