Day 1: Talk in the Balcony

"How long have you been working here?"

She put down the glass of juice and glanced at Queen Dowager Radella who was looking at her.

They had just finished eating and it may be her best day in the palace. The food was utterly delicious. As in!. She never expects anything less from the food of royalties. This kind of food was like only a dream for a commoner like her.

“It's only three weeks now, Your Majesty”

“So, you're new here and happened to be my grandson’s personal servant”

She looked up at the Queen Dowager and she was sure she probably looked like, how does she know that kind of face. Her question was immediately answered when Queen Dowager Radella pointed to her wrist using her cane with a smile on her face.

“Oh, right. I am” she replied shyly as embarrassment spiked in.

Now, her nervousness was getting into her again. Where did this disturbing feeling go when she was eating?
