I'm sure the first requirement of being staff in that palace is GOOD LOOKING
Genius: But! But! Why won’t you hire me?! I speak 8 languages and am a swords master with a long list of accomplishments from the war!
Palace HR: It’s because your an ugly abomination you monster
Genius: What?! I’m not that ugly, I look average
palace HR: Don’t care. NEXT!!!
Gorgeous Man: I was told to come here by a Beth, but I’ve got to be honest I’m homeless with no skills beyond basic manual labor and usually can’t find work so have to beg on the streets. I really don’t think I’m qualified
Palace HR drooling slightly: Can you pour tea?
Gorgeous Man: Um... Yes?
Palace HR: congratulations your hired! Beth go get him dressed in the sexiest butler outfit we have
Genius: This is bullshit
Sorry but why Elise being more meddlesome in the side stories?
