-Third Person POV

'Normally, an Emperor can appoint a Mistress or a Royal Mistress through a formal agreement between them. However, as the proposed Mistress in question is the Former Queen Consort...A Cabinet Meeting was held to handle this matter.' Navier thought as her gaze was on Krista for a moment as Miss Rose walked over to her bending down "That's him, Your Majesty. He's the one who refused to persuade Lady Krista even though His Majesty gave her a chance to withdraw her request." Miss Rose whispered into Navier's ear as she gazed at the male for a moment 'He must be Krista's father...Heinrey may seem cool and composed...But he must be distressed  deep down, since he keeps fussing over his hair.' Navier thought seeing Heinrey messing with his hair from the corner of her eye as Marquess Catron slammed his hand on the table standing up "His Late Majesty, King Walton III requested that you take care of Lady Krista with his dying breath! Wasn't it enough that Your Majesty humiliated your Sister-In-Law a day after your wedding? Are you going to shrink that  responsibility as well?!" He asked as Navier took Heinrey's while the men argued "For goodness' sake. I can't stand to listen to this any longer." Grand Duke Kaufman mumbled as he stood up surprising Navier 'Grand Duke Kaufman?! What's he planning to say...?' Navier thought nervously "I've been attempting to avoid meddling in another nation's affairs, but I simply can't ignore this matter because it involves me and The Empress of the Eastern Empire." Grand Duke Kaufman said 

Marquess Catron turned to him "What do you mean by that?!" He asked, "His Majesty was with me that night for a brief period, but he looked ill and Her Majesty, Empress Angelica offered to help him to his room informing a servant he was ill. And if you don't believe me, Her Majesty wrote me a letter of what happened" Grand Duke Kaufman said taking out the letter. "Dear Grand Duke Kaufman, It has come to my attention that you need me to recall what happened on the second day of the wedding reception for a certain affair in the Western Empire with Emperor Heinrey and Lady Krista. I was talking with the nobles for a while and decided to walk around the Palace, as I walked I came across you looking worried, and when I walked over asking you if anything was wrong. You told him Emperor Heinrey looked quite ill and was worried if he was ill, I told you I would take Emperor Heinrey to his room and inform a servant that he retired to his chambers looking ill. After that, I spotted Lady Krista walk into the empty room, Emperor Heinrey left and saw that she got on the floor and started to pet the air whispering Emperor Heinrey's name, I came across some Noble ladies who spotted it to and looked worried for the Former Queen Consort. I just then greeted the noble ladies and left the hall going back to the reception. I do hope this helps with whatever affair is going on and I wish you the best of health, Yours truly, Empress Angelica of the Eastern Empire." Grand Duke Kaufman said closing the letter.

Krista's eyes widened as Navier kept her face neutral. 'Heinrey, Angelica, and I are the only people who know where the Grand Duke really was that night. He did run into Rashta after ingesting the potion...But she's not here right now. He's trying to rescue Heinrey by doing this. He must have seen how it would affect me and Heinrey, so he asked Angelica for help to recall what happened that night.' Navier thought as Heinrey looked a bit nervous trying to keep his composer "As you know, our nations are preparing to set up a trade agreement. That's why I asked to speak with His Majesty alone. I'm sure many people have seen us leave the Reception Hall together." Grand Duke Kaufman said 'Now's the perfect time.' Navier thought and turned to Miss Rose "Miss Rose." Navier whispered as she nodded "Yes, Your Majesty." Miss Rose said as some of Krista's Ladies-In-Waiting the ones Navier won over walked inside "Lady Krista returned to her room in a hurry looking shocked and nervous." One Lady-In-Waiting said as Marquess Catron stood up "Urgh! They're...!" He was cut off "She looked upset and nervous when she entered her chambers and stayed there the whole night. I overheard the noble ladies speaking on her mental health saying that she might have gone crazy since the noble ladies who spotted her in the room alone claimed she said that Emperor Heinrey laid in her lap lovingly." She said as McKenna beamed with happiness as he clapped "You heard them. His Majesty never even interacted with Lady Krista at all. So he has no obligation to make her his Mistress or Royal Mistress." McKenna said as a gaval was banged meaning the meeting was officially over Krista's eyes widened in shock and nervousness, while Navier had a satisfied look on her face.
