The Readymade Queen

Chapter 3 – Part 1

When her father had committed suicide, she was being neglected by her trusted mother, and Abigail was almost sold to an old count.

I had always imagined that I was quite an unfortunate being, who had to struggle a lot in my life.

Yes, there was a time. But after I stepped out into the city, I realized that struggling to survive is just another widespread reality. As an ordinary human it wasn’t a big deal to suffer.

My mother managed to escape in the middle of the night to protect her daughter from an old man who was in his seventies.

Wandering aimlessly everything felt meaningless. I did everything I could, except selling my body to survive.

Four years had passed since my family collapsed. Mother, who had survived without a drop of water on hand for the past four years, eventually collapsed.

Abigail decided to step into the court as a maid. In order to pay for the treatment of the mother who is on the verge of death,

It was common for young ladies to become court maids in Grantonia.

I spent several years as a maid. The job of a court maid differs completely from that of a regular maids’ chores.

As aristocrats, the maids are supposed to help their masters in their liberal arts based on their knowledge or literacy.

Court maids help their masters in the etiquette, fashion-accessories and to each and every, smallest of details of the room to suit the owner.

This was a temporary job. The court contained of young men who would help their masters when required to do so, Young-ae-na, who could only help with the chores.

They needed people other than women, too. That was life.

Being a court-maid for life meant giving up marriage. It requires a lifetime dedication.

As it was, the down payment was enormous. Many people come in for the purpose of evacuation

Young-ae, an aristocrat with lots of energy in the family, came in very quickly.

And Abigail was one of them. She earned money with hard work and determination. After working for a few months she was finally able to get money for her mother’s treatment. She also paid her father’s debt in tenths, and thanks to the generous salary, she could live a suitable life for the next 30 years.

Anyway, after some time when Abigail was still only 18 years old. Although the family debts were nearly cleared, she was still forced to work hard as a court maid.

I have never observed it, but she had expectations in her own way. Even if she had devoted her whole life to her family, it wouldn’t be easy.

Abigail has always had a pretty smooth face. Of course, I know best that it is not a great deal in the capital.

However, it was something to be expected as a girl who grew up hearing that she was pretty in the countryside all her life.

Abigail, who also planned to lure a fine prince and live the rest of her life with her prince, was just another ordinary girl with dreams.

Later she professed that it was nothing but impossible.

It couldn’t be helped, the fact that my face wasn’t one that would sweep people off their feet.

I have no choice, just let me fall into my swamp.

The reality was grim. Very far from a swamp, I couldn’t see a prince ever. Why? You may be wondering, he isn’t here.

In addition, the eldest daughter of the family, who was put on the floor with various debts,

Abigail, of course, fell into the corner of the palace without a name.

There is an idiotic girl, she was the royal princess, you will be serving her from this day forth.

It was all about getting food that day and cleaning the outside without any noise or rumors.

But the biggest problem wasn’t idiots, boring places, excessive work, or loneliness.

The biggest issue was that this was going to be a lifelong responsibility. Abi, who lived blankly for days in an incredible reality, soon agreed and began to adjust to what was happening.

Instead of despairing, Abigail, Had come in terms with reality. Romance with the prince is just a dream, She thought to herself, ‘I feel comfortable for 20 years’.

She comforted herself that she could eat a hammock.

She was pleasantly surprised with the fact that: the princess was really nice.

The 5th Princess had informed Abigail about her heart, it had stopped growing at the age of five. The characteristic of advocating perfect and superior bloody inheritance, A member of the imperial family, when born with a disability, will not be acknowledged as a member of the imperial family. Even after being a direct descendant of the empress, when the disability was discovered, she was moved from her mother and confined together with the nanny and her two maids.

The nanny who raised the imprisoned princess like her own mother passed away 6 years ago, and one of the maids who loved her like family also passed away 4 years ago, and not too long ago, the only maid left had passed. Abigail was now the very last maid’s successor.

The first thing that came to Abigail’s mind when she was told that the princess had a mindset of that of a five-year-old, were her younger siblings. But the princess is not my sibling. Laying down on my stomach, looking at the picture book, a part of me was angered.

All in the action’s radius, squatting in front of the stage, gently touching the petals.

Having a wide smile on her face all the time, I have not worked in a group nor have I gotten angry; I have always followed the instructions, and sometimes as just another human I get hungry.

Eighteen, the girl who was much younger than me who grabbed the hem of the dress and laughed around.

The child is dead.
