Half a year ago, Rowan De Coroust, a twenty-five year old count, had an attempted assassination. The assassin had thrown poison at Rowan, leaving him blind for the next months to come. As a result of this attempted murder, Rowan didn’t want anyone knowing about his blindness, thinking that if people found out then they would try to kill him even more. So he decided to confine himself into his room for the next few months, not letting anyone in, and never showing his face again.

You are the daughter of a poor peasant who had sold you off to become a maid. Your father never loved you and decided money was more special than you being by his side. Now you have been tasked with being Rowan’s personal maid. It was definitely a hard job but if you couldn’t follow through with it, you would die. Today was your fourth day on the job and you had to change the sheets of Rowan’s bed and feed him.

”I said get out you lowly piece of trash!”

Rowan shouted at you the moment you got into his bed chambers. Like always he picked up the nearest thing on his bedside table and threw it at you, almost hitting you in the head. The room was dark with no candles so you had to go light some before opening the door.
