The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 153: The missing horses.

What Lettice York had not counted on when she was scheming was that there was an even greater schemer in

the area, a predator at the top of her game.

She had blurted out that Edward and Bella were horses and after breakfast, the crown princess who had not

bothered to reveal the lies insisted that see the horses.

Lettice had barely had a bite of breakfast, she had been too nervous to eat, and now, she had the urge to throw

up the three spoons of oatmeal which she had forced herself to swallow at the table.

Roland, the Thorin’s, many knights and maids were standing in the meadow, looking at a dozen horses. If it had

been any other part of the meadow, she could have pointed at any two horses and claimed they were the ones

but they were at a section of the meadow that she specified, one where only magic horses fed and rested.

They were of a spiritual nature so if one called them by the right name, they responded. There was no Edward or

Bella, how could Lettice call out those names? She knew that shwas waiting for her at he end of the tunnel.

"I don’t feel so well." She touched her stomach and made smournful noises as if she was in untold pain.

Jennie had already grown impatient, they had been in the meadow for ten minutes now and the loving pair of

horses had not been pointed out. She had her camera ready to take pictures that she would show to all of her

friends back in the city. She was annoyed because Lettice was wasting her time.

"Which is why you should show us the special couple and be on your way." She napped her fingers impatiently.

"Hurry up now, we don’t have all day. We are supposed to take a walk around the village and explore it. At this

rate, we will be standing here all day."

Lettice felt moisture increase in the pits of her arms and on her forehead. It was cold outside but she was

sweating as if she was standing under a furnace.

"Call the horses." Sigrid ordered her maids.

Immediately, the maids who were eager to take down Lettice started calling out the two names, taking turns.

"Bella."

"Edward."

"Bella...we share the sname, don’t be shy."

No matter how loud they called or how many additions and subtractions they made to the names, none of the

horses responded. They continued to play and feed, acting as if there were no humans in the area.

"Maybe they are tired..." Lettice laughed.

Sigrid glanced at Brolin and he nodded. The knight retrieved a paper from his pocket and standing reading off

names, loudly calling the horses.

"Mystraria."

A dull silver mare with a shiny coat reared her legs back and raced towards them. She was so fast that she

reached them in two seconds and received a sugar cube from Lanai.

"They respond to their names." Jennie laughed. She took a picture of the mare nuzzling Lanai like it was thanking

her for the sugar cube.

Then it pushed her to the ground and snatched the entire packet before racing away. It left more than a few

people with indulgent and happy smiles on their faces.

"Frostmane." Brolin called.

A white stallion raced towards them, received its sugar cubes and decided to stick around for sreason,

sniffing at Sigrid’s belly while she rubbed its mane.

"Moonstride." Brolin called. He continued the process until every horse was accounted for and when it was all

said and one, they realized there was no Bella or Edward.

It only got worse for Lettice when Roland summoned the caretakers and they denied knowing any horses with

those names or fit the description Lettice had given.

"lI am confused Lettice, what happened to the horse you toldabout?" Roland questioned her.

Lettice blinked back tears and shook her head. She could not claim that they were dead because Roland would

check.

"l...I..." her mind worked at a maximum, spinning like a wheel as she tried to find a new excuse and she found it.

"I made up the names!" she blurted out and exhaled deeply.

She put her hands on her waist and blew more air out of her mouth. Lettice felt dizzy, the earth was spinning

around her. Her immediate instinct was to hold on to Roland to steady herself.

Just as her hand grazed his arm, a force pushed her away.

"Men and women should not be close beyond the age of eight." Sigrid said sternly. Looking at Roland with a deep

frown, she asked, "Did she not learn the rules?"

"She did your highness, | can assure you that she did." Miss Brum, the current governess of Stormwind that was

standing besides Jesting was quick to speak up before Roland did.

The older woman could not help glaring Lettice’s way, eyes lodged with annoyance because the younger woman

was putting her job as governess at risk.

She had trained Lettice well, the problem with Lettice was that she thought she was special and there was a

special relationship between her and the crown prince.

"You shoved me!" Lettice exclaimed.

She turned her aggrieved eyes from

Sigrid to Roland, hoping that she

would side with her because they had

known each other for far longer that

he had known Sigrid. The content is

"You are lucky it was her not me." Jennie scoffed, "I would have added a slap. Who are you to touch the body of

the crown prince wantonly?"

"lI am his ward." Lettice replied fiercely.

"l...." Roland started, wanting to explain that Lettice sometimes forgot social norms because she had been with

him from a young age but the look his father-in-law sent him stopped him.

The general had one brow fixed upwards, daring Roland to say something.

Lady Iryne was far from done and she was not the kind of person who shied away from public confrontation. If it

meant taking her enemy down, she gave it her all and Lettice was an enemy in her eyes.

She kept peeking at Sigrid and looking down as if the crown princess would swallow her at any moment and she

was frightened.

Jesting decided to send Lettice away for everyone's good. "Miss Lettice | think its tyou returned to the

castle."

"No." Lettice refused, she clenched her fists and stomped her foot. "I am not going. | have done nothing wrong,

why are you trying to sendaway?"
