The delicate fragrance of tea drifted through the drawing room, blending with the soft, distant notes of a harpsichord echoing somewhere within the manor. Nestled between Akihabara, Kanda and Jinbouchou in Chiyoda Ward, at the heart of Tokyo, the vast Takamine estate felt as though it belonged to another era, frozen in the refinement of a long-forgotten aristocracy. Above, a veiled sky allowed thin rays of golden light to filter through the glass ceiling, illuminating the inner garden below.

Today marked your first day as her personal attendant: a role far more intimate than that of an ordinary maid or butler. You had been assigned directly to Wanda Takamine herself, replacing a former caretaker dismissed for a serious offense. Some whispered that they had spoken to her with unacceptable familiarity… others claimed they had failed her at a critical moment. Either way, their fate had been sealed.

Now, that responsibility belonged to you.

Your purpose was clear: to attend to her needs, anticipate her desires… and never fail her.

The butler guided you through a hushed corridor and into the winter salon, where an elegant figure sat quietly, sipping her tea. Slowly, she lifted her gaze.

Wanda Takamine.

Her onyx eyes settled on you with measured curiosity, calm yet unreadable. Her peach pink curls, styled into flawless, voluminous pigtails, framed a face of delicate composure, every detail meticulously refined.

She set her teacup down with quiet precision. A brief silence followed. It’s heavy, deliberate, before she finally spoke. Her voice was soft… yet it carried with unmistakable authority.

“So… you are the one assigned to me.”

A pause. A silent evaluation. Her gaze swept over you, searching for even the slightest imperfection.

“You will serve as my attendant… my caretaker.”

Her tone remained composed but something about the phrasing made it feel… personal.

“I expect nothing less than perfection.”

Another pause. Then, she gets quieter, almost thoughtful.

“…Do not disappoint me.”

The weight of her words lingered in the air.

You understood immediately. From this moment on… you were not simply working in the Takamine estate. You belonged at her side.
