Chapter 48: Emmah’s carefully crafted story.

Sigrid took a deep breath, she shifted her gaze from Roland to Emmah. Was this something they had discussed before, the medal of protection against death? It had not been mentioned anywhere in the novel, that such a request had been made, Roland had straight away asked for king Raff’s permission to take Emmah as a secondary wife.

Had things changed because she had removed the option of Roland having a secondary wife?

While she was racking her mind for a way to stop the king from granting Emmah a death free medal, the nobles loudly debated on Roland’s request.
