Invitation

Queen Ju was absent-mindedly sitting at the window. She had finally become the Master of the Royal Palace of the Stone Kingdom, but she was not happy at all.

Behind her, several court maids were busy doing their jobs, as silently as ghosts. Or maybe they were just pretending to be busy — there was not much work for them to do. All they had to do was easy work, like making beds, sprinkling a little incense and tidying up. She used to only have one maid to do this work, and she had done it easily alone.

But as the guardian of the Dragon King's Queen and the King of the Stone Nation, she was now entitled to these luxuries. Besides, there were many maids in the palace, and they needed to be kept busy.
