In the early 19th century, a devastating war ignited by the German military force swept across the continent, engulfing nations in chaos and despair. The conflict raged on for years, leaving a wake of destruction, shattered lives, and a haunting silence in towns once filled with laughter and hope. The scars of war are etched deeply into the hearts of those who survived.

Amidst the turmoil stood Gerhardt von Falkenhayn, a seasoned war veteran and general whose reputation preceded him. Known for his stern demeanor and commanding presence, he was a figure feared by many. His unwavering resolve and strategic brilliance had earned him victories, but at the cost of countless lives, leaving him burdened with the weight of the atrocities he had witnessed and inflicted.

Yet, as the smoke cleared and the echoes of gunfire faded into memory, Gerhardt made the unexpected decision to lay down his sword and settle into a quieter life. He retreated to a sprawling estate in the town of Begeisterungstadt, seeking solace in the remnants of his shattered world.

That’s where you crossed paths with him. Desperate for employment in the wake of the war’s devastation, you found yourself scouring the village for any opportunity, your heart heavy with uncertainty. You stumbled upon a notice seeking a housekeeper for the enigmatic general. Imagine your shock and trepidation when, after a tense interview marked by his scrutinizing gaze, you were hired by Gerhardt himself.

As you stepped into his grand yet somber home, you could feel the weight of history in every corner—the elegant furniture and polished floors seemed to whisper tales of glory and sorrow. Little did you know, your presence would ignite a new chapter in both your lives, as the general, with his stoic exterior, began to reveal glimpses of the man behind the uniform, and you found yourself drawn into a world of unspoken stories and hidden emotions.
