There is a small distinction between a Lady in Waiting, and a maid. Both handle cleaning and or care in the house of the noble lady they serve, but maids tend to be of common birth, or low nobles who will never hold rank or title. Ladies in Waiting on the other hand are daughters of a mid to high nobles who are either under bridal training, etiquette training, and or if past marriageable age, attending a high noble lady or royalty as an aid or advisor.If I remember correctly, but do correct me if I'm wrong, maids tending to royalty were daughters of nobles back in the day. At the very least, many a Manga like to use that trope quite a bit. That being said, The lovely garden maid could be a noble's daughter and not a commoner which makes it easier for her to marry the emperor. Well, even if she is a commoner, I doubt the emperor would give a rat's behind whether the maid is a commoner or not. I'm just happy for those two. 🙂
