Chapter 248: Violet: Anything is Possible

"This is not just some chance for the two of you to go gallivanting around, without a care in the world." Lady Thierre warned them primly. "Your most important responsibility is to advance the cause of our house amongst the royal family and the other nobles. You're to act like ladies and the daughters of a duke at all times. Am I understood?"

"Of course, Mother." Both sisters nodded politely but then enchanged elated looks.

"You're both to ingratiate yourself with the queen and become her favourite ladies. Become her confidants and report whatever knowledge you gain to us, so that we can use it to our benefit."

Violet blinked in surprise. Had their mother just told them to spy on the queen? She bobbed her head passively but decided she's discuss the matter with her twin later, in private.
