A flashback to before his parents died shows that he was upset about how little time they spent with him; after their death, while he's no longer rich (and therefore had to let his servants go), he still lives in a mansion and attends what is implied to be a private school for the wealthy.

* CannotTellALie: Yuuri is honest to a fault, and [[BrutalHonesty equally incapable of sugar-coating it]]. Lilith finds it adorable.

to:

* BookEnds: The first and last episodes both contain a {{Flashback}} of Lilith learning about the deaths of Yuuri's parents and running to the mansion. The first time, it's {{Foreshadowing}}; the second time, it's at the end of a much longer sequence of flashbacks [[OnceMoreWithClarity that puts it into proper context]].
* CannotTellALie: Yuuri is honest to a fault, and [[BrutalHonesty equally incapable of sugar-coating it]]. Even when he ''does'' lie to Lilith, about the surprise Christmas party, he's unable to maintain the deception for long. Lilith finds it adorable.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Yuuri's parents died in a car accident. [[spoiler:Implied to be the case with Lilith's parents, who disappeared when she was a child]].

Indeed, he's perfectly understanding of why she left his mansion to be with Yuuri even ''before'' TheReveal, and allows her to stay with him without question.]]
* TheReveal: Lilith finally explains her motives in the final episode: [[spoiler:Yuuri's parents took her in after her own parents went missing, and their kindness towards her inspired her to become a maid in the hope of one day returning their hospitality. She had come to the mansion after learning of the death of Yuuri's parents because his situation reminded her of her own.]]
