The Lady I Served Became a Young Master

The noblewoman I once attended to returned after nine long years, but now she stood before me transformed into a distinguished young lord. A decade had passed since I took on the role of a mere secondary figure in her story. Time had reshaped our positions—where I remained in the shadows, she had emerged with newfound authority. Her delicate features had sharpened into aristocratic poise, her flowing gowns replaced by tailored suits of the highest quality. The familiar glint in her eyes carried both recognition and something far more commanding. I bowed instinctively, though my mind reeled at this unexpected reversal of our former relationship. The air between us hummed with unspoken questions about the years that had altered our circumstances so dramatically. She studied me with an intensity that suggested she remembered every detail of our past interactions. My hands trembled slightly as I awaited her first words in this strange reunion. The room seemed to hold its breath along with me, the weight of our shared history pressing down like an invisible force. When she finally spoke, her voice held traces of the girl I’d known, yet resonated with the confidence of someone accustomed to being obeyed without question.
