Chapter 44: Emmah would get a proper welcome.
Elowin sent Lanai out and when she returned, it was with a bag from which Elowin removed orbs in different
shapes and sizes.
"They can expand to different sizes and scan project onto a wall for large screen viewing. | have been able
to record a few things using mystic memory crystals, the crystal with already recorded data is attached to the
orb and then you select what you want to watch."
As he explained, he showed them how it worked, projecting onto the wall recorded footage which Sigrid regarded
to be behind the scenes footage from a palace harem series.
"Are you shooting already?" she asked, astonished.
She was not the only one that was astonished, all the Thorin’s were as they had never seen magic used in this
way. This was because all mages becsword mages, their talents were used to forge weapons not
entertainment trinkets.
"Is this a part of our castle?" Duke Thorin stood up, he walked to the wall and touched the image.
The others could not resist, they did the same, looking at their hands in wonder as reflections from the projection
feel on them. Only Sigrid remained behind, she was not new to televisions after all, even though these were
magical televisions, they did the sjob.
"There are people in there, talking!" Deanna gasped.
"They are called actors and actresses," Elowin shared proudly.
Sigrid had filled his mind with all sorts of lingo that was related to films and television, he was excited to be
working on something other than a sword. If all worked out well, he would be remembered as a great mage of
Eldoria instead of just another sword mage that had not accomplished anything major.
"What are you shooting?"
"The dark rise of lady Le Blanche," he shared with an eager smile. "It's about a kingdom in which magic is
banned and any woman that births a child with magic is put to death. The king's wife happens to give birth to a
daughter with magic, he loves his wife so he kills everyone that knows the secret and sends his daughter away
to a far away land with a knight.
Ten years later, the king allows magic to be restored, his daughter returns secretly but he rejects her for fear of
the secret coming out that he slaughtered children of others and saved his own.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe grows up to be resentful so she trains hard in magic waiting for an opportunity which comes when she saves
the life of the crown prince in battle and returns to the kingdom with him on a mission to wipe out the entire
royal family and becthe queen.
She does a lot of evil in order to get the throne, including sleeping with her own brother the crown prince!!"
The Thorin’s gasped, including Sigrid, that part was not in the script which she secretly gave to Mister Soleil,
Eldoria’s rising playwright.
She had handed it to him and told him to find Elowin, after that she hypnotized him using a pocket watch from
the bank into forgetting that they had met and believing that he had written the story.
Sigrid was now just learning that Mr. Soleil had made his own changes to the script which she wrote basing on
the character of lady Morgana Le Fay in the series Merlin.
Who knew where Mr. Soleil had got the idea to mix in sgof thrones.
"Err...brother are you sure that... mean will people hunt you down with torches for..." Sigrid waved her hand.
"You know what, the more despicable your lady Le Blanche is, the better. It will be a great welcto noble life
gift for Emmah, if the first episode is ready, let's have a viewing tomorrow at the royal castle."
Slowly, everyone returned to the table to put their heads together and continue the discussion.
"What else do we need to do?" John asked.
His eyes just like the others kept darting back to the screen.
"Lysander Windrider, the prminister's son. He is one of the men that will launch Emmah into our society, |
don’t want them to meet just yet or ever. Does anyone have any idea about how he can be stopped from
attending court tomorrow when Roland returns?"
The Thorin’s already had a list of all the people that Sigrid had said would be assisting Emmah, they had slowly
been working on making the lives of those people more troubled such that they would not have the resources to
help Emmah as much. They did not make a move to kill anyone unless Sigrid sanctioned it.
"Kill him." Deanna suggested.
It was always her first go to place and nobody blinked when she said it.
"I can’t, the voice in my dream toldnot to do it just yet meaning that he is useful to someone." she
responded.
She had figured that the bank had a use for him.
"Make him ill, it is forbidden for a sick individual to attend the king's court unless summoned by the king or
queen." Elowin made a different suggestion.
"Break his legs." Nathaniel chimed in.
"Let him attend." An unexpected voice contributed to the conversation suddenly.
All heads turned in Cosmos'’s direction, the large knight raised his flask as if to toast them and took a sip before
closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
In the last two months, duke Thorin had noticed that Sigrid listened to all the suggestions of the knight. No
matter how hard he raked his brain, he could not recall when, where or why he had hired Cosmos to be Sigrid’s
personal guard.
The relationship between Sigrid and Cosmos was more of a relationship between equals than master and
servant, another thing that the duke did not understand. Still, because of the knight's incredible strength, he had
cto respect the man.
"Why is that?" he asked.
"Don’t bother, he won't reply but there must be a good reason behind his words." Sigrid lowered her voice and
whispered, "He is a mage."
Many eyes bulged at the revelation because it was a big deal to be a mage, it cwith honors, wealth and
glory. Mages were on the slevel as nobles.
"He is a mage, how?" Duchess Mila queried.
"Why is he working as your personal guard?" Duke Thorn asked.
Elowin jumped out of his chair. "I have never seen, did he cfrom another kingdom? He is not a registered
Eldorian mage."
"How strong is he, what magic does he practice?" Deanna asked in an excited voice.
She, for one was itching to just shout it from the roof tops that their Thorin family had three mages, one more
that the royal family.

The Thorin’s settled and continued their talk, plotting against the foe that was already knocking on the gates of
the city.
