The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 38: Sigrid cornering madame Elene.

Sigrid took a sit before the contents of the table quietened on the ground, it took a few seconds for the incense burner to stop rattling around. She moved her eyes to madame Elene who was surprisingly calm, not even a knight and his sword moved her.

It was not unexpected of course, Madame Elene was a seasoned woman, she had seen many things and encountered many challenges along her path to owning the kingdom’s best brothel.

She had dealt with all sorts of titled men, knights, generals, a queen and even a king, this minor display of power would not frighten her.

Madame Elene was older in years, she appeared to be in her sixties, Sigrid judged. Despite taking care of herself as best as she could, the weight of the years showed on the deep lines and wrinkles on her face.Her silver hair was worn in a burn, held together by a single black wooden hair pin that appeared to be simple to the common eyes.

Sigrid knew that it was hollow on the inside and contained poisonous needled which Rina had used to kill madame Elene later because Emmah was afraid the secret of Rina’s background would be exposed and damaged Benjamin’s chances at the throne.

Her clothing was simple, a plain high neck long grey dress and a pair of black gloves on her hands. She was not dressed in a flashy manner for a wealthy woman or an indecent one for someone that owned a brothel.

Madame Elene had sharp observant eyes, that were roaming over Sigrid, in attempt to deduce her identity.

"Can I offer you some tea?" she spoke first.

Sigrid shook her head and put her hand to her face, removing her mask and revealing her face to madame Elene.

Madame Elene laughed lightly, "I suppose you expect me to kneel or curtsy but I am afraid that my old knees may not be able to...."

Brolin moved suddenly, grabbed madame Elene by the neck and forced her onto her knees in front of Sigrid. He kept one hand around the back of her neck firmly, if Sigrid gave the order he would snap it immediately.
