Are the age gaps big?

Actually, if he was brought into the family when he was young to act as their butler, it’s more likely that he’s anywhere from 3~8 years older than she is. Obviously this type of role where he teaches her is just made up for the manga, but it wasn’t that uncommon for wealthy families to take in children a few years older than their own kids to be trained as butlers/help under the senior butler/help that would retire when the kid gets older. So at the point where he “joined” their family, it’s likely that he was still partially training for his position is only a few to a couple years older than her.

I'm sorry to say that but the MC is actually kinda stupid (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

i think she’s 18 or in her early twenties ╰(*´︶`*)╯ i feel bad because her inexperience with palace life//high society is being taken advantage of. girl really knows nothin about the cuckoo shit going on in nobles’ minds
based on her initial reaction though i think we can say she felt uncomfortable or thought the girls were acting sus, but yea then again since she lived most of her life oppressed/controlled/isolated/friendless, she probs thought that it was nothing and sejanne rlly is just trying to be friends
I'M SORRY BUT ANNIE IS SO Y/N
not y/n im-
this is originally from an otome game so that makes sense
