"Your Majesty the Empress

"Your Majesty the Empress. Are you here?"


When Lasilia entered the room, the ladies-in-waiting quickly changed their expressions. If she hadn't listened to the conversation outside the door beforehand, she wouldn't have known what had happened.


"Why are you gathering like this?"


In fact, after Lasilia woke up in the body of the Empress, the position of the ladies-in-waiting became quite ambiguous. The Empress of Cartagena was always accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting. The eight aristocratic women who followed her on both sides were a means to make her stand out and a symbol of power at the same time. The ladies-in-waiting of the Empress' palace were no different from the Empress, and they were very accustomed to roaming around the palace without hesitation and behaving carelessly. 


However, after the Empress claimed that she had lost her memory, their circumstances changed completely. The Empress did not visit her maids except when she was wearing her clothes, and her maids spent more time sitting idly in the empty rooms of the Empress' palace. Since there was so little to do, their job was to sip tea and eat different types of snacks. As a result, everyone gained weight little by little.


How long couldn't it be like this?


But they were too afraid to tell their displeasure openly to the Empress. Just this morning the Marquis of Fashad's liver trying to take out her grievances got her kicked out of the palace. 


As a result, the only thing he could do was to catch a relatively easygoing princess who didn't even look like a princess from whom she came from.


"Did you enjoy your meal?"


"I heard that Your Majesty looked forward to a meal with the two of you very much."


Instead of being greeted by courtiers, Lasilia looked at Yvette. Yvette must have thought that she hadn't played her role from the first day, so her complexion was dark beyond words.


"She would have instructed Princess Shryden to change her clothes."


Yvette was still in her soiled clothes. Yvette caught her breath and lowered her head.


"I apologize, Her Majesty. To change my clothes, I had to leave the palace."


Unlike the ladies-in-waiting, whose baggage and servants each brought from their family resided at the palace, Yvette, the court lady, went home once every two days.


'This is really my mistake.'


Lasilia hadn't thought of that before. However, the Empress of Cartagena probably did not know that either. Yvette was in a state where only her identity had changed. Nothing that that status could have was given. Even so, it would have been too conscienceless to hope that she would safely carry out her role as the first lady-in-waiting.
