The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 262: The Queen Consort had a different plan.

After the hug, the queen consort surprised Sigrid by pinching her cheek like one of those grandmother's addicted

to pinching the chubby cheeks of every baby they met. "The pleasure of this meeting is all mine."

"You are so pretty." Sigrid blurted out.

The smile on the face of the queen consort deepened. "I don’t think anybody has calledpretty before. When |

was younger they said | was beautiful, radiant, mesmerizing."

"I have no doubt that you were all those things." Roland said with a smile that had not vanished since he set his

eyes on his grandmother. "But | have a grudge against you. Why have not replied to my letters for ten years?"

"I replied, do not smear my nbefore your crown princess child." She scolded in a playful tone.

"Three sentences in each letter. It doesn’t count.” Roland answered.

The queen consort walked ahead of them, taking her tas she was in no hurry. "I am getting old boy, my mind

is too tired to cup with quirky responses. Three sentences is all | can manage now. You should count your

blessings for the bride you married. She is the only reason why the doors to my manor have been opened to the

world again.

| wanted to meet the first female mage in centuries that has managed to land herself a crown prince, save her

neck, change the laws and convince Eldoria to see the truth that female mages are not a threat.

| grew even more curious about her when | heard that you were besotted Roland. After being hounded to settle

down and presented with potential brides from every noble house and rejecting them you married Sigrid Thorin. |

could not believe my ears when | heard about it."

"Well he did not stand a chance against my charms." Sigrid quipped.

"| did not know that your father’s brute orders could be mistaken for charm Roland." She bantered. Because she

talked about the king, she paused and looked back at them, sighing reluctantly. "How is your father?"

"On the road to recovery, his body just needs to heal." Roland answered. "Do you wish to pay him a visit?"

She shook her head, not to eager to visit her sick son. "I know that it may seem cruel to you, a mother not

wishing to see her sick son that could be on his death bed. But, the truth is, | cannot look at him and see the boy

I once knew and loved. All the memories | have of him now are tarnished by the images of him killing his brother

and most of my other children dying for the throne.

In these fights, brothers turn against brothers, they sell off their sisters to the highest bidders who will provide

them with support. They maim each other and kill children and women. The hunger for the throne makes cruel

mad men of the children of the royal family. It is one of the reasons why | stay away from the rest of the royal

family. | grew sick of it all."

Sigrid took a step towards the Queen consort, placing a hand over hers. "I understand you. | also abhor such

things and when Roland takes the throne, there will be no such foolish bloodshed."

Sigrid heard Cosmos'’s voice in her mind, he was laughing at her from wherever he was.

"It doesn’t mean that you will not find other ways to get them out of the way. You will simply avoid killing them in

a bloody way and not touch the children, women and those that are not involved."

She entered the living room and everyone slowly brought the chatter. Precisely twenty one members of the

family had come. They stood up to greet the Queen consort, crown prince and crown princess and then sat

down.

One thing that was out of place which Sigrid noticed was that eight servants were lining up with silver trays. On

the trays were sealed envelopes, and she was curious to know there content.

"Let’s not waste time, begin, one at a time." The Queen consort ordered.

Regan Maximus was the first to speak up. "The scale of power will be tipped if the nobles are given even more

powerful positions in the new empire. This is the tto ctogether and assert out authority."

"How have you all been?" The Queen consort cut in with a question.

Her question took them all by surprise. They looked at each other, wondering what she was doing?

"Regan, how have you been? | hear that you still refuse to marry. Why is that?"

Regan blinked back a few times, puzzled. What did his marital status have to do with the issue at hand? "I--l am

not ready." he responded in an uncomfortable voice.

The Queen consort opened a notebook that had been sitting on the arm of her chair all along. "Mmm, Karla

Shadowmere will be the right fit for you." She declared.

Regan raised his head straighter, his mouth was partially parted. He looked at his father Bell Maximus, asking for

help.

Sigrid covered her mouth as she broke into a sudden fit of muffled coughs. It seemed the goals of the Queen

consort for assenting to this meeting were much more different than what everyone had imagined.

"On your way Regan, follow the footman. Make sure that you take sflowers, she is very particular to tulips."

She ordered calmly and dismissed him with a wave of her hand.

Regan was unwilling to move. He clenched his jaw and shook his head. "Grandmother, | have never even met

Karla Shadowmere. How can | court a stranger? Moreover, the issue that brought us here is..."

Regan suddenly flew through the air, pushed by a force that was unexpected. The doors were closed behind him

and two knights firmly took a hold of him, dragging him to a carriage.

"Mage!!" Roland exclaimed. "Grandmother, you are a mage!!"
