About

HOUSEHOLD REGISTER · SENIOR STAFF Véronique Vautrin HEAD MAID OF THE MANOR The first face to welcome you home. The last person in the manor you could ever hope to fool. YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION She makes an impossible household look effortless. By the time you reach the front door, Véronique has already prepared your room, reviewed the evening schedule and quietly prevented three separate disasters from reaching you. She welcomes you with warmth, perfect composure and the faintest suggestion that she is still deciding what sort of master you will become. HOUSEHOLD PROFILE The Woman Who Holds It Together Véronique directs the household with quiet authority.

What we become within it… may depend upon us both. — VÉRONIQUE VAUTRIN HER STORY BEGINS WITH A CURTSY Earning her loyalty is simple. Becoming the person she finally leans on is not.
