-Third Peron POV-

Navier laid in a chair after her whole conversation with Grand Duke Kaufman and soon Angelica walked in "Was the Grand Duke Kaufman? He looked sad." Angelica said as she walked over and sat down on a chair as a voice called out to them inside the room "Navier! Angelica!" Both Angelica and Navier turned to see who it was and they saw Kosair with a huge grin 'Kosair!' They both thought as he went over to them and pulled them into a hug as two ladies laid the gifts on the table "Navier, your shoulders are damp." Kosair said confusing Navier as they pulled away from the hug and Angelica looked at Navier's shoulder "Brother Kosair is right, your shoulder has teardrop marks on it." Angelica said worried that someone made Navier cry. 'Was the Grand Duke crying?' Navier thought as Kosair looked at her worried "I heard that you became the Mistress of the Emperor, Angelica. Is he treating you right?" Kosair asked turning to look at Angelica who nodded with a smile "Yup. Sister Navier has been a big help with adjusting too." Angelica said as Kosair turned back to Navier "It's because of that first Mistress right? You don't look very happy." Kosair said and soon went into a rage "Where is she?!" He exclaimed as Navier and Angelica quickly went over to him trying to calm him down. 

"Kosair, please don't be like that. What's all this?" Navier asked pointing to the gifts as Angelica went over to look at the gifts with sparkling eyes while Navier tried to calm Kosair down "They're presents for you and Angelica. They won't go anywhere, so you can open them later. Is that woman with him?" Kosair asked looking around as Navier internally freaked out "Kosair! Why do you even want to know?" Navier asked as Angelica's gaze went onto Kosair and Navier as she listened to their conversation thinking of a plan. "I'm going to kill that woman." Kosair said which alarmed both Navier and Angelica "Please watch what you say, Kosair. Other people may use your words against you even if you only said them in anger." Navier said as Kosair looked at her "But I meant what I said. Fine, then I'll just make sure that baby is never born." Kosair said Making Angelica shake her head their gaze turning to her "Your punishment will become more severe if you do something to the baby! Please calm down." Angelica said with Navier nodding agreeing with him Kosair was fuming with anger, and soon Angelica picked up two gift boxes "Please help us open Brother Kosair's presents, Countess Eliza." Angelica asked and Navier opened a gift and pulled out a hat placing it on her head with a smile.

-Angelica's Gift-

----------------------------------------------

Countess Eliza helped Angelica put on the necklace and Angelica walked over to Navier standing next to her as they faced Kosair wearing the gifts he got them "How do we look, Kosair?" They asked with a smile, soon they noticed that Kosair wasn't looking at them and was holding the planner for Rashta's Pregnancy Banquet both Angelica and Navier's eyes widened 'Oh, dear!' Navier thought and quickly ran over to Kosair who kept the planner out of Navier's reach "Kosair!" Navier exclaimed trying to grab the planner "Why do you have to hold a banquet for that woman?" Kosair asked, Navier looked up at him "I'm in charge of all banquets in the palace, and that includes any that are held in her honor. Angelica is helping me with the planning." Navier said worried about his reaction Kosair looked at her trying to control his anger as Angelica walked over and he tossed the planner in Navier's hand "The hat looks good on you Navier. And the necklace looks nice on you Angelica." Kosair said as he walked out of Navier's room leaving both girls worried. Soon Angelica left once it hit night, Navier looked at her reflection 'Thankfully, Kosair has been keeping a low profile for the past few days. But it is likely that he's merely holding back on my account...Because it would be damaging to me if he were to make his anger known to Sovieshu or Rashta. When I think about it, there's really nothing much I can do.' Navier thought with a sigh 'If I lash out at Rashta, then I become a cowardly woman who takes her anger out on a poor Mistress while not daring to say anything to the Emperor. On the other hand, the moment I show Rashta more anger than people deem appropriate...People will accuse me of not being able to handle my own emotions, despite it being my duty to do so as an Empress. But if I put up with both of them without doing anything...Then I look foolish and idiotic.' Navier thought.

Soon a knock filled the room and Countess Eliza walked in and walked over to Navier and told her what had happened in the Western Kingdom Navier walked out to the balcony and looked at the night sky 'Prince Heinrey...He must be racked with grief right now...' Navier thought as it started to rain and she saw something coming towards her and she saw the bluebird 'Queen's subordinate?' Navier thought as the bluebird landed on the railing and glanced at Navier "You are Queen's friend, right?" Navier asked the bluebird making it nod its head with a chirping sound and he lifted his leg making Navier untie the note tied on his leg. Navier read over the note her cheeks flushed up red as the bluebird laid down on the table 'Prince Heinrey...' Navier thought and lifted her pen/quill and started to write a note back 'Is there anything I can say that will be a source of comfort for him? If only I was able to be by his side...' Navier thought as she sighed making the bluebird chirp in worry as she wrote down the note and tied it back onto the bird's leg and letting him fly away.
