However the Empress responded by shaking her head firmly.
“Your birthday’s been uncelebrated five times so far, hasn’t it?
“Yes?”
“Even if it’s unlikely to celebrate all five, I’d like to celebrate your birthday at least once.”
The Empress was determined to not let this go.
I quietly read the room.
Then if the Empress insists….
“Well, there is something I want.”
“Yes, Lize. Just tell me anything! If you want, I’ll even pick a star from the sky for you!”
The Empress spoke with great enthusiasm.
Even if the male protagonist of a romance novel were to appear before me, nothing can be as exciting as this.
“I too…..I want to study like the crown prince.”
“Study?”
Her eyes widened in surprise upon hearing my answer.
I nodded my head slightly.
“I want to be a maid who the Empress is not ashamed of.”
My inability could burden the Empress.
On top of that, I’m taking care of Damian, the crown prince of the empire who will someday rule.
Compared to the nobility of the people I served, my rank was that of an ordinary woman.
And the general recommended knowledge for women in the palace is being able to read and write.
Of course, it’ll be a little different when you reach the level of senior maid…..
‘Would it mean that I couldn’t be a high-ranking maid?’
No, it just means that I have to start studying if I want to be more than just a normal woman.
“……Lize.”
Still lost in thought, I slowly raised my head.
The voice of the Empress, as she called to me, was full of emotions.
“You want to be a maid I’m not ashamed of…..”
“Hwa, your Majesty, the Empress?”
“It’s really touching that my Charlize thinks of me so much.”
“Charlize, you think of me so much, I’m really touched. Your birthday present is supposed to be for your benefit but you want to better yourself for me…”
The Empress couldn’t withhold her emotions and embraced me tightly, lifting me up a bit.
Well, uhm. As long as the Empress is happy…..
I quietly embraced the Empress for what seemed like forever.

“I’ll see that you get a teacher.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Just don’t forget, you’re perfect Lize.”
Having said that, the Empress placed me down, acted playfully, winking one of her eyes mischievously.
I reciprocated with a broad smile, that is until I felt a cold energy emanating behind me that sent chills up my spine.
