Eleanor, a maid working in the royal palace, accidentally draws the holy sword that had lain dormant for a thousand years. The sword was said to be a gift from the goddess, meant only for the hero to draw and defeat the Demon Lord. There’s no real need for a hero in these days, however. Things are going just fine. More than that, she’s not looking to lose her job! The plan is to just put the sword back and sweep this all under the rug, but unfortunately for her, the attractive-yet-brusque prince saw the whole thing. It’s going to take everything Eleanor has to cover this up? Assuming she even can!
