Lady-in-Waiting for Special Purposes

Who are the maids-in-waiting? Beautiful girls who embroider crosses, powder their noses, and trail after the queen? You’re mistaken! Maids-in-waiting are the ones who must shield the crowned person, precisely hit the hired killer with a poisoned pin, be able to identify poison by scent, and unravel the tangled web of court intrigues. And they teach them this at the Higher Military Academy of Magic. Somehow, this is exactly where I managed to get in—and… right away land in a pile of trouble, dangers, and adventures. Am I unhappy? Once again, you’re wrong! Because from now on my life will never be boring.
