บท 288: Two purposes

The time I need to recover is enough for the ladies attending the selection to gather in the Palace. A couple, related to Alexander's mother or the Princess's, stay in our wing.

The overcrowded hallways on the other sides of the Palace don't have enough space for them. They're not the only few that have relatives in Ethiro, and the others' lodgings are close or within those of their family as well.

And also, they won't have any special treatment because of this.

I hope they already know that, given their familiar bond with my husband, they don't have many chances. It could become unsettling, politically speaking, to have an Empress related to the second in line for the throne.

Today, I want to meet the ladies and check they're behaving. I also want to see if the youth from Myrya is suitable for the place I imagined for her.
