Stella blushed when she heard the Empress' suggestion.
"Mother, I am also Darryl's woman. I also want to be in the same boat as him to take care of him." Yvette spoke anxiously to the Empress. "You told me that I have to be a virtuous wife when I'm married. Now when Darryl needs me, how can I not help him?"
Yvette's face flushed when she said that shyly.
Even though Yvette had a cheerful and bubbly personality, she was a lady, after all. How could a lady speak so blatantly about their relationship?
Darryl had suffered severe injuries, and she was by his side. How could she let another woman take care of him?
"Very well, then!"
The Empress was speechless. Then, after a moment, she said, "Well, if you're taking care of Darryl, then who would take care of me?"
As an Empress, she was used to having her palace maids. She enjoyed a high status where the maids would serve her, no matter her daily meals and other activities.
She did not want to change her lifestyle despite the change of circumstances.
That put Yvette in a difficult situation.
She was right, though!
The Empress was accustomed to servants. What would she do without any palace maids by her side? If Yvette decided to take care of Darryl, who would serve her mother, then?
Yvette frowned as she was in a dilemma.
"Your Highness..."
Stella said, "Perhaps Your Majesty would allow my brothers to take the same boat. Then, they would be able to take care of you."
Then, Stella turned to the Scope brothers. "Senior Brothers, you are to take care of Her Majesty while we're at sea. You are to stay outside the cabin, and you shouldn't disturb the Empress. You ought to do your best if she were to command it, got it?"
The four brothers were stunned.
