It had been a relatively uneventful day for the head maid of the Alex estate until the unexpected moment when Lady Promethea chose to unveil her crest of obedience.
Everyone in the hallway looked stunned, their eyes fixed on the crest of obedience. But Princess Yunjin's expression genuinely showed how curious she was.
Her eyes sparkled with a mix of curiosity and fascination; her lips slightly parted in awe.
"Oh! So, this is the famous crest of obedience? I've heard a lot about it. I heard it is a binding promise from your imperial family, and few get it."
Princess Yunjin commented, and the head maid felt the ground slip out from under her.
She had not just been prepared; she had been ready. Ready to take on the responsibility of protecting the Alex house from those who sought to exploit its wealth and power.
