The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 337: Emmah’s mistakes.

The ball was Emmah Fairfax’s crowning moment, or so she thought. She had received help from an unexpected mage, the phantom midwife. Of course, there was a price to pay for her help but she had helped Emmah with the dress, make-up and all the shimmer which she needed.

She had timed her arrival perfectly, choosing a moment when all the debutantes had finished making their entrance and she walked in, dazzling everyone like the heroine of a romantic movie.

And her plan had worked perfectly. The crown princess had been forced to declare her the beauty of the season, which Emmah was certain Sigrid had been loathe to do. The dark look of fury in her eyes said so.

After the declaration, came the suitors. They flocked to her like lovesick birds, cawing and scratching, pining for her attention. After tonight, she was sure that she would be on her way to greatness.

Her first mistake had been listening to the words of Adelia Percival when she said that prince Benjamin was outside, looking for her.

Her second mistake was greed. The desire to show off to Benjamin. The temptation to secure a marriage with a prince. The desire to climb to the top and become an equal with Sigrid Thorin. A combination of all those things had resulted in her not thinking clearly. Perhaps if she had, she would have kept in mind the fact that her stepmother Lady Jane and Lady Percival were friendly enemies.

Even though they did not get along famously, they had become quite close as they waited for their daughters during those dance and etiquette classes.

So, Lady Percival’s daughter would not be doing her any favors.

Her third mistake was walking into the woods. No gentleman waited for a lady in the woods. This society was very different from earth. Only bad things happened when couples met in woods.
