Chapter 147: Cute when embarrased.
The Thorin’s were lying again. It was true that they had not set the fire which killed Rina but they did make a
plan to kill her. At the debutante ball which was held by the queen once a year, they planned to release some
snakes and have one bite Rina.
That sball was the one which Phoebe had led to the death of Nathaniel who was accused of sexual assault
by Rina. After Rina died, the plan was scrapped.
"Let's forget it. We are all far away from the capital and have been on the road for a whole week. Who can dare
to suspect us of having a hand in a fire on the Windrider estate? We have perfect alibis because we don’t even
need to lie about where we are." Sigrid moved her hands around, gesturing for everyone to calm. "I suggest that
we all go and freshen up then return here for dinner and the viewing of three unreleased episodes of the rise of
Lady Blanche."
Lady Iryne gasped and jumped up eagerly, at the stRoland found himself on his feet. As soon as he
stood up, shswept through his body. He blushed, and closed his eyes, wishing that he was anywhere but
there.
He could feel the eyes of the Thorin’s on him, even without looking at them, he could picture the smiles on their
faces.
General Paxton was the first to laugh, he bellowed so loudly that the sound vibrated in the walls. He was joined
by Sigrid and then Lady Iryne. Roland could not stand the shanymore, he turned around fled the room.
The sound of their laughter followed him as he crushed into Jesting who was bringing a bottle of wine into the
room.
The wine bottle flew into the air, its contents spilled on the ground. A knight leaped up and caught the bottle in
time, preventing it from falling and breaking.
"My apologies Jesting." Roland rashly apologized hastily and continued to flee.
The poor butler was left puzzled, he had not seen the crown price so flustered in a very long time. So much so
that he had lost his princely aura.
A minute later, Sigrid found Roland in their bedroom with his head buried in a pillow. Muffled groans cfrom

"My love." she approached the bed and gently tapped his back slowly. "My love, are you planning to live the rest
of your life with this pillow over your face?"
He responded by groaning even louder and deeper, he couldn't help worrying about the fact that he would never
live the embarrassment down. Where was his dignity? How had he been so bewitched by television?
Sigrid covered her mouth to hide her giggles but the small sharp sounds could not be contained by the ordinary
palm of her hand. "Cone, it was not so bad. | promise you that when I left, nobody was laughing anymore."
Like a shy child, Roland slowly raised his head and peeked at Sigrid. "How bad is it? How thrilled is your father
tight now?"
She pulled him up and her arms went around his upper chest. Her head found a resting place next to the crook of
his neck.
"My love, we are all family. As you interact with us, the more you will begin to realize that there is no such thing
as embarrassment between family members. Before this day ends, John will have made at least ten stupid
statements. My mother will have done at least five silly things. My father....." she sighed. "You will see with time."
"Really." he sighed in a small voice.
Sigrid nodded, "We are Thorin’s. | am more amazed that you did not run out of the room after hearing about the
fire my mother had asked someone to set. To me, that is more troubling than your innocent excitement over
Lady Blanche."
As she comforted him smore by lightly patting his chest and arms, she thought about the fire and recalled
the one she had set. It was quite uncanny that her mother had done the sthings, like their thoughts traveled
along the swavelength.
"Or villains think alike." A suggestion cto her from Cosmos.
Sigrid was inclined to disagree, the Thorin’s were not truly villains. Apart from killing to protect themselves and
concealing gold, they were not the worst people in the kingdom. They were more like canon fodders and not the
villains the had made them out to be.
Then again, it was told from the perspective of the female lead and everything that stood in her way was bad.
"I must say that you look so cute when you are embarrassed. | have seen many sides of you but never this one
before. Your face has two expressions normally, a stoic cold face or a smiling one." She laughed openly, softly
without mockery.
"Hmph" was his response.
What are you thinking about now?" She asked him.
"Your smile."
Sigrid’s lips curved upwards. "My smile, what about it?"
One of his hands found her bare arm and slowly caressed it. "I was thinking about the day we married. When you
founddrunk like..."
"A skunk." she interjected with a quick remark before he could finish his sentence.
