[
SOLENE'S POV 
]
Ever since the Emperor's visit to my chamber asking me about skipping my meals, I had made sure not to refuse the food being delivered to my chamber anymore.
On the succeeding days, when the maids had delivered my meal, I let them in and willed myself to eat. It was a mistake in my part, I admit. Because I had been thinking of many things, the word 'eat' didn't crossed my mind at all.
Another reason was I am actually in a diet before but I remember, this is not my original body. This is Celestia's. 
I just made sure though to only eat a little amount little by little until my body will become comfortable since I hadn't eaten for days. Eating large amount of food might make me sick in the stomach.
"Do you need anything, Celestia?"
"No. You may go." I quickly dismissed the maid who came to collect the used utensils.
The sun is already up and I had just finished eating my breakfast. And as usual, after the maids deliver my meals, they left me alone in my chambers.
I thought being an Empress will get me busy and all, but it seems that was not the case at all. In my current situation, being an Empress gave me quite a leisurely position. I had all the time of my life on my own. None came to see or bother me, not even someone to remind me of any strict schedule that I must follow, or bring any paper works that I should work on.
But I am not complaining though. I am just wondering, that's all. In any case, I am glad as I am still trying to figure out how would I adapt to my surroundings now.
I stood up from my bed and walked to the study table in the corner of my room. Maybe, Celestia had kept some diary. That would help me a lot in any case. I still don't know any information about her, except her name.
"Celestia." A timid voice called out in the middle of my rummaging through my things.
I stopped and turned my head to look at the door. When I had not said a word yet, the voice called out once again.
"Celestia, can I come in?" 
I tried to think of any reasonable excuse to shoo the maid away but when I could not think of any, I decided to let her in.
"Come in." I returned to my bed and sit there comfortably.
The door creaked open and in came the maid. Ever since I came here, I had been met with many unfamiliar people. I was so overwhelmed at my new surrounding, to all this new people, and not to mention that the maids were all so similarly dressed. It was so hard for me to differentiate who was who.
But this maid infront of me is familiar to me now. She had been the one serving me ever since I was brought here.
"What's your name?" I asked but the maid bowed her head lower. Her eyes is fixed into the floor instead of looking at me and she was shaking.
"Please forgive me for disturbing you Celestia, but the Emperor sent a message." She replied. Sweat had began to form around her forehead and she kept on wiping and fiddling with her hands against her uniform.
My brows furrowed as I observe the stiffness of the maid's posture towards me. She is terrified. I am not mad though or perhaps the way I speak? But as soon as I was reminded of Celestia, I finally understood. Right. That woman is crazy and wicked and this is her face and body. Of course, they will be terrified at me.
"What message?" I asked the maid, and I tried to make my voice sound softer than my usual tone.
"His Majesty, the Emperor requests to meet you this afternoon." She answered, still keeping her head bowed down.
My eyes widened. Why does he want to meet me? The maid had used the word request but I know it was an order from the Emperor himself.
"Okay. I'll meet him." I finally answered after minutes of contemplation. As if I could turn away the Emperor's request.
When the maid left, I thought I should spend my time in much important matter than overthink about meeting the Emperor. I'll just worry about it later and so I went back rummaging the things at the study table. I found several books about politics which kinda surprised me. Celestia is reading politics? Yet, for over a week that I had been in her body, no one had gave me any work to do. Or did Celestia just loved reading books? I also found several jewelries, a collection of different hairpins and a lot more accessories. But that was all that I found in the room. I had spent the rest of the morning looking for an information about Celestia's life but found nothing. No diary or anything.
And just like that, afternoon came quickly. I could tell simply because the maids have begun to rush in and out of my room to prepare me for the meeting I was about to have with the Emperor.
The maids made me wore a rather extravagant dress. It was made of silk, with sleeves that rustled as I moved. The dress was also adorned with glistening diamond beads. I wanted to say I prefer wearing a much simpler dress but I was reminded that I am no longer my former self. I am now living as Celestia and she must be wearing gowns like this and so, I kept my mouth shut and just let them do whatever they want.
When I was all dolled up, a man came to fetch me. He was dressed differently from the maids, he stood tall and proud and if I remember it correctly, he was the man that I saw who welcomed the Emperor in his arrival.
And so I found myself walking the hallways with the man to guide me. I look all around me, but making sure not to lose sight of my guide too as we go to who knows where. This is the first time I'm seeing the inside of the palace. I wasn't able to appreciate my surroundings when I first went out because I was too busy looking for my way back.
The hallways was undoubtedly wide. The stone floors were made with geometric patterns, it's surfaces polished and colored. On each every meters of distance was a unique chandelier hanged above the walls. Suddenly, as I admire my surroundings, the place is slowly becoming familiar to me. It felt like I knew the entire layout of the place. Even as I walk, my body just automatically knew how to, I was moving so flawlessly and elegantly. It seemed Celestia's body is not failing me after all.
Soon enough, we arrived at the dining hall where I'll meet the Emperor. The door opened up and I went inside. At a distance, the Emperor was standing and when he looked up, we locked eyes instantly.
"Your Majesty."
