The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 48: Emmah’s carefully crafted story.

Sigrid took a deep breath, she shifted her gaze from Roland to Emmah. Was this something they had discussed

before, the medal of protection against death? It had not been mentioned anywhere in the , that such a

request had been made, Roland had straight away asked for king Raff's permission to take Emmah as a

secondary wife.

Had things changed because she had removed the option of Roland having a secondary wife?

While she was racking her mind for a way to stop the king from granting Emmah a death free medal, the nobles

loudly debated on Roland's request.

"She is a commoner, of what use would she have such a medal?"

"A noble title! how ambitious of her."

"Obviously something must be going on between them, he might as well ask for her to be named a princess."

"This cannot be done, absolutely not, if the king is going to hand them out like sweets then | want one for my

family as well."

Soon, the king and queen were frowning, the general consensus that seemed to be shared by all the nobles was

no. Many of them were glancing at Roland with unfiltered ridicule in their eyes. The crown prince had

overshadowed his own victorious return by making a stupid request and queen Maurelia was unwilling to watch

what was certain to a scandal ruin her son’s accomplishment.

"Crown prince, you should know when not to be excessive, | understand that you want to repay Miss Emmah’s

grace but her requests should be within reason."

She wanted to flip the script quickly by turning the story on Emmah and making it appear as if she was the one

that had made the demands and Roland simply voiced them out.

Emmah’s halo glowed fiercely, she bit her lower lip and coughed, once again blood fell from her mouth.

Roland frowned on seeing it. "Mother, this has nothing to do with Emmah..."

"I understand, you want to repay her and she is obviously very willing to be rewarded for a good deed that she

did without expectation of any rewards. She is a citizen of Eldoria after all, to protect the crown prince is the duty

of every citizen, as the king and queen we are very grateful to her which is why | will be sending her a box from

my personal collection of gold and silver. | will add jewels and dresses to the collection and...."

"Mother." Roland fell to his knees, stunning the crowd. "Emmah needs the medal of death, she saved my life

using magic."

He revealed the secret because she had used magic in the presence of other soldiers, witnesses that would no

doubt report it to the king. As a matter of fact, the sword mages had been determined to take her to the estate

and strip of her magic or kill her.

His revelation drew sgasps from the room, a few looks of horror and a lot of accusing glares. In between the

plethora of emotions going around was sympathy for Emmah from snobles, they knew what her fate would

be.

King Raff slammed his hand down and his knights pulled out their swords. Roland and Benjamin stepped in front

of Emmah acting as if they would defend her to the death.

"Roland!" the queen gasped.

"Get away from her Benjamin." Rina ordered.

They both refused to listen to their mothers, like possessed men, they stood still and looked around vigilantly.

"Crown prince, third prince, what do you think you are doing?" King Raff questioned.

"Father, she saved my life at the risk of hers not just on the battlefield but here at home. She knew that a death

sentence is what would be awaiting her if she returned to Eldoria and it cto be known that she has healing

abilities." Roland explained with sminor desperation in his voice.

Lord Benwick quickly stepped forward. "Crown prince, it is a crfor a woman to possess magic. She has been

keeping this secret for years which is questionable, for all we know she used her abilities deliberately when she

saved you."

Murmurs went around, heads nodded and others hook.

Emmah tically fell to the ground and slowly tried to kneel but it took great effort as if she had many

wounds on her body. Benjamin helped her up, putting her back in the wheelchair.

"Do not harm yourself, explain to the king, he will understand." he told her softly.

Emmah looked up at Benjamin with

tear soaked eyes, clinging to his

hands for dear life as he nodded. She

turned her head to Rees mM

She shook her head frantically with wide eyes, looking like a standard damsel in distress that was afraid of the

sun, wind and rain. In addition to this, her voice becsmaller but her sobs stronger.

Emmah lowered her head in palms and she continued to sob, what others could not see was that she was smiling

as well.

Her story was a well crafted one that she had practiced in her mind over and over, it was an incredible tale of

extraordinary bravery and selflessness.

She was the poor maiden that had saved the life of the crown prince against all odds, and she had been willing

to give her life for him. Who would not feel smercy for her after listening to her sob story?
