Chapter 221: 3 princes for Mauve.
"Oh...Of course | want to see my daughter thrive in her marriage." Lady Silver responded rapidly.
It almost seemed as though she did not want Sigrid to think of her as a bad mother.
"Good, then you must consider her own desires before yours. Her marriage will be hers, not yours, you already
have your own marriage. You can share your opinion on who courts her but you cannot force your choice on her. |
am already aware that there are three princes courting Mauve currently." Sigrid took the empty bottle away from
Void’s mouth. The panther was already sleeping, its little stomach was as round as the sun.
"Didn't your parents choose your husband?" Lady Silver twisted a handkerchief in her hands as she waited for an
answer.
Sigrid shook her head. "My parents did not choose Roland, the king did. He practically commanded my
grandfather to set the marriage, my parents were not given a choice.
You have no idea how terrified | was to be marrying the crown prince. Who in Eldoria did not know how much he
disdained me? Who was not aware that the king was simply ordering us to marry in order to control my family
because he saw us as a threat?"
"And yet it worked out." Lady Silver shrugged. "No matter who Mauve marries, it will work out in the end."
Sigrid’s memory drew back to her wedding day, she had punched her husband before the ceremony and on their
wedding night, they got into a fight. Then he went to war and returned with Emmah. If she had not been
calculative every step of the way, she would still be Roland's undesired wife. A mockery that all of Eldoria
laughed at.
When people saw Roland doting on her now, they had no idea how far they had cand how much scheming
she had done to win his heart.
Sigrid smiled stiffly and she said, "No offense Lady Silver but every marriage had its secrets, mine is not the
exception. But, back to Mauve, who do you think is right for her? Prince Benjamin?"
Lady Silver coughed into the handkerchief.
Sigrid meanwhile took the coughing to mean that Benjamin, though not a desirable candidate was still an option
as he was now seeking marriage to Mauve voluntarily. His intentions were not honest however and Sigrid believe
that Emmah was the brains behind it. "I heard that he sent flowers to your estimate and he has been by twice to
see your husband."
"He is not the only one." Lady Silver mumbled.
Sigrid nodded. "That is true, Prince Firron has also cby more times than Benjamin."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLady Silver's lips curled upwards in a smile at the mention of Firron’s name.
"Aah, so he is the choice you want to make." Sigrid whispered to herself. Then, she raised her voice and said, "I
hope you know that if you encourage Mauve and Firron to be involved the Rosewood house will be making an
enemy of the king. Does your entire house intend to follow the prince back to Solandor when he eventually
leaves?
You do know that the king will not spare your whole family if he sees this as a betrayal, right? He will find a
reason to hung you all, not just the Rosewood’s but your maternal family too Lady Silver."
Lady Silver's face paled.
Sigrid continued to pat Void’s belly. running her fingers trough her sleek thin fur. "I have another question. What
do you really know about Prince Firron of Solandor?"
Mauve suddenly rushed into the living room, yelling at the top of lungs.
"Mama, | did not know that you were coming over. | am sure that you have cbecause of the scandal
involving | and Prince Galen. | am not a mistress or a courtesan, someone must be out to smear my reputation.
Just you wait until | find out who it is, | will send my moth Mistry to fly them to the furthest end of the earth and
dropped them in a hole they can never climb out of."
Heaving she sat down, her face was slightly red.
Mistry the moth abandoned Mauve’s shoulder and settled on top of Sigrid’s head while they were waiting for her
clam down.
"Mrs. Elsworth..." Lady Silver called the governess that followed Mauve into the living room. Her voice was
sightly raised in a high pitch, they could tell that she was about to say something in a sarcastic tone.
"What a wonderful job you have done in keeping Mauve’s reputation pristine. Clearly | overestimated your
abilities when | put her in your strict hands."
Mrs. Elsworth shook her head, opened her mouth to say something. In the end, a sigh was all that she could
manage.
"lI am not a child to be managed mama. My relationship is Prince Galen is mine and mine alone." Mauve up for
herself.
"So there is a relationship." Lady Silver smiled bitterly.
"Perhaps now is the tto mention the fact that | am going to war along with Sigrid tomorrow." Mauve dropped
an even bigger bomb.
Lady Silver's jaw dropped open.
"If I die in Nemoris, nobody will have to worry about my reputation anymore. A dead woman does not make the
most beautiful bride | suppose." Mauve snickered.
Lady Silver turned to Sigrid. Her eyes were burning with more fury than they had contained when she arrived at
the Vale.
She got on her feet and started to pace really quickly from left to right. Meanwhile, nobody said a word, they all
knew it was best to wait for Lady Silver's reaction and when she finally did, her words were not very surprising.

"She has not been ruined." Sigrid said.
"Or maimed." Mauve added.
Lady Silver snarled at them. "Shut up, both of you."
