her obedient servant. | remarried empress x f!reader

- ; [ 035 ]

From the corner of your eyes, you see Navier smiling, covering it with a hand as she looks away.

'Oh my, she's enjoying the situation.'

This is the first time you've seen her indulge in someone else's sorrow.

You smirk, deciding to avoid stepping in since your Queen was enjoying the show.

"HEINLEY, YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A SCOUNDREL AND A WOMANIZER! YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF NAVIER'S TRUSTING NATURE AND SEDUCED HER, DIDN'T YOU!?" The Emperor finally looses it, grabbing hold of the bars in the gates and shaking it with rage.

"I was the one who proposed that we get married." Navier intervenes, a serious look washed over the mischievous one she had moments ago.

Sovieshu holds his ground, "Is taking his side important that you'd lie to do it?"

You scoff, "Is Rashta so important that you'd divorce your own wife for her?" You throw his words back at him, watching his eyes fill with guilt.

"Are you doing this to get revenge? Did you deliberately choose this young playboy to make me angry because I hate him?" The Ravennett is still angry despite being called out for his hypocrisy.

"No." Navier answers firmly.

"You don't have to ruin your life to get your revenge."

"My life was almost ruined by you. But Heinley won't ruin my life."

Sovieshit rolls his eyes, "He's using you."

"Actually, we're both using each other."

The two men look at Navier in shock, although Heinley hides it better than Sovieshu.

"There's no need for you to be shocked. We now lead separate lives, so your Majesty should return to the person you want to be with." The Queen turns her heels to leave, but Sovieshu continues his temper tantrum.

"The person I want to be with is you, Navier!"

Gosh, just imagine what would ensue if Rashta heard that.

"But you were the one who took me to court for divorce?" She raises an eyebrow, as if questioning his declaration of apparent love for her.

"Thats..!" He goes quiet for a moment, "I didn't divorce you so that you could marry some young scoundrel who knows nothing about you."

You turn towards Heinley, who stares at the floor with his head in the clouds, seemingly not paying attention to the conversation.

'Is he upset because Navier said they were both using each other?'

She discreetly tugs on his sleeve, bringing him back to reality.

"But now I have plenty of time to get to know Navier." He chuckles, eliciting an angry yell of his name from the oh-so high Emperor of the Eastern Empire.

He's about to spit out more hateful words but his secretary stops him, noticing the large audience beginning to watch. He stomps away in defeat.

"That was.." You sweat, "Certainly odd."

"Let's head inside." Navier hums, satisfied with the outcome of the arguement.

After assisting the Troby family leave the mansion under the disguise of a servant, it was clear that the knights were only focused on preventing you, Navier, and Heinley from leaving.

Your adoptive masters had requested an audience with Sovieshu, but he refused to meet them, knowing they'd request for him to dismiss the knights stationed.

"Have you already sent Mckenna to file an official complaint from the Western Empire?" You sigh, drinking a cup of tea to relieve the headache you'd been enduring for the past few days.

"Yes, the Emperor should let me leave in a few days." Heinley answers, sitting across from you and sipping on his own cup of tea.

"I have a plan to help Navier leave, but unfortunately, I'm not sure what I could do for you." Of course he was merely teasing you. There was no way he'd let you stay trapped here when Navier was close with you.

He's about to confess it's a joke until you throw a piece if crumbled table cloth at him with irritate.

"Whatever, I have a plan anyway."

"Huh?"
