337 serving the Queen

"Do you dare disobey me?" Esther said a little coldly as this was the only way to make Lady Tyra understand. 

"I-I apologize for my mistake, Your…I mean, Miss Esther," Lady Tyra corrected herself.

Sensing the silent but intimidating aura around Esther, Lady Tyra levelled their gazes.  Esther nodded in satisfaction. "This is how you should look at me, with your head a little high up. Yesterday, it was all right to have to call me 'Miss' as I was here as a guest. However, I do think you simply call the other servants by their first names, don't you? Tyra Ivanov, you are a member of the royal family, albeit a distant relative, and you are the head of the royal servants. Just look and address me as your subordinate."
