The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 174: The flower that stands out.

Sigrid had no interest in the beauty contest and she had no plans to stop Emmah from launching her new fashion. She had bigger plans for the night which was why as the tea party went on, she moved closer and closer to Lady Blythe.

Through a carefully designed accident, they bumped into each other.

"Your highness." Lady Blythe curtsied and then tucked a strand of he hair back. "Pardon me for bumping into you, I did not see you."

Sigrid tilted her head and smiled coldly, "You must be blind, I advise you to make an appointment with a doctor and have your eyes examined."

Mauve and some other ladies snickered which angered Lady Blythe Ye. Despite the anger, she could not retort harshly because Sigrid was the crown princess. She did not want to make a scene at her tea party which the crown prince and even princes Elarin had graced with their presence.

This tea party needed to be a success, there was no room for scandals like the kind which had occurred at the the bachelors auction ball.

"You are right your highness, my eyes were at fault." Lady Blythe curtsied again. "My apologies."

Sigrid waved the apology away, her right hand plucked a petal from the closest blossom tree. Looking into Blythe’s eyes, she squeezed and threw it to the ground. "Hmm, what a waste of such lovely trees and flowers."

Lady Blythe’s lips quivered in anger. "Whatsoever do you mean your highness?"

"Don’t move." Sigrid ordered her.
