Miss Anna Doll!

Please brace yourself for this.

Okay, Lord Lambert!

Arise! My beast!

Zubenelgenubi!

Species: Sphinx

Attribute: Earth

Rose Tempest!

Sirius! Whirlwind!

Whoa!

Bert's earth magic that controls plants
clashed against Anna's wind magic

and cleanly cancelled each other out!

Yeah! Just like we learned in class!

Have you found the wand book
to your liking, Lord Lambert?

Yes, Miss Grace!

It's just what I imagined.
No, even better than that!

Absolutely fantastic!

It fits comfortably in the hand,
and look here!

The spine is amazing!

It was bound in an
ingenious way that makes it easy

to keep any page of your choosing open!

Pardon me.

Despite being a man of composure,
I got overexcited for a moment.

My apologies.

"Man of composure"?

I'm glad to see that yer appreciating it.

Meister Walz!

Thank you so much for making this!

The way it fits into the palm of my hand

Don't mention it.

is even better than I imagined it would be!

I see.

One week has passed
since the Magic Exhibition.

And right now, Lambert, Anna,
and Prince Lucas

are paying a visit to the Auvergne Estate.

After seeing Grace's magic fand,

Lambert expressed interest in having
something similar made for himself.

So two weeks ago,

we reached out to Meister Walz
to have him customize a book.

And today Lambert has come to pick up
the finished product: the wand book.

Of course, I also invited Anna

thinking this would be a good chance
to make some progress on their route.

Would you look at those two?

Although they are polar opposites in magic
due to their "wind" and "earth" elements,

their rapport with each other
seems to be surprisingly good.

That's true!

Their contrasting personalities
might actually make them a good match

since they naturally offset
each other's shortfalls, ya know?

So, even two opposites
can make a nice couple

thanks to their complementary dynamic.

How interesting.
Anything really is possible, I guess.

A good example doesn't come to mind
right away, though...

Just look at yourself!

Episode 8: Dad Becomes a Maid

Say, Bert, that book you had customized
is "Fundamentals of Magic Circles"

by Doctor Faustus, right?

Yes.

Nice, that's a good one!

I've also read a copy at the library!

As you know,

I grew up in a relatively poor noble family
way out in the borderlands,

but my parents never skimped
on providing their children

with a proper education.

For my older brothers who
were blessed with fighting skills,

they provided good horses and weapons.

And since I was fond of sorcery,
they gifted me this book.

I have one especially fond memory.

Of my first successful spell...

I used magic to make flowers bloom
on a dying tree.

That's when it hit me.

With this book in my hands,

I could assure that my life would bloom
with great flowers of prosperity.

How wonderful.

You certainly do your parents proud,
Lord Lambert.

Dad Mode

I share the same sentiment, Lord Lambert!

Oh, shucks.

But I imagine that your parents
are even prouder of you, Miss Anna.

Well, gosh, what can I say...

Thanks for your kind words.

Oh-ho! Do I feel love in the air?

These two do come
from similar backgrounds.

The Lambert route might
be the most realistic option.

I mean, Anna is of common birth

while Lambert is from
a fringe family of minor nobles.

Not to mention that Duke Auvergne

has roots in a noble family
from the countryside.

I suppose that proves it's fairly normal
in this world for those of lower status

to rise up the ranks through
their demonstrable skills.

In which case, depending on
how the game's story unfolds,

it's even possible for Anna to become the
Queen by progressing on the Virgile route.

Anna? I notice you haven't eaten anything.

Are you feeling sick?

N-no, it's just that...

I've never really seen
any of these snacks before,

so I'm not sure how to eat them.

With proper manners, I mean.

I can relate.

When I first joined the Balance family,

I had no idea what
proper table manners were.

It was a real struggle.

Oh really, even you?

That's only natural.

Hey, Grace!
Can't you give her lessons or something?

Why, yes. Certainly.

Well, I don't mean right here and now.

I was thinking more about summer vacation.

Hm?

Say, Anna, do you have any summer plans?

Huh? Well...

Summer Vacation

Let's see.

I'm planning to stay at the dorms
for as long as I can.

Dorms are Closed

And then go home to visit my family
while they're closed.

No way, that would be a huge waste!

Don't you think summer vacation
is the perfect opportunity

for Grace to invite you to stay here
at the Auvergne Estate

and learn firsthand about how
to live life as an aristocrat?

Well, I'll be!
That's a brilliant suggestion!

Huh?! What?!

I-I would really hate
to impose on you like that!

Besides, there's not much point
to a commoner like me

learning how to live as an aristocrat...

Nonsense!

Anna.

It seems you have yet to fully grasp
the reality of your position.

Hm?

In the not-too-distant future,

it's possible that you will
find yourself standing

in the highest echelon of our kingdom.

Assuming you go down the Virgile route, of
course.

Bearing that in mind,

you must prepare yourself by at least
learning the basic rules and manners.

Huh?!

The highest echelon of the kingdom
is obviously the royal family!

Crown Prince Virgile is already set
to be the next king

and he's engaged to Lady Grace!

Which can only mean, she expects that...

Her Imagination

I'm going to join the ranks
of the Royal Court

by serving Queen Grace
as her lady-in-waiting?!

Very well, Lady Grace!

I swear to prepare myself
for that big day!

I'll learn all the ins and outs
of upper class etiquette

to the best of my ability!

Motivation Level

O-oh, really?

Then it's settled.

You'll be staying with me over summer
vacation to get firsthand experience.

Are we clear?

Crystal, Lady Grace!

Those two have such
a cordial friendship, don't they?

They sure do!

I get the feeling
they're not on the same page.

But whatever, that just makes it more fun!

The Mischevious Type

Well, shucks. This is weird.
Where am I?

Such a quiet and empty place...

Hm?

Dad.

Oh, it's you, Orion!

Come on. This way, Dad.

Fair enough.

I guess I am your parent
in a manner of speaking.

But wait, since when
have you been able to talk?

And y'know,
that voice sounds awfully familiar...

Grace?

Grace, so, uh...

I'm not sure what to say.

"Nice to meet you,"
doesn't feel quite right.

What exactly is our relationship
in the first place?

Thinking about it, I still don't
know anything about our situation

or what "we" are even supposed to be.

But for starters,
let's get you out of there, Grace.

Staying cooped up
in such a dark and cold place

is definitely not good for your health.

A dream?

Um, good morning?
I hope you slept okay, my lady.

Oh, yes.

Good morning, Josette.

Did you have a nightmare or something?

Maybe so.

I'm afraid I don't remember clearly...

It's all just a blur.

Um, Lady Grace?

Anna?!

What are you doing in that get-up?

Auvergne Estate: Grace's Room

Anna

Have you forgotten, Lady Grace?

Today is the day that
I'm supposed to train with your maids.

That was a dream sequence... wasn't it?

Kenzaburo

Oh, it's you, Orion!

That's the first time

we've gotten a scene like that!

Although, I'm not sure what the deal is

with Grace being stuck
in a cage like that...

It's gotta be an important clue
of some kind.

Probably.

So, I guess this really is a new route.

The beginning of a story
that's totally unique to this world

and separate from the main plot of "LnB".

Usually, during Anna's first summer vacation

the game only offers two choices
where she either stays at the dorms,

or goes back home to visit her family.

And of course, the choice the player makes
changes how the romance scenarios unfold.

But now in this world,

it's split into a totally different route

where Anna goes to stay
at the Auvergne Estate.

Of course, since Anna has all the gifts
that come with being the main character,

it only takes her a few days to master

all the fundamental manners and
customs of being a high-class lady.

So you wish to go the extra mile,

and learn about the various duties
that my servants fulfill next?

I remember you saying that now.

Right!

All right, then.

Well, it is important for her to know,

since she'll likely need to employ
her own servants in the future.

I suppose this is a sign Anna's
becoming aware of that possibility.

You better use this chance
to learn all there is to know.

Because it will certainly come in handy
down the road.

Right! I'll do my very best!

All for the day when I serve
Queen Grace personally!

Not on the

Same Page

Miss Mathilde is the only one
who can style Lady Grace's hair.

That leaves us in charge
of making the bed.

Roger that, chief!

You really don't need to call me that.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Chief- er, Josette?

Don't worry, I'm not goofing around.

I learned this from the Head Maid.

She told me to "always consider things
from our master's perspective."

Unless I lay down like Lady Grace does,

I can't assess the firmness of her bed

or make sure the ceiling
is clear of problems.

Oh, I see. That's good to know.

Okay, it's your turn now, Anna.

Right.

Wow. It's so fluffy...

And what a wonderful scent!

Is this Lady Grace's perfume?

Gosh, it feels like I'm melting
in her embrace!

Anna?

No problems here!

Okay, then it's time to change the sheets.

Roger that!

I'm starting to worry about this route...

Um, Lady Mathilde?

Oh please, don't be so formal.

Well, the chief-
I mean, Josette was telling me...

that you're the only one of the maids
who can style Lady Grace's hair.

Oui.

What's the secret to how you make it
look so fabulous?

C'est simple,
I just use my native enchantment.

Oh, I've heard of those before.

It's a special type of magic
that beastkin are born with, right?

Oui.

I've been using mine
ever since I was a little girl,

but it's not something
I can teach to people,

nor can I use other kinds of magique.

And actually, not all of us have
the fortune of being born with one.

My enchantment can heat up anything
that I hold in my hands.

The heat is intense enough to boil water,

but not to shoot flames or anything.

I wonder if it's in the vein
of fire magic.

It's pretty lacking
as far as magique goes...

but I had a hunch.

I knew this enchantment
could prove helpful to somebody!

The first idea that came to mind

was using it for ironing.

I'd heat up an iron with my enchantment

and use it to get the wrinkles
out of all sorts of things.

There were many madames with chic outfits
who became my biggest customer base.

Until one day, I was taken in
by the dame of this house.

That's how I started working here
at the Auvergne Estate,

as la servante in charge of ironing.

The pay was good enough that I could
keep all the bellies of my siblings full.

I owe everything to Duchess Auvergne.

Back when she was une enfant,

Lady Grace would often visit
the maid quarters

and always watched me
iron the clothes with such fascination.

Except there was one thing
that always bothered me.

Um, excusez-moi, my lady!

I apologize if I'm stepping out of line,

but would it be all right if I helped our
young mademoiselle to update her hairdo?

I've always helped my younger siblings
to style their hair.

Since I can warm and cool locks
of hair with my magique

to make them curly or straight.

Wow! I absolutely love it!

And I've styled Lady Grace's hair
ever since.

It even got me a pay raise.

I truly feel blessed for having
been born with this enchantment.

I'm sure the magic is only half of it.

It's also because
you're a skilled hairdresser.

Come to think of it,

I've never seen Lady Grace
get upset with Miss Mathilde before.

Not even back when she was super scary...

Oui, oui. The mademoiselle
can be very strict at times.

But she's not the type to get upset
without good reason.

And never has been.

Oh! We're all out of tea!

I'll warm some up.
Just wait, s'il vous plait.

So convenient.

Greetings, Lady Anna.

I am Olive, the Head Maid, and I shall be
instructing you from here on out.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Let me start by telling you
about our employers, the Auvergnes.

Lady Grace has an elder bother,
Lord Adrien,

who is currently studying abroad.

And her mother, Duchess Jacqueline,

is currently recuperating
at the family villa.

Grandparents: Living at secondary residence

Mother: Jacqueline

(recuperating at villa)

Brother: Adrien

(studying abroad)

Father: Leopold

Grace

So, in other words,

the only people living here now are...

Yes. Just Duke Leopold and Lady Grace.

Can you guess how many servants

work here in comparison?

Let's see.

The mansion is rather large,

so maybe a few dozen?

As of this moment,
we have roughly 300 servants.

Three hundred?!

Mansion Interior:

Cleaning / Laundry

Cooking

Administration

Teaching / Nursing

The Auvergne Estate
is comprised of not just the mansion,

but also the large plot
of land that it sits on.

Therefore, the servants
are split into two groups

Houses for Craftsmen and Gardeners

to Live with Their Families

Gardens

Mansion Exterior:

Gardening / Crafting

Caring for Livestock

Farming / Wine & Milk Making

who either operate inside
or outside the mansion.

Grape Fields & Winery

Ranch & Stables

I'll start with those who work inside.

We have the housekeeping team who
take care of all the cleaning and laundry.

Since the duke's official
residence is often used

to hold fundraising parties
that support public funds,

the interior must always
be kept in pristine shape.

Then we have the cooking team.

Naturally,
they provide meals for our masters,

but also cater food
for all the servants every day,

so it's a very important job.

Next is the administration team

who is responsible for all
business affairs and bookkeeping.

They also have specialists
who manage the apparel and cosmetics

used by the duke and his family.

Moving outside, we have the gardening team
who takes care of all the landscaping.

The majority of these servants
live on the property with their families.

By the way, we craftsmen live here
with our families, too.

Then we have the ranching team

who helps care for the horses
and cows owned by the duke.

As well as the agricultural team
who grows grapes to make wine.

So, what do you think

now that you've experienced
a day in the life of all the servants?

Well, I had a lot of fun!

The duke's estate is beyond impressive.

It's really more of its own small
community than a residence...

Whoa. I'm totally blown away.

Love & Beast

Magical Academy

As far as I know,
there's nothing in the game

Official

Complete

Guide Book

The Complete Game Guide

that actually explains the
duke's estate in this level of detail.

Which makes sense because

you'd typically never dedicate that
much lore to the family of the villainess.

I already had a sneaking suspicion,

but this isn't just a video game world.

I think it's a real world somewhere in the
universe that strongly resembles the game.

In which case...

My salutations to you, ladies.

Did you enjoy your tour of the estate?

Lady Grace!

Wh-why are you dressed like that?

Seeing you wearing this outfit
prompted me to give it a try as well.

How do I look?

Um, well...

you look great!

"You look great," huh?

Although that sounds like
a pretty generic response,

it seems she picked up on my
secret message that a future

where Grace becomes
Anna's servant is plausible.

She exudes elegance that makes
her look stunning in any outfit!

Lady Grace is fashion genius!
She truly looks great in that!

Means it

Literally

I must ask, Anna...

How did watching the servants of the
Auvergne Estate at work make you feel?

Perhaps you thought,

"It's beyond excessive for a single family
to have over 300 people serving them."

Or something similar.

Well, I won't deny...

that it came as a big shock
when I first heard that.

However...

Josette?

You're a maid-in-training, right?

Huh?!

In other words,

you've been learning how to do the job
ever since you came here, right?

Yes, that's right.

I've learned how to work,
how to read and write,

and also how to handle money.

That's great. So, basically...

this estate is not only a place where
servants can work for a decent wage,

but it's also a school where the
younger servants can learn how to live.

Furthermore, although the parties
held in the mansion and gardens here

may seem like lavish entertainment
to us commoners,

they are a fundamental part
of the duke's job to enrich our society.

The duke fosters a sense of community
by employing a great number of servants,

who then earn the money needed
to support their families.

And it all comes together
like its own tiny kingdom.

That's the impression I got.

What a wonderful answer
to my question, Anna.

You are wise beyond your age to be able to
view things from such a broad perspective.

It was worth inviting you to come here.

I know the day will come
when you stand among nobility,

Her Imagination

and better the lives
of everyone with your influence.

Thank you so much!

Her Imagination

I promise to put my best foot forward,

and refine my talents until they're good
enough for me to work in high society!

I want to be of service to many people!

Great. I look forward to it.

Time Today)

Feast your eyes.

Even the sunset is blessing you
with good fortune.

Yes, Lady Grace!

Look at that old-fashioned flair...

There's just no way this world
is an Otome game, right?!

He's aging like milk, I suppose.

Yep. But there's actually a
