Once I arrived at my residence I quickly changed and left for sovieshu's estate.

✰°࿐

"Ah, rashta are you finished with your dress shopping?" The guards said, attempting small talk with the commoner concubine. Rashta wouldn't be so happy to see her future like this. commoners talking to her like they're equal. It wouldn't be difficult or any bother to ruin her reputation before her mysterious future assault that I definitely didn't plan.

"I'm back for some more gold, his Majesty seems to be on a tight budget." I blurt out his Majesty in disgust and roll my eyes as I walk away mockingly.

"I- His Majesty requested to see you as soon as you came back!" he yelled as I grew smaller in the distance.

Clearly, I wasnt stupid enough to use all that money. I headed for the guest room and hid the bag of gold and gems in a drawer then went straight for sovieshu's room.

Knock knock!

"Your majesty it's me, rashta," I told, preparing my act.

The doors swing open and i'm met with a stern look on sovieshu's face. Instantly, I felt that something was off like he was suspicious of something, did something happen?

He quickly flashes a smile at me "rashta, come in."

I cautiously go in, sovieshu closing the door behind me when suddenly I felt a cold blade run past my neck. My disguise as rashta faded away slowly.

"Wha- how?! Where is rashta I know you have her!" He shrieked like a little girl.

"Oh, don't worry you'll see her very very soon." I turn opposite his blade and hit him in the head, knocking him unconscious.

✰°࿐

"Wake up~," I chuckled.

Sovieshu groans as rashta sat beside him on the ground. "Sov- your majesty, please wake up!"

"Wha- what happened?" He stuttered.

"You interupted my plans, so now you're here earlier than supposed."

Rashta struggled trying to untie sovieshu. "There's a reason I only tied him and not you. You're weak without anyone else's assistance. Plus it'd be a waste of rope and money. Do you even know how much good rope costs?" They both stared at me, infuriated.

"Rashta, you need to stop dreaming someone will save the both of you. You're all frail you might get a heart attack if you think too much. I can see it in your eyes, you're about to cry again, aren't you." I cackled.

"You bratty wench. If I were older than you, and navier weren't so fond of you as she is, I'd have already banished you from the empire!!"

"Yeah!! You're ugly and... T-the most annoying person I've ever met! I had an impression you'd be like this, I hope you die!" Rashta yelled, joining in.

I laughed, "Rashta don't interfere, your son is dead and soon your other will too. Your petty insults won't scare me to cede and throw away my years of pre-planning. I've calculated every move you could possibly make, even the funds it'd take to fix this kingdom you believe you ruled over so we'll."

"What son is she talking about?" He asked in a cautious tone, turning to rashta ever so slowly.

"I-" she burst out crying screaming sorry on repeat like a broken record.

I grin and walk out of the basement.

✰°࿐

"Princess, wake up!" Aria shook me.

'Have they already realized sovieshu was gone?'
"What is it?" I ask.

"You need to get ready, you have a visitor."

"Oh..." I get out of bed to get ready.

✰°࿐

I sit on the couch in my room and wait for the visitor.

Knock knock

I nod to aria as she opens the door for the visitor, and I see the most unexpected individual, Delice.

"That's unexpected," I muttered.

Aria poured the tea and left the room for privacy.

"Delice? Rashta's lady-in-waiting, right? What was so important you decided to ask for a private conversation over tea?"

"...ex lady-in-waiting, I quit. She wanted me to step down for reasons I'm not very sure of."

"Mhm?"

"I need help... I need to know why but I also want... to ruin her reputation."

"Why did you come to me for this?"

"Well, I heard from rumors you weren't very fond of rashta so I believe you'd have the most dirt on her... I'm sorry if it's insulting to you! I swear I'd never mean to hurt your reputation or pri-"

✰°࿐

I gave her things to spread about rashta even though some false, she believed it was all true.

"Thank you. I've had my suspicions but I never believed rashta was like this!" She said one last time before leaving the room.

Not a second later aria broke into the room "Princess! His Majesty has gone missing!"

She dropped newspapers on the table in front of me and I started reading.

"Maids at the scene say his majesty has suspiciously disappeared this morning along with rashta. Patrol guards say they haven't seen rashta or sovieshu around the estate for a few hours now. People believe they've run away from their responsibilities, signs of it being that: he hasn't started on the palace, he has to convince the public rashta could ever be better than navier and lady rashta can barely even spell her own name!"

I closed the newspapers, aria staring at me in panic.

"What do you think is going to happen with this?" I asked.

"Well, they're highly likely going to replace him as quickly as possible considering the Western kingdom could attack at any moment and-"

I nod "Right, you're dismissed, please leave."

As soon as she leaves the room I head for my desk and start writing another letter.

"Hey, navier, turns out I do have a request. Whenever your wedding may be, though I doubt it'll be very soon. please postpone it till i'm free. I'd hate to miss it. Thank you :)

I wave my hand in the air, opening the portal, and the owl flies out onto my arm.
"Please take this to navier, thanks."

It flies off with the wax-sealed letter as i'm left with nothing to do but wait.

✰°࿐ few days later ✰°࿐

I was out at the garden, realizing everything is going to plan. I brought the newspapers with me to the basement and threw it at rashta and sovieshu.

"Stay updated. Would suck to have you uninformed for months. They're trying to replace you already!? No hope for you," I shrug, a grin creeping on my face as I leave.
