NovelUpdateChapter 217: Another of Iryne’s letters.
After leaving the mage estate, Sigrid returned straight to The Vale. She was itching to get to the green house in
which she had planted ten dozen trees of cocoa. Her excitement was shared by her husband who had no idea
what was so delicious about the odd looking fruit--as he called it.
It had taken Sigrid a whole month to cultivate the trees using magic, fairy dew water and the poop of a griffin
which acted as a fertilizer. As disgusting as most of the servants and Roland found it, griffin poop had proven to
be a potent magical product.
Not only could it nourish plants, speed up their growth and increase their abilities of becoming enchanted fruit, it
was also a great alchemy ingredient.
For mages, it was a rare commodity that was highly desired and many of them offered her a lot of gold in
exchange for sgriffin poop.
On the downside, every tLady Iryne showed up for sgriffin poop, she would loudly shout "Showthe
poop.”
The words were hurled out without a care of who was in listening distance and Sigrid always had to explain that
it was not human poop.
Before she could get to the trees, Roland stopped her, waving an envelope up and down. Wind slapped the
envelope, making it shake like a flag hanging on to a pole in a storm. "You have received a letter from your
mother."
Sigrid took the envelope but she groaned a protest as she did because it was bound to be filled with the usual
silliness her mother wrote.
Dearest Siggy,
| sure do hope that you are well and pooping as well as that lovely griffin of yours. | have forgotten her name
again, you should write it down when you write back. Perhaps | will have recalled it by the tyou write back,
who knows?

into an early grave by leaving his boots everywhere. | have tripped over five this week alone.
Now, on the matters at hand.
| am writing to you whilst trapped in my own bathroom, hiding---because your father [the great bane of my
existence] is up in arms as | have broken yet another Television. But it not my fault, it is the fault of this series
that | am following against my own will because it has mademore foolish | fear.
It puzzleshow a woman is married off the emperor as one of the many concubines in his harem and when
she gets there, the first thing she does is schagainst another concubine. These poor foolish women, have
they no brains!!
The worst and most tiresquestion | hear them ask is why once concubine or the other dared to seduce the
emperor. | am confused, is it seduction if the emperor is their shared husband? He is like a piece of communal
meat and everyone must take a bite. Why then would you lose your temper if others are taking their rightfully
earned bite?
They are so blinded by vanity and jealousy that they do not realize that the only constant woman in the palace
that never changes is the empress. Despite not being loved by the king, she had held on to her power with a grip
tighter than the one Roland had on your waist in the corner of the room at Lady Evermore’s ball last week.
For the last time, enough with the public display of affection! Your father gets an ulcer every the sees a
picture of you and your husband in the paper sharing a kiss.
Sigrid paused the letter reading and she sighed. There were three pages and two were all complaints about the
series.
"She has taken to writing in bold now." Roland commented.
Sigrid huffed. Leave it up to her mother to find a way of getting her message across. She skipped all the parts
about the series and started from where her mother started writing about the affairs of their family again.
Your father in his infinite wisdom decided to take in another peacock, that brings the count to one and twenty!
We own more peacocks than any other noble now. It is ridiculous. Worse, he named the recent addition Lord
Rainbow Fluffington the First. Not only is the natrocious but the owner of the nis the same.
He demands attention all the time, sabotages rival peacocks, refuses to walk anywhere quietly, throws tantrums
and | swear he rolls his eyes atas if | am more tic than he is.
Have you ever seen or heard about a worse member of the bird family????72??
Sigrid had to pause the reading and chuckle. Why her father kept bringing in more peacocks, she hadn't a clue.
"More peacocks! Your father is building an army to fight me." Roland commented, over Sigrid’s shoulder.
"Oooh...right." she raised he head and laughed. "Well Lord Rainbow Fluffington could be your next opponent."
A hmph, cfrom Roland’s nose and their eyes were drawn back to the letter.
