Chapter 184: A prince on the way.

At a half past six in the evening, Sigrid finally made an appearance that told everyone at The Vale that she had officially ended her mourning period. For one, she was not wearing black anymore, her dress of choice was a yellow evening gown that flowed down seamlessly and bunched up around her feet.

The news of her appearance in a colorful dress traveled quickly through the castle. Word that she had been smiling and walking arm in arm with the crown prince was shared and noise returned to the castle. While she had been grieving, everyone had been tiptoeing around, afraid to make the slightest noise as if any sound could remind her of her tragedy.

As they approached the dining room whose entirely lay out had been changed, Roland could still not believe that Sigrid was back to her old self. He stole another glance at her again.

"What is wrong? Is there something on my face?

He shook his head. "I am just wondering if you are really back or simply teasing me and I will have to dig you out of bed again tomorrow."

She shook her head. "There will be no need for that, while I cannot say that I have moved past my grief completely, I can assure you that I will not be hiding in my bedroom anymore. The Windrider house still stands, as do the Fairfax’s. The Eclipsion sword is still missing four shards, the prince of Solandor has yet to meet Emmah and fall in love with her at first sight."

"Aah...about that...." Roland’s smile turned sheepish. "I have news about that. The prince will be arriving in less than a week, depending on how fast his air ship is traveling. I guess those merchants from Solandor in the restaurant three months ago returned and said good things about Eldoria. The prince is not coming alone, three ships are accompanying him. Rudbeck and Evermore have been living on a ship for a month, watching the skies for any changes."

Sigrid shot him a startled look, this was a big unexpected change in the book. In the original novel, the prince had been traveling incognito and he did not display his flying ships. What had brought on the sudden change in the plot? It couldn’t be the food for sure.
