48 Power Dynamics [Bonus chapter]

In other territories, the queen or empress consort was in charge of the inner court. In other words, the residential part of the palace, the king's other wives, concubines, and maids in the palace.

However, in Valeria, Arabella had no inner court to manage. It was the Head Butler's job to take care of the whole palace. And Ferdinand had no other wives or concubines. In her previous life, he didn't get a single one.

Valeria emperors usually marries only one person and that was the Empress. Valeria emperors almost never get concubines or marry a second wife. It was only in case the Empress was not able to conceive or if she dies before giving birth to an heir.

Moreover, currently, there were just a few maids. Arabella could manage them easily. But the Head Maid was already doing that task.

Arabella only has to interfere when there are complaints about the Head Maid or if they needed to hire new maids who would work close to her.
