-Third Person POV-

Navier sat in a rocking chair in her room quietly rocking back and forth 'Just because Heinrey hasn't said anything...Doesn't mean he isn't secretly wishing for a child. He needs an heir to strengthen his authority. What if I'm indeed infertile?' Navier thought looking down "Your Majesty, His Majesty is here to see you." Laura said as Navier rose to her feet "Already?" She muttered 'It's not dinner time yet. Why is he so early?' Navier thought as Laura let Heinrey inside and she soon left 'From the looks of it, it's nothing good.' Navier thought watching Heinrey rush into the room looking nervous "Is something the matter?" Navier asked once Heinrey was in front of her "I have some unpleasant news to share with you. You have gotten a letter from Angelica that, that woman could be plotting to kill your parents." Heinrey said handing the open letter to Navier to read "To Her Majesty Empress Navier, My dear sister, It is with a heavy heart that I write you today, compelled by whispers I can no longer ignore. There are troubling reports suggesting that Royal Mistress Rashta may be plotting to endanger our parents. I cannot yet confirm the truth of it, but the mere possibility was too grave for me to stay silent. I urge you to be cautious. Strengthen their protection and remain vigilant, even if this proves to be nothing more than rumor. I would rather be wrong than regret silence. Please forgive the intrusion, but know this comes from a place of care and loyalty. Always yours, Angelica Empress of the Eastern Empire."

Navier read the letter before looking back up at Heinrey "Why would she do that?" She asked making a Heinrey shake his head "I'm not sure." He replied looking away 'Is she targeting them because she can't get to me or get to Angelica? Or...' Navier's thoughts trailed off as she looked up at Heinrey "She probably see's my family as a threat to her child, since hers will be second to Angelica's baby in every way, and or they might mistreat her child if Angelica adopts the baby, which they never will." Navier said making Heinrey nod "That's my suspicion  as well." Heinrey replied taking Navier's hand into his "There's no need to worry. My subordinate is working undercover as her hired assassin. He's been given ample time to fulfill the contract, so it's not an immediate threat." Heinrey said making Navier let out a relief sigh "at least, there's that. But I can't just do nothing, and If Angelica doesn't know for sure." Navier said clenching her fists together as Heinrey looked at her stunned "Why do you look so surprised?" Navier asked making Heinrey laugh softly "I didn't expect you to take matters into your own hands. You generally avoided anything to do with her back in the Eastern Empire." Heinrey said "True. I deliberately steered clear of her. But the circumstances have changed." Navier answered 'When she was a normal powerless Mistress dependent on Sovieshu...He bore the responsibility for whatever she did. But now that she's a Royal Mistress...She needs to be held accountable for her actions.' Navier thought.

Navier perched onto a chair with a male sat down across from her 'I know that Angelica used the checks I gave her donated in the Imperial Families name, but I gave Rashta the same amount to help her the commoners.' Navier thought turning her gave to Florencio "I understand you do business with Vayer Consortium." Navier questioned as he nodded "That's correct, Your Majesty." Florencio answered "The next time you trade with them, I want you to carefully scrutinize their checks." Navier said making him slightly nervous "Their checks...?" He questioned making her nod her head "You just need to give them a little scare." Navier said "Um...Is that all you need me to do?" He asked looking at Navier "Yes, that's all." Navier answered as the Florencio stood up bowing "As you wish, Your Majesty." He said walking out of the room as Navier watched 'She schemed to push me and my brother out back when she was a mere normal Mistress. I didn't fight then...But now She'll have a whole set of problems to deal with.' Navier thought with a cold look on her face.
