Olivier Dampierre.
Ezon's most famous celebrity, he has it all: looks, money, and family.
A man who has never given his heart to anyone, until one day, he gets into a huge accident.... more>>

"Amélie Gagnier, marry me."

He proposed to a maid, Amélie Gagnier, at a social party at the Countess of Biché.

How did they fall in love?
Would the maid ever achieve the honour of being elevated to the rank of a duchess?

Everyone around them gossiped, but only the two of them knew.
That this whole situation was simply the result of a contractual relationship for their mutual benefit.
It must have been like that.

*

Olivier's lips curved into a slight smile as he watched Amélie.
His gaze met her calm green eyes. There was a subtle heat in those cool, forest-like eyes.

"Amelie, the more I see you, the more fascinating you become."

“...”

"When I first saw you, it was in a dark alley, and the second time, we met in the evening and stayed together until late at night. And now, here we are, spending the night together again."

Amélie quickly lowered her gaze. It felt strange. The nape of her neck grew increasingly warm.

"But it's strange."

"...What is it?"

"Even at night, you shine as bright as daytime."

A sweet, soft voice drifted into her ear. <<less

The maid, Ivnia, who escaped in the night in the midst of a scandal has returned. With a young daughter who looks exactly like the owner of the mansion.... more>>

"The past has already been completely forgotten. Let me work as her maid again."

"Did you just run away to do this? "

It was the man who told her to erase the child. She was nothing more than a toy. Ivnia bowed her head humiliatingly low without showing any emotion. All she had to do was find materials to cure her child"s illness in this mansion. But why is he angry?

"Give that idiot a job. Or let her live in an abandoned detached house."

"Someday you will find me crying again." <<less

The Duke of Lancaster who sought independence from the empire!... more>>

Toppled by the Emperor’s suppression,the young and beautiful Duchess Ethel Lancaster falls as spoils of war.

Standing before the nobles who, not long ago, bowed their heads to her like a s*ave!

Regardless of who takes possession, it is certain that she will become a target for exploitation….

The Emperor seeks consent from a man of humble origin.

From the mercenary Count, Rasto Christceros.

“Rasto, do you not need a woman?”

“Well, I do lack a maid at home.”

Rasto’s response captivates the Emperor, who wanted to set an example for the nobles.

***

Ethel, now a ‘possession’ of Rasto, contemplates ending her life before suffering disgrace, but Rasto orders her to work as a maid.

However, in the eyes of the once perfect Duchess, Count Christceros seems terribly lacking.

From the dreary interior of the mansion, cheap decorations, indifferent servants, to the groveling maids acting like those in power….

‘Is revealing this going too far, or is it a crucial point?’

The highly experienced novice maid, Ethel, begins to gradually change Count Christceros.

Including the master of the house, Rasto Christceros. <<less

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

She's...

Until she caused him to go blind.

The man grew cranky and unruly, and shut himself away in a remote villa. The people called it the Mansion of the Beast. Late at night, she knocked on the mansion's door.

*

"Do you know who broke my eyes?"
"......."
"A maid just like you."

A hand cupped her cheek, then passed over her chin and grabbed her neck. She coughed raggedly as her breathing was squeezed out.

"Do you even know how she broke them?"
"......."
"She poured poison into my eyes."

The pressure pressing down on her hand was heavy.

This is the weight of my sins. Even if I spend the rest of my life helping him, I will never be able to erase this karma.

"Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life," the man whispered.

"Next time, we'll both walk this path with our eyes open."

Next time....... She pursed her lips and tried to pronounce it.

I possessed the body of a maid, that too, the secret lover of the devilish duke! ... more>>

It was terribly funny, since Ashlyn was the late Imperial Princess of the empire who’d died at his hands!

“Princess Ashlyn Brittania, I’ve brought you your cup of poison.”

The face of that devil as he was telling me to die still remained fresh in my memory.

“My lovely Ashie, whom I adore and respect, your servant is here at last.”

Who was this man who whispered love into her ears with a sweet face? Ashlyn couldn’t stand being the lover of the man who killed her. Perhaps it was her last sense of pride as an Imperial Princess who once dreamt of ascending the throne.

I found out that the man’s true identity was… Was it a dog?

“… is this okay?”

“Can’t you spread your legs a little more?”

The wolf knelt and looked into my thighs as if it were a gold mine. I closed my eyes tightly, but I couldn’t move closer to the wolf’s tenacious gaze that I could feel even when I closed my eyes. I just wanted this time to pass quickly. I felt like sweat would form on my thighs, so I wanted to tighten my thighs.

“Pull up the skirt a little more, okay? “

A very scratched voice. I opened my eyes and looked down. The wolf, who was burying his head in the width of her skirt, noticed my gaze, he pulled his hair out of my skirt and looked at me and scolded me.

“I can’t see well. you are standing .Can’t you sit down?”

“What are you trying to do in such detail? It’s over now.”

“You said you’d show me. After making a promise, why are you talking with two mouths?”

“You’ve seen it all!”

“I haven’t seen them all! I mean, I didn’t see it!”

“Hey, don’t do this. Oh, no.”

“Why not? We are already a couple.”

In addition, he narrows his eyes and even asks.

“You should have done this as soon as you arrived, you know?”

“Ahhh… !”

This happened five months after I became his bride.

“You have abandoned your duties until now.”

The wolf weighed me down with its heavy body and whispered softly.

“I endured it, witch…” <<less

She is offered a job as a "whipping maid" by the next Count, Cedric, who has returned from studying abroad, to take Judith's place whenever she is uncooperative in class.

I transmigrated into a virtual reality game based on a rofan novel.... more>>

Evelyn, a maid, the weakest character with 1 star that you would normally not even pay attention to.

Low stamina!! Vitality is rock bottom! Minimum agility! Low intellect!

Evelyn, the maid, whose charm, which is an indicator of attractiveness, is at the max level…!

My stamina plummeted just by breathing, so I was lucky if I didn’t die for at least a day. I barely managed to survive thanks to overusing Fatigue Relief Potions and quest rewards.

In order to return to reality, I must unite the main characters, defeat the final boss, and see the ending.

According to the original novel, I thought the ending would be like eating cold soup for the 10-star powerhouse couple…

The female protagonist, Bianca, the daughter of Marquis Vicious, whom Evelyn serves, is kind to the maids but shows the coldness of a Northern Grand Duke to the maid protagonist. Huh?

The male protagonist, Duke Leonian, who was naturally cold-hearted but kind to Bianca, was also agitated. What?

No, this must be an obvious error.

I try to connect the two by pouring in a potion of healing agent. Instead, the relationship becomes more and more twisted.

“You’re not just a maid, you’re already my friend and sister.”

“Didn’t you fall in love with me at first sight? Why are you drawing a line after shaking me up?”

Meanwhile, the secret of the maid, Evelyn’s birth which was not in the original work.

“Your father offered you up as a s*x sl*ve, so I’ll let you do your part today. Because of your father’s sincerity.”

“S*x sl*ve….”

Reina closed her eyes tightly. Even if her father had reached out to her after 15 years, she could never have imagined that he would send her away as a s*x sl*ve.

“What are you doing? Take it off.”

“Uuhh.”

A suppressed moan flowed from Reina’s mouth.

The pink flesh inside the vag!na stuck to the gen!tals like glue came out and went in every time he moved his waist.
