Chapter 219: That wicked magnetism.

As the biggest contributor to most of those divorces, Sigrid had no comment. She had opened up a law firm with Lord Bailey which specialized in helping clients with their marital and divorce suits.

She stayed in the background, taking on an advisory role and left all the work to Lord Bailey and the four counselors they hired. They had even hired clerks and secretaries.

At the time, she had no idea that Lord Bailey would be the biggest champion of free love, encouraging unhappy spouses to divorce. They were raking in gold coins in terms of legal fees as if they owned a gold mine. It had not taken a week before more law firms popped up in the capital. Nobles had smelled the gold like sharks smelling blood in the water and everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

Sigrid had also played a role in Galen’s divorce three weeks ago. He had come looking for advice because both of his wives wanted an amicable divorce and he felt the same way. The cause of the divorce was cited as emotional disconnection and differing interests. In truth, the women were tired of the political intrigue.

She had assisted him through it, his wives had moved out of his castle to one of his houses in the next city. They would not return to the capital for a year. By that time the divorce would be off everyone’s mind. As for the children, three in number, Galen had kept full custody but the mothers had visitation rights.

The Lord mage broke off a piece from one block of chocolate, diving it into three pieces. He passed a piece to Sigrid and another to Roland. "Someone said Lord Bailey said free love should be advocated more than arranged marriages on order to build happy families that will result in a happy society. One statement he made casually has sparked off the divorce craze.

Which brings me back to Prince Galen. Am I the only one curious about the newly single noble prince and the titled young lady mage who is blushing red more than the fire stroking these cauldrons? Is he courting Mauve Rosewood?"

"Well...none of of here us blind so we can all judge for ourselves what we see." Sigrid muttered. She narrowed her mouth and sucked on the piece of chocolate in her mouth, finding it too sweet for her taste. "I have never seen Mauve turn that red before." she muttered, her tone dripping with amusement.

to be fair, we don’t know why she has turned that shade of red.
