章 53: The queen’s second lady-in-waiting? (2)

''I wonder what the queen is playing this time, your majesty?'' On the side, the Imperial princess commented, a moment after Sierra Markell left the empress's office. She wondered what the queen meant by sending her new lady-in-waiting to deliver her words. Was it merely a show about her new lady-in-waiting, or did she have any other intentions?

''Nothing more than a flamboyant peacock.'' Rose dismissed casually. She didn't put much attention on the troublesome queen as her mind was more focused on the Young lady Markell. 

''Leanna, this empress thought the nobles were reluctant to serve as the queen's lady-in-waiting?'' According to the empress's memories, the nobles were very reluctant to send their daughters to the imperial palace as the queen's lady-in-waiting. Though they seemed to be welcoming to the queen on the surface, it didn't change the fact that she was seen as no more than a commoner who had seduced the emperor—a stain on their perfect noble lineage.
