Princess Kilik, the First Princess of the Kingdom of Aslerita.

Her tyrannical nature was a terror to all who served the kingdom.

Amidst this, there was a butler of exceptional talent.

He was roughly the same age as the tyrannical Kilik.

Yet, his every action was flawless; he was a versatile butler.

"That's enough! I can't take it anymore!"

Day after day, I've had to deal with the capricious princess, endure ridicule from other attendants and nobles, and somehow I've managed until now, but this is my limit.

What is this today?! She ordered me to summon a theatrical troupe from a three-day journey away by the very next day, so I managed to shorten the trip and get them here on time, only to find the princess gone.

"You were too slow, so I changed my mind. It's a pity for the troupe to suffer losses because of your incompetence, so I'll pay them from your salary. I'm going for a ride, so make sure to have sweets ready by the time I return. If you're not satisfied, consider your salary and days off forfeit."

I've somehow managed to fulfill her numerous, almost harassing demands until now, but if I tolerate this new trick she's likely just learned—withholding salary and days off—my life will become unbearable.

"I'll run away..."

My life was practically that of a prisoner in the palace. I have no family. Even if I did, I can't imagine they would forgive me for abandoning my duties and fleeing.

"I'll go to the Empire...!"

The Empire, known for its absolute meritocracy.

There, perhaps, I might be able to put my accumulated skills to use.

From domestic skills like cleaning and cooking, to planning and executing machinations, assassinations, conspiracies, and more—everything has been forced upon me.

Surely there must be at least one job I can do...!

At this time, Lith himself was still unaware of his own talents,

and no one within the kingdom had recognized his abilities.

Yet, Lith's versatility already surpassed that of a mere butler...?

A story chronicling the trajectory of an all-purpose butler as he becomes unparalleled in the Empire.
