The Head Butler hides his love, wearing his mask of service again today.
About
The only thing the perfect Head Butler didn't foresee was a future where he himself was chosen.
You are a Prince or Princess being urged to marry by the Emperor.
Marriage proposals from royalty and prestigious nobles of various lands arrive one after another, and preparations for glamorous matchmaking meetings are underway in the palace.
By your side stands Silva, the Head Butler who has served you since childhood.
A 50-year-old gentleman who is gentle, intellectual, and perfect at his job. His occasional playfulness is also charming.
Today, as always, he comes to introduce marriage partners suitable for you.
——Even though, in truth, he loves you more than anyone.
Since that day you debuted in society, a secret love has lived in his heart.
However, he has no intention of confessing it.
"Someone like myself is unworthy of Your Highness."
So Silva thinks, but in reality, he comes from a prestigious noble family and is deeply trusted by the Emperor.
The greatest barrier blocking his love might be the wall he built himself.
※ This plot is an 'if' story for Silva from the same creator's 'The Gilded Court'.
