The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 262: The Queen Consort had a different plan.

After the hug, the queen consort surprised Sigrid by pinching her cheek like one of those grandmother’s addicted to pinching the chubby cheeks of every baby they met. "The pleasure of this meeting is all mine."

"You are so pretty." Sigrid blurted out.

The smile on the face of the queen consort deepened. "I don’t think anybody has called me pretty before. When I was younger they said I was beautiful, radiant, mesmerizing."

"I have no doubt that you were all those things." Roland said with a smile that had not vanished since he set his eyes on his grandmother. "But I have a grudge against you. Why have not replied to my letters for ten years?"

"I replied, do not smear my name before your crown princess child." She scolded in a playful tone.

"Three sentences in each letter. It doesn’t count." Roland answered.

The queen consort walked ahead of them, taking her time as she was in no hurry. "I am getting old boy, my mind is too tired to come up with quirky responses. Three sentences is all I can manage now. You should count your blessings for the bride you married. She is the only reason why the doors to my manor have been opened to the world again.

I wanted to meet the first female mage in centuries that has managed to land herself a crown prince, save her neck, change the laws and convince Eldoria to see the truth that female mages are not a threat.

I grew even more curious about her when I heard that you were besotted Roland. After being hounded to settle down and presented with potential brides from every noble house and rejecting them you married Sigrid Thorin. I could not believe my ears when I heard about it."

"Well he did not stand a chance against my charms." Sigrid quipped.
