-Third Person POV-

"Navier is the Queen of the Western Kingdom?" Sovieshu asked as Count Firnir stood in front of his desk "That's right. She's currently staying at the Palace." Count Firnir said as Sovieshu nodded with a smile "I'm glad she is settling in well there." Sovieshu said as Marquess Karl walked in once Count Firnir left "I have decided to to move my wedding to a closer date, whatever Angelica wants during the wedding make it happen." Sovieshu said as Marquess Karl nodded "What is the current state of the public opinion on Angelica?" Sovieshu asked, "The public already had a high opinion of her in the first place...But now she's even more popular than ever." Marquess Karl said as Sovieshu nodded 'Members of High Society do try to get on Anelica's good side. She knows how to handle herself, so I don't need to worry about someone trying to embarrass her.' Sovieshu thought with a smile as he handed a scroll to Baron Lante next to him "Give this to Rashta. It's the least I can do since she will be staying here until the birth of my child" Sovieshu said as Baron Lante nodded and left the office.

-In Rashta's Office-

-Third Person POV-

Rashta sat in a chair in front of her fake parents and Viscountess Verdi walked in gaining her attention "Lady Rashta. Baron Lante is here." She said, "We should get going then." Viscountess Marsha said as Rashta smiled softly 'They're very tactful. I want to look after them, not just because the Duke told me to...But because they're so good to me.' Rashta thought as she stood up along with Viscountess and Viscount Ishka as well "Mother, Father, I'll see you very soon" Rashta said as Viscountess Verdi opened the door and Baron Lante walked in "You don't have to leave." Baron Lante said as Rashta turned to him "Why's that?" Rashta asked as Baron Lante just gave her a smile and offered the scroll to her which confused Rashta as she took it and began reading it 'Vis...Count...I...Shka. Mi...nister...' Rashta thought as it clicked in her mind "Minister of State Affairs? His Majesty has appointed you as the Minister of State Affairs, Father!" Rashta exclaimed happily as she turned to her fake parents. "Minister." Viscount Gilimit mumbled before turning to his wife who had a surprised face as well "Minister of State Affairs?!" They said surprised. Rashta squealed happily 'His Majesty still loves me! He may be appointing that witch as Empress but He still cares for me!' Rashta thought and hugged both Viscountess and Viscount Ishka as they hugged her back "We've merely held on to our title and never had a special role in government bestowed upon us. Evidently, good things happen when you have an exceptional daughter." Viscount Gilimt said, "You're our treasure, Rashta." Viscountess Marsha said as Baron Lante looked at them touched 'She is a Lady who was separated from her parents at a young age and went through so much hardship. And they are a couple who spent all their money looking for their missing daughter. They were dramatically reunited after ten years. They have such a bright future that lies before them.' Baron Lante thought as he tried to wipe his tears away while Rashta comforted him "Oh my. Aww, don't cry, Baron Lante." Rashta said, "Everything will work out well from now on." He said 'I can still be in power without being the Empress. And I'll make that witch pay for stealing my spot.' Rashta thought with a hidden smirk under her smile.
