Chapter 285: A nut revolution.

Sigrid took another bite into the blue berry and listened with relish.

Duke Thorin took a sip of wine, exhaled and continued, "One day, the prince...oh sorry...he was no longer the prince because the title was stripped from him when he was cast out of the royal family, You see, Alexander did not sleep with just any other ordinary woman, he slept with the wife of the crown prince.

She got pregnant and had a son. As it turned out the boy was Alexander’s child. When his brother Odin found out he accused Alexander of planning to usurp the throne. From what I heard, the grand plan was to kill off Odin and have Alexander’s son named the new crown prince and next emperor."

"Wow...what a great plan. I like this Alexander already." Sigrid gushed.

"Of course you do." Roland rolled his eyes. His wife had a liking for the darker things in life.

"Shhh!" Sigrid kicked him on the ankle.

Roland groaned in a bass and his face twisted as his body registered the pain form the kick but he made no attempt to take his foot away.

This all entertained the servants very much. They were also keenly listening to the story of Alexander Ridley. Jesting for one was very impressed with Alexander’s debauchery. It took guts and a lack of morals to sleep with your own brother’s wife and get her pregnant deliberately.

"What happened to the crown princess?"

"Of course she died." Roland spoke up. "Any woman from a royal family that has an affair must be put to death, and rightfully so. In other families, this is a simple matter and divorce can settle it but for a royal family, it is the kind of thing that results in wars over who gets to be emperor. The woman and the child must both be killed."

Sigrid bit into the blue berry. Her bite was smaller this time round. She hoped that there would be no more letters from the knight she had no memory of or else she might be accused of having an affair and her baby would die with her.
