In Your Good Graces {MomoJirou}

Guesswork

Kyouka sat on her bed, contemplating the decision she had made. As you may have concluded, Kyouka loathes anyone who wears the "Yaoyorozu" name, and her reason for doing so was sensible. Despite this, she had just "welcomed" the enemy into her home. The confidence that she displayed in her ruling regarding the princess earlier seemed to have diminished as she had time to think alone.

She heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in."

One of her servants came in bowing her head, "Your majesty, Duke of Electrim is here, but no one has received a message beforehand for his arrival."

She rolled her eyes, "Of course not."

She looked back up to the weary expression of the maid, "Oh, don't fret. Tell him I'll meet with him momentarily."

"Yes ma'am."

Duke of Electrim, or Denki Kaminari III, is a close friend to Kyouka. It was not surprising if he randomly visited her kingdom without notifying her first. She didn't find it the least bit disrespectful and, in fact, enjoyed his unexpected visits. He was always a welcomed visitor in her lands. Though, she would never verbally admit that.

Momo was being prepped to officially become one of the servants of the Jirou castle. Of course it was all odd for Momo. She was used to being treated like royalty...well because she was royalty. She had to wear a particular uniform that was much different from her lavish dresses she was used to. She learned the rules she would have to follow to stay in the queen's abode.

She was taken to the chamber where the other maids resided. Talking and giggling could be heard within the room. Mrs. Akane, the housekeeper, opened the door and scolded the girls.

"This is the new addition to our group. Now, I'm assuming you girls already know who she is. Before you pass judgement, the Queen has ordered that she works here. You should treat her like she's one of our own. She is your equal now, so don't be intimidated or scared of her. Now that all is said, I need a volunteer to familiarize her with the castle and the chores."

Momo's head was held low. She didn't want to meet the piercing gazes of the other girls. She had already figured out how things would unfold with her "colleagues." She could hear the whispers and snickers among them.

"If no one volunteers, I'll decide myself," the older woman warned.

"Ma'am, I'll do it!" Raised the hand of a brunette.

Momo glanced at the girl who had offered to help her. She had a kind and soft demeanor.

She approached the ravenette, "I'm Ochako Uraraka. It's a pleasure to meet you."

She held out her hand, which Momo took, reluctantly.

She didn't have to think twice to come up with a posh response, "No, the pleasure is all mine. Thank you for volunteering to assist me."

"No problem. Momo, right?"

She nodded her head.

Kyouka walked through the corridors to the drawing room. There stood the Duke of Electrim. He was known for his enticing charisma. He stood with perfect posture with both hands on his scepter.

He moved a golden lock of hair from his face and bowed down to the queen in front of him, "My liege."

She kicked him in the crotch.
