It Seems I Was the Cause of the Broken Engagement, So I Was Dismissed from the Castle

Baroness Aurelia Prevoria of the Loskeller family worked hard to support her impoverished barony. Her specialty, light magic, was essential for lighting up the vast royal castle every night, earning her a generous salary. However, one day while at work, Aurelia accidentally stumbled upon a secret rendezvous between Prince Hugues and Lady Solange, the daughter of Marquis Aflia. This incident caused a stir throughout the castle, and for some reason, Aurelia was unjustly exiled as punishment.

Determined to find work, Aurelia set out on a journey and soon discovered a job posting from the Domorax family. Seizing the opportunity, she went to present herself to Duke Morgan, the head of the household. Impressed by her experience of illuminating the entire royal castle, Morgan warmly welcomed her. As Duke Morgan had a natural sensitivity to sunlight, to the point where he could rarely go outside, he was deeply fond of the artificial light produced by Aurelia’s magic. Grateful for her assistance, Morgan kept Aurelia close by.

Meanwhile, the royal castle, which had cast Aurelia out, was left in darkness.
