The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 4: And...she has a system.

"Sigrid!!" her grandfather called her sternly.

His voice was just as powerful as the emperor's, a warning that she should be as quiet as a tomb. It was this instruction that he had given his granddaughter when they were invited into the palace.

What Sigrid knew and what her grandfather did not, was that the king was determined to have his way at all costs. According to the plot, despite all of his claims about being old friends with the duke, the king had grown wary of the Thorin's. Their increasing wealth and military strength had grown beyond his expectation, their influence which he once appreciated was now seen as a thorn in the side of royalty.

The king had been advised by his first wife, the queen to tie the Thorin duchy to the royal family by marriage. If it failed, he should betroth Sigrid to a useless man and find a means of using her to tame the Thorin family or eliminate it completely.

Her grandfather's continued resistance to the king's orders was doing nothing more than raising his suspicion.

"It is decided then, in two days the crown prince will wed Lady Sigrid Thorin, pass on my decree." The King bellowed with a smile on his lips. "Thorin, stay back with me, i wish to discuss more details about the marriage with you."

Duke Thorin shot Sigrid a sharp glance and then turned to the king.

"As you wish, your majesty."

Sigrid was already making calculations in her mind, if she became the crown princess, it was possible to become the empress. In a kingdom like Eldoria where men held the most power, to be a woman was to be in the unfavorable position. If she had power however, she would never have to be helpless.

Eldoria was a vast kingdom on a continent that had magic, however this magic was rare. It only run in five percent of the population. The odds of awakening magical talent were slim and if you were born a girl, the magic was stripped from you at birth.

It was forbidden for women to practice magic in Eldoria, it was also forbidden for them to touch swords.

In this kingdom as it was on most in this continent, a man could marry two wives and he could marry at an age he wished unlike women that had to marry before twenty five. If one surpassed that age, the office of marriages would assign you to any random man in need of a wife.

They were too unfair, and besides, she would have preferred a modern world with televisions, ice cream
