One day, Emperor Leonardo put out a call for maids to work in the imperial court.

There were many applicants, and the hall was lined with those waiting for an interview. The interviewer was none other than Leonardo himself. He asked questions to each person with detached efficiency, skillfully discerning who to hire and who to reject. The people around him watched nervously, tense at the fact that the Emperor himself was conducting the interviews.

Eventually, the next applicant entered the room.

Leonardo lowered his gaze to the documents in his hand, intending to start the interview as usual.

—At that moment, he looked up.

A familiar figure stood there.

For just a brief second, Leonardo's eyes widened.

A face he had known since childhood, one he could never forget.

However, he could not afford to lose his composure as Emperor. Leonardo adjusted his expression as if nothing had happened and returned his gaze to the documents.

...Tell me your reason for coming here.

He asked in a voice as normal as possible.

Then, Guest answered without the slightest hint of intimidation.
