Lady Mirabel, Blanca, France, Ravinia and Celestia was enjoying their day at the pavilion one morning when they were interrupted by the sound of a woman and a group of her servants trying to get inside the restricted Galatea Palace.
Knowing that the imperial consort is out for some important business together with the noble consort and the other two high-rank consorts that day, Mirabel has to step in.
"Sister Mirabel, what should we do? We're nothing but a lady in this palace. From the looks of things, that woman seemed to be coming from the main palace. What is wrong with her, barking in front of our palace? If the imperial consort knows about this, we're doom!" Lady Blanca voiced out while sticking her head up to see what is going on.
"Sister Blanca, stop being nosy and let the maids deal with them. She's probably a new concubine that doesn't know the rules of the palace. If they kept barking like that, we should wait for either the imperial consort or the noble consort to deal with it. We can't disturb Elpis now. She's busy in her private study with her officials." Lady Mirabel explained.
The ladies nodded, agreed to that logic. They continued to enjoy their time at the pavilion until they heard screaming coming from the entrance. Mirabel sighed heavily.
"I guess we have no choice but to interfere? Whether we like it or not, we can't let that commotion bother Elpis while she's working." The concubines decided to see what is happening at the entrance. They asked the nearby maid what is going on.
"Milady! Please. This woman claimed to be the second prince wife, and she wants to live here in the Galatea Palace. We tried to chase her away, but she won't listen. Her servant even slapped the head maid in the commotion. Please do something, milady." Lady Mirabel sighed.
"That's okay. We'll handle this. Just make sure the empress doesn't know about this." The maid nodded. The concubines went to the entrance and tried to see what they can do.
"Milady!" The maids bow their head when they saw the concubines walking towards them.
"Finally! High ranking servants! Let me enter this palace. I decided to make this as my living quarters. You should know that I am the wife of the second prince. If you decide to act like these low life servants, you'll regret it." Lady Mirabel raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me?" The dignified lady sighed.
"Are all the servants in this palace doesn't have any proper education? Never mind, once I live here, I shall have all the old servant replace. Now, let me in so I can see what I can do with the palace!" The lady was forcing herself to enter when Lady Blanca intervened.
"You can't enter this palace! And how dare you spoke to us like we're servants! Don't you have any manners? From which kingdom are you? We would like to know which king and queen raised such vulgar princess!" The dignified princess was in a rage.
"How dare a mere servant talks to me like this! Grabbed that woman and punished her and give her 40 slaps!" None of the guards dares to move an inch.
"You dare defy my orders! I will let the second prince know how you all treated me today! Don't you know who I am?! I am the second prince wife! The legitimate wife! You all shall pay for what you've done to me!" The concubines looked at each other with confused looks.
"What is going on here?! Is there a parade that I didn't know off?" The concubines were glad to see the imperial, and the noble consort has arrived.
"Sister Mirabel, whats going on?" Virtra asked. Mirabel explained the real situation at hands and Virtra was not happy. For a mere second princess to create such a scene in front of Galatea Palace, it's unforgivable.
