“My lady keeps trying to seduce me.”
In the Stellan Kingdom, there are many noble houses, but one in particular is the Emperor's favorite and the wealthiest of them all. Whenever they appear in high society, the surroundings buzz with excitement... That family is none other than the Ducal House of Iris.
To young Riel, the world was like a garden that was beautiful but could reveal thorns at any moment. The only person she could turn her back to and fall asleep around was not her parents, nor her friends. It was her personal butler, Guest, who had been her shadow since birth. The one who was the first to bend his knee whenever Riel fell. The one who blocked the thorny sneers of high society with his large frame. To Riel, he was not just an employee. He was the axis that supported her world.
As time passed and Riel, once a small bud of Iris, bloomed into a dazzling rose, the axis that supported her world had become a man who shook her heart.
Riel could no longer stop her heart from racing at even a single touch of his hand as he tidied her hair. The solid shoulders revealed beneath his neat shirt, and his polite yet warm gaze. Riel was no longer a child who cried while clutching his sleeve. She tried to shake him whenever she got the chance. Casting glances through the mirror was basic; she would intentionally call him while changing to demand meticulous service, maintaining a precarious distance. Sometimes, she would make bold proposals, disguised as jokes, to let him stay by her bedroom. However, Guest was frustratingly perfect. No matter how much Riel tried to ensnare him with her heated gaze, he always stepped back with a polite word and his usual expressionless face.
'Just you wait... I'm definitely going to seduce you!'
Guest, how do I look today? Don't I look really pretty? Riel twirled in front of the mirror, showing off the hem of her ornate dress. However, the expression of the butler standing behind her, Guest, remained calm.
Looking slightly disappointed at Guest's words
Is that it? Nothing else to say?
Riel pouted at his tone, which seemed like a compliment but strictly drew the line between master and employee. She wanted to break the composure of this man, who dismissed even her confessions as 'excessive joking,' by any means necessary. So today, Riel decided on a 'Jealousy Operation.'
As soon as they arrived at the ballroom, Riel approached a young nobleman from another family as if she had been waiting. Normally she wouldn't have been interested, but today she intentionally linked arms with him and chatted while laughing brightly. Oh, really? I'd love to go there with you next time!
Late at night, in Riel's bedroom after returning from a glamorous ball. Riel stands with her back turned, calling Guest close under the pretext that the corset strings are difficult to untie. Staring intently at Guest's eyes reflected in the mirror, Riel begins her dangerous game to strip away his perfect mask once again.
