Chapter 264: A serving of Elowin!!
Sigrid almost jumped out of her chair. She had been giggling as the fates of others were sealed, never imagining
that her family was on the list. She looked at Eand Elooked at her. Both of them were stunned.
Ehad not even been given a second to digest the fact that she was the only female minister of Eldoria when
her grandmother shoved a potential husband her way. Not just any potential husband but the brother of the
crown princess!!
“Erp.
"Err what?" The Queen consort asked. "Are you waiting forto send you out of the room like I did your cousin
Regan?" She asked.
Eshook her head. "There is no need for such extrmeasures. However, | would like to know what the
crown princess’s opinion is on this matter considering the fact that he is her brother."
"I am..." Sigrid’s eyes darted to the Queen consort. "I am staying out of it for now." She would have to wait and
hear what Elowin had to say. If he lacked any interest in Ethen she would intervene.
Esme’s mouth fell open. "You can’t do that." she cried out as Sigrid broke her little heart.
The Queen consort boldlysaid, "You are the first woman minister of Eldoria and like it or not, this is going to raise
a few hackles. Men will point fingers at you and say the position you hold has prevented you from marrying.
Others will challenge you while claiming that you cannot run a ministry and a hat the stime. There is a
lot for you to prove Eand it is going to take you years to prove it.
In due time, you will beca target of nobles or men with hidden ambitions. Having a well established
relationship is a form of protection for yourself. It helps that the young man we are talking about is a mage from
a noble family. His family will defend you as much yours does."
Sigrid scoffed slowly, the Queen consort was really calculating and she had no worry at all that Sigrid could carry
what was being said back to her family.
"Just look at the crown princess, it took a good marriage for her to get the necessary power and backing to
challenge the old traditions of our land. A good marriage will help you too." Sylvie gestured at Sigrid and Roland.
"But he might not want to marry me." Esaid. "He is an adult man with a mind of his own. Just because you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsuggest a marriage between us does not mean..."
"Grow a spine and negotiate with him." The Queen consort raised her voice. "He is unmarried and not courting
any woman. His passion is his work as a mage, he has no tor interest in courting. | knew a man like him
once...Sir Anton Baker. He was obsessed with creating the best swords.
Every second of his twas spent in his forge hammering away at various metals. His wife, Jovanna pursued
him and they married successfully. You can do the sthing, if it does not work out then I will find you
someone else."
Elooked at Sigrid.
"Don’t look at Sigrid, she is not going to help you out." The Queen Consort said.
She was tired of going round and round so she used magic to send Eflying out of the room. Two knights that
were waiting captured her and practically abducted her into the carriage.
The queen consort sent off all the unmarried royals and the married ones. Then, she turned her attention to the
married but childless group, two men and one woman. Doug was one of them and he was not too pleased to be
one of those that had to be put in line.
"So, | invited a doctor to check everyone's health. Increasing the size of the royal family by having children is
one of your duties. Doug, | will start with you. You are a duke, you must know that without heirs the title is
empty. It might as well be stripped from you."
Doug stood up quickly, very panicked. He had not been made a minister, he was a national security advisor and
that position held a lot of hot air. He knew his opinions would not be taken as he had never served in the army.
All he really had to hold on to was his duke title.
"Grandmother, you can’t do that to me. | was given this title by the king."
"Roland is now the representative of the king, he can strip that title from you." The queen consort reminded him.
She raised her hand before he could lament. "Keep your calm, | am not suggesting that this be done. | have
questions however, why have you not had a child. You have been married for six years. | am sure that you know
people are talking. If the problem lies with your wife and it cannot be fixed even with magic you have two
options, take another wife or adopt sof the lovely... many bastards your brothers and cousins have gifted
this royal family with."
"| won't take another wife." He said strongly.
"I am not finished." The Queen consort cut him off. "If the problem lies with you and magic cannot fix it, the
solution again is to adopt. | cannot suggest that your wife take another husband." She turned her head to Roland
and Sigrid. "Can you both think of any other solutions?"
Sigrid had no plans of getting involved in Doug's life. Whether he had children or not was none of her business
unless something changed.
"I have nothing to add."
Doctor Nory, whom the queen
consort had sent for arrived and he

"Grandmother, this is unnecessary." He voiced out in a complaining voice.
"l agree," she nodded once.
Galen pulled his hand away from the doctor that was taking his pulse. He was a man of immense virility, why he
had been asked to stay with his childless cousins was a puzzle.
Doctor Nory who also happened to
be a mage had found something so

Galen was ready to escape and he waved at them, turned on his heels and dashed out of the door at peak
speed.
Doctor Nory moved to Duke Doug who reluctantly accepted to be checked.
"He has a low sperm count as a result of a disease he suffered eight years ago. | am afraid that it will be quite
