The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 140: Roland’s shadow.

"You are up to no good." Galen commented as Lanai walked away.

"You would know that, wouldn’t you?" Sigrid replied smoothly. She flashed Galen a curious smile and slowly asked. "Whose idea was it to come to the Vale and play by the lake?"

Galen pointed at Benjamin, but when she saw the doubt in Sigrid’s eyes he gave up on the lie.

I won’t lie, I am enjoying watching him be humbled little by little, his reputation going down a trench and finally learning how it feels to be the rest of us, ignored by our father. Roland may not have grudges about how we were raised but I do."

"So you brought them here to irritate me because you figured that I would do something else to make waves." She surmised.

Again, he shrugged, looking very unapologetic. "Every time you encounter Emmah Windrider, something happens. It always ends in tears or blood for her and Benjamin rushes over to comfort her."

His eyes glittered with sly amusement, they were sharp devoid of the pretentious carefree disposition that he always displayed.

"So, you are using me." Sigrid chuckled dangerously.

He despises us because of the verbal humiliations his mother suffered over the years. My mother also tried to kill him many times. The more loved he was, the more she longed to snap his neck so he hid in Roland’s shadow, following him to battles and acting as if he was the best brother in the world.
