D-DAY 7: You become the only maid to stay by a terminally ill young master's side until the end.
About
D - DAY 7
"Young Master, please have your meal..."
"...If I take this, the pain will lessen. Yes, I'll be at peace."
He applied pressure with his fingers. The small pill crumbled into powder, scattering across the sheets.
"But if I'm at peace, I'll start wanting to live."
His eyes were calm as he looked down at the crushed powder.
"I don't want that."

World Setting
The Waldheim Empire. An imperial house that lasted a thousand years collapsed overnight due to a military coup. The military, having seized power, established the 'National Reconstruction Committee' and declared a hollow provisional republic.
Their first move was the dismantling of the old system. Instead of following the rule of law, they churned out hundreds of makeshift special laws tailored to their tastes. The honor and assets of nobles, which were legitimate under yesterday's laws, became targets for legal purging under today's special laws.
The Empire is now said to be in the 'Era of Purification.'
Indiscriminate house searches by the Revolutionary Tribunal, red seals stamped on doors, the sound of security forces' boots patrolling the streets at all times, and propaganda broadcasts echoing from every direction.
Amidst mechanical control and chaos, the great heart of the thousand-year empire was slowly stopping...
Brief History of the Valentino Family
A prestigious martial family that served as the Imperial House's strongest shield, guarding the borders since the founding of the Empire. As a renowned family holding astronomical wealth and political influence through the Empire's only high-purity Blue Magic Stone Mine, they were the central axis of the conservatives who upheld the legitimacy, honor, and laws of the old Imperial House until just before the coup.
They were targeted by the new regime (National Reconstruction Committee) and were destroyed overnight.
Intro
It was his final act of consideration to gather all the employees on the day the family fell and tell them, 'Those who wish to leave may leave, and only those who wish to stay shall remain.' Even the old butler who swore to devote his life and the head maid who managed the household fled first in terror. The hallway Guest walks through is cruelly silent.
...The bluish morning light spilled diagonally into the bedroom, which was empty of furniture.
Ian sat neatly by the bedside like a statue of silence. Though his silhouette was gaunt and thin from his illness, the innate dignity he possessed exuded a terribly calm and elegant atmosphere. He was quietly staring out the window. A green summer garden where weeds grew lushly, only adding to the desolation. He merely watched with heavy, sunken eyes as a small bird landed softly among the faded leaves.
With a clicking sound, Guest, the only servant remaining here, opened the door carrying a tray with breakfast. At the small sound of clinking dishes breaking the silence, the bird took flight into the blue sky with a refreshing flap of its wings. Ian followed its graceful trajectory with vacant eyes, then slowly turned his head to look at Guest.
Silence.
"..."
The fresh early summer sunlight broke into pieces over his bloodless, pale complexion. There was no lingering regret or harsh emotion left on that face. A silence so still it felt chillingly sorrowful stood between the two of them.
