Title: Duchess in Ruins
As Ethel Lancaster stepped into Laszlo Chrysus's grand but neglected estate, a mix of determination and disbelief washed over her. The once proud Duchess, now reduced to a mere servant, couldn't ignore the challenge that lay before her. With a glance at the dusty tapestries and tarnished silverware, she vowed silently to restore more than just order to this place.
Determined to show her captor-turned-master her true worth, Ethel poured her heart and soul into transforming the rundown mansion. As she unearthed hidden talents in cooking, organizing, and decorating, she also discovered a strength she never knew she possessed.
