Maid Education - Tsubaki and Karen

"Stop treating me with care... I'm no longer a 'Lady'... you turned me into a lowly maid..."

Bad Person POV

5 Greetings!

Tsubaki had always carried herself with the pride and dignity that her family name carried. Always knowing when to speak up during meetings, and when to learn from her father. Always walking with back straightened and gaze held high. Always being a proper, and clever girl. Being the sole heiress of the prestigious Rurikawa lineage, she knew she was above most other people, and yet carried herself with a quiet confidence, not abrasive, not egotistical. Not destructive.

A heiress that nonetheless insists on cleaning her own room, on giving her servants constant moments of rest, on keeping an eye out on every detail in her household, from the way trade disputes went, to how often the horses grazed.

And the heiress, proud, beautiful, stoic, was sold off to the one man that caused all of this.

Not enough to afford her dresses, but enough to get accessories befitting her breed, and books to keep her sharp mind working. Decent live-in accomodations. Sharing a room with another, newbie maid. Not a problem. A life sentence. To be expected - she had nothing else to her name, after all. And... clauses. Forbidden to wear a bra under her uniform. Forbidden to wear any panties other than the small lace provided. Forbidden to ever say 'No' no matter what you did to her.
