The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 51: The crown princess has magic!

Her hands were yet to caress the young buds of the roses when a distressed Emmah cried out.

"Crown princess, | know that | am not as blessed as you to be born from a noble family but that doesn’t mean

you should ruin my honor and that of the crown prince. | might be a weak insignificant woman with no roots but |

will never be a mistress."

Her halo shone brightly once again and very quickly, murmurs in Emmah’s defense traveled at lightning speed,

reaching the ears of the king and queen. More than a few disapproving and hostile glances were shot at Sigrid’s

back.

She turned her head around and replied, "You are also an engaged woman that sat by quietly while svery

misguided or ignorant people suggested that you be married to my husband. What does something like that say

about your reputation and that of the crown prince?"

All those that had been defending Emmah suddenly recalled that Sigrid had indeed mentioned that Emmah was

engaged.

"Your highness, | have no idea what engagement the crown princess speaks of." Emmah denied with quickness.

"Oh, is that true?" King Raff asked.

"I tell no lie your highness, | have never been engaged before and | have been exploring the land of mist for two

months, | do not know about any engagement of which the crown princess speaks." Emmah replied with

strength.

The weakness in her voice was gone and not once did she cough, a thing that ssharp eyed people like the

queen noticed.

"I arranged the engagement." Sigrid admitted loudly. "It was a reward for your mother in return for all her work

for our Thorin duchy. | even chose one of the highest earning shop keepers for you, he has neither main or

secondary wife. He has no bastard children, a house in the capital, and farm in the country. Which of conditions

is to your displeasure?"

With clear logic, Sigrid poked holes in Emmah’s words and the courtiers once again whispered and mostly

nodded. For a commoner, that kind of marriage was more than great.

But not everyone bought into what Sigrid was selling, especially those that were firmly under the halo’s grasp.

"Crown princess, a divine messenger cannot be married off to a commoner, that is an insult to her reputation."

Prminister Windrider opposed. "My king, | suggest that such an engagement be terminated immediately.

What if the divine messenger is angered and decides to leave Eldoria? We cannot..."

"Oh shut up Windrider." Sigrid groaned.

The nobles gasped, including the king and queen. More than a few jaws in the hall dropped open as shock hit

everyone.

Prince Roland could not even recognize the new Sigrid, she was vastly different from the old one, still

domineering but with a different quality he could not put a finger on.

He started to walk in her direction with the intention of stopping her from saying anything further and

apologizing to the prminister.

Sigrid placed her hands over the flowers and a cracking noise was heard, suddenly the young flowers doubled in

size and height, growing rapidly as if by magic, which everyone realized it was and once more, communal shock

engulfed the people in the hall.

The king and queen stood up for they could not believe what they were witnessing, everyone was caught by

surprise that they did not notice when the lord mage entered the hall and made his way to the front. He stood at

the base of the stairs, waiting for Sigrid’s little magic show to end.

Everyone else held their breath in, maintaining silence, afraid to say the wrong thing. They did not even know

what the right thing to say was and simply remained in place as a myriad of emotions and thoughts passed

through them.

It was one thing for a woman to have the gift of magic, it was another for that woman to happen to be married

into the royal family, after all the decision to strip girls of magic at birth was because one female mage almost

caused the ruin of the kingdom. It had taken a rebellion and the sacrifice of a group of brave knights and mages

to turn things around.

The air was heavy with expectation as the nobles looked to the king for a decision, but the king was speechless

and he was looking at the queen whose expression mirrored his.

"She...she..magic!" Someone exclaimed.

The heavy silence was broken and the nobles started to whisper, their low hums of unease echoed through the

hall. It was quite different from the way they had reacted to Emmah, nobody was falling onto their knees to beg

the king not to behead Sigrid.

Emmah was the most troubled person in the hall for she had just declared herself a divine messenger which

would have worked well if she was the first female mage of Eldoria, but now, the crown princess had magic too,

so where did it leave her?

Her halo glowed, a sharp light separate from it and shot into the head of the kingdom's chief advisor, Sir Reese

Acton.

It was him that spoke up first in a

A collective gasp rippled through the room. The nobles exchanged shocked and fearful glances, they erupted in

murmurs again.

Duke Thorin took to his feet and

Another light from Emmah’s halo hit it like a bullet and he raised his head.

"This is different, she is married to the crown prince, she should have reported it to the king immediately if

magic was awakened within her.

"Yes," the prminister said in support of Sir Acton’s words.

"And what would the king have done about it?" Duchess Mila quizzed.
