Chapter 119: Findings
To the Head Butler and other palace personnel, Arabella was just a new Empress who barely knew anything about the Empire yet. Except for her maids who were directly under her, Arabella’s words have no power over them.
Moreover, they were not yet sure if they could trust her words or rely on her.
They knew Ferdinand cherished her since he slept in her room for a month and always visited her chambers every time he returned from the borders.
Thus, they would obey her to some degree. They would obey whatever she said as long as it was something minor.
But if she asked them to do something of great importance, they would not obey her immediately and ask for Raymond or Ferdinand’s approval first.
Thus, if it was just her saying things, they would likely tell her to wait until Ferdinand or Raymond approves.
Arabella needed achievements and allies in order to be trusted and obeyed as the Empress.
In the meantime, since she had no achievements yet for them to trust and respect her, she needed Ferdinand’s words for them to obey her in important matters.
As such, in order to be an effective Empress, achieving this was one of her goals. Arabella needed to gain their trust and respect so they would move even without words from Ferdinand or Raymond. She had to put in some effort so her words would at least be obeyed immediately in the palace without the two having to say something.
With Ferdinand’s edict, the Head Butler obeyed her and had posters about the job circulated around the city.
Those who were interested could begin instantly after just a bit of qualification and security check to ensure they didn’t enter the palace for other reasons.
