Countless daughters of nobility were waiting within the halls of the imperial palace. Surprisingly enough, many had gathered to apply for the position of lady-in-waiting, even though every girl and her neighbor had shied away from the seat of empress.

The position of the empress’ lady-in-waiting wasn’t directly connected to the emperor, but it did come with the privilege of being informed of most matters within the imperial palace as well as the added benefit of obtaining a certain degree of nobility alongside the title of a court lady. That was why noblewomen who couldn’t inherit their family titles showed all the more interest in the position. It was the same for every noble house involved. No role better than that of a lady-in-waiting existed if one wished to observe everything at the center of the imperial palace affairs since it was a position close to the empress, whom the emperor was said to be smitten with.

There were also many with scheming thoughts that ran along the lines of, “Plus, there's also the fact that His Majesty fell for the empress and even treated her well. If I find out what she did to charm him, then I can throw out the powerless first empress before a child is born and become the second empress. And there won't be a third! Because I'll kill them all!”

The fact that Estian hadn’t killed his wife despite what everyone had assumed fueled the ladies with courage. Because everyone that had gathered were descendants of noble families, no one fell short in appearance, but some of them were dressed extravagantly in a display of their respective families’ statuses and authority.

Elysia was one of them. She let out a small smile as she inspected her competition, pleased. She thought she was the best candidate present, and, objectively, she wasn’t wrong. Be it her looks, her attire, or the noble house she belonged to, she was the most suitable person present to become a lady-in-waiting.

They wouldn’t pick just one person, though, so she wondered who else would get picked. She scanned her surroundings, but then her eyes landed on something odd. There was a lady sitting off in a corner of the hall looking as nervous as a person could get. It was woefully obvious. She looked somewhat more rustic than others in terms of appearance, too, wearing a very large and heavy emerald brooch upon her chest.

Laughter escaped Elysia’s lips at the young lady’s unfortunately awkward attire. Someone acquainted with Elysia whispered to her from her side, noticing where her gaze had landed. “I hear she’s the daughter of Margrave Kaniche. Her name is Tania, I think? I was aware that their land was located in some remote corner of the country, but it’s a wonder as to why they sent his daughter as a candidate in that outfit. I suppose they thought slapping a large jewel on it somewhere would make it look alright. Poor girl.”

Her tone oozed with mockery despite her seemingly sympathetic words, evoking further laughter from Elysia.
