The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 278: Confrotation with De-Kensington’s

Karl's question on Emmah’s whereabouts had reminded Sigrid if the fact that she had ordered for the woman to

be imprisoned on the mage estate.

To her surprise, or not, when she arrived, Emmah had been freed due to a mix-up. Apparently on days of royal

weddings and other special days like when Eldoria won wars, prisoners that had committed minor offenses were

released.

The prison in the mage estate was not outside of those rules so on the night when everyone else was celebrating

Thalassa’s wedding, Emmah was accidentally released from prison along with four other servants that had been

caught stealing from the magic farms.

Only four prisoners were supposed to be released but the guard on duty, a man that was allergic to alcohol

somehow managed to fall into temptation, ignore his allergies and took a few sips of alcohol. He was drunk and

ill, out of his mind, he let all the prisoners go.

Sigrid knew that the lucky halo was at work and it had resulted in the mess.

"Get up." She ordered the guard.

The poor man that had imagined his head rolling on the floor was so relieved not to be punished that he sat

down instead of standing up as instructed.

"Let’s go." Sigrid thrust her hand out. Mauve took it and helped her up.

Both of them had no classes to teach and the day had gone by. Already they had missed lunch and Sigrid was

very hungry.

As they walked to the carriage, Christie who had been expecting to see the guard punished strongly could not

contain her curiosity.

"Crown princes, why didn’t you punish the guard? His carelessness clearly led to a mistake. Not just any mistake

but disobedience of your order."

Sigrid gave her an answer that she had derived from thinking things over clearly when the guard was on his

knees before her, trembling. "He is good great that is great at his job and he is loyal to me. The circumstances

which led to his mistake were not of his own making. | only punish the foolish not the helpless."

Christie did not understand what circumstances had played a role in the matter but she did not ask any further

questions.

As soon as Sigrid’s carriage exited the mage estate, there was scommotion and it cto a stop. After a

minute of no movement, Sigrid grew impatient. She opened the curtain slowly and peeked outside. "Brolin, is

there a problem?"

Brolin looked down from the back of his horse and answered, "Lord Badric De-Kensington and sof his

brothers are blocking the way, demanding to speak with you."

Sigrid sneered. "I was wondering how long it would take for them to start jumping around." They had failed to

see Roland, the king was unconscious and the queen still missing in action. It was not really a surprise that they

had cseeking her. A public ambush was a good way to force her to see them.

She had never been one to deny someone an opportunity to make a fool of themselves so she stepped out of the

carriage.

A knight brought her a chair and she sat down on the side of the road. Her ladies in waiting and servants stood

behind her. The large entourage which was abnormally blocking straffic confused Eldorians. When they

noticed that it was the crown princess, curiosity forced them to stay on the side lines beyond the wall of knights

and peek at her.

Sigrid in the meantwas observing Lord Badric, a fat noble lord that covered up his lack of hair by wearing

hats all the time. He had to be helped off the back of his horse. Sigrid felt sorry for the horse for carrying a man

his size. He must have weighed at least three to four hundred pounds.

A man his size should have been in a carriage not on the back of a horse.

Lord Badric and his three brothers all stopped before her and they bowed.

"Do you know that is rude and unlawful to stop a royal carriage?" Sigrid asked them.

"Yes, we are aware." Lord Badric spoke for them all. "And we are willing to be punished for our crimes. However,

crown princess, we are desperate. Please pardon us."

"That will depend on what matter prompted you to stopand causeto bump my head against the wall of

my carriage." She answered with a devilish smile.

The De-Kensington’s saw no swelling or color discoloration on her forehead to prove that she had injured herself.

They looked at her maids, hoping to find answers on their faces but found none. The maids had mastered the

neutral frigid look of their mistress.

His eyes, as well as those of his brothers were sharp with suspicion.

"That consort....Elarin...she grows bolder each day. She is walking around and acting like the queen. When we try

to access the royal castle she meets us and speaks for our sister." Kane De-Kensington grumbled.

Lord Badric clenched his hands. "Then let us see her. We should confirm with our very own eyes that she is ill

otherwise we refuse to believe you."

"And what will you do of you do not believe me?" She challenged them.

She was waiting for one fool to make a threat and give her a reason to poke her nose into the De-Kensington

family. Cutting their power had and would always be one of her goals for as long as she remained a power figure

in Eldoria.
