Chapter: 617

“You’re very busy these days, right? Last month, we had a hard time because of the national wedding. Is there anything I can do for you?”

“No, thanks.”

The middle-aged butler answered bluntly, but Vellian drew closer to him with an unwavering smile.

“Actually, there is something I’d like to ask you to do. One of my relatives has a daughter, and she wants to work as a maid in the imperial palace. Would you please hire her?”

“You mean as a maid of the imperial palace?”

The butler seemed a little reluctant but agreed in the end.

“……Okay. I will do that.”

“Thank you. I will never forget your help.”

The woman Vellian asked to be a maid was a candidate for the emperor’s concubine, which he decided after discussing with the ministers.

Although she was a noble, she was not a daughter of a high-ranking family.

So, the idea was to make her a maid and naturally meet the emperor.

If the agenda was officially raised, the emperor would clearly oppose it, so Vellian thought there would be no problem if the woman became a maid of the imperial palace.

‘If it doesn’t go well, I’ll just have to send her back.’

For Vellian, it was no big deal.

Astelle continued reading the document.

It was a report sent by the Ministry of the Interior to write down the budget for the imperial palace event.

After carefully reviewing the document, Astelle handed it to Hannah.

“I think the budget should be like this.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The imperial palace banquet came a few days later.

This banquet was Astelle’s first meeting with the nobles as an empress.

It was also the first imperial palace event she prepared as an empress.

The wedding was prepared by Kaizen himself, so there was not much for her to do, but this time, Empress Astelle took care of everything from start to finish.

As this is her first event as empress, she must prepare thoroughly and perfectly.

“Organize the remaining documents and send them to the Minister of Home Affairs.”
