Chapter 28: A woman with magic!
She dropped one bomb after another, every word of hers sending fright through the bodies of the Iryne and
duchess Mila. They saw no hint of fear or proof of lies on Sigrid’s face, it appeared that she was quite serious
about what she had just said.
Duchess Mila took to her feet, walked closer to Sigrid and touched her forehead.
"Have you taken ill my dear? You have displayed sbehaviors that are unlike you of recent and | am
beginning to find them questionable. Aren't you in love with Roland, why do you seem so cold and indifferent to
him now?"
"| feel the sway," Iryne narrowed her eyes at Sigrid. "Is there something that you have been hiding from
us?"
A tremor run through Sigrid’s heart, she put the fork down and dubbed at the corners of her lips with a cloth
napkin. Slowly, she set it down and decided to weave a tale that she had long crafted to explain the changes in
her behavior.
"I did not mean to hide this from you but I think | awakened my magic talented." she said.
Once again, her mother and grandmother gasped. Duchess Mila stood up, the sudden action sent the chair
toppling to the floor.
Iryne rushed to close the windows, she even opened the doors to the parlors and asked the knights and servants
to step further away. After ensuring that they were safe, they sat closer to Sigrid, forming a circle. They lowered
the voices and started to speak in whispers.
"When did this happen?" Duchess Mila questioned.
"The night before my marriage to the crown prince was settled, | had a dream in which | saw the future, mine
and that of our family." she frowned.
"You saw the future, how?" The duchess asked. "Hold on, how do you have magic at your age? | have never
heard about magical talent awakening at such a late age.
‘It always presents at birth." Iryne said with absolute certainty.
"This is not good, if what you say is true then we are all in danger, when word reaches the king he will assume
that our family hid the secret deliberately. The entire Thorin family and all of our servants will be beheaded,
when | say entire family | mean all of us, all your aunts, cousins, uncles."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA woman with magic in the royal family was cause for an entire clan to be wiped out, this was because more
than a few women had used their magic to control kings and emperor's leading to the destruction of nations. It
was because of this that the law was made for all girls to be stripped of their magic.
All boys with magic automatically becsword mages, leading armies and safeguarding the land.
Sigrid was in a very dangerous position, the Thorin’s were in a very deadly position.
"The king will not know as long as we keep this between us, | have no intention of shouting about it from the
rooftops. Besides, apart from my prophetic dreams | have not exhibited any other signs of having magic." Sigrid
assured them. "In a few weeks, Mirena’s daughter will arrive in the capital, she has awakened her magical talent
as well. After she arrives, the laws regarding women and magic will be changed."
Emmah had saved the life of the crown prince using her healing magic and in the process of saving him, she was
wounded with a sword. When her secret was revealed, all the king’s ministers knelt down and pleaded for the
law of stripping magic from girls at birth be changed.
Sigrid saw no need to volunteer as the champion for that battle. at the end of the day, only one in a ten
thousand girls got the chance to awaken a magical talent.
"What does Mirena’s daughter have to do with this?" The duchess asked.
Sigrid’s eyes becfrosty at the thought of the fake female lead, memories of the death awaiting her if
Emmah was not dealt with cto the front of her mind.
"In my dream the king forcedto marry Roland, he went off to war on the night of the wedding. On the
battlefield, he was saved by Emmah, she saved his life using magic and took a sword for him.
He returned with her, treating her as if she were a priceless treasure and I, an unwanted stone in the path to
their happiness.
She was an adversary of our family, grandmother your reputation was ruined because you apparently forcefully
separated mother and daughter just because you wanted a servant.
My second and third brother lost their heads as a result of their attraction to her. Our Thorin family was framed
for treason and we were all killed one by one.
| was the last to die, it was on the day Emmah took the throne, she personally killedin the most ruthless way
possible.
She chopped off my arms and legs but healedjust enough to keepalive, | was force fed milk and honey
which resulted in severe diarrhea.
The mixture was smeared over my body, | was dumped in a deep dark well and insects and vermin were thrown
inside. The well was covered, a little hole was made on top of the cover to allow for sair.
Those insects bit me, my body started to rot, my death was slow, painfully slow."
She picked up a knife and stabbed it into the table, the fear and pain that she felt at her moment of death when
she was sent into this world in the bank was like a nightmare that haunted her every night at 3 a.m.
She woke up in sweats, panicked at the thought of Emmah being somewhere out there, alive with that lucky halo
smoothing her journey.

"Are you sure of this? | have never heard of such magic." Iryne whispered.
"Magic is not studied by non magic folk in Eldoria. The kingdom as a whole has less than one hundred mages,
knowledge is not going to flow out into the public about them, it is highly guarded.
With the exception of servants and royalty, non magic folk are not even allowed into the Sanctum tower estate
where most mages dwell and train. How would you know anything about magic mother?" Sigrid reminded her of
the facts and posed a question.
