Reborn As The Background Princess

“ I am so glad you agreed to be my lady in waiting,” Charlotte spoke well, writing some reports she had. Catherine was at the table eating snacks and tea. “But might I ask why did you agree? It's not that I am not happy, but wouldn’t you prefer not to be involved in the story?”


“ Well, you see …. The other day….. I ran into one of your ladies, and she met with …. A person who I know in the book works for the queen consort.”  Catherine told her well, putting her cup down. 


The princess paused for a second  “ And who was my lady” Catherine Paused, unsure of the princess's tone and unsure if she should reveal who it was. “....................................It …was………..Aura”.


 The princess thought for a second Has Aura been outside since the Ball…No, she usually likes to inform me ….Have I gone and met people dressed as Aura? Yeah. I think I know what she saw. “I wasn’t going to show you this quite yet until you were tested, but I guess it’s best to show you now” The princess got up from her chair and went to the bookcase that was full. “Haven't you been wondering why these bookcases are empty.” she pointed two the ones next two her; Cathrine nodded, and the princess then titled a book from the very bottom of the full shelf. There was a squeak and a thud, and the bookcase in the middle opened and revealed a wall with a small gap for someone to enter. "It's mostly because whenever I do that, all the books tend to fall out, and leaving that one just empty would be too suspicious, so you know, got to keep them empty... Follow me,” she entered the hole and motioned Cathrine to enter.


The hole was dark and cramped, and as they walked, they took a lot of left and right Cathrine thought they were in the walls of the castle. They then came upon a staircase that went down and followed it and ended up in a long hallway with entrances on the side and followed it straight.  The princess had a light in her hand in order to help them see better. They made small talk about the things in the other world that they saw and whatnot. In the distance, they saw the light, and as they got closer, they could hear people talking and laughing; Catherine could see people walking around the doorway. They were wearing a black type of uniform, much like you see in the military. Entering the doorway, she saw that they were in a huge cavern that had multiple stories. There were so many people walking around and doing things that what she had seen from a distance was just a fraction of them. 


Once they spotted the princess, they all paused and bowed toward her. It was kinda creepy. The princess was originally creeped out when they first started doing it, but over time she got used to it. Catherine, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable since she was standing behind the princess. She saw that in the middle of the cavern, there were six raised platforms made of marble. One was higher than the others. There were four people already on the platforms, the ladies in waiting. 


Princess Charlotte looked in the middle, her eyebrows creased; someone was missing,... It was Aura. Was she spouse to attend today, she thought. No, she was taking her place in some tea party that the queen was having.  Righhhht. She looked at Catherine and thought, I guess this misunderstanding will continue because, to Catherine, the fifth platform may be for her or someone else. And continued walking forward.


“We greet the rising sun, the future of the kingdom.” the soldiers spoke as the princess reached the platform. It caused Cathrine to jump slightly. 


“The rising sun greets you, the shadows and whispers,” the princess responded. “Thank you for coming today and on such short notice... I have gathered you here today because I have received information about events that are to come, Forcing me to enact Plan 66A. Unfourtouny, I can’t tell you what they will be. I am sure you guys are used to”  Many people gasp and mummer, repeating 66A and saying the event must be bad.


Plan 66A Cathrine thought, what could that be everyone is slightly freaking out. “ silence  Plasese … Because of this, I need  medical teams  G, H, J, and I to be ready within two days for deployment as well as Body Guard teams  7, 8 and 9.” She paused “ Those teams that I have mentioned; please move to the meeting room, Rosea Everyone else is dismissed”. The princess then told Catherine that she would meet with her later and someone would escort her out, and if she needs a room, one would be accommodated for her.  This left Catherine really confused since she was the one who brought her here, and now she’s basically kicking her out.


The princess had her reason for this; she just wanted to wow her and explain everything later. But also because she knew that Catherine didn’t know any of the systems she had in place. She had a book that she would give her later with everything in much more detail. 


This is the system, as brief as I will make it; the princess has  6,000 people who work for her in this secret society that she calls the Shadows and Whispers.  Some of the people who work for her choose to because she helped them in some way, but the others were recruited by them. Because the princess worried that there might be traitors, she began to make everyone wear purple pearl earrings and enchanted them to be only seen by others who were also wearing them.  It basically makes sure that confidential information is not spoken to the wrong person as well as other things.  Moving on, the princess has  4 Departments they are magic/medical research(1,000), knights(2,000), Agents(2,500), and finance(500). She has them on rotation when it comes to jobs, so they are not over overworked. She has them divided into groups of 20 in each department. The English alphabet and the lein Alphabet categorize magic/Medical.  The knights have different subcategorized attackers, bodyguards, and protectors. Each is numbered.   The Agents tend to work alone and have their own network of information. Finance is not something she calls on, so she doesn’t categorize them. 


Because the princess wants to plan for every possible outcome, she spent an entire month one day writing out different plans, 100 to be exact, and within each situation, depending on how bad it could be categorized by A, B, C, and D.
