The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 290: What was shattered?

Sigrid took Roland’s hand and sat beside him, waiting in silence for signs of revival from him. How could she continue when he was not saying a word? When the conversation had started off, she had been feeling a knot in her stomach and now it had loosened.

Was she so obsessed with secrets that she wanted to keep even the smallest ones close to her chest? Sigrid thought it would be along wait but it was not. He came to life two minutes later.

Roland cleared his throat and picked up a thermos flask that he was certain contained hot peppermint, honey and ginger tea. The cup had not been sealed properly so he could smell the contents.

"Do you want some cake?" Sigrid asked him.

The chef had sent more than one slice, she had sent three slices. Sigrid had not even eaten half of the first one she was poking into slowly with a small two pronged fork.

He shook his head slowly. "No, just continue on with your story. How did you know about my father and this woman he loved so much?"

She sent the fork to her mouth and licked off the cream slowly. The she put it back into the cake and said in a low voice, "After your mother gave me the assignment of finding your father a new distraction, I set out to find out the king’s preferences in women. I needed to know why he loved Rina. What was so special about her that the king was willing to bear all scorn and ignore every whisper and the anger of the queen for her.
