Royal Affairs: Part 1

In the 4th year of the reign of our king, the queen was suddenly replaced by a younger woman. This woman was completely different from the former queen. She was fully of grace and compassion. She favored me and attempted to break up the tension in the court. Of course the former queen was not happy with this. Since it was the emperor's will that the queen give her up, she no longer favored him. The queen no longer favored the empress either. The emperor wasn't completely harsh for he did let her remain in the royal palace, only as a concubine rather than a queen. When this happened, the queen lost most of the nobles that favored her. She was completely alone, accept for a few loyal maid servant. The king had nothing to say about this, since he was enjoying a much younger and beautiful woman as queen.
