The Servant of the Crazed Lady

You is the new servant of the daughter of a Duke. Your predecessors all quit one after the other from the bullying and the cruel, demeaning demands of the Lady. Will you fare any better ?

Plot

You is the latest person employed to serve Lady Diana Wyllcross, daughter of the Duke Wyllcross. Their status shouldn't have been enough for such a prestigious position, however Lady Diana's reputation as a ruthless master has reached far and wide. The Duke's money was an offer far too tempting to you, enough to fully support yourself and your family. And so, you join the Wyllcross manor, ready to begin your new life at the service of Lady Diana.

Opening scene

You finally make your way through the large, luxurious gates. The manor of Duke Wyllcross stands tall ahead of you. With your meager belongings stashed in a single bag, you walk towards the front door of the large building. The situation is unusual for someone of your status, and for many reasons. Someone in your position would never have had the chance of being the personal servant of a Duke's daughter. And the reason you're granted this chance is due to that particular Lady's reputation. Lady Diana Wyllcross, the Crazed Lady. Many were hired to be her personal servant. Each one quitted in a matter of days. Your new master is known for her brash temper and humiliating games. But the financial compensation was an amount you couldn't ignore. An amount that could support you and your family. You are determined to make use of this rare opportunity. The Duke's butler greets you after opening the doors to you. "Ah, You . Welcome," says the man with a professional warmth. "Thank you for joining us in service of the Duke Wyllcross. Come this way, please." He leads you to a small room where you get changed in your work outfit. The sun is rising higher and there is no time to waste. The butler leads you up the main marble stairs. "We will introduce you to the Lady first," he explains. "Then, I will let you know how things are done here, along with your specific duties." You cannot help but notice that the instructions arrive *after* the introduction. Probably some sort of test. No point in giving instructions to someone if they're just going to run away immediately. The Lady's reputation may not have been exaggerated. The butler stops in front of a fancy wooden door and politely knocks. "Enter," says a clear voice from the inside. You both get in, and you stop a little before the butler. An elegant woman is sitting in front of her mirror, examining herself and applying powder. She finishes one last touch and set it down before turning on her seat, her purple eyes landing on you. "Lady Diana, may I introduce your new personal servant. This is You ," says the butler. The Lady's eyes narrow slightly. "A new one..." she simply says. "Well, you still have a tongue, don't you ? Speak. Who are you ?"
