The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 54: Too early to celebrate.

King Raff growled like a pit bull, it never took much to set him off.

The Windrider’s clenched their fists, Sigrid could see the unwillingness in their eyes but she had no plan to stop. With her words, whether they surrendered the map or not, the king would be suspicious of them, after all why would a powerful family like theirs want to possess such a sword if not to rebel?

"The crown prince has returned victorious from battle, magic has found a way to exist in women, we even have a divine messenger." She smiled cunningly. "To remove all doubt, I think that it would be a good idea to offer the map to the king in honor of the crown prince. Don’t you think so?"

She sat down, her job could be considered done, and another crack formed in Emmah’s halo, a big one this time round.

She had not acquired the first shard on her trip, and now, she would never acquire it.

As for the Windrider’s they could not defend themselves or deny having the map. The king would torture everyone on their estate to get answers, to avoid a disaster, the prime minister sent for the map.

The esteemed lords and ladies all knew why the king was in a jovial mood, he had obtained a map from the Windrider’s which showed a location of the shard of a sword whose might was unmatched.

It was because of this that he was engaging in happy conversation with the nobles, duke Thorin in particular. As he had benefited from Sigrid’s clever mind, he liked the Thorin’s a little more than he did before.
