Sisters in thrones

3rd POV

"Your Majesty!"

"It was just as we'd expected. His majesty will be appointing that girl as his mistress along with making her as Young Miss's 2nd mother!"

Navier's hand paused from grooming her hair, "He will?"

"While you've been busy all day preparing for The New Year's ceremony along with the young miss's birthday, his majesty has been busy preparing to take her as his mistress!" Laura exclaimed as she gripped the edge of her dress.

I have been steeling myself for when Sovieshu would make that girl his mistress...But I didn't realize she would also be announced as N/n's 2nd mother.

Navier's hand lands on Y/n's head, who sits on her lap playing with her beautiful mother's golden hair. 

"When will she be appointed?" Navier asked.

Eliza glanced at Navier before she sighed as she spoke, "According to the rumors, as soon as possible, before the new year's ceremony, and sadly...Have to be before on your young miss's birthday."

...

"After the prime minister hands his majesty the notarized document, his majesty will sign it first. And then you should sign below him."

A male places a paper in front of Trashta, "I understand...It's just that I...I don't have a signature."

"Oh, don't worry. You can make one right now," The male said.

Trashta fidgets in a cringy way, "Well...I.."

The male looked at her confused before he came to a realization, "Oh..! Could it be that you don't know how to write?"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. You can start learning," The male slides a piece of paper to Trashta.

"For today, I'll teach you how to write the letters of your name...Oh, that's right," The male said, "Her Majesty and Young Miss might send you a gift."

"A gift?" The Trash asked.

"The royal residence belongs to the empress. So according to custom, the empress sends the mistress a welcome gift to show that she recognizes the mistress and accepts her into the royal household."

"But of course, the empress has a young miss, soon to be the future empress of the east. Will dance for the mistress as a way to show her gratitude for the mistress's welcome."

Trashta's eyes sparkle in delight, "Do you think Her Majesty will give me a gift too along with a dance?"

...

"I will not," Navier said, the ladies-in-waiting's let out a relief sigh as Y/n gave her a thumbs up with a cat expression on her face. 

"What a relief. We were afraid you might send that girl a gift as custom dictates."

There are three main reasons an empress would send a mistress a gift first, if they are friends. Second, if the mistress is a high-ranking noble.  Or third, if the mistress is of the same bloodline as the empress.

But Rashta doesn't fall into any of these categories. So why do I go out of my way to send her a gift as well the same for my child? And am I to send it along with a message saying, "Please look after my husband"? It's ridiculous.

Navier glanced beside her to see Y/n gaze at her with worried eyes as she played the end of her dress. Navier calmly smiled, "Don't worry. There's no reason for me to send her one."

Y/n smiled happily as she hugged her mother. 

"If only Laura were here to hear you say that. Why, would've absolutory jumped for joy," One of the ladies-in-waiting said, "Oh, that's right!"

"Is the rumor true, your majesty?"

"Rumor?" Navier asked, her fingers danced around Y/n's luscious h/c hair. 

"That the prince from the western kingdom will be in attendance for this year's New Year's Ceremony."

"I heard he's absolutory gorgeous. That one look into his eyes is enough to captivate any woman! But I also heard he's as stubborn as a mule."

"He's caught up in a whirlwind of rumors of being involved with so many women. Yet the fact that he has fathered no children... Do you think the rumor about him being a seedless watermelon is true?"

"But in any case, is he coming?!" The Ladies-in-waiting hovered over the beautiful queen and princess.

Navier giggles, "I can't verify the truth of those rumors, but, yes, he is coming to this year's New Year's Ceremony."

Knock-knock

The front door of the room was knocked on as Navier spoke, "Come in."

A male servant entered the room with a big chest in his hands, "Your majesty, Grand Duke Rylan Roth of Winchester sends his regards with a gift of the finest silks and bows in all the eastern empire for the young miss!"

He's at it again.

"Tell him I'm grateful, but that just his regards are enough as well with my child," Navier sighed.

Grand Duke Rylan Roth of Winchester is an extended family member of Sovieshu...Who has no interest in the throne, but has a strong thirst for power. He regularly sends bribes to my daughter so he can try to request special favors in return as a marriage proposal for my daughter to gain that thirst.

"He's a determined one, isn't he?" Eliza asked.

"Yes, he is."

"Come, take a break, your majesty. It's teatime," Eliza said.

...

Navier sighed in relaxation as she took a sip, "How fragrant."

"Would you like some too, young miss," One of the ladies-in-waiting offered to Y/n who nodded eagerly.

"Pardon the interruption, your majesty." A male stepped into the room, "But Lady Rashta wishes to see you."

"...Rashta? She may enter," Navier said.

"Your majesty, it's so nice to see you again. It's me, Rashta!" Trashta beamed as she entered the room.

Luckily, hiding my emotions in unpleasant situations has become second nature to me.

"...Unlike the last time we met, his majesty has taken you as his mistress," Navier said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Trashta said.

......

"So, what brings you here?" Navier questioned.

"What brings me here? To see my sister, her majesty!"

Eliza splutters her tea as she coughed. Y/n looked at her confused with cookie crumbs on her lips before her gaze went on Trashta.

"...What? Sister?"

"We're sisters now because we have the same husband!" Trashta awfully beamed.

Y/n choked on her biscuit as the ladies-in-waiting worriedly gave her water and patted her back.

"What?" Navier said, appalled.

 "So...can I call you big sister from now on? It would also make my day if your daughter will accept me as her 2nd mother," Trashta disgustingly beamed lightly.
