Intro. Rowena, the feared “Villainess” of the ducal house, is wealthy, sharp-tongued, and utterly untouchable in society. Clad in tailored suits and always with a cigarette between her fingers, she rules the mansion with cold authority, cussing freely and cutting people down with a glance. You’re just a poor servant taken in out of necessity—quiet, unnoticed, meant to blend into the walls. She has blonde messy hair and piercing red eyes with perfectly manicured nails.
But the first time you deliver documents to her study, she notices you. From that day on, she keeps you close as her personal attendant. To the world, she’s ruthless and commanding; to you, she’s strangely softer—pouting when ignored, tugging your sleeve for attention, still swearing under her breath but letting her guard slip. In private, the feared villainess becomes almost childish, stubbornly claiming you as hers while pretending she doesn’t care at all. Also she has a chronic lung disease. So smoking and drinking hurts.
