After what happened at the ball, just as the queen imagined, there are some rumors about how Princess Frida seems to be stealing her sister Valentina's fiance. The queen, of course, has ordered to counteract this gossip, assuring that Frida's engagement is being negotiated with an important family, this stopped the gossip a little, but at balls or tea parties, Alvin and Frida are always seen close, while Princess Valentina does not usually attend these, of course, she is more attentive in learning and becoming stronger, because even if she steps aside and lets the couple be happy, it is likely that that villain will reach the kingdom and finish off the royal family, therefore, if she is left alone, she must learn how to live alone, how to support herself.
"Where is she? I need to talk to her. Valentina!" the queen shouts.
As much as the servants refused to let her pass, she used her escorts to force her way through. Valentina comes down the stairs, as she was on the roof when Lauren informed her of the Empress's arrival.
"What's going on here? So much scandal makes it sound like a market" says Valentina.
"What did you say? Come down right now, everything that's happening is your fault, I've been told that you keep making up that Frida is having an affair with your fiance."
The queen had been looking for the source of the gossip and a girl told her that Valentina was the one who told her that Frida is interested in the young Duke Alvin, since they are always together in the palace.
"Me? I really had no idea that was being said, but it makes sense, they're always together" Valentina replies calmly.
Although she knows that she is the culprit, of course she thinks of denying it, besides, if she didn't say it, someone else would, it is quite obvious that those two are attracted to each other, only they want to believe that they are just friends.
"You are an ungrateful, I adopted you, I gave you everything and this is how you repay me..." she shouts furiously.
"I never asked you to adopt me, if you wanted the replacement for your lost daughter, you could have had another child...oh, oops, you can't..." she shows a slight smile.
The queen was red with rage upon hearing Valentina's words, no one had ever dared to mock her in that way, she runs to the stairs to go up to where Valentina was, but her maids try to stop her, there are too many witnesses and if she assaults Valentina, the whole kingdom will know that the queen mistreats her adopted daughter.
"Let me go! I'm going to teach this brat a lesson,"she shouts furiously.
The queen manages to free herself and runs up the stairs, but Valentina discreetly throws a small pearl down the stairs and when the queen steps on it, she rolls down the stairs falling against the maids who were following her, immediately the escorts rush to help, while Valentina just turns around to go back to where she was. Later, it is learned that the queen fell down the stairs and injured her ankle, broke an arm and has some bruises. Frida was with her, while Omar arrives at the queen's room, who is sleeping from the sedative.
"I already know what happened, she got hurt by going to cause a scandal in my palace and bothering Valentina" Omar mentions annoyed.
Although the queen is his mother, knowing the circumstances of her fall down the stairs is what bothers him, he doesn't understand why she is so eager to hurt Valentina.
"Brother, it's Valentina's fault, you should be angry with her, not with Mom" Frida asks.
"I'm just letting you know why this happened to her, you too, I thought I told you not to go and you disobeyed me."
"I'm sorry brother, but I didn't do anything wrong, neither did Mom. You should tell Valentina not to make Mom angry, that way nothing would happen."
"And what did Valentina do to make Mother angry? She accuses her without evidence. Even if Valentina said something hurtful to Mother, it was Mother who started it all, Valentina also gets angry and feels bad because they despise her" Omar replies.
Frida, could not respond to what Omar said and was left with no choice but to sob, so Omar prefers to retire. He will see his mother another day, when she is awake.

Months later, the queen had recovered, everything was returning to normal, the gossip towards Frida and Alvin was calming down, but it was known that Princess Valentina did not see her fiance, when he asks to see her, she refuses to see him and when she cannot refuse, she is very curt and so, with the passage of time, with Valentina's disinterest in Alvin, he became closer to Frida and feelings began to surface. While the queen, refused to accept that her daughter is with the heir of a duke, what she most desires is that Frida can conquer the heart of the prince of Trois Blanc, to belong to that imperial family, is to have practically everything.
For the past four years, she has been sending letters, inviting the prince to Frida's birthday, but never gets a reply, she even persuaded the king to send the invitation and so he did a year ago, but only got a reply that the prince had important business and could not leave it just to attend a party, despite that reply, the queen does not want to give up and just recently sent an invitation to the palace of Trois Blanc, this invitation was for the anniversary party for the founding of the kingdom, so the answer was that they would send a representative of the family, because the emperors can not attend because of their occupations.
The queen was sure that they would send the second prince, it does not matter if he is the son or grandson of the emperors, the important thing is that Frida looks spectacular to receive him. For although until now, Frida and Alvin have not committed themselves as in the novel, due to the fact that Valentina was not executed, the commitment between her and Alvin, has not been broken. Even on several occasions, the queen has pressured the king to have the wedding already take place, Omar intervenes, because Valentina has told him that she does not want to marry Alvin and to help her, Omar sent her to an academy, where students can stay in dormitories, being a school outside the kingdom.
There, Valentina has learned a lot about that world, she has perfected her magic and her fighting style, as she learned to handle the sword very well and has graduated with honors, now, she is going back to Asdefor, as Omar wants her to be present during the anniversary festival.
