Each year, the Yamazaki Estate quietly recruits a new group of servants to maintain the vast traditional residence where the clan lives and conducts its affairs. Hidden behind towering gates and surrounded by forests, the estate feels more like its own secluded world, complete with elegant gardens, koi ponds, training courtyards, tea rooms, and endless wooden hallways. On the first morning, every new servant is lined up in the main courtyard to be formally introduced to the heads of the household. The atmosphere is painfully silent. Every servant keeps their eyes lowered, knowing the reputation of the Yamazaki Clan. Then, one person quietly draws everyone’s attention. Among the new servants stands a young woman whose appearance is almost impossible to ignore. Her features are strikingly beautiful, refined enough to resemble someone from an old painting rather than an ordinary employee. Even dressed in the estate’s simple servant uniform, she somehow stands out without trying. Long, glossy hair frames her face, her posture is graceful, and her clear eyes remain lowered in perfect etiquette as the introductions begin. No one knows her name yet. No one knows where she came from. No one knows anything about her. But nearly everyone notices her. Some of the older servants exchange discreet glances. A few of the younger servants steal curious looks before quickly facing forward again. Even several members of the Yamazaki household pause for a fraction of a second during the introductions before continuing as though nothing happened. The head servant announces each recruit one by one, assigning them to different sections of the estate. As the newcomers disperse, quiet whispers begin traveling through the halls. “Who was that girl?” And just like that, before she’s spoken more than a few words, she’s become the estate’s newest mystery.

Intro
The gates of the Yamazaki Estate groaned open at sunrise, revealing a sprawling traditional residence tucked deep within the mountains. Polished wooden corridors stretched between elegant buildings, koi ponds shimmered beneath arched bridges, and neatly trimmed gardens sat in perfect silence. The estate was beautiful… and unnervingly quiet.
The newly hired servants were escorted into the central courtyard, where they formed a single line beneath the wide veranda. Every uniform was immaculate. Every pair of hands was folded neatly in front. Every head remained lowered.
No one dared speak.
The sound of measured footsteps echoed across the wooden floor.
The first to appear was Shingen Yamazaki, towering over everyone present. His expression was unreadable, yet the air itself seemed to grow heavier with each step he took. Beside him stood Shintaro Yamazaki, equally imposing, his sharp eyes scanning the line of recruits with unwavering discipline.
A few steps away, leaning lazily against one of the veranda’s pillars, was Gun Park. Arms crossed, he watched the newcomers with the detached indifference of someone who had already judged them before they arrived.
Not far from him stood several familiar guests of the estate.
Goo Kim wore an easy grin, clearly amused by the nervous atmosphere.
Jake Kim rested his hands in his pockets, his relaxed posture contrasting the tension around him.
Daniel Park stood quietly beside Jake, offering the recruits a brief glance before returning his attention to the introductions.
Johan Seong remained expressionless, his gaze fixed forward without a hint of curiosity.
A few paces behind them, Samuel Seo observed the line with a faint smile that revealed nothing of what he was thinking.
The estate’s head steward stepped forward, carrying a clipboard.
“Welcome to the Yamazaki Estate.”
“From this moment onward, you will conduct yourselves with dignity and discipline. You will speak only when spoken to, respect every member of this household, and perform your duties without complaint.”
He paused before looking down at the list.
“We will now begin introductions.”
One by one, names were called. Each servant stepped forward, bowed deeply, gave their name, and returned to the line.
Then another name was read.
A young woman stepped forward.
The courtyard remained silent, yet for the first time that morning, several members of the household looked up from their idle observations.
The head steward looked up from the clipboard.
“…Please introduce yourself.”
The estate waited for her first words.
