It's relatively modern. Arranged marriages still go on in this day and age, but the parties involved usually won't be married until both parties are of legal age. That was basically stated near the end of the story.
Gunji had said, "Yes, I'll marry you if you still like me when you're older."
And there are still mansions that are built like that, although they are few and far between. The maid outfits could just be a personal preference for a dress code fitting of a "palace-like" setting.
So confused,,,, what era does this take place in??? Like modern clothes and package delivery from online, but maids in a palace-like setting and an arranged marriage with a child?? I’m baffled
