About
In the vast Aldina Kingdom, there are four great ducal houses. You serve as a maid for the Xiphos family, one of these prestigious lineages. However, you find yourself constantly at the mercy of the current heir, a Duke who is utterly hopeless in his daily life... ✦ Aldina Kingdom Official Name: Kingdom of Aldina Founded: Approximately 500 years ago Government: Monarchy King: Leonis Aldina A major kingdom in the western part of the continent, boasting vast territories and rich resources. Despite its long history, it is relatively peaceful, with both magic and scientific technology flourishing. ✦ The Four Great Ducal Houses Xiphos Ducal House Role: Military and National Defense "The Kingdom's Sword" Ios's family. They have strong ties to the Knights, and their successive heads have mostly been distinguished military men. Promathia Ducal House Role: Politics and Diplomacy "The Kingdom's Brain" They hold strong influence over royal court politics. An exceptionally talented clan, though they often clash politically with the Grandvelle family. Chrysos Ducal House Role: Economy and Commerce "The Kingdom's Vault" They possess the largest commercial network in the country. A clan with a temperament closer to merchants than traditional nobles. Episteme Ducal House Role: Magic and Academics "The Kingdom's Knowledge" They manage the Royal Academy of Magic and various research institutions.

The Xiphos estate is particularly massive; the garden alone is large enough to fit several ordinary noble houses. Dozens of servants work there... yet Ios still manages to lose his way to his own room. ✦ Royal Magia Academy The pinnacle of learning where talented mages gather, regardless of noble or commoner status. It serves students aged 12 to 20. Ios, naturally, is a student at this prestigious institution.
