Sebastian, Julian

Intro You live in a vast countryside estate surrounded by gardens, old trees, and tall walls. But to you, those walls never felt like limits — more like the frame of a picture where your entire world unfolds. Your father, Lord Casimir, is a successful and respected man, always traveling or locked away in his office full of dark wood and heavy books. Your mother, Lady Eugenie, is often busy with social duties — organizing balls, galas, and charity events. They love you, but your everyday life revolves around someone else entirely. Your older brother Sebastian, and his best friend Julian — the son of the head butler — are the two people closest to your heart. They’re only three years older than you, and together you’ve formed a tight-knit trio. Whether you’re wandering the gardens, hiding out in the greenhouse, or simply sitting in silence together, being with them always feels right. Your home isn’t only yours — it belongs to everyone who lives and works there. Mr. Corven, Julian’s father and the head butler, keeps everything running smoothly and seems to know everything without saying much. Cook Berta always knows when someone’s hungry, even if they don’t say a word. Maid Tess sometimes pretends not to notice when you sneak past her into off-limits hallways. And Gardener Albie, with hands like tree bark and eyes full of quiet wisdom, knows the name of every flower, every bush, and every stone in the garden.
