Chapter 16: Trouble before the wedding.

In the eyes of the three women in the bedroom, Sigrid saw wonder and shock which made her smile, this was the goal she was hoping to achieve, a bride memorable enough and stunning enough to match Emmah in the looks department.

Emmah was described as a tender beauty by the author, she was soft and gentle, delicate and warm, evoking a heroic desire in all the men that came across her, the male leads especially.

She had a soothing nature and gentle aura which made anyone comfortable around her.

Sigrid on the other hand was described as a striking but unsettling beauty, her looks commanded attention but they were intimidating. Her cheekbones were sharp, her eyes piercing, her hair untamed, all of her was summed in one word, 'bold.'

While there was an allure to her, the gentle Emmah was preferred to the fierce untamed Sigrid. It did not help that she had grown up learning how to fight so her body was not as delicate as Emmah's.

"You..you..." Iryne stammered.

She could not take her eyes off her daughter for she looked appealing in an unusual way. Her beauty was less challenging and more inviting as if some changes had been made to some of her features.

Duchess Mila could not respond, she was in tears, drying her eyes with a silk handkerchief embroidered with daisies.

"You look radiant my lady, the crown prince will trip over his feet when he sees you." Lanai said.

Iryne nodded. "he will be a fool not to appreciate you, if I had known that I gave birth to Eldoria's number one beauty I would have showed you off more and rubbed it in Portia Winchester's face. She is not shy to proclaim that her daughter Aurora is Eldoria's number one beauty but I think Aurora pales in comparison to you."

"It is the truth, you my Siggy have..." Duchess Mila broke off and sobbed lightly.

Sigrid hugged her grandmother, it was nice having a family that loved her for the first time in her life. If she died in this life, at least someone would mourn her.
