Seeping through the doorway was broad morning light. Evidently someone had opened the curtains for you early. But it was odd considering no one ever bothered with the Royal library.

The guards let you in, obviously not informing you of The Queen seated in front of a long oak table scattered with parchment.

It seemed to be floor plans for a building from the looks of it.

"Excuse me, your majesty, I just need to clean the shelves,"

"Be my guest, my dear," she dropped her head back to the ink.

But before you could rid the dust from the first shelf, your name was called yet again.

"Y/n?"

"Y-yes, you majesty?" You quickly make your way over to her side.

"I am in need of help,"

"Do you wish for a refreshment?"

"Advice," she hums and pats the seat beside her.

"Advice? From me?"

"Loki speaks highly of you, as does Thor, I don't doubt your judgement from their words,"

"I'm flattered, but I feel Loki would have a better say," you purse your lips.

"First name basis? That's a first," she laughs and pays the seat a good tap.

"Apologies, if you'd like I will go back to referring to them as-"

"Y/n," she places a hand on yours. "Calm yourself, my dear, I'm perfectly content with it," assurance from her instantly made everything better.

"Alright... so, what do you need help with?"

"The new wing, or rather the wing being redone," she pointed along the outline. "I have figured out a use for most of the rooms, they will be for public use,"

"That's a wonderful idea, your majesty,"

"Thank you, and please, call me Frigga," the queen... just asked you to refer to her on first name basis... what in the nines??

"As you wish..." you looked over the plans and saw a large space unlabelled. "I assume you are lost on ideas for this room?"

"Correct, it just seems my mind has blanked..."

Looking for ideas, you spun around for something that wasn't available in the village...

"A library," you mumble.

"Pardon?"

"A public library! There doesn't seem to be one in the village, why not provide one in the palace?"

Frigga hummed in thought, her eyes sparkling at the idea. "Go on,"

"Well, if we want to do such a thing, I feel we should switch these a bit... do you mind?"

"Not at all," she slides away to let you change the layout.

"You see if we move this here... and that there... it would be easier access to the library, plus it will save walking distance and time getting lost,"

"What will we do with the herbal garden?"

"Move it over here so it will allow more sun exposure, remove this wall and rid the curtains," you cross out the wall.

"You're quite right, my dear, thank you," Frigga gave a soft pat on your hand. "Do you mind me ask another favour?"

"Not at all,"

"Would you be happy to create the floor plans for the library?"

~~~

"Y/n, would you stop doodling at the table?" Diana looks across the servant table to you.

"I'm not doodling, Missus Diana, I'm creating floor plans for the new library, Frigga insisted I do so..."

"Did you refer to the queen on first name basis?!" Fera gasps.

"She told me to do so... excuse me," you lift your plate and parchment, moving back to your room.

"She's insane!"

"Will you stop being so rude to her??" Some girls hiss making Fera and her group scoff.

~~~

"How are those floor plans coming along?" Frigga had entered the maid quarters causing everyone to stop and curtsy.

"Quite fine," leaving Bjorn's side you run to your room to hand over the plans. "I have an inquiry about furniture, what is the budget?"

"Do not worry about costs, create to what seems fit," she looked over the plans quickly. "These are brilliant, well done, my dear,"

"Thank you, Frigga,"

"Missus Diana, may I borrow Y/n for the day?"

"As you like, Your highness, she's all yours,"

Frigga nods and collects the papers. "Come with me, Y/n,"

~~~

"Where are we headed to?" You catch up with her strides.

"The meeting,"

This made you halt immediately. "M-meeting?"

"With the rest of the family and dukes," she smiles and tugs you back which you refuse. "What is it?"

"I couldn't possibly intrude, I not only am a maid but I look as one too!" Gesturing to your clothes she smiles and ran a hand over your aura.

"Not anymore," tilting your head, eyes trailed to your dress which no longer had an apron nor a splash of flour or stain. In fact it was of the most luxurious fabric, detailed golden flowers coating the waist over green silhouette.

"Your majesty, as lovely as this is, I couldn't-"

"Y/n, if you do not come willingly I shall have to command you as the Queen,"

Taking a gulp of nerves, she smiles at your quick nod. "Now I have a plan,"
