Chapter 57: It took one bone.

"What in the blazes are you talking about!!" Roland exclaimed, he tugged on Sigrid’s arm and turned her around. "Have you lost your marbles? Why would we adopt a grown woman?"

Sigrid shrugged, "Because she clearly wants to move in with us." she answered. "We cannot have a young unmarried woman moving in with us, what if something unspeakable happens and people point their fingers at you?"

Roland tugged on Sigrid’s hand to get her to stop talking, the things she was saying could easily ruin a woman’s reputation.

"Sigrid, don’t be excessive." Princess Thalassa stomped her foot, pointed at Sigrid and yelled. "It was me that suggested Emmah move to the The Vale, do not accuse her wrongly and ruin her reputation."

Sigrid scoffed in Thalassa’s direction, the young woman who was only twenty one was very gullible and foolish, traits that Emmah was taking advantage of.

Thalassa had little sense because she had been spoiled rotten since childhood, in addition to that, Rina had taught her how to seduce and scheme in order to land herself a prosperous marriage, convincing her that it was the only thing that mattered more than all the knowledge her governess had tried to impart into her.

"Aah, so one engaged but unmarried woman has misled our crown princess." Sigrid said lightly and then her voice became more serious, "Princess, you are young and unmarried, if people hear that you sent a woman to your brother, they will assume things about you.

Your reputation will be damaged, I am afraid that this will impact you negatively. A princess in Medoris was caught in a scandal similar to this and she is now married to a butcher."

A small crowd had gathered closer to the table where the king, queen and consort Rina were sitting. Sigrid’s words worked best as always, more of them frowned at Emmah and showed their disapproval for the princess.

Rina jumped back, "Sigrid, how can you...."
