The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 184: A prince on the way.

At a half past six in the evening, Sigrid finally made an appearance that told everyone at The Vale that she had

officially ended her mourning period. For one, she was not wearing black anymore, her dress of choice was a

yellow evening gown that flowed down seamlessly and bunched up around her feet.

The news of her appearance in a colorful dress traveled quickly through the castle. Word that she had been

smiling and walking arm in arm with the crown prince was shared and noise returned to the castle. While she

had been grieving, everyone had been tiptoeing around, afraid to make the slightest noise as if any sound could

remind her of her tragedy.

As they approached the dining room whose entirely lay out had been changed, Roland could still not believe that

Sigrid was back to her old self. He stole another glance at her again.

"What is wrong? Is there something on my face?

He shook his head. "I am just wondering if you are really back or simply teasingand | will have to dig you out

of bed again tomorrow."

She shook her head. "There will be no need for that, while | cannot say that | have moved past my grief

completely, | can assure you that | will not be hiding in my bedroom anymore. The Windrider house still stands,

as do the Fairfax’s. The Eclipsion sword is still missing four shards, the prince of Solandor has yet to meet

Emmah and fall in love with her at first sight."

"Aah...about that..." Roland’s smile turned sheepish. "I have news about that. The prince will be arriving in less

than a week, depending on how fast his air ship is traveling. | guess those merchants from Solandor in the

restaurant three months ago returned and said good things about Eldoria. The prince is not coming alone, three

ships are accompanying him. Rudbeck and Evermore have been living on a ship for a month, watching the skies

for any changes."

Sigrid shot him a startled look, this was a big unexpected change in the book. In the original , the prince

had been traveling incognito and he did not display his flying ships. What had brought on the sudden change in

the plot? It couldn't be the food for sure.

"Its the sword dummy." Cosmos provided the answer in a frustrated voice as if he was tired of explaining things

to someone with slow understanding.

In turn, she looked at Roland and said, "He is here for the sword."

"He would not be the only one." Roland shared. "In the last two weeks, many dignitaries from neighboring

kingdoms and empires have poured into the kingdom from near and far. The capital is filled with at least a

thousand new faces that don’t show signs of evacuating any tsoon. Crimes like theft have increased during

the night, the foreigners are squandering money deliberately to loosen the lips of people."

"Increase the patrols." Sigrid suggested. "Have more red knights dress up as ordinary citizens and get jobs in

taverns and brothels. Scan even blend in with the homeless or beggars in alleys."

Roland's lips curled upwards in a smile. "This is one of the reasons why | missed you. See, | never would have

thought of having knights act as beggars on the streets. We did have them infiltrate staverns and brothels

but its far from enough."

"Do not forget inns too and stables where the foreigners park their carriages." Sigrid further suggested.

Roland gestured for Sir Samuel who was following them to pass on the orders derived from Sigrid’s suggestions.

"What else have | missed?" she asked. "The Shadowmere’s how have they fared in their affairs?"

Roland stopped walking and he frowned, suddenly he turned them both around and they changed direction from

heading to the dining room to the moving room. "Have dinner sent to the living room." he told Charles.

"Why are we eating in there?" She asked curiously.

"The chairs are comfortable, we can sit close together and watch the finale episode of the first season of The rise

of Lady Blanche." He answered with a cheeky smile on his face.

Sigrid had no arguments against the change in location, the only reason why she sat around the dining table was

because it was expected of her. She was an eating in the living room while watching TV from the sofa kind of girl.

Roland sank into a soft cream sofa and pulled Sigrid down to sit on his lap. He had missed the feeling of

closeness with her, now that she was not grieving anymore he was glad to be able to hold her once again.

"The Shadowmere’s?" Sigrid quizzed.

A shadow fell over Roland's face which made her curious.

"It doesn’t seem like you have pleasant news to share." She remarked.

He shook his head before responding, "They successfully crushed a mutiny on their ships but Alfred Shadowmere

was lost in the fight." He took a few breaths and continued, "When | say fight, | mean an actual fight with swords

and flames. The Shadowmere’s did not want the captains that had turned against them to escape so they sailed

out and ambushed the men on the sea. They lost two ships in a fire but that does not put a dent in their

magnificent fleet. As for Alfred, he was stabbed in the heart with a dagger.

There was no mage on board and the

doctor they had could not save him.

Your father toldthat the Shadowmere’s believe they cfrom the sea so when they die they return to the

sea."

"Well, how sad for them to lose one of their own." She said.

Roland turned the TV on and answered nonchalantly, "You saved the entire family from death with your early

warning. Had it not been for you, they would all have been wiped out."

At exactly seven, the thsong for

Roland, whose head was buried in Sigrid’s neck had just one question. "Before the episode starts airing, can you

tellif it is going to have a happy ending?"

"There would be no second season if the ending was happy for everyone." She answered.

Roland groaned, he had a bad feeling and when the episode ended, he was so glad that Lady Iryne was not at

The Vale because nobody would get any sleep otherwise.
