Crownless but Loved - Episode 9

On their wedding night, a wife slips into her husband's chamber to change her bedding because she feared he'd catch a chill. He recalls she said she'd 'never touch me' and at first deflects, saying servants should handle such tasks. He then reveals he already scolded Nova for today's incident and tells her, 'You are my wife,' urging her to stand firm if anyone tries to make things difficult. Later someone warns, 'Her Majesty has always put the nation first. Why drive her to her death?' A tearful reaction closes the episode, the warning unresolved.
