The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 8: The marriage will hold.

King Raff, on his majestic throne was looking down at eldest his son that was stubbornly glaring back at him. As

soon as his son marched into the throne room, he had asked Duke Thorin to step out so that father and sons

could have a private talk.

Roland was panting lightly, giving off sparks of anger as if at any moment he would explode. The King knew

exactly what it was that his son wanted to discuss and even before he could say it out loud he decided to stop

him.

"No." he said firmly.

"I have not said what it is that i desire." Roland replied, with his fists clenched.

King Raff knew his son Roland just as Roland knew his father, the two could read one another and understand

what each wanted from the other without a single verbal communication being passed between them.

"This marriage arrangement is beneficial for both families, us more than the Thorin's. | have already heard from

your mother that you had a private meeting with the young lady and you happened to be inappropriately

dressed.

Regardless of your status as the crown prince, the duke will cfor you once word of this reaches his ears. His

grand daughter's reputation..."

"What reputation?" Roland barked. "She has the worst reputation of all the maidens in Eldoria. | am the one that

should be protesting his innocence, she peeked atit was not the other way round."

The king dismissed Roland's appeal and claim to innocence. "Nevertheless, it has already happened and | for one

am truly grateful for Sigrid's mistake. With your marriage, the throne is ten times stronger, once you have an

heir..."

"Ha!" Roland laughed. "If | ever have a child with Sigrid Thorin, I will run through the city as naked as | was on

the day | was born."

"Ooh.." Benjamin tilted his head with a mysterious cheeky smile on his face.

He wanted to say more but the warning look shot his way by the king firmly stopped him.

Benjamin Maximus was the joker of the family, he was already to make a smart retort on everything. His problem

was that he always failed to know when to pick and choose his moments. This was not the moment for his smart

mouth to say something stupid.

Even though he could not say a word, Benjamin took note of his brother's words. Should the day ever come

when Sigrid happened to have a child for his brother, he would remind him of this moment and his words.

"Go to your fief and make arrangements for the arrival of your bride, the wedding is in two days. You are

dismissed." King Roland said.

His softly delivered command left no room for Roland to reply, even he could see that his father had made up his

mind.

"Yes, your majesty." Roland bowed politely.

Roland and Benjamin left the castle, the angry groom to be walked with angry clomping strides. The metallic

trinkets on his boots making a ruckus as he walked.

He frightened a young maid that was carrying a basket of laundry, she squealed and the basket went flying up.

Roland did not stop to help or apologize, Benjamin, the sweetest prince of all the king's sons did.

He saved the maid from tumbling to the ground by grabbing her waist with one hand and saving the closed

basket with his other hand.

The little maid's heart fluttered wildly, Benjamin Maximus was not only handsbut he had a devil's smile to

match.

He was a rogue that had charmed his way into many innocent hearts and many not so innocent ladies bedrooms.

"| apologize for Roland, he can be rude at times. | hope you are not injured, it would be a shfor a beautiful

woman like you to suffer pain." he said, and winked.

"lIts...I...prince...." the maid spoke in nervous whispers, blushing like many of the young maids that worked in the

castle did whenever they interacted with prince Benjamin.

Benjamin put her back on her feet upright and he laughed lightly. He took after his brother that had already

found his way to the royal stables.

"Where are you going Roland?"

Roland climbed onto the back of his fierce horse. "To look for a fight and then a tavern, then another fight and

another tavern."

His horse that was named lightning storm, to match it's fierce wildness reared back, neighed loudly and set off at

extraordinary speed.

Benjamin shrugged at the stable boys that had been trying unsuccessfully to brush the horse's coat before the

crown prince showed up and took it's reins.

"He is having a bad day." he told them.

He set out on his horse, following his brother out of the castle. The two brothers were followed by a group of

sword knights numbering up to two dozen. Majority of these elite knights served as personal guards of the crown

prince.

They rode quickly and fiercely, passing the a small caravan of six horse carriages that was moving at a rather

slow pace. In the middle of the caravan, in the largest carriage which was luxurious looking, Sigrid was peeking

out from behind a curtain.

She barely caught a glimpse of Roland who passed by her carriage without pausing or looking back to notice her.

Sigrid would not have noticed him anyway, she was lost in her own thoughts, marveling at the pampered life

which the original body had been living.

The mini caravan of carriages which went with her everywhere was equal to convoy of six luxury cars on modern

earth. Her carriage especially was extremely luxurious, it was adorned with rich deep colors, velvet cushions,

and the floor lined with a soft white carpet.

The carriage was built from fine brown rose wood which was polished to a gleaming finish. Real gold had been

melted to make ornaments and patterns of the Thorin family flag on the outside.

The curtains that framed the windows were made from the finest silk, there was a small table in the center on

which exotic purple lavender flowers.

The smell of the flowers filled the air, there pleasant scent calming her even when she was not calm.

"Too much, it's too much." Sigrid whispered.

Across from her, one of her personal

maids, Lanai crinkled her small nose.

They had a few gold mines that they never reported to the royal family. In Eldoria, the royal family owned fifty

percent of all silver, gold, diamond, copper and other special gem mines.

It did not matter if the mine was on the land of another family, as long as it existed, by law the royal family was

entitled to half of it.

Emmah had found the Thorin family's gold mines and reported this to the king through the third prince. The

Thorin's had been stripped of their nobility and made commoners.

The king was pleased and he had rewarded Emmah with two of the mines and he gave her one hundred percent

of the ownership.

Sigrid scoffed, nobody had ever taken a coin out of her pocket and Emmah would not be the first.

"Mission accomplished, host receive your rewards." Sigrid heard in her mind and she was drawn out of her

thoughts.

"TellRoland's secret first." she replied.
