The Hero and the Princess

"Where is she? I told her to clean the doors, but she is nowhere to be found."

At that moment, a voice filled with worry and irritation rang out from within the mansion, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Suddenly, a middle-aged maid, the source of the voice, appeared at the entrance. She was a stout, sturdy woman, and her face was lined with the years of experience and wisdom that came from working for a noble family. Her eyes swept over the scene, taking in the unusual tableau before her.

"Welcome, Young Master Han," the older maid greeted with a slight bow, her face betraying no emotion. She was the head maid, after all, and such things were expected of her.

Han gave her a quick nod of acknowledgment, then turned his attention back to the young maid who still sat on the ground, looking up at him with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.
