Chapter 51: The crown princess has magic!

Her hands were yet to caress the young buds of the roses when a distressed Emmah cried out.

"Crown princess, I know that I am not as blessed as you to be born from a noble family but that doesn’t mean you should ruin my honor and that of the crown prince. I might be a weak insignificant woman with no roots but I will never be a mistress."

Her halo shone brightly once again and very quickly, murmurs in Emmah’s defense traveled at lightning speed, reaching the ears of the king and queen. More than a few disapproving and hostile glances were shot at Sigrid’s back.

She turned her head around and replied, "You are also an engaged woman that sat by quietly while some very misguided or ignorant people suggested that you be married to my husband. What does something like that say about your reputation and that of the crown prince?"

All those that had been defending Emmah suddenly recalled that Sigrid had indeed mentioned that Emmah was engaged.

"Your highness, I have no idea what engagement the crown princess speaks of." Emmah denied with quickness.

"Oh, is that true?" King Raff asked.

"I tell no lie your highness, I have never been engaged before and I have been exploring the land of mist for two months, I do not know about any engagement of which the crown princess speaks." Emmah replied with strength.
