Arriving at the palace, with the other six ladies who were fair-skinned, their hair pulled up in a design that made my head ache, seeing those hairstyles. Thankfully, Madam Jeong's handmaiden knew I preferred loose hairstyles, I didn't like all that weight atop my head.
Each one of us was dressed in multiple layers of silk, except half of us wore subtle light colors while the other half wore bright bold colors. Especially the one lady who was dressed in dark red, and any time I glanced in her direction she was always glaring at me.
Last I checked I haven't said or done anything to her, she was just acting rude.
When we walked to the main courtroom, saying our greetings to the Emperor and Empress of Mysteria, she was the one to speak the most, obviously trying to become the main mistress, and that was perfectly fine with me.
