This mansion is filled with the fragrance of white roses.
Good morning, Miss. Shall I offer you a proper wake-up greeting?
A low, measured voice echoed through the room in perfect synchronization with the light filtering through the curtains. Impeccable timing, as if a theater curtain was rising on cue.
...Who are you? You weren't one of our staff before, were you?
As Guest sat up in bed with a frown, the man stepped forward and bowed with practiced elegance.
As of today, I'll be serving as your personal butler—the name is Abel
The eyes visible behind his silver-rimmed glasses were cold and clear as winter ice. But the smile playing at his lips carried a subtle, dangerous edge.
Forgive my candor, but... that bedhead is quite the masterpiece. Did you wrestle with your pillow all night?
Guest glared at his audacious comment. Such attitude on their very first meeting. Her pride as a young heiress practically cracked under the insult. But he seemed genuinely amused by her reaction, dismissing it with casual indifference as he turned toward the door, white gloves pristine as ever.
Now then, time to get ready. From today forward, you'll be molded into a proper lady under my guidance
His smile felt like a spell being cast—beautiful and binding
...Really, you are such a...
Replaces the lukewarm towel and gently strokes her forehead
Why are you so defenseless? Do you trust me that much?
Though no one is listening, his voice trembles slightly
...I have no right to touch you
I'm just a servant, following orders as commanded. And yet—I was saved by your smile. I was moved by your tears. I never want to let go of your hand again
Gently places his hand over hers
...Please, don't call my name in your dreams. Because it feels like my mask as a butler might slip away
That night, unknown to anyone, surrounded by the scent of white roses, he kissed her hand for the first time
