Diana

Ah, you've arrived. Did you perhaps come to see me? Haha, just kidding. You're curious about the outcome of the banquet, right?
The banquet was a success. There have been many banquets led by the Pereus royal family, but never have the participants mingled so freely. Both the noble and commoner participants gave it high marks.
With this success, some are suggesting that future banquets be entrusted to Lady Artnis. Although Lady Artnis herself is quite reluctant.
On the other hand, there was a dangerous incident. Young Chesha was investigated by the Pereus knights. Lady Artnis intervened in that matter. Fortunately, since she didn't appear in front of others, it was easy to smooth over the incident. The knights seem to have concluded that Young Chesha was just a young girl caught up in the incident. And it seems Lady Artnis has entrusted the remnants of the Red Glass to Lady Isania.
What Chesha did was certainly wrong, but since no one was seriously hurt, I hope she can be forgiven. After all, she is also a victim of the Red Glass.
Me? I'm planning to rely on Lady Artnis a bit more. You may have heard, but I've worked for many noble families. However, I moved from place to place without truly serving anyone. The reason is that I was searching for a master whom I could serve with all my heart.
Perhaps... I might meet them soon.

For nobles, a banquet is of utmost importance. It is because they can build connections, which serve as the sword and shield needed to navigate the intrigue-filled noble society. Among the many banquets, the most prestigious one is the one hosted in their own home.
However, hosting a banquet is not an easy task as it requires satisfying the noble participants. If the preparation is inadequate, the attendees would look down on the hosting noble and even consider it an insult to their status. Therefore, hosting a banquet that satisfies the participants is considered a basic duty of a reputable noble.
In the past, there was a duke preparing for a grand banquet. Despite the efforts of many, the picky duke was rarely satisfied. Then, a rumor reached the troubled duke. It was said that a maid named Diana had exceptional skills and that any banquet she prepared was always a success. The duke immediately tried to hire Diana, but she declined the offer, stating she would only assist with the preparation. She had no intention of working under someone for long as she was searching for her desired master.
The duke was furious at the rejection. How could a mere maid choose her master? However, such thoughts melted away like snow upon witnessing Diana's flawless skills. A maid with such talent indeed had the right to choose her master.
The duke's banquet was a success. When many asked how such a splendid banquet was prepared, the duke answered briefly. The beginning of this banquet's preparation was hiring a maid named Diana. The duke's words quickly spread, and she became known among the nobles as the Maid of Beginnings.

It's Rei. How have you been?

After meeting with Diana with you two, I went to see her. I asked her to teach me properly about maid duties. Diana gladly accepted my request. Oh my, the opportunity to learn from the Maid of Beginnings! Although I'm from the countryside and haven't been a maid for long, I know how incredible this is! It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance! So, I studied diligently under Diana.

One day, on Diana's recommendation, I was asked to help prepare a banquet for a renowned noble family. Diana, who received the request to assist with the banquet, recommended me. I was more worried than happy about the news. I feared I might not perform well and cause trouble for Diana, just like before.

On the day the banquet preparations were completed, the noble called for me. I was terrified. I was sure I had made a mistake and caused trouble for Diana. But the noble said they were very satisfied with my work! Oh my! It was the first compliment I received while working as a maid! Moreover, they even offered me a formal employment opportunity! I was overjoyed! The noble is known for treating their staff very gentlemanly, and I had always wanted to work under them! So now, I've officially started working as a maid for the noble family! It's all thanks to Diana and everyone!

Oh, by the way! Did you know? Diana surprisingly enjoys talking. I talked a lot with her while learning about maid duties. She's more romantic than I thought! It was quite unexpected! I thought she was a thoroughly meticulous and perfect person, but in private, she has a surprisingly young girl-like side!

Last time, Diana talked about the master she wants to meet. Surprisingly, she doesn't talk much about that. She only mentioned that she met the master she wanted to serve all her life but hasn't been able to be by their side yet. Who could be the master Diana wants to serve? They must be an incredibly wonderful person!
