The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 125: Thick skin.

"You don’t need to scare your maids, they didn’t share this information with me. You have cultivated them to glue their mouths shut under the most intense questioning." Roland glanced at Sigrid’s maids.

A few times, he had tried to pry their mouths open about Sigrid’s private matters but they did not sweat under his intense gaze. They were as loyal as his white knights.

"I found out from my solicitor, someone from the office of trade and commerce informed him about all the new businesses I was opening up. They were curious to know if I was abandoning the horse racing business and wanted to acquire my horses.

His hands found the jasmines and he pulled out a few of the white flowers. He handed them to Sigrid with a smile.

She took them with an eye roll, "It’s a lovely gesture but these are my flowers Roland, there would be more meaning to it if you actually brought me a bouquet from a flower shop."

"We own a garden of flowers at the Vale. I do not think purchasing them from someone else is a good use of my money but if it is your wish, flowers will be delivered daily to you. You like roses, right?"

Miss May handed them both menus listing foods that were being sold and prices. Roland was of course curious about the menu before looking at the food. It was a paper menu but the quality was high, the kind used in the royal castle and the Vale.

It had a magical glow and the the edges were embedded with sparkling magic gemstones. Shimmering gold ink had been used and it danced across the page. The pictures of the foods appeared to be moving and a faint aroma was produced when touched.

"This is ingenious and lovely." Roland mumbled, he raised the menu to his nose and sniffed the mystical mushroom crostini.

It sounded fancy but it was just toasted baguette slices with enchanted mushrooms that changed color with each bite. The mushrooms were some of the most common foods sold by the mage estate as grew overnight and could be harvested daily.
