The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 279: Death is waiting, are you sure?

Silence.

Sigrid’s question was unexpected and it made them rethink their strategy. For the first time, Badric tucked his tail in and held his tongue. The De-Kensington brothers did not dare to say anything.

The small gap between them and the princess felt too small. The air was ripe with tension, even those that were looking on from the side lines could sense it. Phones were popular in Eldoria but there supply was not equal to the demand.

Those without phones could only watch in envy as the ones with phones shared the encounter with other people.

"That’s right. That’s what I thought." Sigrid said softly but with steel in her voice.

She expected to hear no response from them and she was about to stand when an older woman pushed her way through the boys. She walked with a cane that always moved ahead of her.

"If my daughter is truly ill then I would like to see her. Surely there is no harm in letting a mother and her daughter have a re-union at the most scary time of her life." She raised her hands that were leaning on the cane. "As you can see, I am already old and I suspect that my death is not far off. Even if I am infected with whatever you claim Maurelia has, I don’t mind. Death does not scare me anymore."

The De-Kensington brothers stood up straighter. They were like children that had been losing a fight and their big scary mommy had come to their rescue. There was even a hint of a smirk on Badric’s face. To his thinking, even the king had to give his parents some lee way. Who was the crown princess in comparison to the king?

"See, I don’t like what you said Lady Florentine." Sigrid shook her head. "The use of the word claim means that I am asserting that the queen is ill without having proof to back up my words. I refuse to be engaged in a conversation where I am accused of being a liar.

In case you all need a reminder, the king himself and his doctors decided that the queen was ill and she needed to be isolated. It was not I that made this choice so take your doubts to the king, not me.

and stood up. She looked at the brothers first and then their mother. She had her fan in her right hand and she tapped it against her left hand slowly. It seemed the old woman was going to be stubborn about it. The fact that she brought up her age and death meant she would take this matter as far as she could until she
