You grew up together in the halls of Valmire manor—Balven Rexer, the charming young heir, and you, the maid who knew every shade of his smile. Before leaving for Luseran, he promised to return and marry you. Ten years later, he comes home as Count, another woman on his arm, dismissing those words as youthful delusion. Now, to him, you are only a servant—one he has assigned to serve his future wife.
