Chapter 22: They asked for blood.

The secondary consort’s governess scoffed, she was backed by the king’s favorite wife, who was this unloved crown princess to act all high and mighty? No matter how powerful the Thorin family was, Sigrid was now the wife of the crown prince, a member of the royal house.

She had to learn the rules and know when to bow her head. It would have been different if Roland had wed her sincerely but everyone knew he had been forced. No matter what was done to her, her husband would not step up for her.

As for the queen, as long as Sigrid was useless to Roland, she would not come out to defend her.

"It seems, you have not been taught the rules of the royal family, I find you quite rude so I will begin your lessons today. If there is no blood on those sheets, you will have to pay the price for failing to do your duty in contributing to the royal lineage. Don’t you know that is is considered a crime?"

Once again, Sigrid asked, "Are you sure that you want to see blood?"

The governess responded dominantly, "Hmph, if I do not see blood today...."

"Very well." Sigrid cut in.

She took a step back, putting a small distance between herself and the governess, then she unfolded the fan and threw her hand out.

A swishing sound cut through the air, one that was familiar to that of a sword, then, warm blood splashed onto the faces of some servants.

For a few moments, there was utter silence in the room, everyone went still, especially the servants that were examining the sheets, and then one of them opened her mouth and screamed.

One horrified scream turned into two and two turned into three, two servants run out of the room while two of the consorts red knights rushed inside with swords drawn.
