Chapter 507: Different Ranking System

"But the others are doing it as well. Nobility is always nobility wherever we go. It runs in our blood," Narcissa pointed out.

"Yes, that is also true. There are those who still do not follow these rules. But that doesn't mean you should do it too. You are working as an assistant in my office as the Empress. You must uphold the laws even if the others are straying. You must be a good example to the others."

Thus, in other contexts such as social gatherings not related to work, they will treat you according to your status as a noble from the Ryvaleh Household. But in anything work-related, you are all equal.
