The days went by quickly.


    And before everyone knew it, it was time for the soldiers and soldiers to go out on their separate missions.


    Everything was set and ready to go.... and on this glorious day, several men and doctors had sailed out to sea with determination.


    The doctors and nurses were especially feeling giddy.... as for most, this was their first government mission ever!


    But while all this was happening, with Tom the Yodan empire... several people were at their wit’s end.


    .


    -The Capital City, The Empire of Yodan-


    ’Ahhhh!’


    ’Crashhhhhh!’


    "I can’t stand this!


    I can’t stand this at all!


    How much more longer do I have to suffer under the hands of that shrew?" Said a woman who was making a fuss in her bedroom chamber.


    "Mistress.... mistress.... please qualm your anger." One of the maids standing beside the woman said as she was afraid that others might hear what her master was saying.


    It wasn’t just her, but all the other maids in the room.... who also felt anxious and poked their heads out the bedroom door, while looking left and right suspiciously.


    Phew!


    No one was around.


    The woman in question, didn’t seem to care if she was heard or not ... as all she wanted to do right now, was to vent her pent up anger as much as she could.


    "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!


    Just who does she think she is?" The woman yelled hysterically.


    "Mistress, Mistress.... please qualm your anger!"


    Once the maid spoke, the woman quickly paused and turned to look at the maid coldly.


    "Eh?


    What did you call me?"


    ’Pah!!!!!!’


    The entire room echoed with the loud crisp sound of a p from the woman into the maid’s face.


    "Stupid girl!


    How many times have I told you to call me First Queen?


    You alle!


    Take this idiot out there and whip her 300 times with a horsewhip!" The woman said ferociously.


    Hearing what her master had said, the little maid couldn’t help but scream out in fear.


    Wouldn’t 300 shes kill her?


    "Queen.... queen... I was wrong!


    Queen....." the maid begged and cried while being dragged out of the room by the other maids all around her.


    The maids who were carrying her out, couldn’t help but look at her pitifully.


    They too understood her pain, but there was nothing they could do about the situation.


    .


    Their master was the former first Queen of Yodan... who was called Queen Ivy, when King Maine was still ruler of Yodan.


    Almost everything thought that the next heir would either be the first prince (their master’s son), the 2nd prince or even the 4th prince.


    But who would’ve known that the former king would wield everything to the most unlikely candidate..... the 3rd prince instead?


    Ever since the 3rd prince, Prince Sirius Maine became king.... of course, their master wasn’t queen anymore.


    In addition to that, she also couldn’t be called Queen Mother..... as that position was also taken by the 3rd Prince’s mother.


    So with all that said and done, almost all of their master’s resources and people had been pulled back into the pce.... and were now being used by king Sirius, as should be.


    After all, when their master had just arrived in the pce years ago, most of the knights under hermand had also been given to her by her husband.


    So for sure, she had to return all those nights that were given to her since then.... as well as those that were added onter on through the pce.


    They would be given used by Sirius, who did then give them to his future wife(s) and children as well.


    So of course, they took most of their master’s knights back to the pce.


    And to add insult to injury, their master had moved out of the pce.... along with the other wives of the now King-Father Maine, and were now living in an estate that was not as big as that of the pce.


    Sure, it was still bigger than that of most 1st ss nobles within the empire.


    But still, it was a real downgrade from their master’s previous one. ... especially living space.


    Now, all wives lived in one massive building.


    So the chances of them bringing in people secretly, or even sending private messages and so on, was a real daunting task..... as all women in this house were already enemies.


    Even though the women had their own hall wings.... it was still too close, and not as spacious as they would want it to be, as who knows where to a spy from the other wives would’ve been able to sneak in and listened to what their mistress was saying.


    .


    As for why they called their master mistress, that was because as per thew... no one could call her queen anymore, as it will only be used for Siruis’ wife or wives.


    Anyone who disobeys would be severely punished.


    Everyone called her Duchess....and since she was their master, they could also call her mistress as well.


    But their master hated both names... as she only wanted to be called Queen Ivy.


    Hence her obvious disdain when they called her mistress.


    Nheless, they still called her that because if any of the other wives heard them call her queen.... they wouldn’t hesitate to use this opportunity to deal with their master.


    The maids all shook their heads and smiled bitterly while pulling their fellow maid to her death.


    And soon... Ivy was left alone to herself.


    She ran her hands through her hair and crunched down by the fire in rage.


    Today..... that idiot husband of hers had brought that shrew who was now the Queen-Mother to the estate.


    At first, Ivy wanted to use this opportunity to teach her a lesson..... so she had nned to fall down the stairs and me the sl**.


    But who would’ve known that the b**ch would beat her to it and fall down the stairs instead?


    Of course, when Maine looked at the top of the stairs and saw Ivy, he quickly guessed that she was the one who pushed the empire’s queen mother out of jealousy.


    And now, she had been grounded for 6 months and had also lost her favour as well.


    Dammit!


    She truly wanted to kill that b**ch.


    .


    Thinking of her men who had already gone after Sirius in attempts to kill him..... Ivy couldn’t help but smile coldly while watching the mes from the fire rise.


    ’B**ch!


    Just you wait!


    Soon... I’ll send your son to the grave, and then... we’ll see whether you’ll have the qualifications to be queen mother or not!’


    And just when Ivy was deep in thought..... one of the maids knocked her door again.


    ’Knock! Knock!’


    ’Mistress..... I’ve brought your favourite!’ Said the maid.


    Listening to her words, Ivy’s eyes opened widely.


    Ivy had 4 personal maids.... so she had taught them some coded words amongst themselves..... just in case others were listening on.


    "Bring it in then!" Shemanded.


    And immediately, the maid stepped forward with arge bowl of fruits.


    "ce them on the table and get out."


    "Yes, mistress!" The maid responded while doing just that.


    Ivy quickly closed the door behind the maid and went towards the table.


    Sure enough, there was a note there.


    [Master..... Former Queen Winnie and her children have been located


    They’re in Baymard.]


    .


    Reading the note, the corners of her mouth were raised slightly and her eyes twinkled mysteriously.


    ’Found you!’
