Thalia Moisgraves has been working at Weinterbroux castle for less than a year now. Running from a haunting past has never been easy, but after a decade of practice Thalia has gotten quite good at it. Pushing aside ageing memories, she looks forward to the monotonous life she hopes to lead as a maid for the royal family of her nation. Unfortunately, due to a stark turn of events and the arrival of an (unwanted) unexpected visitor, her once peaceful life is thrown into disarray. Now she has to navigate through the messy world of false testimonies, private conversations, old familial drama and royal affairs all while under the pressure of a ticking clock and an overbearing, egotistical partner. Will she find the real culprit in time or will an innocent have to be punished for the crime of another?

How to Be a Proper Maid (When You've Never Worked a Day in Your Life)
COMPLETED!!! Thalia Windrose had it all-money, luxury, and an army of maids catering to her every whim. As the heiress of a multi-billion-dollar empire, work was a foreign concept. Why lift a finger when someone else could do it for you? But fate (and a suspiciously fast-moving truck) had other plans. Reincarnated into a fantasy world as the daughter of a struggling noble family, Thalia barely has a roof over her head-let alone a bank account to bail her out. With no riches, no servants, and no clue how to survive, she's forced to take the only job available to a penniless noblewoman: a palace maid. The problem? She has never worked a day in her life. To make matters worse, her new life comes with a system guide designed to turn her into the "perfect" maid-whether she likes it or not. With daily tasks, skill levels to grind, and unexpected punishments, Thalia must navigate the chaotic world of royal service without embarrassing herself (or, you know, getting fired). Can a spoiled heiress survive the ultimate challenge-an honest day's work? 2025Complete

Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess.
