BELAMOUR | Remarried Empress x Reader

02 | ❝ UNBELIEVABLE ❞ ✨ ೃ༄

"His majesty the emperor has kindly allowed me to reside in the eastern Palace." Rashta said.

"Ah you're the slave?" Navier asked lowering her hand, staring down at the slave. "W-well I. ."

"Your Majesty!" A maid that had accompanied Rashta jumped forward to defend her "Please forgive ng forwardness. But Lady Rashta is not a slave."

"Is that so?" Y/n smiled as Navier cautiously turned to the woman who's smile though bright, held not welcoming warmth.

"Then care to explain her mysterious origins?"

"No but-"

"Then let's agree that she may or may not be a runaway slave like how she may or may not be a commoner. Either way" she clasped her hands,

"that should not excuse her lack of manners towards her Majesty."

The maid stepped back, her mouth open as she was left speechless having finally noticed the dark aura that surrounded her body.

"Y/n" Navier called to her, as if telling her to stop right there. She merely smiled at the Empress this time a bit more genuine.

"I-i was wondering when I should go and meet you." Rashta said when the group turned to her once more, she was nervous most likely because of Y/n stressing the words 'runaway slave.'

"Meet me?"

"Either way, we'll be seeing each other all the time soon! So I think it's best to meet each other first."

"What should I call you?"

"Just call me 'Your Majesty.'"

"Huh?" It seemed it wasn't the answer she was expecting.

"That should suffice." Navier turned yet Rashta seemed to have something more to say as she raised her hand but it was quickly slapped away by Laura who was pissed.

"How rude!"

"How dare you act this way to her Majesty." She scolded "How Filthy."

Navier flinched noticing an approaching group. "Who are you calling filthy?"

"What do you mean by that?"

They bowed towards the male, yet Y/n didn't bother to bent her body full way as she had quickly raised her head to stare at him.

"Rashta!" She watched as he walked passed Navier in favor of approaching her. The sounds of slight sadness and anger that Navier tried to hide had hurt y/n as well as she felt angrier at Sovieshu.

"There there. . Don't cry." He softly muttered taking his coat off to drape it around Rashta who was crying on the ground, looking helpless.

'Laura's slap was directed at her hand and wasn't even that strong to throw that girl on the ground' her brows furrowed.

"No matter how much I console you. . You are such a handful" his head had caressed her cheek and wiped away the waterworks 'then why the hell don't you keep an eye on her properly? It saves us from a lot of trouble.'
