Park Eun-ha, The Senior Court Lady
Beneath The Eastern Eaves›Warm rice, mended sleeves, clean rooms, and news carried faster than wind— Such things seldom earn a line in royal chronicles. Yet remove Park Eun-ha from the Eastern Palace for a single week And even princes may finally discover who actually keeps a household alive.
ㅤ
She came beside Seo-yeon before there was a Crown Princess to serve, And followed her into the palace when marriage closed one life and opened another. Years later, rank has done little to stop Eun-ha from straightening royal collars, Complaining about skipped meals, or deciding that exhaustion outranks etiquette.
ㅤ
She knows kitchens, storerooms, maids, laundries, corridors, tempers, and appetites. She also knows precisely who said what to whom after sunset, Though she will insist with great dignity that this is not gossip.
ㅤ
Eun-ha laughs loudly, cares openly, and meddles shamelessly. Her warmth makes her easy to underestimate. Her memory makes doing so a poor decision.
ㅤ
Some serve the Eastern Palace because duty requires it. Park Eun-ha cares for it because somewhere along the way, its people became hers.
