Chapter 208: A scandal worthy of shaking a kingdom.
As the queen planned, one of her maids returned to the dining room and informed Roland that the queen needed to see him.
"Is there bad news?" Elarin blurted out. "The queen had had a headache all day, she has gone to summon a doctor and now she is summoning Roland." She put a hand on the king’s arm and looked at him through genuinely worried eyes. "Raffi, we should go and check on her. My aunt went to bed with a headache and the following morning, she was found dead." Elarin stood up and looked at the maid. "Lead the way, hurry."
This maid was not one of Sigrid’s people and she became uneasy as soon as Elarin asked her to lead the way to the queen’s chambers.
"I...the queen asked for the crown prince only." she started off stammering and finished with a whisper.
Roland stood up but the king slapped the table in anger. "How dare you!" He glared at the maid. "As a servant girl who gave you the right to talk about to my second queen and disobey her orders?"
The maid fell to her knees in fright.
"Take her out to be punished and dismiss her." King Raff ordered. He stood up and took Elarin’s hand. "Let’s go and see what ails the queen so much that only the crown prince can heal her?"
Sigrid slipped her arm through Roland’s and they followed. Galen could not stay behind, he was also the queen’s son. Everyone at the table found it difficult to continue eating and the entire group made their way to the private chambers of the queen.
