After my mother told me a little about her past, we set about preparing the guest rooms that the Empress and Sultana would occupy with their wives and daughters.
Thankfully, both the rooms, albeit large, were much smaller than the room the Marquess and Jahi owned.
Working together, I was reminded of my first few days in this new world, where I had first completed various small quests before getting a taste for what the future would be like: these large, a few hundred experience point quests.
Currently, I was in charge of the bathroom of each room, the quest awarding 300xp upon completion.
My mother was scurrying about, cleaning the bedroom and lounge, making sure everything was up to par.
Unlike her, I took my time, enjoying the peace and quiet, using it as a moment to think and contemplate the upcoming events.
Little was truly known about the Empress; she rarely went out, and had extremely competent women as her wives.
