The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 106: Did Iryne want to kill Roland?

Sigrid was startled, her eyes moved to the partially closed doors, she wondered where Roland was hiding. She

tapped her fingers nervously against her thigh as she wondered how she was going to handle the situation.

Her grandfather was talking but she could not hear what he was saying, blood was rushing to her ears. Roland

had most likely heard everything that they had just talked about, maybe even witnessed her mother killing two

people.

What was going through his mind? Was he hiding so that he could see what else they were up to? If that was the

case then perhaps it was best to lay everything out in the open.

"Cosmos, why don’t you invite our guest in?"

If he was hiding, there was no way Cosmos had not figured it out, she was just miffed that he did not give her a

heads up.

He strode towards the doors and moved one of them slightly away from the wall, looking at the corner.

"Your highness, please."

Where nothing had been, Roland appeared, he grinned at Cosmos and followed the burly knight into the drawing

room. The doors were closed from outside and Cosmos stood guard with Sigrid’s other knights, keeping Roland's

knights outside.

Roland walked all the way to Sigrid and he sat down before acknowledging the people in the room.

"My love." he started with Sigrid. "Your graces and everyone." he nodded stiffly.

Every Thorin was more than surprised to hear him address Sigrid affectionately. Their burning eyes almost drilled

holes into Sigrid as they sent her unvoiced questions about what had changed in her relationship with Roland.

But, nobody was more surprised than her because she too did not think that he would keep up the ruse, not in

front of her family that was already aware of his initial dislike of her.

"Your highness," One after the other, the Thorin’s curtsied or bowed as they responded to Roland's greeting.

After the greetings, silence swept through the room, all previous conversation was at a halt as nobody knew

what to discuss or where to begin.

"| couldn’t help but overhear your discussion and | was mentioned | believe." he began, taking the bull by the

horns because their was a lot he needed to know.

Before he could say more, Sigrid snorted, "So you were spying on us, my love." she said, sarcastically.

"How can one spy in his own house?" he returned a question to her and smiled.

Beneath their words and smiles was a layer of tension, which everyone could feel. Roland glanced around the

room, making eye contact with each family member.

"I might have heard something aboutdying, does anyone care to explain what that means? | don’t think that

| need to explain to you all how much | value my own life and | am sure you value yours. If there is a hidden

enemy after both of our families this is information that | need to know," he paused, "the king needs to know."

A moment of silence followed, as the family members exchanged thoughtful glances. Roland could not take the

secret conversations that they were having while excluding him and he slammed his fist down.

"What is it that you are hiding? You just executed two people coldly and | heard that they were Valenford’s but

still, that does not give you the right to execute them. There offices in charge of that department, you are all

hiding a secret, out with it." he commanded.

His words were met with more silence, the Thorin’s looked at Sigrid, it was her secret to tell after all so it was her

decision to make.

As far as the duke could tell, even if Roland heard the truth, there was no guarantee that he would believe them.

In the moment of hesitation, Iryne suddenly pulled out her husband’s sword, frightening everyone as they had

no idea what she meant to do with it. Sigrid’s jaw dropped, as expected of the family of a villain, they would do

anything to protect that main villain.

It was the reason why the families of all villains died in , because they were loyal to each other in

committing evil.

"This is interesting." Roland said, amused.

He was confident that in a sword fight, he could slaughter everyone in the room easily, except for Sigrid.

"Do you intend to kill me?" he asked.

The duchess laughed nervously. "Of course not your highness, how could we dare to kill the crown prince?" She

looked sharply at Iryne. "First of all, we would be committing treason and secondly, we would be dooming Sigrid

to death. Everyone knows the fate of a childless wife of a king or prince, they are buried with him."

Her words echoed a reminder to everyone that was having any funny thoughts.

Iryne put the sword on the table and said calmly, "I was just checking to see if the sword need sharpening. | was

about to send it to you and ask for your opinion, your highness."

While everyone was confused, Sigrid got the message loud an clear.

"Even if | tell you, there is no guarantee that you will believe me. You will thinkmad and consider my words

no better than lies." she replied.

"Try me." He said confidently.

The duke gestured at Sigrid to tell

Roland her dream, he still offered a

Roland could taste the seriousness in the duke’s words and he nodded. "I will keep an open mind your grace, but

| make no promises because | do not want to break my word."

"Fair enough." Duke Thorin nodded.

Sigrid took a deep breath and she started the made up story about the prophetic dream that she had on the

night her magic awakened, this tshe added a few details that had been missing from the first story, making

it sound even more mysterious than it originally was.

"It all started when | got a fever in the middle of the night."
