Y/n couldn't help but admire Navier, the Empress was sitting on her favorite chair that resembled a bird's nest. With branches placed and stuck together to be comfortable enough for the Empress.
Navier was reading a book in silence, a time Y/n respected and had devoted to either admiring the beautiful Empress or let her thoughts wander, just like when they were kids.
Today it was the first, she couldn't help but wonder why would a married man look at another woman?
Navier was beautiful, kind, and hardworking.
And yet Sovieshu was prancing around with his slave instead of doing his job last she heard and because of that Navier had more on her plate.
"I've head his majesty visits her everyday"
"Apparently he even brings her food himself!"
"That stoic emperor? How peculiar!"
Even if Y/n didn't have her good hearing, she could still hear the noblewoman chatter away with their gossip out in the open.
It seems Navier's mood was ruined as a sigh escaped her lips and she stood up after closing her book. The noblewoman didn't notice at all.
Y/n stood up to escort the Empress together as she called for the Ladies-in-waiting nearby.
They walked out from the hidden area as Y/n made sure her scarlet dress didn't get caught up by the branches.
"Is that her?"
Their eyes turned at a voice that was unfamiliar even to the blonde haired knight. Y/n's eyes narrowed with a scrutinizing gaze towards the person.
Truthfully the young woman or was she still in her teens, was pretty with silver hair and gray eyes, an innocent aura she had made. She realized that right before them was the rumored slave that Sovieshu took with him.
But she couldn't agree with the fact that she was compared with Duchess Tuania. That and an annoying sound had resonated from the silver haired girl.
"Shh, Lady Rashta you can't!"
'they call her a lady now?' she raised a brow.
"Hello there!"
Y/n couldn't help but feel. . unnerved just by hearing her voice.
Rashta's eyes averted to stare at the beautiful woman next to the empress, blonde hair with striking h/c tips and her honey ombre eyes had caught her attention the most.
