The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 104: You disappoint me.

Roland’s arrival inside the townhouse coincided with Sigrid’s questioning? Rather than venture inside, he hid behind the doors and gestured for his men to keep a distance. His wife was a puzzle to him, he had come in search of her to discuss the ball and become even more confused.
