Charlotte is a maid working at the royal castle of the Kingdom of Ranchel.

On her one day off a month, she always leaves the castle early in the morning and heads for her family home.

"My parents might have returned."

Thinking this every month, she hurries back to her distant home. Unknown to herself, Charlotte harbored a great secret. Without knowing the secret, Charlotte continues to work at the castle.

The beautiful and hardworking Charlotte begins to attract attention within the castle, but she herself has no room in her heart for men right now. This is because she continues to wait for her parents who haven't returned, and she's doing her best to manage her work.

"Why haven't my parents returned?"

Charlotte works diligently while grappling with this question that weighs on her heart. The story depicts her life at the castle and in her forest home, as well as her heartwarming interactions with the people she meets.

This is a fairy tale for adults.
