Chapter 401: A content man.

The crowd made way for Prince Eron who had returned from his empire, ferrying more than gifts. He had come with princesses of Solandor and one of his nephews, a young man of nineteen years.

Roland and Sigrid received the gifts and met the new guests. After exchanging gifts and greetings, Prince Eron went off to hunt for his beloved and the princesses were left in the care of Sigrid.

She had no idea what say to them so she just smiled and blurted out the only thing on her mind. "So, is it true that you all have wings on your legs?"

Lady Iryne gasped.

Lady Percival spilled her wine. She was hovering around the area where the crown princess and her people were sitting. Her hope was to discover one of Sigrid’s secrets and balance the scales.

"She is pregnant." Lady Iryne told the Princesses, as if that simple explanation filled in all of the blanks magically. "I did not catch your names. Would you mind if we all introduced each other again?"

A sword was drawn and it made a sharp sound that had everyone turning nervously. Lord Bailey was giving Roland a gift, there was no sudden attack. Everyone’s hearts settled.

Chairs were brought for the Solandorian’s and introductions started.

A raven haired woman with eyes as purple as Eron’s smiled at Sigrid, "I am Princess Ethelreda, the third child of my father and his second daughter."

A green haired woman that also had purple eyes introduced herself. "I am Princess Hester, seventh in line and fourth daughter."

Everyone else introduced themselves as drinks were served. There was no tension, the two princesses were simply accepted as if they had always been part of the group. But, they were bombarded with questions.

"So, the wings on the legs." Sigrid was the first to ask her question. She was quite curious about it, so much so that she accidentally reached for a glass of wine.

Princess Ethelreda lifted her dress to show off the her flawless long legs. There were no wings or markings of any kind.
