The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 110: Everyone!

The atmosphere was tense, and the air thick with unspoken secrets. Roland scanned the room observing his

wife's closest family members, one by one.

Through the tense silence which was broken by rustling fabric, one by one, hands began to rise. First, Lady Iryne

Thorin, then Lord Paxton Thorin followed by the elderly in the group, the duke and duchess. John went after

them, then the three males cousins, Sigrid and very reluctantly, Deanna raised her hand last.

Roland's eyes widened in shock, "All of you? Every single one of you?"

He could not believe that even pregnant Deanna had involved herself in something like that.

John sighed, "Not just us, every Thorin that is still int he city has tried." he admitted and sighed. Disappointment

was heavy in his voice that they had all tried but failed.

Duke Thorin nodded, "You must understand your highness that she poses a threat to our families."

"The positions of our heads rests solely on her death, this is an undisputed fact." The duchess added.

They all knew that each day Emmah woke up with breath in her lungs was another day that they were all in

danger.

Lady Iryne softly punched the chair, "We cannot just stand by and let her ruin our family and all we have worked

hard for. We did not start this feud, she did by targeting us. Sigrid called it self defense, we are defending

ourselves." She said with strength in her voice.

Several heads nodded, all in agreement with her words.

"For crying out loud what do our gold mines have to do with her? How is it any of her business? She is just

jealous because she cannot be crown princess so she wants Sigrid gone so that she can take up the position."

Deanna asked in an outraged voice.

Roland wanted to remind them that an illegal mining operation was technically the business of every citizen

because mines were used for the development of the kingdom, not just enriching individual owners.

He could not say this for the moment because he was bamboozled by the fact that a large number of Thorin’s

had tried to kill Emmah and they had all failed.

"How did you all fail?" he blurted the question out curiously.

Lady Iryne went first, her voice loud and without hesitation. "I had a maid at your hpoison her tea. | wanted

her death to be quick and painless, plus she is sick and coughing up blood all over the city so nobody would

think twice if she coughed herself to death."

Roland pointed outwards and rotated the finger, uncertain of how to respond. His mother-in-law was so daring to

go as far to killing someone under his roof.

"The maid said that just as she was about to drink the tea a gust of wind blew in flowers and they fell in the cup

so Emmah decided not to drink it." Lady Iryne finished.

"| paid someone to tamper with the brakes on the carriage she has been using. | thought it would look like an

accident but on that day, you decided to have all the carriages at the Vale repaired and Emmah used your

carriage." Duke Thorin admitted and shot Roland an accusing look.

Deanne stammered, "I...I..paid someone to push her into the moat on the day of the crown prince's return. |

hoped that she would drown and it would look like an accident but somehow, her wheelchair got stuck and the

maids assigned to look after fell in the most instead."

John pursed his lips before admitting, "I paid an assassin to kill her but just as he was about to do it, he was

mistaken for a thief and arrested. After being arrested, he was bitten by a snake in prison and he died on that

very day one minute before the real thief was arrested."

"Oh my God!!" Roland exclaimed.

Sigrid shrugged, "Like | said, she has a magic artifact which makes her lucky so no matter what we all do, she is

going to cout on the other end alive. What we have to do is counter her plans and ruin them, this makes the

artifact more and more powerless. Eventually, she will not be able to rely on it." She looked at the time, they had

been in the drawing room for close to three hours, it was tfor them all to disperse. If they were all away for

too long, people would notice. "I think we should..."

"I had someone administer sdrugs to a horse hoping that it would trample on her but instead, it leaped over

her and trampled on the person | paid. Now, he is still recovering and | am paying the medical fees." Duchess

Mila admitted out of the blue.

"As you ought to!" Roland exclaimed.

"Err..grandmother, it is not a must for everyone here to confess." Sigrid chuckled.

There was no response to that, none that anybody could cup with. Sigrid figured that they had frightened

Roland enough for the day and she decided to close the meeting.

"I suggest that we retreat now, people are bound to be wondering where we all are, especiallysince | have a

ball to plan." She shared.

Her mother hissed immediately as if she had a fresh wound that someone had touched. "I was meaning to have

a word with you about that ball where you are planning to auction men. Are you out of your mind?"

"You are on board with this." The duke asked Roland.

He nodded, at this point he could not resist either, his wife had already informed the king and question about the

bachelor auction and they had great expectations. The ball was rolling, nobody could stop it.

Sigrid rose from the chair and Roland did the same, they walked out of the drawing room, followed by the other

Thorin’s. She could hear her mother and grandmother discussing the changes the manor needed, according to

her mother it was too dull.

When Sigrid and Roland finally

settled in the carriage, she readied
