Chapter 15: Counter measures of a schemer.

Sigrid raised her eyebrows, oh look another detail that was forgotten in the book, Emmah was raised on the funds of the Thorin family. They basically raised the child that would lead to their downfall.

In addition to that, they sheltered her mother, fed her, clothed her and protected her reputation. When a filtered version of this story was released to the public, Duchess Mila got the identity of a villain for cruelly forcing Mirena and Emmah to separate because she could not let go of her servant while Mirena was seen as the poor humble servant that suffered a grave injustice.

Mirena's soft beauty coupled with her sob story and Emmah's halo all contributed to her white washing and she won the heart of the king's widowed brother who married her in a grand wedding fit for nobility.

All this of course fattened up Emmah's identity even more, she went from a woman with unknown roots to the daughter of a prince.

Before getting married, there were some disasters that Sigrid wanted to take care of, like this one. The sooner Mirena was removed from the their home, the better.

They were not talking anyway, all of them were thinking about what Sigrid had said. Time had really moved fast however and the sun had come up, the wedding was to be held in two hours time, followed by festivities, a banquet and then the couple would set off for Stormwind castle.

"We can discuss this next time, perhaps we we should have a talk with Mirena first." Iryne suggested.

"No."

The duchess and Sigrid both responded at the same time, rejecting the suggestion strongly.
