The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 324: Lord Alexander Ridley’s revelation.

Right on cue, a tic squawk cfrom outside the open bedroom door. A fully grown peacock was standing

there, staring at all the humans with an expression that could only be described as deep irritation.

"How does it keep getting inside?" Duchess Mila asked. She pointed her walking cane at the peacock. "You don’t

live in the main house. Take your eggs and get out."

The peacock snubbed the duchess, walked up to the bed, hopped onto it and settled down on her eggs.

Nathaniel waved his hands, making whoosh sounds, trying to frighten the peacock away. Instead, he succeeded

in startling Thor awake and the baby made his displeasure for the interruption loudly known to the whole world

with a high pitched wail.

The peacock looked at Nathaniel with an expression that looked like deep judgement of his fathering skills.

Obviously, it found them lacking.

"Well, now that we are certain that neither Deanne nor Nathan laid the peacock eggs, | am leaving for breakfast

and then | am off to Nemoris. | will not be returning until the evening before the debutante ball." Sigrid turned on

one foot and left.

One by one, everyone left the bedroom, giving the couple that was looking to them for help helpless shrugs

"lI guess we can move out and leave this bedroom for her." Nathan muttered, looking down at the peacock.

"Or we can just an extra bed and leave this bed to her." Deanne countered, bouncing Thor gently and patting

him on the back.

"Perhaps we can put the mattress and scomfortable sheets in the peacock house. Maybe all she wants is a

comfortable place, somewhere nice and cozy." Nathan figured. "Why did you scream by the way?"

Indignantly, Deanne answered, "Because, Nathan, | thought they were snake eggs. Snake eggs mean a snake

mama lurking somewhere nearby while our baby was left defenseless on the bed. No more showers together, for

the tbeing. If we do shower together, one of the nursery maids must be with Thor."

She smelled the neck of her baby and carried him tighter. She had really experienced a shock that nearly sent

her to an early grave.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Sigrid was reading the poem written by Roland on the newest card that had been sent

with the flowers. "I walk with pride, a crown prince well-known. Yet at your smile, my crown is flown. For love has

robbed me--chains unseen. Your gaze, my princess has sealed my peaceful fate | fear."

She had not yet responded when her mother grabbed the card and started the usual oohing and gasping.

"Why can’t you be as romantic as Roland, Paxton?" She asked her husband.

Lord Paxton huffed. "I do not remember hearing any complaints when | was wooing you."

The card made its way into Lady Isolde’s hands. She was another Lady Iryne when it cto the oohing and

aahing. Initially, she would say a few words but she had acclimated to the Thorin way of freedom of expression

so she was bolder in her interactions with everyone now.

The wives of the Ridley brothers giggled.

"I should try to turn this into a song. | saw sdwarfs doing it at the fair and | think it is interesting." East

spoke calmly.

"If you bring your harp to the table | will cut those strings and go after your spider." Lord Ethan Ridley warned his

younger brother.

The harp playing had been a little too much ever since they cto Eldoria.

"Alexander, will today be the day when you tellwhy you are visiting my household?" Duke Thorin spoke to

the man that was sitting directly opposite him.

"I cto sell nuts." Lord Alexander deadpanned.

There were ssighs and groans at the table. Alexander Ridley was truly secretive and frustrating. He had

cfor a union or merger of skind. Why couldn’t he just blurt it out and get it over with. Everyone was

anxious to know if it was a marriage union between their families or an imperial union of their empires.

"I do plan to speak to your crown prince at the royal castle today." Lord Alexander shared.

"Why?" Sigrid asked.

The tone of her voice was more assertive. She made it obvious that she was questioning him as the crown

princess and not just a granddaughter of the duke.

"Because, Akia the divine messenger

of Medoris will be here in two days.

She is not coming alone, she is

bringing her sister Anita) Lore? m

Afexander fooked at Sigrid. "Hear my

advise child. It is most pertinent that

you make your way back to the royal

castle with all your suitcases. You

can try to hide it but we have all

heard swhispers about why you

left your territory." The content is on

"The Valerius family was not too happy about what you did to Keeley’s face." Duchess Mila told Sigrid.

Sigrid put her hands together and put

about to use to mix her milk

tiptoeing around the subject of her

been putting off the discussion for a

"They showed up at our gates when you were taking an afternoon nap and your mother told Keeley’s mother

that if her daughter had not been sniffing around the trousers of a married man, her face would not have been

cut." Her father said.

"Such great words." Lady Isolde said with relish and a smile as she prepared to bite into a muffin.

"Your mother also told them that she

was very willing to go on national

television and give an interview to a

reporter, exposing why Jouhad done
