Chapter 171: Returning to the city.

The day Sigrid and Roland returned to the Vale was a dramatic one all through the kingdom. For starters, ten servants from the Shadowmere estate had been arrested for poisoning the food and drink of their masters. Servants killing noble masters!! it was worse than a scandal, it was terrifying.

An act like that would no doubt result in a cleansing in so many homes. Many servants, innocent or guilty would soon find themselves terminated from their posts.

The biggest scandal however was something that had occurred the night before, Emmah’s pictures and video had appeared in the evening news paper, even the evening news had covered it.

Ever since Lord Bailey and Lord Aberdon were seen on television debating the news on marriage and education, every other Lord that held public office was keen to show off their knowledge and talent on the laws and general knowledge.

Six of them were on the morning news arguing about the implications of the video and pictures because it concerned a member of the royal family. A priest had even been invited to weigh in on the matter.

He was struggling to share his moral opinion because Lord Shang, Eldoria’s self proclaimed minister of morality was yelling over everyone, splashing them with bits of saliva just to get his point across.

He was not condemning Emmah alone, he had dragged Sigrid into it, blaming her for the recent popularity of silk dresses and abandonment of the large dresses with voluptuous arms. Lord Shang also brought up the skirt pants and women carrying knives which in his opinion were short swords.

He did not forget to assign blame to The Rise of Lady Blanche for the change in women’s attitudes and the introduction of short sleeved dresses and high heeled boots to the kingdom.

Sigrid’s attention was split between watching the debate and watching the three beauties that were about to put on a performance. Mauve had actually whipped them into shape rather quickly. She had handled them with such ruthlessness that they had abandoned all their plans.

Lord Shang brought up the crown princess again and Mauve hurled a spoon at the TV in anger.
