The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 10: Peacock killer!

The horse carriages pulled into the wide arched entrance of Thorin manor, the homestead of the Thorin family in the capital city.

Sigrid eyes were captivated by the sheer large size of her family home. The manor was built like a mid sized castle, smaller than that of the royal family but nevertheless, just as impressive and very secure.

Two guard towers stood tall on opposite sides of the wall, armed knights and guards that were employed as watchmen were on duty.

The grand stone manor stood tall with wide arched buildings and purple and pink ivy creepers on the walls which drew her eyes, their beauty under the afternoon sun was marvelous and worth a thousand pictures.

"I have always wanted to live in a house like this." she whispered.

It looked like one of those beautiful bed and breakfasts that you found in a nice quiet countryside.

"You will not be living here much longer." Cosmos reminded her.

She ignored the pessimistic guard and stepped out of the carriage, aided by Lanai that took one of her hands, holding it as if Sigrid was so precious.

When her feet touched the cobblestone ground, another maid appeared by her side, standing to her left while Lanai stayed to the right.

The other maid was called Lama and she took Sigrid's left hand, holding it as carefully as Lanai was holding the left one.

Sigrid turned her head from left to right, for a moment she felt lost, puzzled as to why her hands needed to be held while she walked.

"What is this?" she asked them.

Lama let go of the hand and fell to her knees with fright in her skittish eyes.

"I am sorry Lady Sigrid, my hands are a little sticky because I saved a jar of your honey from falling down. Please don't cut my hands off, I promise not to touch you carelessly ever again." she pleaded.
