In Liora's room , Mira sat holding Liora's hand, caressing it. She continued to talk in whispers, "Madam, I am sorry… it had been my fault," she wiped her tear with the back of her hand. "If only I were not around you today, the Queen Dowager would not have punished you like this," she whimpered, feeling guilty.
Back then..,
Mira, when she was a teenager, was sent by her parents to the palace, or rather, sold as a contract worker. The money she earned at the palace was how Mira's household survived. Everyone from her village had one girl sent here. At that time, out of the groups of girls, Edgar was the one who selected her to work in King Regnar's harem, and then she was appointed to Lilian's house.
