THE QUEEN SEOHYEONG [ENGLISH]

tartled when she heard a voice in front of her room. Jung Eun raised her face and fixed her sitting position before giving an answer. The young girl cleared her throat for a moment before finally speaking.

”Please come in. ”

A court lady wearing a jade-green hanbok stepped in as soon as the door opened. The lady walked gracefully with her head down. Once in front of Jung Eun, she bowed respectfully. Jung Eun nodded briefly in reply to the greeting given by the court lady.

”Crown Princess, allow me to introduce myself to you. Im Court Lady Choi. I was ordered by the Queen Dowager to serve and look after you. Please accept my best regards and loyalty, Your Highness. ”

Court Lady Choi got up from her seat and gave a formal greeting to Jung Eun. Meanwhile, Jung Eun feels uncomfortable getting such formal respect from someone who is older than her. However, the girl couldn stop Court Lady Choi. Jung Eun just smiled awkwardly at Court Lady Choi.

Court Lady Choi smiled sincerely when she saw the uncomfortable expression on the face of the little girl, who would later become a queen. Inside, Court Lady Choi felt sorry for the innocent-looking little girl who had to enter the palace at such a young age. The sweet girl must enter the palace, which is full of cruel intrigues that can hurt the girl at any time. Unknowingly, a protective instinct appeared on Court Lady Chois surface.

”Your Highness, if there is anything you want, please let me know. I will provide it as best I can. You do not need to hesitate to give orders to me, because I was ordered to serve you as best as possible. ”

Jung Eun returned with an awkward smile on her beautiful face. ”Y-yes. Thank you for wanting to be my lady-in-waiting, Court Lady Choi. ” Jung Eun replied.

Court Lady Choi smiled again, understanding the awkward attitude of Jung Eun. ”You don need to use such formal language on a servant, Your Highness. ”

Jung Eun blushed when she heard a reply from Court Lady Choi. The girl lowered her head in shame. Jung Euns behavior provoked a chuckle from Court Lady Choi. However, not wanting to be seen as a disrespectful lady-in-waiting, Court Lady Choi hid her small laugh by clearing her throat.

”Since the royal wedding is currently on hold, all of your training will be postponed. Have you received the adjournment order, Your Highness? ”

Court Lady Choi wanted to confirm the status of the little girl in front of her. At the very least, Court Lady Choi had to maintain the official standing of the little girl in front of her. As someone who had lived in the palace for a long time, in times of mourning like this, evil political intrigue usually sprang up. Moreover, the position that consort of the successor to the throne has makes her very vulnerable to the evil machinations of the palace.
