The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 202: What a large family!

All over Eldoria, televisions blasted the footage of the princes meeting the king, offering gifts and images of their

flying ships. They also exaggerated the meeting between Prince Firron and Princess Thalassa, and speculated on

what it meant for the empire.

Commentators and Tv anchors spoke on the possibility of a royal wedding and where it would happen if it

beca reality. Would they marry in Eldoria or Solandor?

Meanwhile, the royal luncheon arrived and it was quite the spectacle to behold. Because of all the changes to

the guest list, it had been arranged like a party. Long tables were adorned with crystal lamps and fresh flowers

provided by Elarin. The velvet curtains which framed the windows had been closed, allowing glistening

chandeliers to cast a warm light on the scene. The seductive smell of food, pastries, wines and spices filled the

air.

The guests had already arrived, mainly young women that were brimming with eager smiles and dressed to the

nines, eager to leave a lasting mark on the princes. The princes had yet to be seen but among the guests,

dynamics of power, ambition and resentment were already simmering beneath the surface. If one wrong string

was pulled, the balance of the event would be undone.

The De-Kensington’s were not pleased to see the Thorin’s or the female mages. The Thorin’s were acting as

nothing was of their concern and they were having a good ttalking to the Rosewood’s and Givenchy’s. The

Givenchy’s were not happy to see the Durin’s, the two families had a feud. These three families were not pleased

to see the Windrider’s, only one female from their family had been invited and yet ten had showed up.

The women from the royal family were not happy to see any woman from the various noble families that had

attended or those from the mage estate. As if the competition was not stiff enough, the doors opened and

daughters of nobles from the families of the queen’s ladies in waiting arrived.

"This is worse than a battlefield." Mauve whispered to her cousin Jenna. "The princes have not even confirmed if

they are open to a marriage alliance and yet the women here have drawn swords, each ready to slaughter the

other for a chance to be royalty in a foreign land. | say it’s foolish."

Jenna laughed in response. "Well it is not our concern, we are just here to make up the numbers for the crown

princess and have fun. If any Prince does findsuitable, | won't object to the courtship."

Roland and Sigrid arrived first, Galen stole him away and this left Sigrid beside Princess Romilda and the queen.

The queen was not too happy to see the Thorin’s at the event.

"This is not your estate or the Vale or Stormwind. It is my castle, you had no right to invite your cousins without

my permission." She snapped while maintaining a fake smile for those that were watching them.

Sigrid gestured for a servant to bring her a glass of wine and she replied through an equally fake smile. "It’s not

your event dear mother-in-law. It is the king's event and | do not think that he will be too happy to see all the

women you invited. You are not a fool so you must be aware that he wants to match Princess Thalassa with one

of the princes. An alliance with Solandor will shape Eldoria’s future, your De-Kensington family is too greedy and

selfish because they want to gulp all this power for themselves."

Queen Maurelia bit her teeth and turned to her sister-in-law. The two did not like each other and Maurelia

harbored a deep grudge against Romilda stemming from years of perceived undermining and competition for the

kings favor. Romilda was aware that Maurelia had insinuated to her ladies-in-waiting that it was possible that the

relationship between King Raff and her was like that of Lady Blanche and his sister.

Romilda had only kept her temper in check because she did not want to draw attention to the ugly lie and give it

life.

"And you Romilda, how dare you bring that hussy Marianne here?" Maurelia hissed.

Princess Romilda scoffed, the hussy was her daughter who was charming everyone with her beauty and wit

already. Romilda was sure that if Thalassa failed, Marianne would get the job done.

Sigrid was not worried about who the two women had brought, her eyes lingered on Lady Emmah whose halo

was extremely active tonight. So far, the maids had tried to ruin her dress and failed, poison her wine and failed,

shove her out of a window and failed. Every disaster she could have stumbled on tonight ended up harming

another young woman, reducing her competition. Emmah had not even looked Benjamin's way tonight, she had

cwith one purpose--to capture the heart of one of Solandor’s princes, the older one preferably.

She had dressed strikingly as if she was attending the met gala back on modern earth. Her beauty coupled with

her lucky halo which had a talent for putting her in the right place at the right tmade her a formidable player

in the courtly game.

The king made his way into the room and sat down next to the queen. "I see many of your nieces here,

accompanied by their fathers."

Queen Maurelia smiled provocatively

As Elarin calmed the king down, the princes made entry with regal composure in their empire’s red and golden

garments. They were as startled as the king had been to see such a big family!

It was if a gun had been fired to start a race because they found themselves in the midst of eager beautiful

women and each was vying for their attention.

Sigrid observed the spectacle with a
