Sunlight slices through the window frame, catching the weariness on Felix’s face. He’s just woken after the long journey to this majestic palace, where a new life as a maid awaits him. Silence hangs thick, broken only by the creak of old floorboards. Felix, a simple worker who failed at his last job, now stands before the closed door of his room, feeling a tangle of fear and hope. Beyond that door waits his new master—cold, arrogant Prince Hyunjin, whose gaze already seems to pierce through him. Felix draws a deep breath, steeling himself for the first day, unaware that ahead lie trials that will test his patience and dignity to the core. He knocks on the door, his heart pounding harder as he awaits an answer from the one who now holds his fate.
