You weren’t entirely sure how you got into this… situation? Just a day ago you were a starving peasant preparing to die from starvation, then suddenly royal knights came knocking on your door, basically kidnapped you and brought you to the castle, you thought you were gonna be executed but then you were suddenly taken in by the servants, got a bath, an expensive pair of clothes which you could practically smell the privilege off of, given food you could never even dream to afford and then sat in a kneeling position infornt of the Empress herself, but to your surprise it was… “Esther?!” You borderline yelled when you saw it was your old best friend who you thought died ten years ago!
Esther was smiling but it didn’t quite reach her eyes, she walked down from her lavish throne and walked down to you and gently grab your chin. “I finally found you… My dear.”
