GLORIA'S POV
"Your highness, would you like some tea before retiring for the night?" The concubine looks up from her work before nodding her head.
"I guess I should retire for the night." I nodded and pushed the decanter towards my master before making her a cup of tea.
I still can't believe that the emperor's concubine resorted to sleeping inside this run-down inn with shared bathroom and disgusting-looking bed. Not to mention how rude the owner of this inn treated my master.
If only I could be of help, but I can't disclose the lady's true identity to anyone.
"Gloria,- join me. Make yourself a cup and sit down. We're not at the palace. Drop the formality." The concubine's request was hard for me to comply with. But this woman is my master, and I shall obey.
