The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 265: Deanne in trouble.

After sending off everyone, only Sigrid and Roland were left behind. Sylvie turned her gaze to them, they were not escaping, they were part of the family too and they were childless.

"I beg your forgiveness for my blunt intrusion into your personal affairs but I must ask the question. What is going on with the two of you? I heard about the unfortunate fate of your first child but months have gone by. Is there something hindering you both from having another child?" She squeezed her eyes and winced. "Please do not tell me that Sigrid’s womb was affected negatively by the fall."

Sigrid had a response ready but someone else was more eager than her to share the good news.

"We are pregnant." Roland blurted out.

Sigrid squeezed his arm. What had happened to keeping a lid on the news?

He got the hint and apologized to her through his eyes before turning back to Sylvie. "We are keeping it quiet. Sigrid has this unexplainable belief that a pregnancy should not be shared with the world until the end of the first trimester. It is her opinion that doing so quickly the last time somehow jinxed us."

Sylvie had her eyes on Sigrid’s stomach with a loving smile on her face. "Well this is wonderful news." She declared. "I am quite certain that your child has a high chance of being born a mage. If it is a boy, some of the anxiety in the family will be quelled as the presence of a crown prince always breaks all hope for the throne changing hands."

She stood up, yawning. "I beg your indulgence my dears, but my age leaves me weary more often than I desire. I have spent three hours entertaining you all to my best ability. I need to lay down and rest now."

Her personal maid took her hand to help her out of the room. Sigrid stopped them, rushing to stand in the way of the queen consort.

"My apologies for the lack of manners and consideration but I have a small request that I would to make. I do not expect an immediate response from you. You can take your time pondering on...."

"Out with it child." Sylvie responded severely.
