Pluvia gave the situation some careful thought.
Kenji might be bold, but not reckless enough to do something like this. Maybe some court ministers believed he was capable of it, but Pluvia knew him better—he might cross a few lines, but barging in and sleeping in her bed completely out of the blue? That wasn't his style, and there was nothing to gain—aside from catching some advantage at her expense.
Since he had no reason to be the driving force behind this, only one person could've orchestrated things so blatantly even with Royal Guards and maids watching…
With that realization, Pluvia stood up and opened her door.
Sonya was standing there, head bowed, almost as if bracing for punishment.
"Your Majesty."
"Bring Empress Dowager here. Tell her it's an order," Pluvia said.
"Eh? Your Majesty, you know…?"
"Who else but she would dare do this? The Celestial Court might add fuel to the fire, but they wouldn't act themselves."
