Next day in the morning people from the imperial palace came and handed the two boxes saying that the prince gave this for future princess to wear, so I went out to collect the boxes which my stepmother and sister were seeing like they wanted to open and check everything.
“Good morning, lady Xi Lanyon I am the one of lady in waiting of the Empress and she told me to teach you the etiquettes and manner how to behave in the palace, I will be staying with you a few weeks until I think that you have learned everything” The maid then bowed and waited for my reply
“It’s an honor to get served from one of the empress maid’s, please do come in” I told her since it was really nice to be served from this maid, it’s better to have a trustworthy servant rather than those people who are paid from my parents. No idea they might poison me or tell all my plans to my unwanted family members
I went inside my room, my father, stepmother and my sister followed me to my room as well
“Can I please select my dress sister then I won’t disturb you” my sister said obviously she wanted to select the best dress which would look good on her, like she is living off badly. C’mon all the money is usually spent on you and still you have the power to act this modestly.
“Yes, why not” I did not really mind, since I was not that particular about my clothes and did not want any enmity between the female lead and me. It’s better for her to look the best so that no attention is on me.
“Sorry Lady Xi Raye you are not allowed to take anything from the boxes, these are all the clothes that are only meant for the future queen” Empress maid said, while holding the boxes so that she cannot look inside. I was impressed to see a maid telling my sister what needs to be done. I am sure my parents are going to be angry but won’t be able to tell anything since she is the Empress person.

Please stay here for my whole life no not here just stay with me,
But before I could have more future plans my stepmother started arguing with the maid
“I don’t think Lanyon will mind sharing her dresses with her younger sister, so who are you to order” My step mother said while giving her an angry look like how can she scold her cute young daughter who is she
“Yes I know, but this is not what future queen’s wish, I only follow my madam’s order that is the empress, if you want to take anything I will first have to ask the Empress, do you want me to ask her?” The maid said while looking at her proudly
She knew that she has won this round and my stepmother won’t comment anything
“It’s fine mother,I will wear my old dress” My sister said with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face
The maid also looked at her with sympathy
Yes if I also did not know her I would have also looked at her with pity, but that is not the truth. She is just the cold, manipulative female lead.
I saw the maid looked at me disgustingly like I am the bad person here but who cares.
My stepmother and sister went out while I looked at the maid, I knew she also won’t let me open the boxes. She will first want me to learn the basic etiquettes.
“Princess since now you are going to be the future empress, you will have to know how to brew tea, serve tea, embroidery and walk properly. There are many more things but we will first start with walking properly.
Being a doctor I did not know these things at all and the previous lazy owner also did not know these things. I thought I will live a peaceful life but now I still have to learn these ettiquetes.
I felt that it was not a difficult task so and won’t take much time.
“Yes, why not let’s start with walking” I said with confidence and we went towards the garden area
“Princess lean backward”
“Princess don’t bend your knees, while walking”
“Princess look straight”
“Princess don’t move your hands”
“Princess….
I feel like crying my legs my back everything is paining terribly, I feel becoming a doctor was more easier than this
I did not know becoming a future queen was so difficult.
My legs did not even support me but given everything would be reported to the Empress, I did not want to make my life more difficult as first only difficult it is.
