His Majesty is Vexed by His Handmaiden

Clayden A. Roccarso, the newly crowned sovereign of the Empire of Roccarso, stands as the most coveted bachelor in the realm. Blessed with striking physical appeal, exceptional swordsmanship, and a reputation forged through heroic victories against formidable monsters, he commands the widespread adoration of both nobles and commoners alike. Yet, despite his overwhelming popularity, he faces a singular, perplexing exception. Emilia Valleta, his dedicated handmaiden, remains entirely unimpressed by his legendary charm and status. Her persistent indifference leaves the young ruler caught between deep intrigue and mounting frustration. As Clayden steps into his royal duties, he is confronted with a dual challenge: he must successfully secure the stability of his newly acquired empire while simultaneously attempting to win the affections of the one woman who stubbornly refuses to be swayed by his grace.
