Chapter 92: Yes and no to hatred.

Roland raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at Sigrid as if she had just said the most perplexing thing he had ever heard.

"You are my wife, who courts his wife? The very purpose of courtship is marriage and I believe that for us it has been fulfilled."

"I do not agree, continuous courtship is the best way to maintain a relationship between a couple. To date, my grandfather brings flowers for my grandmother, they dance together when nobody is watching.

I have seen him kneel down and help her put her shoes on when her back was aching. When she is sick, he takes care of her personally.

He buys her sweets, plants her favorite flowers all year round, everything he does is to make her happy and she does the same for him. My father learned from him, so he treats my father as his own father treats his mother.

My brothers are following in their footsteps, one wife for life and a lot of pampering." she spoke on them with pride.

Roland felt admiration for the Thorin’s, no wonder they were a happy united family, more than most he had ever seen. He wondered what his life would have been like if the royal family was like the Thorin’s. If his father had never brought in a secondary consort, would they have been happy too?

He had never seen his father give his mother flowers, not even once. Even when they danced together at balls, it was because they had to and it always looked forced.

"May I ask you a question?"

Her voice cut into his thoughts and she went ahead to ask the question before he could respond.

"Why did you wait so long to get married? You are a crown prince, many women want you. If the king had asked all the women interested in marrying you to line up, the line would start from the castle gates and go all the way to Nemoris." she paused and chortled, "And then Nemorian women would join and it would reach Medoris, cross the ocean to...."
