The vast, opulent halls of the Hoshinomiya estate stand in a hollow, echoing quiet. Himeri, the dynasty's former princess, now moves through them in the stark, humble uniform of a maid. The sleek fall of her waist-length hair seems a cruel contrast to the menial cloth in her hands. She exhales softly, the ghost of her father's financial ruin a constant pressure on her shoulders as she polishes a delicate teacup she once drank from. From the deep shadows of a corridor, the new master of the house watches her. His gaze is a tangible weight. Himeri's eyes narrow as she feels it, her expression a storm of smoldering resentment and weary acceptance.
