After a dispute with their partners, the husband and wife each sought someone to confide in.

Isabella turned to Sister Glasses, who had originally planned to spend a lazy day, but was forced to stay late due to the Empress, becoming the target of Isabella's venting.

As for Wang Xiaole, the person he sought out was not exactly a person, but a goddess - Freya, who was known for freeloading off others.

The reason Wang Xiaole didn't turn to Cai or Bai Meow was because he felt no romantic feelings towards Freya, therefore there was no suspicion of infidelity.

Typically, couples who argue are already in a delicate situation; if someone, fearing things aren't bad enough, fans the flames, it can lead to serious consequences.

In other words, how the first argument ends largely depends on what Sister Glasses and Freya have to say next.

Whether it's advice or provocation, someone had to speak up. So, in the silent tension they created, the two women spoke up.

Even though they were not in the same place or facing the same person, unknowingly, they both simultaneously told the person in front of them: "I think it's Your Majesty's fault!" and "I believe it's your fault, Xiaole!"

The mental education began.

From their current positions, Sister Glasses was Isabella's follower, relying on her for income to support their life; while Freya, who had no place to go and no plans to work, relied on Wang Xiaole.

From a standing standpoint, neither of them had much authority to blame the other for their mistakes. Nonetheless, they spoke up.

Not because of a sudden burst of courage, but out of sheer desire to help: "I'm doing this for your own good."

With pure intentions, they attempted to guide their partners through the confusion.

Sister Glasses advised, "The only one who can accompany Your Majesty for a lifetime is the Emperor. How many years can a dog, no matter the breed, live?"

"But..."

"There's no but! Your Majesty doesn't need to be upset with the Emperor over a pet that can't accompany you for long. Remember, the Emperor is the person closest to you!"

By comparing a pet dog to a person, Sister Glasses managed to win the argument. However, such metaphors rarely bring joy to the person being criticized.

Luckily, since the people involved were not actually present, Sister Glasses continued: "Your Majesty, as our Emperor, why bother competing with a cat or feeling jealous?"

"But my master listed so many advantages of cats..."

"Listing advantages doesn't change the fact that you and the Emperor are meant to be together for life. Everyone in the country knows you two are a pair!"

Following a series of examples, Sister Glasses highlighted how important Wang Xiaole was to Isabella and how loving the couple should be.

In the end, Sister Glasses even suggested, "Your Majesty, apologize to the Emperor. In this moment, you are not a ruler but a partner who supports each other!"

In truth, Sister Glasses was in the wrong place - she shouldn't have been involved in palace matters. But even in her improper role, her talents shone through.

She advised Isabella, "Considering Your Majesty's face, and the need for the Emperor to feel your sincere apology, maybe you should..."

After a brief discussion, Isabella, with a change in her expression, made up her mind, "Okay, I'll do it. I hope to reconcile with the master!"

As Isabella left the room, Sister Glasses, left behind, felt a loss of hope in her eyes, a stark contrast to earlier.

On the other side, Freya scolded Wang Xiaole, "Are you foolish? Quarreling with your wife over a cat, what possessed you?"

After criticizing him, Freya tried to advise Wang Xiaole by asking, "What do you like about cats?"

"Cute and comfortable to hold."

"Is the Empress not cute?"

"I can't use the term 'cute,' more like 'beautiful.'"

"Then, between the Empress and a cat, who is more beautiful?"

"Of course, it's the Empress."

"In that case, who would you rather hold - a cat or the Empress?"

"The cat, it's softer compared to me..."

"Can you sleep holding a cat?"

"I don't have the interest in treating a cat like a wife, so no..."

"There are many emotions in the world, but the most precious is the kind that comes from sleeping together; no one, no matter how close or important, can compare to the one who sleeps beside you every day!"

In that moment, it seemed a wise saying was born, not from a knowledgeable sage, but from a fool.

Because she was a fool, she spoke the truth in a way that was easy to accept.

Realizing his mistake, Wang Xiaole was further advised by Freya, "You must apologize. The book I read said, 99% of marriages fail because men are stubborn and won't step back."

Although Wang Xiaole hesitated at first, he eventually accepted Freya's advice, understanding that preserving his dignity and pride could overshadow the sincerity of his feelings. He asked himself if he truly liked Isabella.

Once convinced, Freya, with a sudden inspiration, provided Wang Xiaole with a plan. "So there's another way? Alright, I'll do it this way and hope to be forgiven by the master later."

Before leaving the room, Wang Xiaole was instructed by Freya, "If you two reconcile, Xiaole, don't forget to buy me some delicious cream puffs as a thank you."

"I will buy them, but please, try to limit your snack consumption in the future."

As Wang Xiaole hurried out, Freya, left alone, returned to her self-indulgence.

Cai had taken Bai Meow shopping, and Lucia was attending a meeting. Before Wang Xiaole returned, the room was as quiet as it was now, with only Freya present.

When alone, she usually indulged in snacks to lift her spirits. Today, she searched through her collection of snacks for something special.

Freya had two rules for her snacks: finishing what was opened and not keeping them for too long. But there was one exception, and today she found it.

"I wonder when I bought this? It looks quite vintage."

The snack bag Freya found seemed to be older than Bai Meow. Despite showing signs of careful preservation, the packaging had deteriorated due to its age.

Instead of throwing it away, Freya looked for the production date to see if it was still edible. Unable to find it, she discovered a line of text.

Written with divine power, the words were meant for Freya alone. They appeared before her eyes on this special day, radiating an ancient aura.

The golden words imprinted on Freya's eyes, and a voice echoed in her mind: "Know others but do not know yourself!"

With these words, a change came over Freya - her dull gaze transformed into a wise one, hinting at a wisdom beyond human understanding.

"Time flies. It's the day. While no one's watching, I'll go and do what needs to be done."

With no one else in the room, Freya set forth on her mission.
