The first snow falls while Queen Rushi runs the restaurant. Yagyu, Shika and Usagi are amazed as always by the design of winter clothes from Queen Rushi. Mozaru, who was also treated the same, only saw his clothes with a flat face.
Kitsune stared at the robe that Queen Rushi gave her. ‘’This is for me Your Majesty?’’
Queen Rushi smiled as she handed over the food package. ‘’Now winter. You will freeze to death if you don't wear anything, to watch me before winter ends.’’
‘’Thank you for Your Grace,’’ happy Kitsune.
‘’Then, I must return before anyone realizes you,’’ said Ratu Rushi.
Kitsune. ‘’Yang Mulia please be careful.’’
......................
With the arrival of Mozaru to the restaurant, making customers feel dislike with the presence of half-breed man. Mozaru did not care, and continued to serve them all.
‘’This order An—‘’
Pranks!
The customer slammed the plate Mozaru was carrying, making all the glances towards them.
‘’Ratu Rushi is indeed the owner of the Fighting House now, but that does not mean you can ask for protection from him.’’
‘’It's true. You've been banished by the palace.’’
‘’King has also given orders if there are people related to you, they will be considered traitors and exiled.’’
‘’Do not drag us into trouble. Why don't you stay in the forest sa—‘’
Bugh!
The customer's speech was stopped when Queen Rushi put a new dish on the table.
The customer was silent as he glanced at Prince Rodigero behind, then looked back at Queen Rushi. ‘’But, the people in the palace gave orders that anyone related to Mozaru, would be considered a traitor and exiled.’’
Next to Queen Rushi's eyebrows raised with a smile. ‘’Heh~ I hope you don't forget that right now I am a royal traitor and an exiled Queen. But you all keep coming here, isn't it the same as breaking the rules? I will be kind to take care of this matter with the palace. So, if you still want to eat, better sit just sweet!’’
All were immediately silent and only realized after hearing the words of Queen Rushi. They should not have approached the woman for having been exiled. But it's too late, because they're tasting Queen Rushi's cooking.
‘’You've made a fuss, and insulted my followers. Quickly apologize to him!’’
Mozaru looked up at Queen Rushi. He did not expect the woman to defend him, and told the customer to apologize. For a moment the customers were silent, until finally apologizing to Mozaru.
Yagyu who saw it just smiled, and went back to work.

Palaces
As usual, Washi will report on the situation of Ratu Rushi in the village that built the restaurant. He tells Siruverash that more and more customer days are increasing.
Pranks!
Siruverash slammed the wine-filled glass on the table so it was strewn across the floor. His hands were clenched even though his face looked calm. ‘’This winter should have been a good time for Queen Rushi to be gone. But, he managed to survive because Prince Rodigero was on his side.’’
With stiffened neck and forehead veins accompanied by bated breaths, Siruveras squinted his eyes. ‘’I have to do something before everyone sides with Queen Rushi.’’

Village
‘’Yang Noble to where?’’ ask Prince Rodigero.
‘’Everyone wants to be alone, Your Majesty is in a room on the 3rd floor. Either to ease the anger or think of something. Just now His Majesty was upset because of those customers. So Prince Rodigero has nothing to worry about. Your Majesty will be down in a moment,’’ Yagyu said.
