The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 29: The virgin prince no more.

"Never," the duchess firmly grabbed Sigrid’s arm, making her granddaughter look her in the eyes. "Never Sigrid, you are never to fight any battle alone, magical or non magical. What you are saying is quite unthinkable to us, you have to understand that it is not that easy to digest. However, I know that you would not make up such a story out of thin air without a good reason.

Even though I do not understand what is happening, you have my full unconditional support. I say it is better to err on the side of caution than to assume all is well and end up losing our heads."

"In that case I will do the same but your father and brothers must be warned as well, we should not allow Mirena or her daughter to step foot in this estate ever again. We should start looking for good matches for your second and third brother so that they are not fooled by that girl." Iryne said, with her brows pulled together.

"Why don’t we just get rid of Mirena and Emmah, permanently?" The duchess asked.

Sigrid shook her head, she had also considered this option but the system had told her it would not work, the halo would protect Emmah as long as it was at full strength.

"It won’t work, she is protected by magic."

All three women maintained a brief minute of silence, worried about the future or thinking about other possible solutions to their problem. Eventually, Sigrid tired of the silence, things had to be taken one step at a time anyway.

"Let’s move slowly and carefully, remember that she is not the only one we have to be on the look out for, the king, consort Rina, the Ye family and some other noble houses and princes are also watching us. We should time our moves appropriately, for starters we should abandon the Eastern boarder and surrender our soldiers to the king."

"That is..that..no." Duchess Mila responded.

"Grandmother, the stronger we are, the more the king is determined to break us down. Don’t you know that the tall tree attracts the wind?
