CHAPTER 13 (1). I SHOULD NOT HAVE SENT YOU

Petronilla looked at Rosemond with a rare emotionless expression. Patrizia felt awkward seeing the unfamiliar face on her sister.

"No one here wants to know about the private life between you and His Majesty."

"It seems they were wondering about it, everybody."

Rosemond smiled and replied, but Petronilla's impassive face did not change.

"That's where you must be mistaken. And it seems you don't know about this, but the Empress has a body that can only accept His Majesty on the agreed upon dates for copulation. She can't serve His Majesty at any time. It is work for those that are less noble than Her Majesty."

"..."

At those words, Rosemond stiffened her face. She seemed offended by the nuance of equating her to that of a prostitute. However, Rosemond soon revealed her distinctive, pitying expression, and rebuffed Petronilla's words.

"It would not be a big deal if you could actually bring His Majesty to those appointed meetings, don't you think?"

"Lady Phelps."
