Of course Charlize would worry when Your Majesty is skipping your al.
Fine, Ill have my dinner.
The Empress reluctantly lifted her fork.
The head maid who was watching the Empress eating suddenly recalled the title that Charlize used to call the empress.
Rose.
The Empress real na was Eloise, and her nickna was Rose.
Only the Empress family would call her that
Not to forget, the Empress even disguised herself as a maid and went to such lengths to hide her identity.
It seed that the Empress really cared about that child.
As of then, the head maid decided to pay more attention to Charlize.
The Empress, who was focused on her al, seed to realize sothing as she suddenly looked up at the head maid and asked, Havent I told everyone to treat Charlize with kindness?
Yes, Your Majesty. I rember your order.
Then why did so maids have the audacity to pick on Charlize when she entered the palace?
Oh, did the Empress see the scuffle between the maids?
The head maid sighed in resignation, but still, it would be a cri for her to tell a lie to the Empress.
Its because the maids dont like Charlize very much.
What do you an?
Since Charlize was just a maid-in-training at the education center, the maids were trying to slight her.
What?
The Empress eyes narrowed.
The Empress laid her utensil down on the table and tapped her finger furiously on the armrest of the chair.
How dare they act out in my palace?
Its because of my oversight, Your Majesty. Ill discipline them well in the future.
They were an to Charlize, but not to anyone else.
The empress opened her mouth in a rarely seen furious tone. She was really angry.
This ti, the head maid wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.
Ive even told everyone in person to treat the child kindly, but they dare defy my order?
Your Majesty.
Seems like Ill have to teach them who the owner of this palace is.
The Empress eyes shone with anger. Her lips curved up into a bone-chilling smile.
I dont need people who cant follow my rules.
* * *
I couldnt suppress my happiness.
Why?
Its because the al I just had was really delicious!
As I recalled the food, my taste bud tingled with delight.
It was the best al Ive ever had! There was even at in the soup! And the vegetables werent dried up! The soup wasnt watery, it almost looked like a stew and the bread wasnt black either!
Having only ever eaten a crusty bread, the fluffiness of the bread made fall in love.
it was quite embarrassing for to gush over so food.
But it was just too delicious
I was startled when I noticed the intrigued eyes of the senior maid.
She even put down the bread she was holding.
Oh my, did I eat too much? Im very sorry!
Ugh, its so embarrassing. I mustve eaten greedily.
The senior maid was staring at , her al left untouched. She waved her hand when she heard my apology.
No, thats not it
Her cheeks were dyed red, and the following words were spoken in a warm tone.
Charlize, why are you so cute?
Your cheeks are so chubby! They look so soft! Can I touch it once, please?
D-do, you can do as you please.
The senior maid imdiately sprang up and poked both of my cheeks with her fingers.
Every ti her fingers touched, my cheeks couldnt help but twitch in response.
After a while, she burst into laughter.
Oh, look at this! It looks just like milk pudding!
this is so embarrassing. Please let bury myself!
The senior maid sat down after she played with my cheeks for a while, letting that shaful mont pass. But as soon as the senior maid sat down, she placed all kinds of food on my plate. Even my mind was blown away seeing how much food she passed onto my plate.
She rested her chin on her hand and looked towards with a curious gaze.
Do you like lamb? How about this pumpkin pie? Do you want to pick the fish bones for you?
I like everything.
The senior maid had a quirky expression on her face as if she wanted to spectate while I was eating.
Am I mistaken?
Th-theres so many things
Even I, who was drooling at the food, was appalled by the amount of food piling up like a mountain.
Its okay, you can eat as much as you want!
Senior maid Wember spoke with a smile, and in the end, I ended up overeating a little.
Well, it was delicious, so its okay.
After dinner, the senior maid offered to take to my room.
Hehe, I laughed happily.
It felt a little strange for soone to be looking after .
I parted ways with the senior maid in front of the bedroom.
Go to bed early today, Ill see you tomorrow.
Good night.
After saying goodbye, I went straight into the room.
This is really my room!
I was so happy that I felt light-headed.
I jumped onto the bed.
The fluttering mattress gently wrapped itself around my body.
Today, I was worried that I would run into her at the palace.
But as if to prove wrong, I didnt even see the Empress shadow today.
I shrugged, Well, why would the Empress et a maid?
I just need to do my job properly. Especially now that Im in the Empress Palace
My heart beca heavy as if it was tied onto a lump of lead.
My plan was to avoid the two of them.
If I t the Emperor, I would end up with him. I didnt want that to happen.
Worries swirled in my mind, but my body was too tired to keep up.
Well, a lot of things happened today.
I moved to this palace, there was that incident with the maids, and I also had to worry about eting the Empress.
Hoamm
I curled my body up and yawned.
Oh, I need to wash up.
My eyelids were heavy and I was dozing off without realizing when I heard a knock.
Surprised at the sudden loud sound, I imdiately straightened up and jumped off from the bed.
Who is it?
Are you sleeping?
When I opened the door, Head Maid Hayden stood before .
She smiled gently and spoke, I was going to introduce you to the maids myself today, but it seems like Senior Maid Wember took care of it.
Oh, thank you. You dont need to worry about !
How was it? Was the senior maid good to you?
Yes, shes very nice, I nodded.
Thats a relief. Actually, Im here to give you sothing.
?
Yes.
The head maid, who nodded, placed sothing in my hand.
When I opened my hand, there was a small bottle of ointnt on my palm.
Ointnt?
Her Majesty the Empress asked to bring it to you.
Hearing her words, I felt emotional.
Did she rember the blisters it left when we were cleaning the hallway?
Your hands seed to be chapped, so she told to take this dicine to you.
Please thank Her Majesty the Empress for her kindness.
Yes, I see, the maid answered, and she looked at in silence. Her eyes seed to be full of thoughts.
Her Majesty kept asking about you the whole ti she was eating.
Because of?
It seems that Her Majesty cares very much about you .
that ans
My heart was pounding.
The head maid reached out her hand and lightly patted the top of my head.
Her Majesty isnt the only one who likes you, I do too.
Ah
So lets get along well in the future, okay?
Strangely, it felt as if my words were caught in my throat, I could only give her a nod as a reply.
Once again, the head maid smiled at before turning around.
When she was out of my line of sight, I grabbed the ointnt container tightly.
Why is the Empress so kind to ? Its not like Sister Rose will ever co back
* * *
The next day
I woke up with a determined face.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was still five oclock.
Okay, so I didnt wake up too late.
I clenched my fists.
I was going to leave early today.
Even though eting the maids is still a bit scary, I cant afford to make any mistakes. Especially when the maids dont like .
While combing my hair, I shrugged slightly.
The maids, in their own way, were like the maids-in-training at the education hall.
They were much older than andthey hated a lot.
No, I shook my head, shaking off the gloomy thoughts.
Now Im an official maid and the maids superior.
