The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 40: King Raff's unknown past.

Momentarily, Lana, Lama and Brolin experienced sthought provoking silence, pondering on the information

that had fallen into their ears.

The two maids had been told not to move or make a sound but they could not help at peeking through the holes

in the masks to get a good look at madElene.

Had she really deliberately calculated the king and queen by sending a whore into the king's bed? If yes, why?

Brolin was wondering the same, and he knew for sure that if the king or queen heard about this, Elene Greenfield

was a dead woman. She would not die easily, she would be sent to a torture chamber first and then killed.

The three of them were also internalizing new information, a whore had been sent into the king's bed to ruin the

queen’s marriage, was that whore Rina? Other than the secondary consort, no other woman in Eldoria had

brought more grief to the queen.

No wonder the crown princess had told them that they would lose their heads if the queen ever cto know

that they were aware about her affairs.

"I have no idea of what you speak of." madElene denied, averting her guilty eyes from Sigrid’s sharp ones.

"It is not often that the king visits a brothel." Sigrid said. "He has no need for the services they offer, there are

hundreds of women serving in the royal castle that are willing to share his bed with or without a title.

Not just inside the royal castle but in the kingdom, all he has to do is ride out of the royal castle on his horse and

they throw themselves in his path."

"lI am not one of them." MadElene stated.

Sigrid shrugged, "Neither am | but that is not the point | am making. You collect information here, | am guessing

that you found out that the king was coming here for a secret meeting with Lord Galdriel Night, so you brought

out your most prized possession two days before she was supposed to make her debut."

MadElene gulped and Sigrid laughed softly, she had hit the nail on the head by piecing together information

from the , system and deductions after meeting Elene.

"You are clever little minx, how did the king spare your life when he killed all those that knew Rina’s identity? If

you lie to me, | will know and then cut off your fingers, one by one until you have no fingers left. Or maybe I will

blind your eyes, you cannot read if you have no eyes."

Sigrid had already observed that in Elene’s office were hundreds of books on shelves, truly, reading was her

passion. If you wanted a person to bend, you had to threaten what was most precious to them.

"Bringshot coal and an iron bar or a tool like that." She ordered.

Elene had been reluctant to talk, when she realized that Sigrid meant business, she jumped up and shook her

head.

"A son, a bastard son, the king has one." she blurted out.

Sigrid’s eyebrows shot up in astonishment. "Ohh." she said slowly.

Elene fell back down into the chair and she whimpered, feeling more defeated than she had ever been in such a

long time.

"Elaborate." Sigrid encouraged.

Elene sighed, she figured that Sigrid already knew all or most of her secrets so there was nothing left to hide. It

was best to find a way out of this mess with her life intact, her children safe and her business continued.

"Before | becmadElene, | used to live in Sheepfield, a small farming village on the edge of

Brackenworth city, leading into medicine valley.

Before the war with Nemoris, the crown prince, or current king and his guards cto Sheepfield to gather

herbs and find smiracle flower that was supposed to help in saving the life of the sick former king.

They lived there for three months and during that time, he met a girl named Risa Ann Marcella, she was a

servant for the doctors that lived in medicine valley and she acted as a messenger between the doctors and the

crown prince.

Risa was beautiful, she looked a lot like Rina but softer and more easy going, she was the kind of woman whose

beauty attracted everyone, she was so kind that she lacked a mean bone in her body.

She liked to pick flowers, sing to the sheep, laugh at wind, treat the sick for free, tell children stories, my God,

she was like sunshine." Elene’s eyes went a little misty. "A light that never went out until the crown prince fell in

love with her.

He liked her easy going nature, the way she run through fields of flowers with her hair down laughing so

lightheartedly. He loved her beautiful face and gentle ways, how she had no scheming bone in her body, how she

danced when the moon was rising.."

"The blossoming moon flower.." Sigrid muttered.

MadElene heard her and she

He promised that he would not marry the Kensington bride that had long been betrothed to him but her. That he

would take her to the capital and give her a big wedding, she would live a noble woman he would plant gardens

of flowers for her.

He promised that he would not restrict her freedom to study medicine, her son would inherit the throne and he

would have no other wife but her. All that and many other promises which made all the young maidens of

Sheepfield jealous, Risa had made it out, she was lucky.

What only I, my sister Francis and two other women in the village knew was that Risa got in the family way and

shortly after that, the crown prince left Sheepfield promising to return for her."

She slammed clenched her fist, "Do you know how heartbroken Risa was when she heard the news? She had

already given birth to a son for him, she had been waiting for more than a year and he never once sent word to

her. He did not send anyone to pick her up as he had promised.
