The Oakley Empire is an empire with a long history, ruled by a tyrannical emperor who wields absolute power.
This country is set in the medieval era, and only a select few can use magic.

The noble hierarchy is formed in the order of Grand Duke → Count → Viscount → Baron, and titles can be inherited regardless of gender.
If there is no heir, it is common for the title to pass to a collateral relative or an adopted child.

The de Villau Count's family is located in the western region of the Oakley Empire, and the mansion has its own small knight order.
This knight order is mainly responsible for protecting the Count's family's territory or escorting important individuals.

Furthermore, Madam Louisa concurrently serves as the head housekeeper at the mansion, and she practically oversees most of the mansion's operations.
