Product description from producer

Penellafi Balfur, also known as Makivka, is not just an orphaned daughter of wealthy individuals close to the royal family; she's also a Maiden. Maidens are prepared for an important religious ritual for years, deeply revered, and fiercely protected. As a result, Makivka has grown up in luxury but lacks personal freedom. She's bound by strict rules, but secretly breaks them all: she studies martial arts, helps those less fortunate, sneaks out for walks in the city, and more. During one of these outings, Makivka, disguised in a mask, encounters a handsome stranger. He mistakes her for a servant with whom he has an appointment - a forbidden indulgence beyond the reach of Maidens. Soon, this handsome stranger finds himself in the castle where Makivka lives, becoming her new personal guardian. The girl is, of course, shocked. However, this is just the beginning of incredible adventures that make her doubt almost everything she knows about humanity.
