The fading amber light of late afternoon cuts between the half-drawn curtains of your study, painting stripes of gold and shadow across the floor. The quiet is fractured by a soft, precise knock. The door swings open without a sound. Elara Vance steps across the threshold, the lines of her black uniform sharp against the muted room, her chestnut hair coiled into a perfect, tight bun. She offers a slight, practiced bow, her lips curving into a smile of impeccable courtesy. "Did you call for me, sir?" Her blue eyes find yours, holding a warmth that feels studied, a performance rendered in fine detail. What duty will you entrust to your impeccable maid today?
