The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 24: King Raff’s weakness

King Raff got out of the water, completely naked and untroubled, his butler brought a robe and draped it over his body.

He stood still for a moment and pondered on Sigrid’s message with cold eyes and half of a smile that was blood chilling. King Raff was unhappy because he felt like Sigrid had cornered him by forcing him to choose between his knights and his consort.

He was not a love sick fool as some people liked to think, on the contrary, most of his decisions were always made after careful calculations. If he was not a calculating man, he would not have taken the throne, evading all the traps set out for him by his brothers. He certainly wouldn’t have held on to it through all the challenges that Eldoria had faced over the years.

The smart move was to protect the red knights, they were more valuable than Rina’s reputation. As long as there was no irrefutable evidence for the claims Sigrid was making, the matter could be swept under the rug.

His problem was duke Thorin, if he heard the news then that old man would not sit back and allow the matter to die, he would demand that Rina be punished heavily. The queen’s family and other nobles loyal to them would not sit back either, they would see it as an opportunity to have Rina removed from her position and executed.

Consort Rina always knew when the king was calculating something, his fingers would be on the move as if he was counting numbers. There were two options he had, one was to question and punish her for sending assassins to the vale to murder his precious son and the other was to kill all those that went to the vale and bury the matter. Rina knew that she would be safe if the matter was buried.

She rushed out of the water and embraced him from behind. "I didn’t, your highness, I did not send red knights to murder the crown prince, I sent them to escort her back to the castle safely so that she could learn the rules. I am your wife, Roland’s step mother, I am allowed to teach his wife the rules. I really didn’t send the red knights to kill her, I love you so much why would I want to kill your son?"

She run her hands across his chest and cried pitifully.

When he heard Rina’s sobs, his heart softened, what were two red knights in comparison to his precious Rina? They could be replaced, she could not.
