I am not a royal born. I'm a bastard. Being the Queen wasn't seen in my future. The plague ruin Xiao. Their royal highness, The King and The Queen, dead. Not one of their 3 children lived. Expect me. The bastard child of King Julian.

Queen...
"Your Highness, you have a guest waiting in your office," Ko announced
Katherine looked over at him. Loose strands of hair fell in her face as she looked at Ko.
"And who is this guest?" Katherine asked
"Kana," He announced
Katherine's grip on the sword tightened. Why is she here?
"Lin, you can leave. Ko, keep an eye on Kana while I get dressed," Katherine ordered
Lin took the sword from Katherine's grasp. Katherine walked back to her room. Once she arrived, she changed out of her thights and camisole into a white & black, below the knee dress with black heels.

"Is Kana in there?" Katherine asked Ko as reacher her office while she smoothing out her dress
"Yes,"
Katherine opened the door. Kana was staring at the painting of her three times grandfather.
"What do I owe the pleasure for you being here, Kana?" Katherine broke the silence
Kana turned her head to Katherine.
"Oh, well isn't it my beloved cousin," Kana said, smirking
"What are you doing here, Kana?" Katherine got to the point
"I came here to warn you about your title," Kana said
"What about my title?" Katherine asked, keeping a distance from Kana
"You may be Queen, but you're a bastard. Not born from two royals," Kana sneered
"I may be a bastard child, but I have beaten you for the title," Katherine replied, glaring at Kana
"This kingdom will be mine. As I fit all the requirements," Kana said, picking up a book and examining it
"That won't happen. Now if you excuse yourself, I'll appreciate it," Katherine announced
"You've been warned," Kana left the room
Katherine groans in frustration. How did she enter the castle? Katherine strictly told the staff to not let Kana or Christopher enter. Katherine pushes the button and Ko came in.
"Ko, I want all the staff in the dining room immediately," Katherine ordered
"Yes, your highness," Ko said and left
Katherine stayed for a couple of minutes to calm down and left the room and walked to the dining room, where half of the staff is filing in. Katherine sat and waited for all the staff to pile in. Once everybody was in the room, Katherine stood and stared at the staff.
"Kana was here just over an hour ago. All of you know, not to let Kana or Christopher enter the castle. Now, I'm going to only ask once, who met Kana in?" Katherine announced
She kept an eye on the staff, "Rye! Stop there!"
Katherine push through the sea of staff and to Rye, who was being held by three of the staff.
"Rye, why would you go against the orders of your Queen?" Katherine asked
"You're not my Queen! Kana is! She knows how to rule a kingdom and what's important for the people," Rye spat at Katherine
"I hope you like the dungeons," Katherine sneered
Rye's eyes widened as the staff pulled him out of the room.
"You have been warned," Katherine said to all the staff, walking out of the room
"Your majesty, may I ask what will happen to Rye?" Ko asked
"Why do you ask, Ko? You already know the punishment," Katherine said, walking away
