-In Rashta's Room-
----------------------------------------------
-Third Person POV-
Rashta sat in a chair with a chess board on the table as she picked up a chess piece lifting it up 'Some people are good at thinking on their feet. Others require more time to find their footing. I don't need people with a conscience.' Rashta thought and placed the chess piece on a square of the chess board "You know the people who lied as I requested when the Imperial Guards visited them? Hire them as maids for me and Her Majesty, but keep the one with darkish red hair as my maid. And one more thing. Since I am the Royal Mistress, I should be able to host a tea party now that I have enough maids, right?" Rashta asked a small giggle passed through her lips, while Viscountess Verdi looked at her worriedly "Pardon?" She asked confused as Rashta laid her head onto her hand picking up another chess piece "Issue an invitation to the nobles who live in the capital. But only invite the men." Rashta said as Viscountess Verdi looked at her shocked "But...That might lead to unsavory rumors, Lady Rashta!" Viscountess Verdi called out as Rashta turned to her in anger "Those nobles are always running their mouths about me anyway. Just do as I say!" Rashta yelled at her making a tsk noise and turning her head away 'If His Majesty is seeking out other women...I'll give him a taste of his own medicine.' Rashta thought, soon Rashta told Viscountess Verdi she wished to see the woman with darkish red hair named Nicky and Jasmine, and after a while both newly hired maids.
Nicky and Jasmine walked inside wearing a maid outfit along with Jasmine "You wished to see us, Lady Rashta." Jasmine asked as Rashta sat in a chair in front of them smiling at them "I heard that you lost your jobs after your father went to prison for a serious offense." Rashta said looking at Nicky before turning to look at Jasmine "And your mother was in prison for theft and treason." Rashta said as the two girls nodded "What sort of work were you both doing that they thought it would be necessary to fire you?" Rashta asked as Nicky looked at her "I worked at a jeweler's." She said and Rashta turned her gaze to Jasmine "I worked as a seamstress/designer assistant and as a jeweler's assistant." Jasmine said while Rashta gave them a bright smile "Oh my. Then you both must have a good eye for valuable items. That's perfect." Rashta said with a smirk as Nicky had a confused look while Jasmine kept her face neutral "There's a girl staying in the South Palace called Evalie. Take note of what she owns...And if you find anything that looks particularly valuable, I want you both to steal it or destroy it." Rashta said as Jasmine just looked at her 'What is this witch playing at.' Jasmine thought as Rashta sent them away to tend to Evalie.
