Chapter 41: Lady in purple

"Have you heard?" Alina asked her other colleagues, as they dressed up for their meeting, she brushed through her coppery brown hair. 

"About what?" Myna and the other girl's chorus, Alina was usually referred to as the Empire's town crier, whatever information that was needed from the gates of the empire even into the emperor's bedroom, Alina was very current with the most valid gist. 

About how she gets the gist, no one knows. 

"The empire's queen is coming to the meeting today." She squealed, her eyes shinning like gold coins. "She also would like to pay the goddess a visit." 

"Oh wow, we get to see her?" Lola asked curiously, they all wanted to know what kind of woman the Queen is and how beautiful she was going to be. "We might to get close to her today as well." 

"No, you idiot." Myna scolded as she slapped the back of her colleague playfully. "Getting closer to the queen could get you killed, you are a low ranking maid."
