The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 319: A date at the fair.

"What other song would you like to listen to?" East asked Sigrid.

Roland was pleased with her answer. Pleased enough to let East play a slow ballad, accompanied by the wonderful singing of Rudbeck about two star crossed lovers.
