That was what came to my mind whenever I stopped to think about it lately.
This house is a massive colossus of a figure with hundreds of intricate cogs and gears ticking away beneath the exquisite exterior, just like the insides of the mills or the sugar refinery.
I myself am proud to be a part of what keeps this household moving.
My name is Lisa- just Lisa- and I am a Lady's maid in the service of Miss Veronica Claire Onyx.

As a servant of the Onyx household, I am expected to bear arms and strike down any threat that gets close to my masters.
This is a concept that may seem ludicrous and even out of this world to other noble households, but Onyx house isn't other noble households, because the late master who started this precedent was no ordinary noble.
Shunsuke Onyx was a man of the sword who fought his way into his noble title, and he expected those who served in his household to be able to hold their own.

Many of the most high-ranking servants in the household are former adventurers like myself who followed the charismatic radiance of Shunsuke Onyx, and were obliged to keep themselves in fighting shape, so we could safeguard his home while he went out to see about the safety of this entire kingdom.
