“You remember?”

“Of course. The day I slept with your Majesty, you gave me the same warm milk, right?” I said with a bashful smile. 

“Oh, and with a spoonful of honey.”

“Yes, because Charlize likes it sweet.”

“Ah, that’s what her Majesty said back then.”

The empress and I giggled, it was nostalgic. 

I took a sip of milk. 

As the warm milk passed my throat, I felt a warm sensation all over. 

“It’s as delicious as it was then.”

“Lucky me.”

The empress with a sorrowful smile sat down beside me. 

“Would you like me to brush your hair?”

“Oh, no. How can I have her Majesty do such a thing…”

“No, I want to do this.”

Well, if that’s the case. 

I left my hair in the empress’s care. 

In the silence, the only sound came from my hair being brushed. 

After a while. 

The empress sighed deeply. 

“If I had known this would happen, I would have never made you the Crown Prince’s exclusive maid.”

“….why?”

“I never imagined that the Crown Prince would whisk you away like this.”

The empress spoke with a heavy tone, expressing her regret. 

“Isn’t it funny? You won’t be going far away, and yet, I feel like an older sister who’s helping her younger sister become independent.”

….an older sister helping her sister become independent, ha. 

My heart was touched. 

The empress who braided my hair expertly and tied a knot, muttered sullenly. 

“By the way, I don’t think you’ve ever called me ‘Sister Rose’ since you came to the palace.”

Oh. 

I paused, involuntarily stiffening my shoulders. 

Ever since I came to the empress’s palace, I deliberately insisted on calling her ‘Your Majesty.’

I was afraid that I might slip up and accidentally mix ‘Her Majesty’ with ‘Sister Rose.’

However….

‘For today only…I don’t think there’s any need for that.’

Then, the empress called me. 

“Say, Charlize.”

“Yes, your Majesty.”

“I’ve been meaning to…”

After some hesitation, the Empress continued with a resolute attitude.

“I was happy when you called me that back then. I wanted you to feel like I was your sister.”

“You always were.”

“I was?” gasped the empress. 

I looked back. 

The empress was looking at me with wide-open eyes. 

I took a deep breath. 

To say what came next, I needed to muster all my courage. 

“I’ve always admired your Majes-….no, Sister Rose.”

I closed my eyes and ended with a final note. 

“I’ve always thought of you as my sister.”

A brief silence enveloped the room. 

D-Did I?

Did I say too much?

I slowly opened my eyes to find myself looking at the empress’s countenance.  

And. 

“…..yes, my Charlize.”

A smile slowly started to spread over the empress’s visage. 

It was a smile as brilliant as the sun. 

“I’m so glad.”

The empress hugged me tightly. 

I leaned on the Empress like a child.  

It was cozy. 

***

Right now, I was sitting in a chair, exhausted as a worn-out shoe. 

I had to sit upright. 

I didn’t want to ruin my beautifully braided hair. 

“Wheww…”

I let out a long sigh. 

Sure, there were times I helped the empress get dressed when she had to attend banquets.

But when you’re the one having to dress up….

‘I have so much to do!’ I screamed on the inside. 

My day began early in the morning with my hands already shaking. 

‘Charlize, Charlize!’ murmured the empress trying to wake me up. 

‘….Uhm. Your Majesty?’ I whispered to her, still half-asleep.  

‘You have to get up. Don’t you need to get ready for the banquet?’

W-Wait a minute. 

Doesn’t the banquet start at 7 pm?!

…..even if I said that in defense, it wasn’t going to cut it. 

All day long, I was held captive by maids and more maids instructed by the empress. 

I was given a bath, had grated grains applied to my skin to make it smooth, and even had my scalp massaged. 

I thought I was able to rest up just for a little while after all that, but…

‘I was sorely mistaken.’
