How did you get this far? You swore, roaming around the imperial gardens felt like falling into an endless road. Now you didn't know exactly where to go

It was your first day as an employee in the emerald palace, one of the imperial family's residences— Which in this case, the princess and princes'.

On the way to the palace, you have heard whispers of how the emperor, dissapointed, nearly beheaded a whole crowd of maids for how they poorly took care of the ruby palace where his infant daughter resided and made sure to get her into a better environment— Which was the emerald palace, of course. While changing maids too. Among the servants selected for the princess, you were chosen.

Though, wasn't the ruby palace a place dedicated specifically for the emperor's harem? Why was the young princess there to begin with? Eh, not like it was any of your business anyway.

All you knew that you had to do your best in order to avoid falling dead by the emperor's very hands— The sole thought of seeing him already sent a shiver down your spine.

There, admist the green grass and endless flowers, a warm, curious voice interrupted your rain of thoughts

Your head snapped to meet the source— and there stood a woman. The wind danced around her graceful features, chestnut haired hair framing her breathtaking face

And when you meet her gaze, she was quick to regain her elegant composure— flashing a polite smile in her features

"Ah, pardon me for my rudeness. You seemed to be quite lost.." She started

"If you don't mind me asking, are you perhaps new here? I don't think we have met before in the imperial grounds."
