The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 204: Victory is sweet.

Sigrid was looking out at the royal gardens through an open window and she was pleased with what she was seeing. After the delicious heavy meal they had eaten, Princess Thalassa had taken it upon herself to take a walk with prince Firron through the gardens.

The weather was still dull and it was drizzling. The two were sharing an umbrella. If Thalassa stuck to the knowledge Lord Givenchy had imparted to her and the little seductive tricks Elarin had taught her, she would be a step closer to achieving Sigrid’s goals.

"You look mighty pleased with yourself." Roland plopped down in a chair next to her.

"I bested your mother and aunt, so why not be pleased? It was a close call when Emmah....." She stopped talking because Roland stood suddenly and he carried her. "What are you doing?"

"We are going to play in the rain." he told her. He walked to the window and leaped out of it.

Sigrid let out a high pitched scream because for a moment, she thought they were plunging to death. Her heart raced at three hundred sixty kilometers per hour, like a racing car on a race track in a high stakes competition.

"You can open you eyes now." Roland said.

She opened them reluctantly, and realized that they were on the ground, in the gardens. Roland had touched down successfully.

"I think you forget often that I am a mage knight, my love. Jumping out of high places is like drinking milk to me." He chuckled.

Sigrid pushed at his chest and he set her down, she took a few deep breaths and calmed herself. As the rain fell on her, she felt the urge to return to the warm safety of the castle.
