Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 092
She had told her before that if her family ever threatened her, she should come to the imperial palace anytime.
Nia hadn’t even opened her mouth yet, but Banetsa’s preemptive question—having already guessed her worries—brought tears to her eyes.
“I came because I have a request to make of you, Lady Banetsa. I know it’s shameless of me to ask… but I wish to become your handmaiden.”
Asha’s eyes widened.
Of all the people gathered there that day, Nia had seemed the least likely to be chosen as a handmaiden.
Unless she intended to harm Banetsa and seize her position, she certainly didn’t appear the type who’d ever become Banetsa’s maid.
At least, not until the monsters attacked the tea party.
Yet now she had come forward, volunteering herself as a handmaiden—it was clear something significant must have happened since then.
As Asha quietly studied her face, trying to read her intentions, Nia lowered her eyes and confessed first.
“…It’s true I came seeking your personal protection, Lady Banetsa. I realized this was the only way to fulfill my family’s expectations while keeping myself safe.”
Asha remained silent for a moment, then asked seriously,
“Was it the Count’s decision for you to become my handmaiden, or was it your own?”
Struck by the direct question, Nia flinched and looked up at her.
Warm, mysterious violet eyes gazed steadily back at her—eyes that occasionally revealed strong will and unwavering reliability.
Meeting that honest gaze, Nia couldn’t bring herself to lie.

What terrible phrasing. ‘He couldn’t possibly take her…’ She is the empress of the empire, Jackel needs to get with the program. She has shown herself to be stronger and more resilient than anyone else in this novel.
I’m getting the impression that the title of empress doesn’t count for as much as one might think in this empire.
