Chapter 264: A serving of Elowin!!

Sigrid almost jumped out of her chair. She had been giggling as the fates of others were sealed, never imagining that her family was on the list. She looked at Esme and Esme looked at her. Both of them were stunned.

Esme had not even been given a second to digest the fact that she was the only female minister of Eldoria when her grandmother shoved a potential husband her way. Not just any potential husband but the brother of the crown princess!!

"Err..."

"Err what?" The Queen consort asked. "Are you waiting for me to send you out of the room like I did your cousin Regan?" She asked.

Esme shook her head. "There is no need for such extreme measures. However, I would like to know what the crown princess’s opinion is on this matter considering the fact that he is her brother."

"I am..." Sigrid’s eyes darted to the Queen consort. "I am staying out of it for now." She would have to wait and hear what Elowin had to say. If he lacked any interest in Esme then she would intervene.

Esme’s mouth fell open. "You can’t do that." she cried out as Sigrid broke her little heart.

The Queen consort boldlysaid, "You are the first woman minister of Eldoria and like it or not, this is going to raise a few hackles. Men will point fingers at you and say the position you hold has prevented you from marrying. Others will challenge you while claiming that you cannot run a ministry and a home at the same time. There is a lot for you to prove Esme and it is going to take you years to prove it.

In due time, you will become a target of nobles or men with hidden ambitions. Having a well established relationship is a form of protection for yourself. It helps that the young man we are talking about is a mage from a noble family. His family will defend you as much yours does."
