Harika Tells Something Forbidden

Harika stared in surprise, seeing Helena was sitting with a frowning face. 

"What's wrong with the Empress. She's been silent all this time?" Her mind was confused.

Helena sat as she pleased, her legs lifted and bent. Her demeanor was in stark contrast to the blue dress she was still wearing.

"Empress Helena, what's the matter?" asked Harika courageously.

"Uhmm... I was thinking about something," Helena answered briefly and went back into deep thought.

"Thinking about what? Looks like it's not dinner time yet? Ah, you're making me worry. Is it because of those two empresses? Are they bothering you?" asked Harika, who guessed.

"Harika!!" Helena exclaimed suddenly by lowering her two legs quickly. "I want to ask you, how long have you worked in the Palace?"

"Me? I'm still new here, a year ago I just worked here. At that time, butler Rima recruited me directly. But, what's wrong? Why do you keep asking that?" asked the confused Harika.
