The next morning, after waking up, preparing, then having breakfast together, Aimee and Althaf rushed to visit the Palace together.
Althaf, who still has a job with the Crown Prince, cannot accompany Aimee to visit Margaret's Palace first, but the man promises to follow Aimee after his affairs with the Crown Prince are completed.
When Aimee came and entered Margaret's Palace, she saw many noble Lady who came to visit Margaret. At the sight of this, Aimee did not immediately join in. The woman was silent for a while behind them, and the waiter who had welcomed Aimee said, ”At this time the Princess is coming a lot of guests to visit her, you do not want to join, your majesty?”
Aimee glanced at the maid, the woman was the servant who helped her yesterday. It turned out that the woman was one of Margaret's personal servants, her name was Hana.
“Who are they? I have never seen these Lady-lady before,” asked Aimee, she really did not recognize the Lady noble guest Margaret.
The lady-servant smiled and replied, ”You didn't know it, your majesty. They were Lady nobles of the Baron level and Viscount. This was their first time entering the Palace, one of them there was the daughter of Baron Kalix. The nobleman who a few days ago managed to make large transactions of Ventumia with other kingdoms. The Baron took his daughter to the Palace to visit the princess, but I believe her goal was high-class association. Baron Kalix wants his daughter to enter the upper house, the Emperor gives the green light on this.”
Aimee nodded her head understanding. Oh ... so they are the new noble Lady who wants to enter the upper class social society?
Aimee stepped back, as Aimee came Margaret immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Aimee!” The woman greeted Aimee by saying her name directly, if any crown prince or other Imperial family heard this, perhaps Margaret would be considered disrespectful.
The two noble Lady stood up, then gave a light greeting. Aimee smiled faintly seeing this, it seemed like the two of them did not recognize who Aimee was because they greeted Aimee without mentioning her title.
Aimee immediately sat down and joined the circle table chair that was now where they had gathered.
“Include, this is Aimee. He was my best friend since childhood.” Margaret introduced Aimee to two of her Lady noble guests, the boy not calling her the title Aimee.
The two Lady smiled towards Aimee, then said,”Greetings. Lady Aimee's. I am the daughter of Baron Kalix , you must know Baron Kalix, right? My name is Shofia Kalix. And this is my friend, she is Lady Tya, daughter of Viscount Roger.”
Aimee nodded her head, her forehead shrinking slightly upon hearing Shofia Kalix's tone and manner of speech. The boy seemed to think highly of himself highly because of his father. But Aimee wasn't too worried about it, she just kept quiet and smiled listening to the child's uterus blabbering proud of her family and father.
Margaret and her two personal servants who stood behind them were a little speechless when they heard Shofia Kalix mention Aimee with ‘Lady’. As Margaret wanted to reprimand, Aimee raised her palm slightly, then their eyes met and Aimee's head shook her head. This made Margaret fall back silent.
Amidst their chatter that started walking back, Shofia Kalix suddenly raised a sensitive topic regarding Aimee.
“Yes, are you close to Grand Duchess?” shofia asked Kalix, making Margaret smile back lost and glanced at Aimee.
Not yet had time to answer Shofia's question, Aimee already answered,”What's wrong with the Grand Duchess?”
Shofia Kalix shook her head, then replied,”No, only I feel curious about her. Recently he has been a hot topic of conversation among the nobles.”
Margaret was now completely silent like a frightened child, while Aimee continued to respond to Shofia. “Oh, really? Jeez ... What are they talking about?”
“Uhm ... so many,” replied Shofia Kalix, his face like he was thinking hard about one of Aimee's rumors.
“I heard rumors that the Grand Duchess is infertile so that until now the Grand Duke has no heir.” Shofia Kalix said this while slightly whispering, Margaret's face grew pale when she heard Shofia Kalix speak like that. The servants were already showered with sweat on the back of their bodies.
Aimee frowned. “It seems that the gossip is not true, the noble people always feel themselves right and all know. I suggest you don't listen too much to their garbage chats.”
Tya Roger who heard Aimee's words shook his head. “No, Lady. It seemed like the rumors were true, because otherwise the current Grand Duchess should have already given birth to an heir for the Grand Duke. It's impossible if her fertility problem is at the Grand Duke, isn't it?” Tya Roger's speech is also called by Shofia Kalix.
Aimee smiled slightly. “Then if true what? You guys want to replace the Grand Duchess position and give birth to the heir for the Grand Duke?”
Shofia Kalix and Tya Roger laughed softly upon hearing Aimee's question, after which Shofia Kalix said,”How can we possibly replace the position of Grand Duchess? She has a strong background in the Empire, Leandra.”
“Then why do you keep talking about this? Want to be Grand Duke's concubine?” aimee replied, her lips smiling deeply towards the two noble Lady before her.
“Celebrate? Should Baron and Viscount's daughter be able to, right?” ask Tya Roger, then chuckle softly. Margaret's cold sweat began to appear listening to the conversation of Aimee and the two noble Lady who were about to have this bad luck.
Aimee nodded her head. “Of course you can, a concubine can be from any circle. The background is not important, the main thing is that he managed to make the Grand Duke feel happy.”
“Aish .. if there is one I would love to be Grand Duke's concubine, then enjoy a happy life in the Grand Duchy,” Shofia Kalix said with her eyes closed, imagining a happy life in the Grand Duchy.
“Unfortunately Grand Duke I heard is not interested in having a concubine,” said Aimee, making the delusion of Shofia Kalix break.
Shofia Kalix opened his eyes and snorted thinly. “True. The current Grand Duke looks very blinded by the Grand Duchess, whereas according to rumors I heard, the Grand Duchess often leaves the Grand Duke outside the capital and does not care about him.”
When Aimee wanted to retaliate, Tya Roger was already more duliu said,”Wouldn't Baron Kalix recently be doing new business with the Grand Duke? You can ask your father for help in finding a chance, Lady Shofia.”
Aimee was still silent, she continued to listen and respond to the chatter of Shofia Kalix and Tya Roger. Until finally the food came, sweet desserts and drinks were served at their tables. Shofia Kalix and Tya Roger who still continue to talk about their desire to become concubines Althaf finally stopped because of eating.
Before eating, Ventumia has nobility etiquette that should not be violated. One of them is to prioritize the highest degree to start eating, then followed by people whose titles are lower or below them.
Aimee and Margaret should be able to directly feed at the same time, because even though Aimee is not ‘Putri’, she is not, but Aimee is the wife of a Grand Duke who was once a prince of the Empire (the sister of the current Emperor) who later grew up and was given the title ‘Grand Duke’. Aimee is Margaret's aunt.
Aimee let Margaret eat first. Once Margaret had put her food in her mouth, the two noble Lady immediately took a spoon and wanted to eat their dessert. But, a waiter standing behind them exclaimed,”Please! How did you get ahead of the Grand Duchess?!”
Shofia Kalix and Tya Robert immediately petrified, then their eyebrows shriveled in confusion. The Grand Duchess? Where is the Grand Duchess? Then their eyes were fixed on Aimee who was staring coldly with a smile. After Aimee became the only person among the three of them who dared to continue eating after a warning from a servant, the spoon in their hands fell onto the table.
Shofia Kalix and Tya Roger quickly stood up, then knelt down beside Aimee's chair. Their bodies were shaking in fear.
“Gr—Grand Duchess!”
