Chapter 185: The end of a season.
For starters, the heroine, Lady Somerset's entire family had just been beheaded by the king because Duke
Somerset's popularity with the commoners had stirred suspicion and jealousy. She had barely escaped the city
with her life.
Lady Blanche had successfully given birth to her brothers baby, a boy. Her husband was a proud father unaware
that the child was not his. He had also not seen Blanche and her brother holding hands and smiling intimately
behind his back but the prince's legal wife, the crown princess had seen it.
An unfamiliar woman with eyes that blazed with fire had risen out of a lake and said Blanche’s name.
"I have so many questions.” Roland said. He covered his mouth with both hands and shook his head. His eyes
were widened in disbelief.
"And | have zero answers." Sigrid lied.
"The king killed the Somersets Sigrid, he killed all of them...well, most but still, | cannot believe that he killed
them. The duke was a respected man and his head was tossed into the crowd to play with as a ball. Goodness!!!
Is anybody safe in this kingdom of Canterbury?"
"No." Sigrid answered.
"Who is that woman, the one with fire in her eyes? Is she a new witch? Is she good or bad? Is she Blanche’s
friend or foe?"
He fired off many questions without giving her a chance to reply. It got Sigrid thinking that he was no different
from her mother because she was sure to be asking Elowin these squestions. If they had mobile phones,
she was sure that her mother would be on the phone complaining about the ending, sharing her opinions and
asking questions.
"I don’t know." she told Roland. "Honestly, | have no idea what the plan is for the next season." She had to pay
the bank a visit and buy a second season and then make schanges to the script and pass it on to the writer
in a dream. Then she had to use magic to make him think he had already written the script. He would also make
changes before Elowin entered the picture and the shooting started.
Roland sunk against the sofa and sighed, "I cannot believe that Lady Blanche survived to the end and had a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthappy ending. Why is Lady Somerset the heroine? Every tshe has gone up against Lady Blanche she has
lost? | don’t know about you but | think we need a better heroine. One that actually knows how to do her job." he
groaned passionately in anger.
"The series is called the dark rise of Lady Blanche, | think the mistake a lot of Eldorians make is in removing the
word dark. | hate to say this but Blanche will be winning for a while. The heroine will only have her victory at the
very end so if there are five, six, ten seasons, Somerset's win will cat that time," She saw Roland's face fall
further and added, "This does not mean things will be smooth sailing for Lady Blanche, she is going to incur her
own stumbling blocks and suffer losses."
"That makesfeel better." Roland sighed in relief.
Sigrid shook her head. "My love, | think you are so caught up in picking sides that sthings are lost on you.
Lady Blanche is a princess, her family is the ruling family. She has a crown prince that is in love with her and
willing to do anything for her. She has the power to command an army. She has wealth to raise her own knights,
pay off witnesses and do whatever she wants.
Lady Somerset has magic but no army, she is not royalty. In order to fight royalty, she needs to raise an army
and convince the other houses to stand with her. The love of the commoners is not enough for her to defeat Lady
Blanche.
Another fact people forget is that Lady Blanche was trained in dark magic by the three witches of Cahir tower.
Lady Somerset has never been trained, her magic is natural and pure. While her natural talent is the strongest of
any mage that has ever lived in Canterbury, she is personally weak. There is no ruthlessness in her bones. She is
afraid to kill and her first instinct is always to find a peaceful way to resolve the problem."
Roland snorted. "While she is looking for that peaceful way, someone always dies and then she cries." He let out
another snort. "I don't like her, | don’t think I would mind it if Blanche killed her. Let fire eyes woman be the new
heroine, she looked like she had sfight in her."
"It sounds like Lady Blanche is growing on you." She commented.
Roland gasped, "No, absolutely not. | might not like the heroine but the villain is not who I am rooting for. | would
rather support Lord and Lady Eden of House Cenred to take the throne of Canterbury. Lets not forget the rival
king Voltraf of Ambion and Queen Freida of Ealdor, they are good characters too.
| am not just watching for the rivalry between Blanche and Somerset or the lose morals of half of the characters.
The politics hasbewitched. There are lessons to learn from the noble houses and rulers in the series." He
defended himself strongly.
Sigrid mustered a little energy to raise her shoulders. "I can see that." she muttered.
She stretched her arms and rearranged her position, laying down with her head on Roland's lap. Out of the
corner of her eye, she saw the door open and noticed Jesting. Roland gestured for the butler to leave them alone.
Before Jesting closed the door, Lanai brought desert for them. Mauve followed her inside and the young woman
looked over Sigrid curiously.
"Your highness, are you okay now?" she asked.
Sigrid nodded. "How could | not be when you have been inventing every desert in the world to boost my appetite
in the last two weeks?" She raised her head slightly and smiled. "You are a good friend Mauve."
Mauve threw her head back and run out of the room shouting for Mrs. Elsworth, rushing to inform her that Sigrid
had called her a good friend.
"There she goes running through the castle and shouting, she is worse than Sunny." Roland muttered.
Jesting entered the living room again

Before leaving, Jesting flashed a hopeful smile at Roland which made Sigrid chuckle.
"Tch! Is Jesting here for your secret love affair?"
"Huh!" Roland blinked a few times, confused. "What love affair?"

Sigrid burst into laughter, while she was laughing the door was opened again and Sunny rushed inside,
launching himself at Sigrid with excitement.
"| told you he missed you."
Sigrid made her mind in that moment as she endured Sunny’s love. "You know what, lets get new dogs
tomorrow."
