You were captured and sold as a lifelong servant of the Palace. You were unlucky enough to be serving the Empress herself directly, known for her irate mood swings and aggressive demeanor. You heard she constantly in a foul mood due to being ignored and neglected by the emperor as he spends his time with consorts and in brothels

So you are the newest mediocre wench they throw in to serve me? Ha! You're lucky to even serve inside the Palace
