"A blood oath?!"

"The only thing we can do is to promote you as lady-in-waiting for my niece if that is the case"
"I will not betray her highness trust"
"Your rank must rise, for you to serve the princess as a proper lady-in-waiting"
"Really?"
"It is a custom for a princess to have either, a Marchioness, Viscountess or Countess as a lady-in-waiting that is the proper etiquette of royalty"
"Is there any way for her to bypass those ranks?" uncle shook his head
"For you to raise your rank, you either need to marry a noble of status, or be personally promoted by the Emperor himself"
That's interesting, how can she be promoted by the Emperor?
"I can promote you if you have done something worthwhile"
