The house of Trovi, the Family where I belong, Was a family who produced multiple empresses.
Navier Ellie Trovi
and the predecessor, Emperor Osis III had also chosen me to be the future empress of the crown prince.
Navier Ellie Trovi
Our marriage was a marriage of convenience.
Navier Ellie Trovi
But thankfully, Sovieshu and I had quite a good relationship since we were young.
Navier Ellie Trovi
The Nobles considered us a pair of love birds...
Navier Ellie Trovi
And we spent many day with our heads together, Discussing the empire we would build together in the future.
Navier Ellie Trovi
I was the perfect empress.
Navier Ellie Trovi
That is until today...
Navier Ellie Trovi
"I accept this divorce."
Commoner
"Your majesty! This is preposterous! How could this be?!?"
Knight
"Please calm down!"
High Priest Vimirey
"Do you truly agree to accept this divorce without any objections?"
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Yes. I accept."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"And... I would like to ask an approval of my remarriage."
Girl 1
"Do you hear that?"
Commoner
"You seek a remarriage?!? With whom?!?"
Heinley Alles Lazlo III.
"Is it time for my grand entrance?"
Girl 2
"I-isn't t-that... H-Heinley?"
Sovieshu Vict
Navier, you couldn't mean..
Navier Ellie Trovi
"He is the one I wish to remarry."
Episode 2
Navier Ellie Trovi
"I was told that you found a slave during your hunting trip and brought her back..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Is it true?"
Sovieshu Vict
"Where did you hear that from?"
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Where I heard it from isn't important. So, is it true?"
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Your majesty?"
Sovieshu Vict
"We have mere two meals together each week."
Sovieshu Vict
"There must be many other topics that we can discuss. Is that so important right now?"
Navier Ellie Trovi
That tone is a warning.
Navier Ellie Trovi
It means, I should, in no way, shape, or form question him any further.
Laura
"Something's amiss."
Countess Eliza
"As expected."
Countess Eliza
"Your majesty..."
Countess Eliza
"Did his majesty said something?"
Navier Ellie Trovi
"No, he just..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"... Didn't have much to say about the matter."
Countess Eliza
"If he hadn't said anything, i'm sure you wouldn't look gloomy as you do, Your majesty."
Laura
"It's okay! Please tell us, Your majesty! So we can be prepared as well!"
Navier Ellie Trovi
"His majesty said that the girl was accidentally caught in one of his traps."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"He said she's not a runaway slave, and that he only brought her back to make sure she's nursed back to full health as it was only proper that he did."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"But he was also displeased when I continue to ask about it."
Laura
"YOUR MAJESTY! THAT'S EXACTLY HOW MY FATHER BEHAVED IN HIS EARLY STAGES OF HIS AFFAIRS!"
Laura
"NO IF'S AND'S OR BUT'S ABOUT IT! THAT'S EXACTLY HOW MEN BEHAVE EARLY ON WHEN THEY BEGIN TO CHEAT!"
Laura
"AND ONE OF THE TELLTALES SIGN IS WHEN THEY BECOME DEFENSIVE AND BEGIN TO RAISE THEIR VOICE!"
Laura
"IF HE'S ONLY DOING WHAT'S PROPER, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY DISPLEASE HIM IN DISCUSSING THAT MATTER?!?"
Countess Eliza
"Now, now. I think you should go outside and cool your head, Laura."
Countess Eliza
(Shut's Door.)
Countess Eliza
"Your majesty. Come, a fragrant cup of tea should soothe you."
Countess Eliza
"His majesty must merely be fascinated that a beautiful woman was caught in his trap. I'm sure this is only fleeting."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Countess..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"My mother once told me..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"That I mustn't be hurt even if his majesty brings another woman as his mistress..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Because it was such a common occurence, She advised me not to expect anything different from his majesty..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Even if his majesty has mistressess, they are merely mistressess. I am the empress."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"And it's not as if his majesty and I are a pair of star-crossed lovers."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"But..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Why is it that I feel so hollow inside?"
Navier Ellie Trovi
"In theory, I should be fine."
Countess Eliza
"My dear empress."
Countess Eliza
"You were his betrothed since your childhood, and now, you are husband and wife."
Countess Eliza
"It's only natural that you feel the way you do."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Then..."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Will his majesty feel this hollow inside when I have another man by my side?"
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Nevermind. There's no reason to see her in person, is there?"
Countess Eliza
"Of course not. Even if that slave does become his mistress, she cannot frequent places or business or social circles."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Yes, that's right."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Every year, a certain number of slaves are reinstated to commoner status, but this privilege isn't allowed on runaway slaves."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"A person becomes a slave when they or their preceding generation has commited a crime deserving or life sentence. "
Navier Ellie Trovi
" A slave who has run away is considered as a fugitive as they fled without paying the price for their crime."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"So even if Sovieshu takes her as his mistress... It would be impossible for her to debut into high society."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"Countess Eliza is right."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"It's only natural to feel shocked and somewhat empty inside about my husband having a mistress."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"But I shouldn't allow my self to become more impassioned than this."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"The girl should live her life, His majesty shall live his, and I should live mine."
Navier Ellie Trovi
"And besides, it is only I who can be the empress of the Eastern Empire."
Noble Woman/ Duchess 1
"So, His Majesty visits her every day?"
Noble Woman/ Duchess 2
"I heard he personally brings her meals to her."
Noble Woman/ Duchess 3
"Oh my. Someone as impassive as his majesty? How unusual."
Navier Ellie Trovi
It's all anyone's talking about lately...
Navier Ellie Trovi
I should close my eyes and ears to all the whisperings.
Navier Ellie Trovi
And there's no reason for me to sit here and listen to all the gossips..
Lady 1
"Shh, no Lady Rashta!"
