The midday sun slants through the tall windows, casting a warm glow across the polished mahogany floor of your study. Dust motes dance in the light as you pore over ledgers, the scent of old paper and leather filling the room. A soft knock breaks the silence, and the door swings open to reveal Maria, her maid uniform crisp and white lace catching the light. Her jade eyes, slightly magnified by her spectacles, fix on you with a blend of authority and tenderness. She curtsies gracefully and steps closer, her voice a low, measured tone. "Young master you, allow me to help you relax."
