Despite being a noble, van zieks strikes me as the kind of guy to have zero (0) household staff
Van zieks??? Trust people enough to let them in his house??? Absolutely not
He'd be too afraid of them either:
A) betraying him
B) getting hurt due to their association with him
Not to mention the fact that the vast majority of people would probably be too scared of van zieks to work for him, especially at his home
Also the fact he loses his gun? And has no idea where it went? That man's house is NOT tidy idc I won't be convinced otherwise
Plus he sorts the wine barrels in his office by himself. He refuses to let anyone help with it. I feel like that would apply to his living space too.
Also I think he would put more effort into his office bc
A) People actually see it (he has no friends, at least in England, he is not getting guests at his house)
B) he probably spends most of his time working so it's more important that his office is organised
I'd also like to point out that the massive painting of his dear, deceased brother is... at his place of work? Not his home? Ok then.
