Rieka scans the papers that was just given to her by her knight.

"So it's true that she was a runaway slave, and the child they were talking about it..."

"A child she had with the Viscount's son. It seems the Viscount does not want to keep it, but holding the fact he has her son over lady Rashta's head" Theo explains.

The ravenette runs a hand through her hair, " Hey Theo, I need you to do something else for me"

" Of course, your highness"

___

'Where could her highness be...?' the white haired girl pondered as she slowly walked towards the garden of the North palace.

After some time of looking, she was finally able to spot the Princess who was peacefully sitting sleeping in a gazebo by a small stream sorrounded by different flowers. Beside her were 2 dogs, both awake and alert guarding their owner.

Finding the courage to come closer, Rashta walked towards the 3.
Upon seeing the white haired girl approaching, the chestnut colored dog stood up as it growled for her to go away. The grey dog beside the princess then nudged her awake, a small whine escaping it's mouth.

Feeling groggy and half conscious Rieka stretched her arms, relieving them of the tension.

She then looked towards the direction her dogs were growling at and saw the person she wanted to see the least.
"Rashta..." She spoke.

The white haired mistress smiled and waved. "Princess! Rashta has been meaning to talk to you"

" What is it?" Came the stony reply of the princess.

"U-um, well I just wanted to be friends with the Princess. Cause your now my sister-in-law too right? Since I'm his majesty's mistress."

Rieka propped her head on her hands. "Is that so? I didn't know that!" She lied.

Rashta smiled at this, " Yeah, so I hope we can be friends for a longtime" 'Does the princess really believe me?' Turns out this will be easier to do' she thought giddily. Something shiny then caught her attention. A golden necklace sat upon the princess's neck, her pale skin contrasting with the glittering gold jewelry.

Rieka then saw where her attention was and inwardly smirked.
"Oh do you like this necklace? I don't really feel like it suited me. But I bet it would look good on you, Rashta" she then unclasped it and dangled it infront of the girl.

"Consider this as a small gift from your sister-in-law "

The ravenette places it onto the outstreched palm of the mistress.
"Thank you so much princess!!" She replied happily. Rieka then walked closer to the girl's ear.

"It's enough for at least a few months worth of child support, don't you think?" She whispered, watching as the white haired girl's face turn as pale as her hair.
