Chelsea stood dumbfounded, watching the departing entourage. She was utterly bewildered.

How did she so inexplicably catch the Emperor's eye?

Could this impostor Emperor be a lecherous fiend?

At that thought, Chelsea's face showed clear resistance.

Beside her, her former roommates were seething with envy as they looked at her expression.

After all, which maid entering the palace didn't wish to be noticed by the Emperor?

But now, Chelsea, who had been chosen, displayed a look of rejection.

If it weren't for the Emperor's personal attendant standing nearby, they might have given her a good beating to vent their jealousy.

"Miss Alice, we should be going," the attendant said respectfully, knowing that Chelsea had gained the Emperor's favor. Even his address had changed to a more honorable one.

"Ah... yes!" Chelsea hurriedly followed after hearing the prompt.

And so, she walked alongside the attendant in the direction the Emperor's procession had gone.

Behind her, her former roommates called out:

"Chelsea, don't forget to come back and visit us!"

"Don't forget about us!"

"Be careful in front of His Majesty!"

Hearing their shouts, Chelsea turned and waved before facing forward again.

She no longer had the energy to worry about such trivial matters.

After all, she had more pressing concerns now!

As an assassin disguised by her Teigu's transformation ability, staying close to a strong fighter like the Emperor increased the risk of exposure.

When that happened, her life would be in grave danger.

"What should I do now?" Chelsea thought anxiously as she looked toward the distant procession.

And so, quite inexplicably, Chelsea became Mika's personal maid.

Her duties involved staying by Mika's side at all times, handling various trivial matters for him.

Such a life was easy for Chelsea, given her rich experience in assassination and espionage.

Being close to Mika also allowed her to easily gather important information.

During this time, Chelsea met the new Prime Minister, Mellie, and the new Grand General, Airmid.

Both were rare beauties.

Watching their interactions with the Emperor, Chelsea couldn't help but suspect that they had special relationships with him.

However, she also sensed complicated emotions in their gazes toward her, which puzzled Chelsea.

But these matters weren't her primary concern.

What mattered was that, over time, she gradually gained Mika's trust.

"So, you'd like to request some time off?" Mika didn't stop writing as he heard Chelsea's request beside him.

"Yes," Chelsea replied, kneeling respectfully on the ground.
