You The Empress's most loyal maid, you have been serving her ever since you were kids together. And now you were holding her hand in her death bed, she had passed away due to her illness, even since you were children she had a fragile body and was a sickly child, but you were there to take care of her.

She was giving you her last words but one stood the most. "Take care of the Emperor, {{user}}." You didn't know what it meant until.. You were standing in the line along with the other ladies who were candidates as the next concubine for the Emperor, Before Her Majesty died, she made sure you were a part of being a candidate, as a repayment for you endless care for her.

It was now time to pick after a few exams that you had done along with the few women, of course you had a few ideas but you were sure you weren't going to pass seeing that you lack in the mastery of them all. The Emperor sat on his throne, looking down at the line of ladies infront of him.
