The Love Square [HIATUS]

Chapter 57

[ Sovieshu's POV ]

“I've Got Nothing To Hide From You, Your Majesty.”

"Your Majesty."

"Do You Have Anything To Report?" I Asked. "I Looked Into The Matter As Requested, But I Wasn't Able To Find Anything Conclusive. "Hmm, I'm Sure She's Hiding Something..." I Said.

I Haven't Stopped Him From Meeting Her Because It Does Help To Dispel The Rumor About Rashta Having Been His Slave.

But There Is No Way That A Runaway Slave And Her Former Master Are Likely To Been On Good Terms.

The Viscount Must Have Something On Rashta...

"What Did Lady Rashta Say, Your Majesty?"

"She Told Me She's Got Nothing To Hide From Me." I Said. "Even After Your Majesty Told Her That You'd Take Care Of It If She Was Being Blackmailed?"

"She Probably Doesn't Want To Trouble Me." I Said. "She Might Think She's Being Clever, But She's Still Very Naive." I Sighed.

"Ahem, Your Majesty."

"Actually, I Found Out That There Are Other People Making Inquiries About The Viscount. I Think They're Lord Kosair's People."

"Is He Stirring Up Trouble Again?" I Slammed The Drawer Closed. "I Discovered That Countess Eliza Is Also Keeping An Eye On The Viscount, So I Believe Her Majesty Has Also Ordered Her People To Look Into Him."

"And Yet She Claimed That She's Not Interested In Rashta In The Slightest." I Said. "What Would You Like Me To Do? I Don't Think They Will Have Found Any Useful Information Either, As The Viscount Has Been Very Thorough About Hiding The Truth."

"That's Going To Be A Problem..." I Said.

The Empress Cares Deeply About What People Think About Her And The Imperial Family.

But Once Kosair Gets Hold Of Proof That Rashta Used To Be A Slave, I Wouldn't Put It Past Him To Distribute Flyers To All The Nobles Proclaiming The Truth.

And That Includes Any Other Secrets...

...That He Might Have Found.

I Can Keep Rashta From Socializing With The Nobility, But That's Not Possible For The Child.

If People Look Down On My Child For Having A Slave For His Or Her Mother...

*Sigh*

[ The Throne Room, Eastern Empire ]

[ Y/N'S POV ]

I Was Standing Beside Navier, And I Was Done Looking At The Paper And Glanced At Sovieshu. "Y/n, Read This." Navier Said, Passing The Paper To Me. "Hm?" I Took The Paper And Started Reading It.

Duke Tuania Petitioned For His Divorce With With The Duchess To Be Made Void. He Wishes To Get Back Together With The Duchess.

"What Made The Duke Change His Mind?" I Mumbled.
