The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 269: Early spring.

Morning came, bringing an early spring along with it. In the Eldorian new empire, where winter had ruled for many months a frozen river crackled and a tiny robin perched on the frost-kissed windowsill of a bedroom chirped brightly.

Sigrid’s eyes fluttered open to the sound and looked around. As the recollection of what had happened the day before came to her mind, her hand moved to her stomach. Had she failed to keep the pregnancy after all?

"System..." She called out. Before she could ask the question, another voice in the room cried out, ’she is awake,’ and Sigrid turned her head to the the direction of the sound.

It was Mauve and she was not the only one in the room. Roland was sleeping in a chair by the head of the bed. John and Elowin were sharing a sofa that had been moved in in the night. Both men were sleeping on opposite ends and Kip Givenchy was laying between them, curled up like a baby in a womb.

The door was opened slowly and more people entered the room, waking those that had been sleeping. This prompted Sigrid to sit up and face everyone. She saw a lot of smiles which meant there was no bad news.

"System, my baby."

"Host, your baby was saved by Cosmos." It answered her. "I do advise that you be careful in your actions from now on. Do not physically assault the holder of the halo until it has been extracted or you will suffer the backlash."

Her hands were both grabbed at the same time, Roland took one and Lord Thorin, the other.

"My love, how do you feel?" Roland asked her.

His eyes were heavy withe exhaustion, he had hardly slept all night it seemed. Faint shadows pooled beneath the, like ink bleeding into the fragile parchment of his skin. Through the fatigue, she saw faint red, and she guessed that maybe he had cried secretly.
