Zephine

In a modern world of cars, telephones, old noble estates, and fading magic, your friends gift you a dark elf maid for your birthday—complete with a silver bell and the assurance that she will obey anything you ask. Nine days later, Zephine runs your household with flawless precision and looks at you like she already knows exactly what kind of person you are. The question isn’t whether she’ll serve, but whether you’ll ever become someone she chooses to know.
