A maid who is beaten on behalf of a noble boy.
Some memories of her childhood were cruel, but Lisa held no resentment towards the boy. Rather, she liked it-The hand that carefully applied medicine to her wounds was always warm.

"If you can just tell me how to predict the monsters' behaviors, I promise we'll release you right away. I'll make sure you're rewarded handsomely as well. No, if you'd like, I can even let you work in Albraca's strategy office."
"...The strategy office?"
"Yes. If you share the knowledge you know with the strategy office, the damage and risk the knights face will be greatly reduced."
"Damage, reduce....So, Jungkook...You're saying Jungkook will be less likely to get hurt..."
Lisa showed a reaction.
"That's right. So tell me exactly what you want," Helio replied, careful not to touch Lisa's skin with the palm of his glove.
"I want to be next to Jungkook."
"...Is that all you want?"
"Yes."
She had been stubbornly silent this entire time, so Helio was baffled to hear that such a ridiculous demand would get her to finally start talking.
Helio took off the gloves and placed them on the desk. He had come in wearing the gloves with apprehension, but now there was no need for them.
"I'll give you what you want. Will you be satisfied if we allow you to work in the strategy office and also let you be Jungkook's personal maid?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Helio ran his fingers through his hair, sweeping it up. He felt slightly let down. If only he had known earlier that they would be able to come to an agreement this easily, then they could've avoided going through all this trouble by communicating with each other what they wanted.
Freeing Lisa's body from the chair, he asked, "May I ask why you suddenly changed your mind? You avoided answering me before, so why are you suddenly saying you'll answer now?"
"Because you said I could work in the strategy office..." Lisa began, a crease forming on her forehead, which was breaking out in cold sweat. She couldn't pronounce her words properly because her tongue was twisted in pain from being chewed on during the shocks.
"If it means Jungkook can be safe, I don't care if it's dangerous for me."
"He rarely gets hurt during subjugations. His larger injuries aren't from subjugations, rather they're....But wait, what do you mean? It doesn't matter if you're in danger?" Helio asked with a frown while raising Lisa's staggering body.
It looked like she might faint before he could even get the information out of her so he decided to take her to the infirmary.
Lisa, who was able to get up with his help, spoke slowly, "I can only foresee the movement of monsters when I'm in danger. If I sleep in a dangerous place, I end up having a prophetic dream."
