Outo no Hazure no Renkinjutsushi ~Hazure Shokugyou Datta node, Nonbiri Omise Keiei Shimasu~ - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - I was supposed to become a Mage

[Aoitenshi]

I'm confused, where does the author think the maids come from? Most, if not all the maids in high-ranking households come from lower-ranking ones. The daughter of a baronet receiving the job of a maid isn't bad, since that allows them to create a connection with some high-ranking noble by employing her there. Sure, it would be bad if a firstborn son had a job like that of a maid, but a daughter? That's perfectly fine.

That would be a wise thinking, but we both know not all parents are wise. Some would label anything that goes against their expectations as a failure.
