"I can't just send anyone to the main residence. Don't you know the palace rules? The Crown Prince specifically ordered that the servants assigned in the main residence are the only ones that should be allowed there. The most we can do is wait by the door or get a day pass from the Crown Prince himself. Not even the Crown Princess can do anything about it." The head cook was huffing when she finished explaining things to Johana.
Everyone in the Palace of the Crown Prince was cautious when welcoming a new face. The Ninth Prince was able to plant too many spies before, and they hoped it wouldn't happen again. They knew that Verone was up to no good.
The head cook hated Verone and her maids, but she could not decline the Second Wife's demands regarding the dishes that she wished to be served to her. She tried to prepare the dishes according to Verone's wishes, and she would still get berated for doing a sloppy job.
