Moments Before.
Harika peeked from a distance. Coincidentally, she could see from behind the bedroom door that was not tightly closed. Noticed if Helena, who seemed busy writing something.
"What is the empress doing so early?" she asked in confusion.
Not long after, Helena got up from her seat. She immediately folded a piece of paper neatly. Harika immediately stepped back, just as Helena had left her room.
"Harika?" Helena was a little surprised when she saw Harika, who had been watching her for who knows how long.
"Empress Helena, how come you look so presentable?" asked Harika.
"There's something I have to do," Helena said curtly.
"But… I got an order from Rima's aunt. If you are not allowed to leave this pavilion," Harika explained with a worried look.
"Harika, I beg of you to help me. Now only you can help me," Helena had given a pleading look, making Harika respond with a sad face at that time.
