Remarried Empress Kosair x OC

Chapter 7

Right now, Lilliana is sitting with Navier, as they chat.

"Your Highness, did you give up on finding out who you were exchanging letters with?" A noblewoman asks Heinrey, as they sit at another table near them.

"I'm afraid so, since they haven't revealed themselves so far, I think they must want to keep their identity a secret." Heinrey replied.

"But you must still be disappointed..."

"I don't want to make them uncomfortable." He said, before giving a smile to Navier, as Lilliana silently smirk at their interaction.

But then, murmuring is heard, causing Lilliana to look to see the Captain of the Royal Guard arrive, as he walks up to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you may wish to come to the Grand Banquet Hall for a moment." He said, leaning down. 

"Is something the matter?" Sovieshu asks.

"Well..."

"Take me there immediately." Sovieshu said, getting up, as he leave with the captain.

'Goodness, what has happened?' Lilliana wondered, before slightly frowning. 'It might not be important since he didn't need to call Navier, but why do I feel that it includes that mistress of his.'

It was finally night, as Lilliana walked down the hallway, she then saw Delilah walking up to her.

"What happened?" She asks.

"It's Miss Rashta." Delilah said. "Naomi send news that Rashta collasped out of shock."

'Even if I'm not fond of that woman, I need to know the truth so I can be aware.' She thought. "Very well then, let us meet up with Ashlynn and Naomi."

They continued before arriving at the Grand Baquet Hall.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Ashlynn called out, rushing over to her with Naomi. "You won't believe what happened! Please, have some dessert, this is the icing on the cake!"

Lilliana smiled and took the plate of cake, she begin to slowly eat it.

"It turns out that Rash really is a runaway slave, she belonged to Viscount Lotesshu's family!" Naomi dramatically said. "Viscount Lotteshu showed up and recognized her, then blurted out the truth to everyone! And since the Emperor wasn't there, nobody tried to stop him!"

"It was bound to happen." Lilliana simply said. "The truth always come to light."

Delilah was walking down the halls, holding a tray that had a tea set and some treats.

'I'm sure hearing what happened must have tired Her Majesty out, hopefully, some tea and treats should help Her Majesty relax.' She thought, before she saw Viscount Lotteshu. 'Viscount Lottteshu? What is he doing here?'

Viscount Lotteshu entered Rashta's chambers, surprising her before her face turn into a small smirk. She continued walking until she arrived at Lilliana's bedroom, she entered and set the tea set on the table where Lilliana is sitting, as Lilliana notice the look Delilah's face.

"What? Why are you smirking?" She asks, as Delilah's smirk widened.

"Your Majesty." She curtsied, before whispering something in Lilliana's ear.

Lilliana's eyes widened, turning to Delilah in shock before she had a small smirk.

"See what's going on." She said, as Delilah nodded, before leaving the bedroom.

She easily walked down the hallway before going to a room, she quietly lean her ear on the wall.

"Still...at least I'm keeping the baby you left behind a secret, aren't I?" She heard Viscount Lotteshu said, making her cover her mouth to quiet her gasp.
