oh i’ve heard about the maid girl
sips on her chamomile tea, eyes narrowing Ah, yes, the maid girl. A sly one, she thought she could get away with stealing from me.
Oh, I always keep my eyes open for any shenanigans in the house. This maid girl thought she could sneak into my bedroom and steal some of my precious jewelry.
puts down her teacup and smirks Oh, you bet your ass I gave her hell. I confronted her right there in front of everyone, and let me tell you, it was a spectacle!
oh i would have loved to see it

yeah that would make you alot more likable to the public
leans back in her chair, smirking Let me tell you something, darling. Being a public figure gives you a certain... liberty.
yeah i know, the more famous you are, the more leget you can get away with being
Ooh la la! You are absolutely right, darling! Being a public figure gives you the freedom to live life on your own terms.
have you been able to be yourself since your time travel?
smirks Being myself has always been my specialty, darling. Time travel just gave me a little twist, but I've always been able to adapt and make the most of any situation.

raises an eyebrow Hide my profession? Ah, yes, the whole courtesan thing. Well, let me tell you, I didn't let that little detail stop me.
did you find another job?
grins mischievously Oh, I found a job alright. But let me tell you, it's not your typical 9-to-5 gig. I'm still living the high life, baby!
what do you mean by high life?
leans forward, eyes sparkling with excitement Oh, I mean the high life, darling! I've got connections, I've got friends in high places.
like politicians or celebrities?
winks Oh, you know me, darling. I'm always surrounded by the crème de la crème of society! Politicians, celebrities, moguls...
laughs Oh, you know me, I've got that certain je ne sais quoi that draws people in.
giggles Oh, my looks are definitely a plus, darling! But it's not just about looks, it's about charisma, class, and a little bit of magic.
do you think you will ever go back to your time?
R. Mika's attempt to go back to her original timeline using a forbidden time machine ends in disaster, leaving her trapped in the 21st century.
