A few days later there was a tap at my door, there was only one more day until the banquet. But there was one too many problems, I had no ladies-in-waitng nor any servants in the palace. Just recently I added ten men to an army that was almost non-existent. The ten men got to choose who's section they wanted to join, I think it went pretty well given the method used. "Come in." I say. Lexor enters but I notice he was not alone. Three women enter behind him, "My Queen I brought you ladies-in-waiting." He says with a bow. I feel as though Lexor always knows what I'm thinking, he is way too talented as a Chancellor. Since he always work so hard I always forget that he is just one man. "I'm impressed as always Lexor. Where did you find these three?" I ask.
"They were originally from Soix Kingdom. While I was looking for citizens for Majesty Kingdom I ran into these three leaving Soix Kingdom. I asked them if they were looking to move where their skills would be appreciated. They are commoner women with exceptional talents, I feel they would do well as your ladies-in-waiting." He explains sweeping his arms in their direction. The women stood tall and looked straight at me, "do you women know who I am?" I ask standing and making my way over to them. One of the women, pink pigtails and freckled cheeks, steps forward, "you're Queen Ranessa of the newly built Majesty Kingdom." She announces before stepping back. I study each woman, I could tell by their expressions that the mention of my name didn't bother them in the least.
"I made sure I told them who they were working for. There was no reaction like disgusts or fear." Lexor says. "Is that so?" I ask walking over to the woman who looked the oldest, "what is your name?" I ask her. She gently curtsies, her very mannerism was graceful for a commoner, "I greet her Majesty the Queen. My name is Barena Coxfer." She says. Oh? She is quite impressive and adjusts quickly to her surroundings meaning her ettiquette will be very exceptional. "You may raise your head. How old are you, Barena?" I asks. "I'm thirty, your Majesty." She answers. I nod and walk over to the woman with short orangish hair and golden eyes, "and your name?" I ask. She too cursties, it was not as graceful as Barena but I still give her credit. "My name is Greta Lamen, Your Majesty." She says before straightening up.
I study her, I can tell by her mannerism that she was also quite talented in ettiquette, I'm a bit curious at what she can show me, "and what is your age, Greta?" I ask. "I'm nineteen, Your Majesty." She answers. I nod and step over to the last young woman, the one with the pink pigtails and freckled cheeks, "and you are?" I ask. She instanly curtsies, she was a bit clumsy this one, "I apologise Your Majesty!" She says as she straightens immediately after almost toppling over. "My name is Rochel Wethers, it is a pleasure to be able to work for Her Majesty." She says a hand over her heart. What a strange girl, she lacks a bit of ettiquette though, "and your age?" I ask. "I'm also nineteen, Your Majesty." She answers. I can tell that she would need more training as a lady-in-waiting. I stepped back and studied all three of them, "alright I've decided on your titles." I say.
I look to Barena first, "since you're the oldest and prove to be well over talented, I will appoint you as Head lady-in-waiting. That means all other ladies-in-waiting answer to your orders. As of now you three will attend to me and you will go where I go, it's as simple as that. Of course do not be afraid to voice your opinions. I may be your Queen, but I am not heartless nor am I a person who does not listen to reason." I say. "Do any of you ladies have anything you wish to add?" I ask. "No Your Majesty!" They chorus. "Well then Lexor show these ladies around, make sure to take them to the room nearest to mine. It's large and have several other rooms inside. This room will be particulary for ladies-in-waiting." I tell him.
Lexor bows, "Yes Queen Ranessa." He answers before leading the three women out. It seems everything is coming into place, three more have been added to my list of citizens. The ten men that reside in the knightly quarters located east of the palace and three ladies-in-waiting that now reside in the ladies-in-waiting living quarters. If I can get more subjects inside the castle that would make things easier for Lexor who cleans this place all by himself. Also I have so many empty homes in Majesty City. if he can continue to find people who no longer wish to stay in their Kingdoms or people who do not have a place to call home, then that would be even better.
