The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 57: It took one bone.

"What in the blazes are you talking about!!" Roland exclaimed, he tugged on Sigrid’s arm and turned her around.

"Have you lost your marbles? Why would we adopt a grown woman?"

Sigrid shrugged, "Because she clearly wants to move in with us." she answered. "We cannot have a young

unmarried woman moving in with us, what if something unspeakable happens and people point their fingers at

you?"

Roland tugged on Sigrid’s hand to get her to stop talking, the things she was saying could easily ruin a woman's

reputation.

"Sigrid, don’t be excessive." Princess Thalassa stomped her foot, pointed at Sigrid and yelled. "It wasthat

suggested Emmah move to the The Vale, do not accuse her wrongly and ruin her reputation."

Sigrid scoffed in Thalassa’s direction, the young woman who was only twenty one was very gullible and foolish,

traits that Emmah was taking advantage of.

Thalassa had little sense because she had been spoiled rotten since childhood, in addition to that, Rina had

taught her how to seduce and schin order to land herself a prosperous marriage, convincing her that it was

the only thing that mattered more than all the knowledge her governess had tried to impart into her.

"Aah, so one engaged but unmarried woman has misled our crown princess." Sigrid said lightly and then her

voice becmore serious, "Princess, you are young and unmarried, if people hear that you sent a woman to

your brother, they will assthings about you.

Your reputation will be damaged, | am afraid that this will impact you negatively. A princess in Medoris was

caught in a scandal similar to this and she is now married to a butcher."

A small crowd had gathered closer to the table where the king, queen and consort Rina were sitting. Sigrid’s

words worked best as always, more of them frowned at Emmah and showed their disapproval for the princess.

Rina jumped back, "Sigrid, how can you...."

Sigrid raised her hand in a fashion similar to that of the king. "Consort, | am the crown princess, you should not

embarrass the king by referring toby my name. If people learn from you and start to addressby my

ntoday, tomorrow they will do the sto the king. You have a governess, didn’t she teach you these

rules?"

King Raff shot Rina and Thalassa equal looks of disapproval, forgetting that he was the one that opened the topic

up for discussion in public. He was also partially drunk and hearing that people would disrespect him made him

angry.

Consort Rina did not see the king's furious gaze, she was filled with anger especially at the mention of the

governess. In her books, Sigrid had killed her governess, not her or the king.

She screeched and picked up a bone of venison that was devoid of meat and hurled it at Sigrid. The action

aroused a communal gap from the women and smen.

Sigrid did not move, she wanted the bone to hit her, in fact her lips moved up slowly in a smile. The more Rina

showed an unflattering side of hers to the king, the faster she would be abandoned.

So, she welcomed the bone with open arms like a dweller of a desert welcoming rain, but unfortunately for her,

the rain did not fall. Roland reacted quickly, placing himself between Sigrid and the bone.

It landed on Roland's back, arousing another gasp from the people. This tround, it was from everyone, even

the musicians stopped playing their instruments. The entertainers stopped moving, two fire dancers were almost

burned as the torches in their hands fell down.

Whispers traveled like wind across the blades of grass in the meadow, disbelief coated the air, spreading widely.

While most could not believe what Rina had done, Sigrid could not believe that Roland had protected her.

The white knights drew the swords as did most guards, but they did not move for they were lost on how to

respond. An attack on the crown prince was supposed to be handled by immediate execution or capture of the

attacker but the attacker in this case was the king's favorite woman.

"Arrest her, what are you waiting for?" Sigrid questioned them.

They looked from Sigrid to Rina, then to the king and crown prince. Never before had they been more torn on

what to do?

"l..I...My king." Rina cried out and grabbed onto the king's arm.

Out of the blue, the queen stood up, walked to Rina and slapped her, an act that had people's jaws falling.

King Raff slammed his hand on the table, and everyone readied themselves to watch the queen being dragged

away. She had just slapped the king's favorite woman, she would be lucky to have a head on her shoulders.

Rina looked at the queen and Sigrid with a proud smirk on her face, she was sure they would pay for what they

had done to her.

"Remove the consort and send her to her chambers, for the next one month she is to be grounded to her

quarters, studying the rules on etiquette of noble women." The king ordered.

It was if a gun had been fired and everyone was too stunned to move, except for the fire dancers whose torches

dropped again and they jumped up and down before running off to find the nearest source of water.

"Wait, what?" Rina screamed."My king, why am | being punished, it was Maurelia that slappedand that bitch

Sigrid that killed my governess, why..."

"Remove her." The king barked.

Three knights and Rina’s maids

even more by directly calling the

More importantly, she had touched on the subject of the death of governess, a thing he did not want people

discussing.

"Your highness, | apologize for what has just happened, | did not intend to anger the consort." Sigrid stepped out

from behind the crown prince and she made a very fake apology.

"It is no secret that she dislikes me, she has already tried to harmonce and | forgave her but to calla

In the back of her mind, she counted, 3,2,1 and right on cue, princess Thalassa reacted like her mother.

"Sigrid, how dare you, you bitch..."

She was being called a bitch, but Sigrid was dancing on the inside, nothing was easy to manipulate like someone

controlled by their emotions.
