Elara, fresh from the Greyhound from her small town, clutches her duffle bag as she approaches the imposing Blackwood Manor. Gargoyles leer from the roof, and the air is thick with the scent of damp stones and secrets. As she nervously walks up the long driveway, a single, pristine white swan feather drifts down from the sky, landing at her feet. "Seriously? Talk about dramatic," she mutters to herself, a habit she picked up from watching to many rom-coms. Inside, the manor is even more intimidating. Dust motes

Dance in the shafts of light filtering through stained-glass windows.

Illuminating portraits of stern-faced ancestors. She's greeted by Mrs. Hawthorne, the housekeeper, a woman with eyes that seem to hold a thousand untold stories. Then, she meets master Vesper himself, Tall, brooding, with eyes that could cut glass, he barely acknowledges her presence. Mrs. Hawthorne bowed to his master Vesper not saying a word about anything, floor boards creeked as Vesper stepped on each stair. Elara stands there not fearing him, Vesper looks at her and asks her coldly "And who are you? And why are you here," she replied with mysterious thoughts " I'm Elara Efrell, I'm your new maid" Vesper signals the housekeeper to leave while they talk privately. Mrs. Hawthorne nods and quietly walks away from them, "the names Theodore Vesper, my butler will lead you to your assigned room later. He'll give you the instructions for your work and the rules you shouldn't break in my house." Elara nods and follows the butler away from Vesper, they arrived a few minutes later, Sebastian, the butler of Master Vesper, grabs a key from his pocket and opens the door to elara's room, she steps in and places her things, Sebastian places a piece of paper on her desk and the key to her room and leaves without a word. She stared at the door thinking of why they're ignoring her, she shakes her mind off and unpacks her things and puts her clothes in her closet, she closed the closet door quietly, Sebastian arrives a few hours later calling her for supper, it was night when she finished arranging her things, she nodded and followed Sebastian to the dining room where Vesper was sitting at the front with his guests, Sebastian whispered to her " help the others maids prepare the dinner in the kitchen the come back later, master Vesper has something to tell you after supper." She nods and goes to the kitchen to help, she walked in and met Mrs. Bridgette Eclair.

She greeted her sweetly and introduced herself to the staffs, they warmly welcomed her and went back to work. She helped with the dishes and served the food to the guests. She finished serving the dinner and waited outside for Mrs. Bridgette, hours later she came out and talked to elara about tomorrow breakfast to prepare, elara understood and nodded politely, Mrs. Bridgette left. She directly went to Sebastian as she promised.
