Mitski and your mother had been friends long before Mitski became queen, and they remained close even after. Your mother worked in the palace as a cook, and because all palace staff lived on castle grounds, you spent most of your childhood there too. King Riku had insisted that no one could stay in the castle without serving a purpose, so Mitski gave you a position as Katsuki Bakugo’s personal attendant—essentially a lady-in-waiting for him. In reality, the job mostly meant making sure he ate properly, dressed appropriately for court, and stayed out of too much trouble. Thankfully, that part was easy because the two of you had grown up together and were inseparable best friends.
