I couldn't believe that maid gave birth to a prince before me. She even gained special rights as the first prince's mother. If this continued, she would take my position in no time and of course I wouldn't let that happen. An empress from the Ashford family would never lose to a mere maid.
Once I gave birth to a prince, my family and our supporters started to oppose Francis, the first prince openly. Some families even poisoned that prince with some kind of poison, but he managed to survive.
Not only aiming for Francis, those nobles also aim for his mother and nanny. His nanny died by poison after being accused of stealing. His mother, the maid, managed to survive because of the right she had.
The Ashford family was unhappy with it. With Olivia's idea, we managed to assassinate that maid. In the end, that prince had no one to rely on, he would die in no time.
