3rd POV
"Yes, she is your lady-in-waiting. But, she is also a citizen of MY empire," Sovieshit said.
He motioned the guards to come.
"Lock her up for three days."
Laura's face turned to pure horror while Trashta smirked.
"You majesty, that's quite excessive!" Navier shouted
"Excessive?"
"This girl is injured and under my care. Yet your lady-in-waiting called her a filthy wench," Soveishit said.
Soveishit glared at Navier, "But you still think my punishment excessive?"
"No, your majesty! I-It's not excessive at all!" Laura shouted.
"Laura...!" Navier turned her head towards Laura.
"It seems we're finished here then. You may take your leave," Soveishit said, wrapping his around Trashta as they walked away.
Navier looked at them as they left before she clenched her fist. Y/n then notices this before gently tugging her dress, "Mama?"
3 Days Laters
I personally went up to the tower Laura had been locked away in and brought her back.
I then had her bathed in my room...
...And had just finished preparing her favorite desserts...
...Had her play with N/n to relieve some stress...
...When...
"His Majesty wants to see me?" Navier asked.
She held a teacup with her knuckles on her chin.
"Pardon me for interrupting, but yes...His order was to take you to him immediately," The man said.
Navier sighed, "Fine."
"Let's go."
Soveishit sat on the chair as the man brought Navier, "Her majesty is here to see you, your majesty."
"You called?" Navier asked.
"Ah, yes. Empress. You may leave," Soveishit motioned the man to leave.
"I heard you insisted on personally escorting the girl I'd locked up," Sovieshit said, "Did you really have to?"
"Are you asking why I had to personally attend to her when you expressly had her punished?" Navier asked.
"So you know...And you still tended to her...When you should have had her thrown out instead," Sovieshit said.
"You know how N/n gets when Laura isn't around in her need at playtime," Navier said, "But it's also unjust to throw out a servant punished for being devoted to me and to my child. Moreover, her actions were well within the bounds of common sense."
Soveishit stands up from his chair, "So. You insist on keeping by your side just for Y/n's sake?"
She'll already be a laughingstock for being punished for having a sharp word with a mere runaway slave who is yet to even be a mistress
"Who I appoint as my lady-in-waiting is my prerogative," Navier said.
But if I also have her exiled from the court, she'll be ostracized from society. Laura got punished because I'd been outdone by Rashta that time, but this is as far as it goes.
"This quibble with you tires me," Sovieshit rubs his temple, "Why can't you just obediently do as I say for once, and let us have a peaceful moment with Y/n?"
What?
Obediently do as you say?
"The empress...is not someone who is here to be at your beck and command, Your Majesty," Navier clenched her dress.
"That's why I can't help but compare you two!" Sovieshit turned to her as he shouted.
Compare me?
...With whom?
"I'm tired you may go," Sovieshit said.
Navier then left the room as Soveishit plopped down on the couch, and rested his eyes a little. Before he felt something poke his face.
He then opened his eyes to see a tiny head poke out of behind the couch. He smirked, "N/n, I can see you."
Y/n then pokes her head out with a pout, "You're always good at finding me."
Soveishit chuckles before motioning her to sit with her. She then waddled her way over the sofa and plopped herself onto his chest with a giggle.
"Did you eat anything today?" Soveishit asked with a soft tone.
Y/n shook her head, "I was waiting to eat with you."
Soveishit chuckles, "I would take your daddy's girls?"
Y/n giggles as Soveishit pinches her cheek softly, "I'll order us some food."
Soveishit then rang a small bell and the two heard a annoying voice, "Have you two called?"
"...Your majesty?"
"Rashta? Since when have you worked as an attendant?" Soveishit softly smiled at Trashta.
Y/n then notices before frowning a little, before getting up and starting to head her way to the door.
"Where are you going, little one?" Soveishit asked Y/n who turned around.
"I remember that I have to do something with Mama," Y/n said.
Soveishit sighed before smiling at her, "Alright, I'll play with you later okay?"
Y/n nods with a big smile," Okay!"
The door closes as Soveishit pulls Trashta close to her.
"So, you will make me your mistress?" Trashta asked.
"That's right."
"It seemed the empress and the young miss didn't know..." Trashta said.
"It's not matter. There's no rush, is there? We'll take it slow."
