The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 38: Sigrid cornering madElene.

Sigrid took a sit before the contents of the table quietened on the ground, it took a few seconds for the incense

burner to stop rattling around. She moved her eyes to madElene who was surprisingly calm, not even a

knight and his sword moved her.

It was not unexpected of course, MadElene was a seasoned woman, she had seen many things and

encountered many challenges along her path to owning the kingdom's best brothel.

She had dealt with all sorts of titled men, knights, generals, a queen and even a king, this minor display of power

would not frighten her.

MadElene was older in years, she appeared to be in her sixties, Sigrid judged. Despite taking care of herself

as best as she could, the weight of the years showed on the deep lines and wrinkles on her face.Her silver hair

was worn in a burn, held together by a single black wooden hair pin that appeared to be simple to the common

eyes.

Sigrid knew that it was hollow on the inside and contained poisonous needled which Rina had used to kill

madElene later because Emmah was afraid the secret of Rina’s background would be exposed and

damaged Benjamin’s chances at the throne.

Her clothing was simple, a plain high neck long grey dress and a pair of black gloves on her hands. She was not

dressed in a flashy manner for a wealthy woman or an indecent one for someone that owned a brothel.

MadElene had sharp observant eyes, that were roaming over Sigrid, in attempt to deduce her identity.

"Can | offer you stea?" she spoke first.

Sigrid shook her head and put her hand to her face, removing her mask and revealing her face to madame

Elene.

MadElene laughed lightly, "I suppose you expectto kneel or curtsy but | am afraid that my old knees

may not be able to...."

Brolin moved suddenly, grabbed madElene by the neck and forced her onto her knees in front of Sigrid. He

kept one hand around the back of her neck firmly, if Sigrid gave the order he would snap it immediately.

In the two months that had passed, Sigrid and Cosmos had regularly sparred with the knights, she used a

wooden sword in the sword fights and her fists in close combat fights. In addition to that, she had increased their

pay and offered allowances, buying their hearts, camaraderie and loyalty.

They had all learned to adjust to her moods, they knew she hated to be disrespected, madElene’s words

were disrespectful to Brolin’s ears. Whether they were in a brothel or a castle, a crown princess was a crown

princess.

"What are you doing?" madElene asked with a minor tremble in her voice that made Sigrid smile.

"Are you afraid?" Sigrid reached her hand down and tilted madElene’s face.

The question seemed to be simple and yet the malevolence of the smile on Sigrid’s face rattled madElene,

making her feel uneasy.

She averted her eyes and tried to look away but Sigrid clenched the hand around madElene’s jaw tighter. "I

said, are you afraid?"

MadElene drew in a sharp shaky breath and smiled, she had dealt with all sorts of people over the course of

forty four years that she had been in the body selling business and one thing she knew was that crazy people

were dangerous. The crown princess had a crazy and very dangerous look in her eyes.

But, even though she was afraid, madElene refused to give in to the fear, she had worked so hard to bow

that easily. She had looked the king in the eyes and done business with him, she had also taken a few lives

before, what was there to fear about a crown princess that was wet behind the ears?

"If you are here to kill me, just get it over with."

Sigrid’s hand moved from madElene’s jaw to her neck and slowly she started increasing pressure. Madame

Elene started to struggle for breath and she tapped the floor.

"For the last time, are you afraid?" Sigrid asked in a soft but low deadly voice.

MadElene nodded desperately and Sigrid finally let her go, pushing her away as if the woman disgusted her.

It took around thirty seconds for madElene to catch her breath and gather sstrength.

She did not respect standing up randomly this tround, especially when she saw the fan make an appearance

in Sigrid’s hands.

Her brothel hosted knights and servants of nobles, so she used it as a chance to eavesdrop and use her workers

to extract sinformation from them.

She was the leader of Eldoria’s biggest blackmail network using that information, she was careful of course and

nobody had caught on to it yet because she used the incense to drug and confuse them.

A few weeks ago, she had heard about Sigrid using a fan to cut off the arm of governess Lim and sred

knights. MadElene’s right arm tingled, she touched it subconsciously, praying that Sigrid would not

amputate her. She did not want to live as a cripple, nobody would respect her in the business if that happened.

She gritted her teeth." Crown princess, would you like stea or a glass of fox fire brew?"

Sigrid sneered, the old witch would probably poison her if she said yes.

"You even know my favorite choice in wines, have you been looking for information to use to blackmailor do

| have servants with lose lips?"

MadElene clenched her hands and raised her head, astonished by the use of the word blackmail.

They would kill her family as well, and burn down her brothel. Never before had she felt cornered like this, she

wondered how the crown princess knew her secrets.

"Get up." Sigrid ordered.

Brolin pulled madElene up and made her sit down in the chair he had previously dragged her from.

Sigrid spread her fan and then closed it with a snap which made madElene jump.

Hmm, that plot was not in the book, madElene and her brothel had not been mentioned after she was killed

by Rina. Sigrid had cto buy two whores, but her plans had to be changed.

She held her hand out. "Givethe title deed to this property for safe keeping, letbe clear, if you want your

life and that of your family then you work for me. From now on, | own you."
