Three thousand years after her dragon heart was torn out, Vera enters Greyfort Castle as a maid to reclaim it, only to find it beating inside the heiress she cannot stop wanting.
Vera has waited three thousand years for the heart torn from her dragon nature. She slips into Greyfort Castle in maid's livery, learns the heart now beats inside Elenora, the heiress, and wears a blood-linked collar that alerts the castle if broken. Her opening plan counts seven days before she takes the heart back, yet each close exchange with Elenora complicates the retrieval, while the lord who watches the castle remains the dragon-side power she must reckon with.

Episode one sets the ancient wound: Vera's opening line recalls that three thousand years ago her heart was torn out, and the castle scene frames a high tower where an answering dragon might finally have a reason to come close. The maid disguise and the stone keep establish the infiltration before any name exchange.
Episode three introduces the blood-linked collar: it knows her blood, and breaking it would announce her presence to the castle. Vera states that the heart and its vessel are both awake, and sets a seven-day clock before she takes her heart back, turning the infiltration into a timed retrieval.
Episode five turns the plan toward feeling. Vera admits that the heart beating inside Elenora leaves her asking why she wants the woman herself; the exchanges move to warm corridors, flushed cheeks, and quiet orders to breathe quietly, showing the pact pulling two people together while the retrieval deadline still stands.
Patient, ancient, and guarded, Vera enters Greyfort Castle under maid's livery with a seven-day retrieval plan. The blood collar marks her presence, and the closer she studies Elenora, the more her stated goal competes with an attraction she did not plan for.

Our editors' notes on the opening arc — personal picks, not audience feedback.
"The collar and seven-day clock give the fantasy premise a working mechanism: a visible marker, a deadline, and a reason the maid cannot simply walk out once the retrieval succeeds."
"The corridor scenes do the emotional turn in small beats — flushed cheeks, lowered voices, a question about wanting the woman — which keeps the romance grounded inside the castle rather than in exposition."
Best for viewers who like gothic fantasy romance with a hidden dragon identity, a castle heiress, and a blood-pact slow burn; if you want large battle set pieces, the opening five entries stay intimate and dialogue-light. Compared with most dragon-romance shorts, this one centers the retrieval clock and the two-woman bond over court wars — that focus is both its strength and its limit.
