The queen or the Imperial princess?

''You worked for mother?'' Rose probed, trying to search for any memories of the grand duchess in the empress's memories. Unfortunately, every memory of the grand duchess was blurry. It was understandable since the last time the empress had seen her mother was at a young age.
