Chapter 30: Hayasaka Ai
The Hayasaka family was once one of the most prominent families in Japan. They had a long history in the world of business and politics, with significant influence across various sectors. However, everything changed when they lost a power struggle to the Shinomiya family—the family at the pinnacle of the corporate world.
Unwilling to let the Hayasaka lineage disappear entirely, the Shinomiya family absorbed them into their inner circle. The exceptional Hayasaka bloodline became a valuable asset to the main family.
Hayasaka Ai.
The girl had a quarter of Irish blood from her great-grandmother, passed down through her father. Her striking beauty came from this extraordinary genetic blend. However, beyond her appearance, Hayasaka had received elite training since childhood. By the age of seven, she had officially become the personal maid of Shinomiya Kaguya, the illegitimate daughter of the head of the Shinomiya family.
Yet, behind her status as a maid, there was a secret known only to a select few. Hayasaka was not just a maid—she was a spy.
Kaguya's eldest brother, Shinomiya Oko, who was known as the heir apparent of the family, had placed her by her sister's side to monitor her every move. Her task was simple, yet painful—to betray someone she had come to regard as a sister. Every week, without fail, she had to send detailed reports about Kaguya's life and activities.
For years, Hayasaka carried out her duties without much protest. She hid her guilt behind a fake smile and a professional demeanor. However, yesterday, for the first time, Oko gave her an order that truly disgusted her.
"Seduce Rokuhara Ren by any means necessary, including offering your body."
Hayasaka's eyes widened when she heard the order. For a moment, she thought she had misheard. However, Oko's cold expression confirmed that he was not joking.
As a spy, Hayasaka knew the boundaries of her duties. Gathering information, manipulating situations, even infiltrating security systems were all part of the job. But this... this crossed the line.
Who exactly was Rokuhara Ren that Oko was willing to lower the dignity of the Shinomiya family just to gain his attention?
