The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 372: Real love.

Very slowly, Sigrid folded the letter, put it back in the envelope and flattened it with her hand over and over like she was ironing it.

"On a scale of one to ten, how angry was my mother when she received this letter?"

Roland shrugged.

"Ten." Cosmos replied and he continued to laugh. "They called her a nosy lady. Basically, they asked her to mind her business."

Sigrid ignored Cosmos and focused on other important things. The seeds and the gems!! Who knew that writing letters could be profitable like this? Maybe she needed to pick up a pen and join her mother.

"What gems..." she started and stopped when Sir Samuel dropped a large sack on the table.

Roland gestured to them. "This is half of everything that was sent to your mother. Since sending the letters out is your duty, she decided to share her profits with you."

Sir Samuel moved the sack to the floor and then maids started unpacking the gems. It was diamonds--all diamonds, in all colors and different sizes and shapes. They were already polished. One was very eye catching for it appeared to have nearly every color in existence and it was shining brighter than the rest.

It elicited gasps from the onlookers and Sigrid was no better than them. She had seen many diamonds in both lives but none like this.

"Your mother would like you to know that there was only one gem like this and she left it for you." Roland told her. "It is her hope that when you become the official empress, your crown will have room for it. She also suggested that you can save it for any of our children. Apparently she was sad to give it up but happy because it was coming to you."

Sigrid held the gem and measured it. It was the size of her two thumbs combined. She looked at it with love and sighed. "So this is what it feels like to be loved without safeguards of any kind."

I love you." Roland let out a lost heroic
