Chapter 67: A husband bridging gaps.
Sigrid understood human nature, it had been her job as a lawyer to learn what drove people and what irked
them. What buttons she could push to get what she desired and how to motivate and manipulate others to make
them do as she wished.
Roland, was the kind of person that worked best if he was working for the good of others, that’s why she used
‘we’ and not you.
It was a subtle reminder that every decision he was making was not just for his benefit but hers and those
around him.
Roland clapped his hands and the doors were opened, a group of knights entered, carrying in their hands four
large chests and one had a document in hand which he handed to Roland.
When they excused themselves, he pushed the document towards Sigrid.
He placed a hand over hers and looked into her eyes with genuine sincerity. "This is a town house which |
acquired today morning, you were right, its not appropriate for Emmah to live with us with a vague identity. |
bought the house under your name, it is near the edge of the city, towards the gates as one is leaving Doria.
If you are not against it, she can live there as your guest for a while until she has recovered and then I will
reward her with one thousand gold and send her out of our lives. What do you think of my plan?"
Sigrid looked down at his hand first and then the document, apparently Roland had more surprises for her than
just a change in his behavior.
[Congratulations host for stealing another plot, the house which the crown prince bought for Emmah in the
is now owned by you.
Reward: The location of a luminite magical stone mine and knowledge on how the stones can be used for long
range broadcasting.]
Sigrid blinked, luminite mine, wasn’t this mine discovered by Emmah in the ? She remembered clearly that
Emmah found a mine and purchased it's ownership at a small fee from a farmer whose life she saved.
As a commoner, she could not obtain rights to mine the stones so she cooperated with the Ye family. On the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoutside, the Ye’s owned another magical stone mine but on the inside, Emmah was the one sitting on a pile of
money.
This happened two years into the plot, it seemed the bank was speeding up the plot for sreason. Perhaps
they were in a hurry to acquire the Eclipsion sword and get there halo back.
Emmah had used the stones to create magical technology like mobile phones, radios, and live television. It
looked like this pie was going to land in Sigrid’s lap as well.
She smiled at Roland, wondering if it would be too much to hug him. Truly, if she had known that there would be
many benefits from sleeping with him, she would have it on day one, before the wedding in fact.
"You are smiling, it seems you are pleased." Roland raised a hand to her cheek, he pushed back a strand of her
hair that was misbehaving.
"No," Sigrid blurted out quickly.
Roland blinked, confused by her rejection of his offer. "What are you saying no to exactly?"
Sigrid pulled the real estate document closer to her side. "This is the first gift that you have given tosince
our marriage, how can | allow another woman to live there? Emmah can stay with us for a while longer, | will take
care of her accommodations when its tfor her to move out. Besides, you may not be aware but my
grandmother gave Emmah’s mother a house, it is not like she is going to sleep on the streets if you do not find
her accommodation."
Roland scowled in frustration as his mind realized the foolishness he had been displaying, why had he been
running around under the impression that he needed to provide accommodation for Emmah when his wife's
family had already given Emmah’s mother a house?
"I don’t think | was aware of that." He said slowly.
"Well it’s true, not only did we give them a house but we gave them thousands in gold, a carriage and a horse. In
addition to that, my grandmother is willing to take Emmabh in for the duration of her healing, after all her mother
lived on the Thorin duchy for years." Sigrid added to the information she had already provided.
Roland let out a full hearted laugh and squeezed Sigrid’s hand. "You are truly generous, forgivefor my
presumptions | was under the impression that you disliked her immensely and were unwilling to assist her in any
way."
"Look," Sigrid turned her body and leaned forward, taking both of his hands in hers. "I will not lie to you, | don’t
like the way she carries herself, | find it deceitful and if you doubt my words, you can observe her for a while and
see for yourself what | mean. She is just like consort Rina, her words are always double layered and she acts as if
she is so fragile and everyone else in the world that does not agree with her is against her.
Because she has magic, she allowed others to refer to her as a divine messenger. When it turned out that there
are other women with magic, she did not correct the misunderstanding.
She knows that you are married and yet she does not hesitate to hold your hand or wear your cloak in public
despite the fact that she can see people discussing how inappropriate it is.
| am glad that she saved your life, but please do not expectto embrace her warmly when she openly
disrespects me."
"Okay, | understand." Roland replied with one head nod.

Cto think of it, she was a stranger to him as well and the only reason why he was allowing her to be around
was because she had saved his life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoland frowned, was he being excessive? Truly, holding his hand and Benjamin's at the stin public was
cause for frown. Why in the world had he behaved that way?
"What's in the boxes?" Sigrid looked at the chests that had been lined up against the wall.

Roland picked up one of the pins that had two strings with three pearls each and pushed it into her hair.
Sigrid touched it and she smiled. "If this is how you rewardeach twe have sex then we are going to be
