Chapter 6

Aside from crafting intricate hairstyles, I was also skilled in enhancing one's appearance. With just a few brushstrokes, I could turn plain features into something uniquely enchanting. Princess Miranda highly valued her beauty. Because of my exceptional makeup skills, I quickly gained her favor. Gradually, I was promoted from an ordinary maid to her personal attendant.

However, Princess Miranda was not only obsessed with her own looks but also extremely wary of anyone whose beauty might surpass hers. As a result, most of the maids around her were rather plain, even somewhat unremarkable. At first glance, they seemed to have their own distinctive features, yet they were all indescribably ordinary.

Though my looks were not as striking as Princess Miranda's, my skin was as fair as snow, bright and flawless. Among the maids, my complexion stood out, like a handful of pure, unblemished snow. To ensure I could stay by Princess Miranda's side for a long time, I cleverly used natural fruit extracts to give my skin a slight greenish tint. This made me appear as if I were veiled in a subtle green hue, making my appearance significantly duller.

In this way, Princess Miranda became increasingly dependent on me, unable to do without me. Soon, thanks to my skills, I rose rapidly, becoming the most trusted person by her side, enjoying a time of great favor. However, being too conspicuous was not a good thing either. I would occasionally make small mistakes, even if it meant enduring some minor punishments. It was better than becoming a target for others' jealousy.

Princess Miranda, being in a high position, held her servants in low regard. In fact, it was more accurate to say she never truly saw them as individuals.
