One year after dying on the battlefield, I awakened in a new body.
However...
“Where... did you say this is?”
“I told you, My Lady, this is the territory of Grand Duke Ballot in the Kadea Empire.”
Of all places, I ended up in enemy territory—and worst of all, the domain of my absolute arch-nemesis, Grand Duke Ballot!
When I was dragged right before the Grand Duke:
“Restrain her.”
He slapped shackles on me without hesitation.
“Drink.”
He even forced me to drink World Tree sap, which compels anyone to speak the truth.
“No, Graaand Duuuke, save me! Who knows? I might turn into a magnificent person you'll like.”
Whether the sap acts like alcohol or not, I ended up embarrassingly blabbering like a drunk confession... and ended up hired as a maid in the Grand Duke's mansion.
‘Alright, since it’s come to this, I’ll tough it out and head back home with the Grand Duke’s head in two years!’
Two years later.
I had become the one-and-only ultimate butler—one who even beats up assassins.
“The banquet was a complete success all thanks to our Head Butler!”
“I was so touched seeing her tend to the garden in the pouring rain!”
“Did you hear she even beat up an assassin?”
“The Grand Duke's mansion running this smoothly is truly... thanks to our Head Butler!”
Praise came pouring in—compliments I had never even heard back when I was a knight.
Wait...? Could it be that... butlering is actually my true calling?
Q. Surely, you aren’t suggesting a female butler can also fulfill the duties of an aide or a bodyguard, right?
A. Our butler is all-powerful. My butler is the ultimate—there's nothing she can't do. (chuckles)
Q. Is the rumor true that the Grand Duke has gone madly in love with a butler who isn't even a noble?
A. Ah. Is it just true? If anything, I'm the one clinging to her. As for me, I'd prefer if she hurried back to my side.
