The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 55: A case of dependence.

Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, I hope you don’t mind but I intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

He retrieved his knife, but the look of anger in his eyes became even more prominent. Swiftly, he struck out his hand and put it on Sigrid’s neck, he didn’t apply pressure, it just laid there.

"She saved my life, did you have to humiliate her?"

His voice was raw, filled with emotion and accusation and it annoyed Sigrid. Even though she was not in love with Roland, to see him becoming emotional for another woman angered her.

She did not hide the contempt in her eyes or try to be polite, it would be lost in translation anyway.

"My husband comes home from war and the very first thing that he does is attack me for the sake of another woman. He even wants to strangle me, if the people see their crown prince right now, I wonder what they would think?"

He took his hand away and placed it at his side. "I don’t like the way you are phrasing your words, it almost sounds like I want to harm you for Emmah’s sake."

"Don’t you?" she bit out.

"No." he blurted strongly, "I just don’t understand why you are choosing to be unreasonable about this. You have a medal that saves you from death, even though you have magic the king cannot give an order to kill you but she is different, her circumstances are not similar to yours."

"Yeah well, nobody has similar circumstances, that’s the way of our society. I traded my family’s business for that medal, we needed it because a good number of families were plotting against us. You want to reward her with one because she used magic to save your life.." She paused and put her hand over his mouth because he was about to interrupt her.

"It is true that what she did is a meritorious deed, but she is not the first and will not be the last person to give up their life to save you. It will happen all your life because you are the crown prince and future king, your safety is the safety of Eldoria.
