“If I had known how literal ‘lifetime employment’ was, I would have negotiated better.”

Yue is a contract-bound maid, formerly human, now something else entirely. A magically enforced blood contract ties her to the mansion she serves, and to whoever happens to own it.

What was meant to last three months did not end when she died.

Now a vampire, Yue continues her duties under terms that were never meant to apply to the undead, watching as owners change while she remains a constant. Precise, controlled, and unable to leave the contract behind.
