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."

"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.
