*Weeks Later*
Avaenará POV:
Weeks after the banquet and ball I am now in my office signing some documents. Navier and I agreed to do trades with the empires.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the door to my office opened revealing Mira. "Your imperial majesty, the dukes have arrived." I nodded. "Let them in."

One by one they walked through the door. "You may leave us now Mira." "Of course imperial empress." Once the door closed I spoke. "I've made a decision."

The seven looked at me. "We shall spread the information about Rashta and her child after the New Year Ceremony." The seven seemed to be surprised. "Are you sure imperial empress? Especially weeks after they banquet and ball with the stunt the mistress pulled?" Hobi worriedly asked.

RM walked over and bowed. "I shall support you in any decisions you make. But I worry for doing it so soon." I smiled. "I understand you're worried. All of you. But sooner or later the empire shall know. And soon it will spread to every other kingdom, empire, and region in the world."

"And what if the mistress finds out we know of her secret? What if she threatens you?" V asks. "We shall not think of that now. The people already hate her. She wouldn't dare to do anything to me. And Sovieshu wouldn't dare to defy me." I state.

"After the announcement Rashta will fall. Not only has she abandoned her child she also tinkered in state affairs and toyed with the empire jewels. Which can lead her to treason." I tell them.

They all nod in acknowledgement. "I know this may be sudden but I believe this is what's best for the empire. I hope you still be by my side once we enter this battle."

"We shall be by your side till the end of time."
