Ivetta takes a job as a maid in a palace and quickly finds out that she's getting a lot more than she bargained for.  She struggles to stay out of trouble and manage her home life while surprises, good and bad, come at her from every side.  Help comes from the most unexpected of sources, and romance blossoms among thorns.

This is a fanfiction, but it's accessible to anybody. No prior knowledge of the game is required to understand it.

I've been enjoying the stories within the Ikemen series, but I usually find the main character weak, so I started thinking about how the stories would go with a stronger main character. Prince Chevalier in the Ikemen Prince game caught my attention, and thus this fanfiction was born. I am editing and fleshing out the characters as my knowledge base grows. Watch the publishing date as it will clue you in to the latest updates. Constructive criticism and feedback are very much welcome, especially for the princes' characters, as I really want them to be as true to the game as possible.

Current version based on content from reading Chevalier, Leon, Yves, Nokto, Licht, and Clavis' stories in the game. Yes, I know this is getting super long, and I will split it up into several parts in the future, but I don't see the point in doing that when I still have to read Luke, Sariel, Rio, Silvio, Keith, and Gilbert's stories in the game.

Also, there are some Easter Eggs/references to an older Ikemen game called Midnight Cinderella.

There is no swearing or sexually explicit content, but themes and content are mature and include physical and sexual assault, attempted rape, child abuse, depression, violence, self-harm, suicide, torture, violence, and blood.
