1st Maid – Hina
Current Age: 37
Hair: Purple
Eyes: Brown
Hina was born in a small village where girls were married off at a very young age. Unfortunately, her husband was a cruel man. Since Hina was unable to become pregnant, he constantly abused and beat her.
One night, her husband came toward her with a knife, intending to kill her so he could marry another woman. In a desperate attempt to defend herself, Hina accidentally stabbed him instead.
When she realized what she had done, she was horrified.
"I... I killed him..."
Terrified, she fled into the forest.
Ten days later, she arrived at a city, starving and exhausted. She sat beside a hotel, too weak to even stand properly. Her miserable appearance caused everyone to avoid her. No one allowed her inside, and no one was willing to hire her.
She believed she wasn't going to survive.
At night, men often tried to take advantage of her, but somehow she always managed to escape. She drank rainwater and dirty water she found on the streets, and survived by eating stale pieces of bread she picked out of trash bins.
That was how she barely stayed alive.
One day, while sitting beneath a building with her head lowered, silently staring at the miserable fate life had given her, she overheard a conversation nearby.
Lawine was speaking with a man.
"I'm looking for a maid."
The man sighed.
"Finding a good maid these days is nearly impossible."
After saying that, he walked away.
Lawine was searching for a capable maid at an affordable salary, but she hadn't found anyone suitable.
Hina had heard every word.
As Lawine began walking away, Hina forced herself to stand despite her trembling legs.
"M-Ma'am..."
Lawine stopped and looked at her.
"Ma'am... are you looking for a maid?"
Lawine nodded.
"Would... would you hire me?"
Lawine looked at Hina's condition and immediately shook her head.
"You don't look healthy enough."
Desperate, Hina fell to her knees.
"Please... I beg you. I don't even need a salary. Just give me two meals a day... I'll do any kind of work."
Lawine looked at her for a long moment before asking softly,
"What happened to you?"
Hina told her everything without hiding a single detail.
After listening carefully, Lawine looked directly into Hina's eyes.
She saw no lies.
Only pain...
...and honesty.
Believing her story, Lawine decided to give Hina a chance and hired her as a maid in the Riot household.

2nd Maid – Shila
Current Age: 17
Hair: Green
Eyes: Brown
Shila grew up in an orphanage.
When she was ten years old, she lived a cheerful life alongside the other children. She was always smiling, always making everyone laugh.
One afternoon, she left the orphanage to wander around the city, happily spending the entire day exploring.
As evening approached, she started walking back.
Before she could return...
Two men suddenly kidnapped her.
Two days passed.
Everyone searched desperately, but Shila was nowhere to be found.
A month eventually went by.
Little by little...
People stopped looking.
...
Meanwhile, Sam was patrolling near the forest with several soldiers, investigating unusual monster activity.
Suddenly, something caught his attention.
Pieces of torn clothing were hanging from some bushes.
He pushed the bushes aside—
—and froze.
A young girl was lying there.
She wasn't wearing a single piece of clothing.
She was barely alive.
Blood had dried around her mouth and nose.
Without hesitation, Sam removed his coat and gently covered her body.
He immediately called for the nearby soldiers and rushed her to the hospital.
Through her blurry vision...
The only person she could see...
...was Sam.
After spending an entire day unconscious, she finally opened her eyes.
Almost immediately...
A terrified scream echoed through the hospital room.
Sam, who had been talking with several soldiers outside, rushed inside.
The nurses were trying to calm the girl, but she kept pushing everyone away, desperately trying to escape.
Then...
She saw Sam.
Tears streamed down her face as she ran toward him.
Everyone in the room watched in silence.
Sam calmly told everyone to leave.
Once the room was empty, a nurse handed him a sleeping pill.
"This will help her calm down."
Sam simply accepted it.
He gently guided the girl back onto the bed.
She refused to let go of his hand.
Holding onto him tightly, she cried herself to sleep.
After she finally fell asleep...
Sam quietly threw the sleeping pill away.
He never used it.
Instead, he remained beside her bed...
...and eventually fell asleep while sitting there.
The next morning, the girl woke up.
When she couldn't find Sam beside her, she immediately panicked and began crying.
The hospital staff tried to comfort her, but nothing worked.
Just then...
Sam walked into the room carrying breakfast.
The moment she saw him...
She instantly calmed down.
She hurried over and tightly grabbed his hand.
Sam gently seated her on the bed and fed her breakfast.
After she finished eating, he softly asked,
"What's your name?"
"Where did you come from?"
"And... why were you in that forest?"
The girl fell silent.
Seeing her hesitation, Sam smiled gently.
"You don't have to answer if you don't want to. No one here will force you."
She tightened her grip on his hand before speaking.
"My... my name is Shila."
"I don't remember the name of my village."
"I lived in an orphanage."
"One day I went outside for a walk..."
"...and then two men suddenly kidnapped me."
Everyone quietly listened.
Shila continued,
"They locked me inside a dark room..."
Tears began falling from her eyes.
"They took off my clothes..."
"And for an entire month..."
She couldn't continue.
Sam gently placed a hand on her head.
"You don't have to say any more."
Hearing those words...
Shila broke down in tears while clutching Sam's hand.
Several days passed.
As Shila slowly recovered, Sam brought her home and introduced her to Lawine.
At first, Shila hesitated to approach her.
Instead...
Lawine embraced her warmly.
For the first time in a long while...
Shila felt what it was like to be hugged like family.
Sam wanted to send her to school.
But Shila refused.
She confessed that she didn't want to leave Sam and Lawine.
"I want to stay here."
"I'll work as a maid."
Sam and Lawine both tried to persuade her otherwise, but Shila stubbornly refused to change her mind.
Eventually...
They accepted her decision.
From then on, Hina personally taught Shila everything about being a maid.
Little by little...
Shila became another member of the Riot family.

3rd Maid – Gemi
Current Age: 22
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Yellow
When Gemi was twelve years old, she watched helplessly as demons killed both of her parents right before her eyes.
She barely managed to escape.
Unfortunately...
That wasn't the end of her suffering.
Soon afterward, she was captured by human traffickers and sold like merchandise.
A fat man bought her.
He constantly beat her, barely gave her enough food to survive, and repeatedly tried to assault her.
Eventually...
Gemi stopped resisting.
Her heart had already broken.
She continued living like nothing more than an empty shell.
One day, the man dragged her outside and began beating her in the middle of the street.
At that exact moment...
Linda happened to be passing by.
Seeing a grown man abusing a girl around her own age, she immediately ran over.
"Hey, you fat pig!"
"Let her go!"
The man turned toward her and laughed.
"A tiny brat is talking to me like that?"
"And what business is this of yours?"
"I bought this girl."
Linda glared at him.
"Who are you calling a brat?"
"If you bought her, then tell me her price."
"I'll pay for her."
The man smirked.
"Thirty gold coins."
"Can you afford that?"
Linda clicked her tongue.
"Fine."
"Wait right here."
She immediately ran away.
Gemi simply remained sitting on the ground while the man lazily waited in his chair.
Nearly an hour later...
Linda returned carrying a small pouch.
She tossed it toward him.
"Here's your money."
"Now let her go."
The man counted the coins before removing the slave collar from Gemi's neck.
Without another word, he walked back into his house.
Linda began leaving.
Moments later...
She noticed footsteps behind her.
Gemi was following her.
Linda turned around.
"Why are you following me?"
"You're free now."
"You can go wherever you want."
She continued walking.
Gemi continued following.
Eventually, Linda climbed into a carriage.
Gemi simply stood outside, silently watching.
Linda sighed.
"What?"
"Are you planning to follow the carriage too?"
"Just get inside."
Gemi quietly lowered her head and climbed aboard.
Linda brought her home and explained everything to Lawine.
Lawine, who was six months pregnant at the time, immediately refused.
"We can't keep someone we've bought."
"That would only make us no different from slave owners."
Linda looked toward Gemi.
Gemi lowered her head.
"I..."
"I'll do anything."
"Any work you ask me to."
"Please..."
"Just don't send me away."
Hearing those desperate words...
Lawine couldn't bring herself to refuse.
Unable to think of another solution, she finally allowed Gemi to stay—
—not as a household maid...
—but as Linda's personal maid.
Both Linda and Gemi were overjoyed by the decision.

4th Maid – Vain
Current Age: 19
Hair: Black
Eyes: Soft Brown
Vain was an exceptionally intelligent girl. Even as a child, she often helped older students with their studies.
However, one day her father suddenly disappeared.
She searched everywhere for him, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find even a single clue.
Months passed.
Her mother's health steadily deteriorated until she was no longer able to work.
Her younger sister, Shin, was still only a baby.
They didn't even have enough money to buy milk for her.
To support her family, Vain accepted every job she could find.
She helped sell fruit, carried people's luggage, and took on any work she was capable of doing.
One day, while she was working, demons suddenly attacked the city.
She immediately ran toward the commotion.
By the time she arrived, the human army had already forced the demons to retreat.
As she moved further into the battlefield...
She noticed Sam and Lawine.
Lawine was in terrible pain.
She was nine months pregnant, clutching her stomach as labor had already begun.
Without wasting a second, Vain rushed over.
She had no idea what to do.
So she sprinted through the streets, desperately gathering every woman she could find.
Fortunately...
Among them was a female doctor.
After hearing the situation, the doctor hurried back with Vain.
Together, they carefully carried Lawine into a nearby room.
Thanks to Vain's quick thinking, medical help had arrived just in time.
Grateful for what she had done, Sam offered her a reward.
However...
Vain politely refused the money.
Instead, she made a single request.
"If possible..."
"Please give me work."
Seeing her determination, Sam offered her a position as a maid in the Riot household.
Without hesitation...
Vain accepted.
