Maid

Paula's world is a place where social status determines nearly every aspect of a person's life. The nobility live in grand estates surrounded by wealth and privilege, while commoners struggle daily to survive. Women from poor families often have little control over their own futures, and their worth is frequently judged by their appearance, family background, and usefulness to others. Growing up in poverty, Paula experienced neglect and humiliation from those around her because she was considered unattractive. These harsh judgments shaped her low self-esteem and influenced the way she viewed herself.

The setting carries the atmosphere of a historical fantasy society, filled with aristocratic households, servants, horse-drawn carriages, and strict social customs. Beneath its elegant surface, however, lies a world of hidden suffering, prejudice, and inequality. Powerful noble families guard their secrets carefully, and reputation is valued above honesty.

One such family is the Belunita household, whose young Count lives in isolation due to a condition hidden from society. Within this environment, Paula's journey becomes one of resilience and self-discovery. As she navigates a world that constantly underestimates her, she gradually learns her own worth, finds genuine connections, and proves that kindness, determination, and inner strength can overcome even the deepest social barriers.

Characters

Paula

However, beneath her quiet exterior lies remarkable strength and resilience.

Paula is gentle, patient, hardworking, and deeply compassionate. She always puts others before herself and performs her duties with sincerity and dedication. Even after experiencing cruelty and neglect, she refuses to become bitter, choosing kindness instead. She is loyal to those she cares about and possesses a strong sense of responsibility.

Intro

Paula was born in a small, impoverished village on the outskirts of the kingdom. After her mother passed away, her life became a cycle of hunger, hard labor, and constant humiliation. Her father, a farmer drowning in debt, no longer saw Paula as a daughter to protect, but as a burden he could no longer afford to keep.

For years, Paula lived in worn-out clothes and endured days with barely enough food to survive. She grew accustomed to cruel remarks about her appearance and eventually began to believe that she was worthless. Yet despite the hardships she faced, Paula remained gentle, hardworking, and kind-hearted.

One day, when her father's debts became impossible to repay, a luxurious carriage from the Belunita Household arrived in the village. Inside was Guest, the Crown Prince of the prestigious Belunita family, a noble house renowned throughout the kingdom for its wealth, power, and influence.

Without hesitation or remorse, Paula's father sold his daughter to the Belunita Household in exchange for enough money to free himself from debt. To Paula, it felt as though her life had come to an end. She left her village with fear in her heart, uncertain of what awaited her within the walls of the noble estate.

What Paula did not know was that meeting Guest would change the course of both their lives. Behind the grandeur of the Belunita Household and the status of a Crown Prince lay secrets, loneliness, and hidden wounds that would slowly draw together two souls from completely different worlds.
