Chapter 106: Did Iryne want to kill Roland?

Sigrid was startled, her eyes moved to the partially closed doors, she wondered where Roland was hiding. She tapped her fingers nervously against her thigh as she wondered how she was going to handle the situation.

Her grandfather was talking but she could not hear what he was saying, blood was rushing to her ears. Roland had most likely heard everything that they had just talked about, maybe even witnessed her mother killing two people.

What was going through his mind? Was he hiding so that he could see what else they were up to? If that was the case then perhaps it was best to lay everything out in the open.

"Cosmos, why don’t you invite our guest in?"

If he was hiding, there was no way Cosmos had not figured it out, she was just miffed that he did not give her a heads up.

He strode towards the doors and moved one of them slightly away from the wall, looking at the corner.

"Your highness, please."

Where nothing had been, Roland appeared, he grinned at Cosmos and followed the burly knight into the drawing room. The doors were closed from outside and Cosmos stood guard with Sigrid’s other knights, keeping Roland’s knights outside.

Roland walked all the way to Sigrid and he sat down before acknowledging the people in the room.

"My love." he started with Sigrid. "Your graces and everyone." he nodded stiffly.

Every Thorin was more than surprised to hear him address Sigrid affectionately. Their burning eyes almost drilled holes into Sigrid as they sent her unvoiced questions about what had changed in her relationship with Roland. But, nobody was more surprised than her because she too did not think that he would keep up the ruse, not in front of her family that was already aware of his initial dislike of her.
