The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 12: Another of Roland's secrets.

Quiet settled in the hall but not one single person moved to stop Sigrid, her family figured that she had a reason for her actions, the servants knew better and the guests preferred to be uninvolved. Sigrid was set to become the crown princess in two days, why offend her for a woman whose family lacked a noble title.

"Lanai," Sigrid called.

"Yes my lady," the maid rushed to the side of her mistress.

"Pour the contents of this cup down my friend's mouth." She ordered.

The word friend was stretched and said with sarcasm, conveying to all that understood the undertones that this was no friend. Judging from the way Sigrid was treating her, it looked more like an enemy.

Lanai did as instructed and all of the tea, down to the last drop went into Rosalind's mouth. She struggled but she could not fight back against Sigrid, the daughter of a general that had grown up learning how to fight in close combat.

Sigrid threw a sniveling Rosalind to the floor.

"On her knees." she ordered.

Lanai and Lama put Rosalind in a kneeling position while Sigrid returned to her seat, taking up a position as if she was already royalty. Her domineering aura certainly gave off that energy, she was like the queen.

Rosalind had never seen this side of Sigrid, it was worse than the normal brainless Sigrid that did bad things just because she was the granddaughter of a duke. Now, she was like a mountain shadowing over a small ant.

Sigrid looked down at the young woman. "Rosalind Alexander, how brave of you. I did not think that someone would attempt to poison me only two hours into my new status."

A myriad of gasps echoed through the great hall following Sigrid's words, her accusation stunning them all. To poison a noble was a crime but it would get one a prison sentence. To poison royalty on the other hand was different, there was no escaping a death sentence and since Sigrid was now the crown princess, Rosalind was guilty of attempting to poison a royal.

Whispers traveled through the room, words like beheaded could be heard and the culprit that never dreamed she would be discovered grew frightened.

"I didn't." Rosalind denied in a weak voice. "I did not poison you, I just put some aphrodisiac in the tea."
