What if instead of one Mistress there were 2?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Angelica was a runaway slave since her birth, but what happens when a 6-year-old Angelica ran into Duchess Trovi? The Duchess felt...
'I'm glad that Angelica was able to find the bird once it was shot down. But it still is weird, His Majesty never asked for any massager birds to be shot down...So who ordered one to be shot or who shot the bird.' Navier thought hearing the snap of the quill in her hand making her jolt at the noise "Your Majesty...Perhaps you should take the day off." A servant said as Navier handed her the broken quill she shook her head "No, I'm alright" Navier said taking another quill and dipping it into the ink, and starting to write 'I didn't do anything embarrassing...In front of the bluebird. Could Queen...Also, be another one of Heinrey's subordinates?!' Navier's eyes widened heating another snap getting up and walked out of her office early walking back to her room but hearing some squabbling near her room 'What the...?' She thought and spotted her three Ladies-In-Waiting and a young man with something next to him. "No! We can't accept it! You can come back later when Her Majesty returns!" Laura exclaimed in anger "But..." The male said with a sigh "What's going on?" Navier asked walking over and making the male turn to her beaming with happiness and they bowed "Your Majesty." They all said as Navier gestured to the thing next to the male "Did you bring me something?" Navier asked curiously as the male gave her a big grin "Yes, Your Majesty. His Majesty has asked me to bring a gift." He said "A gift?" Navier said confused as she grabbed the cloth covering it and pulled it off to reveal a lovely-looking bluebird making her look annoyed 'What...Is he trying to do...? I know the bird is alright. Why send me this one?' Navier thought "I have no intention of keeping this bird. Take it back." Navier said making the male nod and walk away with the bird.

(To clarify Rashta does know about the divorce and thinks she will be Empress)
-In Rashta's Room-
----------------------------------------------
-Third Person POV-
Rashta paced around her room holding a big teddy breath in her arms 'He sent over a gift instead of telling her he's divorcing her. I don't understand what he's thinking.' Rashta's thoughts were cut off by hearing a creak making her walk over to open her door and peek outside seeing the young man with the birdcage and looking inside at the beautiful bird making her eyes sparkle "What's that?" Rashta asked gaining the male's attention as Rashta walked over "It's a bird that His Majesty gave Her Majesty as a gift." He said, "Then why are you taking it back?" Rashta asked "Well...Her Majesty ordered me to do so." He said nervously as Rashta stared at the bird "I see..." Rashta mumbled before putting on her cute/worried-looking act "His Majesty is still busy, so you'd have to leave the bird in the corridor. It still gets cold in the evening." Rashta said making the male freak out a little. Rashta smirked softly and smiled at him "Leave it with me. I'll return it to him." Rashta said making the male nod walking into her room with the birdcage and soon left as Rashta stared at the bird rubbing its feathers with its beak 'It looks even bigger and fancier than the bird that Duke Ergi has.' Rashta thought and soon locked sad opening the latch to the cage "Sorry about this." She said sticking her hand inside the cage and grabbing onto the feathers snatching them off the bird making it screech out in pain flapping around in its cage and glaring at Rashta as she stepped back with the blue feathers in her hands, she turned her back to the bird walking over to her bed 'How did things end up like this? Why am I being forced to act like this.' Rashta thought placing the feathers on the inside of the pillowcase on her bed
'If only... Her Majesty and Lady Angelica didn't hate me.' Rashta thought imagining all three of them in the garden having tea together smiling and laughing together like sisters 'If only Lady Angelica hadn't tried to harm my unborn child with their brother.' Rashta thought tears falling down her eyes as she sat down on the bed sobbing, soon Sovieshu walked in hearing Rashta crying "What's the matter, Rashta?" Sovieshu asked while she pointed to the bird missing some of its feathers, which gained his attention "Why's the bird...What happened to its feathers?" Sovieshu asked walking over to the cage and turning his gaze onto Rashta who was still crying while wiping away the tears "I don't know. I simply brought the bird into my room when I saw it being returned from the West Palace. I didn't want it to get cold." Rashta said. Rashta soon turned to him "Since Her Majesty doesn't want the bird...Do you mind if I keep it instead? Please? I just feel so sorry for it. I want to look after it." Rashta said walking over to him as he tried to keep his annoyed face hidden from her begging "Why would you want a bird that someone else rejected? I'll buy you a new one." Sovieshu said making Rashta cry more "I can't just let it go like this! Its life is precious, too!" Rashta exclaimed as Sovieshu shook his head "I won't abandon it" He said shocking Rashta "Pardon?" She asked, "I'm going to keep it." Sovieshu said as Rashta looked at him confused and a little annoyed "W-Why...Why would you keep a bird that the Empress rejected?" Rashta asked watching him push the cage out of the room 'Is he not that angry?! Could he...Still have feelings for her?!' Rashta thought 'Maybe Angelica would like it. She did say she likes birds and if Navier does want it, she might.' Soviesht thought walking out.
What they didn't know was that a shadow was watching them with a smirk and soon disappeared.
