Chapter 82: A bellyrub for Sigrid.
It struck Roland then, that his wife was either simply talking crazy or she was absolutely crazy because what she
was saying was insane.
"Surely you jest." he said.
Sigrid shrugged, "That's just me, | would ask the people to surrender and if they resisted | would do the needful.
What would you do if you were in Karlton’s shoes?"
He looked out at the lake, the small ripples danced along at the smooth surface which reflected the moon's glow.
The serenity of the lake house and its surroundings made him think that it would be a pity if all this was
destroyed just because one man wanted to rule. War was never a good thing, it killed men and destroyed
families.
"I would probably give it up, We mages believe in the laws of nature, Karlton’s physical disability was a decision
made by nature not man. The Silberuss house has prospered for years, they have wealth and power, to want
more would be greedy."
Sigrid held in a sneer, "You would choose peace and acceptance but would peace and acceptance choose you?
You have said it yourself that there are rumors about him being the rightful heir to the throne. Snoble
houses are ready to stand with him should he ever make a move, they have been hoping for this to happen for
years, it goes to show that peace was never an option."
Roland pushed away the plate, suddenly the food before him was not appetizing anymore, and he was satisfied.
"Can we discuss something else, talking politics remindsof almost every interaction | have ever had with my
parents. Why don’t tell you tellabout your horse, why did you nher Venom?"
"It's from a movie...." she drew her words out as she realized what she was about to say. "Move, from a move
that she makes, she springs and kicks like a snake that spits venom so | call her Venom."
She lied through her teeth very quickly, hoping that he would not ask questions like what is a movie because she
had definitely said the word movie.
Her response made no sense, it was just like her, she was a puzzle to him, one that he had yet to put together
and make sense of. What kind of woman named her horse after snake venom? His sister Thalassa had a favorite
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthorse that she had named Flower and his own mother’s favorite horse was named Lilibud. They gave them
gentle floral names which made more sense compared to Venom.
Then again, the horse had almost chomped on his hand so it had a temper to match the name.
"Is it my turn to ask a question?" Sigrid asked as she started helping herself to the blueberry cheesecake.
She closed her eyes as soon as the cake hit her tongue, it was rich and tangy and sweet. Her eyes widened as
she dug a spoon into the whole round cake and took another bite.
"This is good, Galen was right," she covered her mouth and mumbled out.
Every bite was full of flavor and left her craving more.
"I will take this cake to bed and embrace it then kiss it and roll around in it." she moaned and mumbled through
more bites.
Roland was not sure what to do with her statement, but he knew for sure that if she was taking the cake to bed
to kiss and roll around in, he would be there. How could he miss an opportunity to see the look she was making
on her face right now?
She looked she was drowning in a sea of passion, because of cake!!
"Make sure that when you roll, you end up on top of me, | will be glad you give you an experience more heavenly
than the cake."
He leaned forward and winked at her.
"You are not even subtle at all." she answered.
He picked up a spoon and dug into the cake, as he raised it to his lips he replied, "Why should | be subtle, we are
husband and wife. What we do in the bedroom is blessed and it brings us both pleasure."
She scoffed. "Mmm, you need to make tto visit the Thorin estate with me. Now that you are back, you must
pay your respects to my parents."
Roland's face was washed with a scowl, he was not looking forward to that mandatory visit. He knew just much
the Thorin’s didn’t like him and with Emmah living at the Vale coupled with the ridiculous rumors going around,
they would probably welchim with pruning shears, or maybe a fork and a sword. He could think of many
weapons they could use to threaten him.
"Will noon tomorrow be okay?" Sigrid asked. "We can have lunch with my family and you can take a tour around
the only coffee plantation in all of Eldoria."
That bit brightened up his mood, he liked coffee although the taste was new to him.
"I never thought that there was something in the world whose taste could rival products of the mage farm. That
coffee is really delicious, especially with milk. Where did you find a crop that is unheard of?"
"My brother John, he has restless feet so he is always on the move and wherever he goes, he brings back seeds,
recipes and trinkets from his trips. | never thought | would put any of those things to good use someday but here
we are." she shrugged.
She reached down for another helping of the cheesecake and it was pulled away by Roland.
"Clear the table, leave the wine." he ordered the servants. and he handed the puppy to one of them.
It was done in a few seconds and

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe looked lost so he explained further, "The blueberries, cheese and the milk used in this particular cake are
from the mage farm, that’s why the taste is different from what is sold in outside shops.
The advantage of every edible that comes from a mage farm is that the taste is superior however the
disadvantage is that eating too much can have side effects like vomiting, a very active tummy."
