"Ah, so you're The fugitive slave everyone's been talking about."

No Ones POV
Once Y/N said those words, it appeared as if time had stopped, and no one dared to speak or move. That was until the air became thick with tension.
"S-slave?!?, rashta isn't a slave,"
the so-called Mistress began to cry.
Though the princess was taken aback when the'mistress' began crying over a simple statement, she quickly regained her composure and carefully considered her next words so as not to make a mistake with the emperor's mistress which could jeopardize their relationship between the two empires.
A startling voice stopped the princess in her tracks as she was about to speak.
"Rasta, what's going on? What's the matter with you?"
As he approached them, the emperor inquired, wrapping rashta in an embrace to console her.
"It appears that I have misunderstood myself, Your Majesty, for which I apologize terribly."
The princess bowed  her head down as a way to show respect and apologies, as she was doing so she noticed rashta's faint grin, which caused
Y/N's palm to clench.
"princess, what exactly have you misunderstood? If you could just tell me, I'd be grateful to clear up any misunderstandings."
With a small smile and a direct gaze on the princess, the emperor spoke, completely ignoring Rashta's expression of surprise.

It appeared as though the entire universe was on Y/N's side, as she felt victorious in her open attempt to ruin the 'mistress's day.
"I'm sure you've heard the rumors of your majesty's lover, and it appears as I have unfortunately misunderstood things as to assume rashta was actually a slave I am deeply sorry for my actions,"
the Princess said, but she truly wasn't, and she was sure to see Rashta's expression when she had her dear emperor wrapped around her finger, so to enrage her Even more Y/N, reached out and took the emperor's hand in both of hers, apologizing once more.
And, oh, was this a sight to behold. Rashta was a nervous wreck. Consider how you might be able to ruin her and his majesty's relationship. Her fingers were sweating, her hands were trembling, and she nervously bit her upper lip. This did not sit well with her. The word "like" didn't come to mind...
She despised it, and she had no choice but to get rid of you, to make his Majesty despise you, and to exile you from the empire.
Even better, as she had this fantasy, she could get rid of you herself. Going on where she would become the Empress of the Eastern Empire, and she had a complete strategy to accomplish so, but you could be a stumbling block to her plan.

The emperor was surprised by your swift action, but he didn't seem to mind; in fact, he seemed to love it. He thought you were perfect, an innocent Princess who had only recently been unleashed into the cruel world and was beautiful in every aspect. You were pristine, a delicate Flower who required special attention.
He was completely incorrect, but He didn't need to know, and you'd keep it that way for as long as you needed.
"It's all right Princess, you seem to have misunderstood the matter; rashta is not a slave; I merely rescued her from one of my bear traps and took her to the empire; as emperor, it is my responsibility to ensure that the people in my empire are treated fairly."
There were a few things wrong with what the emperor just stated, but the part where he forgot to say that he made rashta his mistress stood out the most. Though it was not required, it was nonetheless unfit for him to not mention it.
"Oh, that makes a lot more sense. Please accept my sincere apologies for misinterpreting Lady rashta, Your Majesty ".

Those very words that just came out of your lips were so sour, and you despised having to speak so highly of a mere peasant who was only here for power, and you were SURE you'd be the one to expose her devious methods.
"Excuse me, your Majesty, but I don't want to eat a cold dinner." You dropped your head and fled away to your makeshift quarters.
You had no right to interfere in the Eastern empire's quarrel between the emperors' Mistress and Her Majesty the Empress, but you were not going to allow Rashta triumph in a million years.
You were going to devise a strategy, but you couldn't do it all by yourself, of course, but that was a concern for later.
"Princess? Are you all right? Do you dislike your food because you've been staring at it for a long time? I can request that the maids do something more to your liking."
"No theres no need for that , thank you blythe".

As the days passed, you and the Mistress exchanged no words and You'd like to keep it that way for a while.
"We must bathe and clothe you as fast as possible, Your Majesty. Being late would reflect poorly on you, and I'm sure you'll be one of the center of attention "Blythe remarked as she hurried around your chambers with the help of a few other maids, getting everything ready.
Yes, the new year's ceremony is just a few hours away; You had no idea what she meant by being the focus of attention at first, but given that no one has ever seen the princess of the Noven empire, You'll most likely be surrounded by a large number of nobles.
"Come on Princess, the bath tub is waiting for you."
You smelt like clary sage after your relaxing bath. With a hint of (F/S) as the maids put on a (F/C) corset on top of the corset, you were dressed in a beautiful Floor Length (F/C) dress with (F/D) littered around the dress and Long sleeves as it was a little chilly around the palace, and your hair was (H/S) with a hair pin that had the Noven empire Crest. You would always wear it as it belonged to the late empress, your mother, and it represented you wherever you went, no matter what the occasion was.

As you approached the main hall, your palms were sweating and a million thoughts raced through your mind; you were scared, of course; you'd never gone to an event like this before. Nonetheless, you held your head up, attempting to soothe your worries. When you got to the big double doors, Two guards waited on either side of the entrance while Blythe told them your name and other details, as they were the ones to announce all of the Special guests who had been invited to the new year's party, which included you.
"Are you ready, Princess Y/N?" Blythe inquired, to which you responded with a quick nod and anxiously awaited the guards' to announce your arrival.

"Now presenting Her Royal Highness Princess Y/N of the Noven Empire's arrival."
