Chapter 70: Venom, Sigrid’s horse.

Brolin wanted to be helpful, all the servants had already figured that Sigrid was very generous to them as long as they were valuable. The servants on The Vale were now envied more than the servants of any other noble household, including the royal castle.

The more valuable you proved to be to Sigrid, the more money you stood to make and Brolin was more than willing to be valuable but he also knew his shortcomings.

"Your highness, I think that you should employ and advisor, someone that is familiar with the political atmosphere and noble affairs." he responded honestly.

Sigrid picked up a crumpet and applied orange jam to it with a spoon, pondering on the advice Brolin had just given her. It was not a bad idea, the queen relied on Lord Benwick to navigate many unstable situations. It was one of the reasons why she had managed to remain a strong central figure in Eldoria.

"Where can I find such a person?" She threw a few sausages down for the dogs, they were whining and looking at her as if they had been starved for days. The small white dog which was still a puppy was trying to climb up onto her laps.

Brolin knew of only one place where men with such talents could be found. "The Merlot school for scholars, but if you want some advice on this matter Lord Benwick is the best person to speak to."

Sigrid placed the half bitten crumpet on the plate while making a face that portrayed uncertainty.

"Lord Benwick works for the queen, now and always he will only serve her interests. My gut tells me that should I seek for his help on this matter, he will be sending me a spy rather than a helper. I already have more than enough eyes on me at all times."

She tilted her head back slowly and called out for Lanai.

"Write a letter to my grandfather, tell him that I am seeking for an advisor, someone that can do for me what Lord Benwick does for the queen. Have it delivered immediately and the messenger should not return without a response."

Lanai took off speedily and mounted a horse that she rode back to the castle.
