The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 409: New bonds for the knights.

Everywhere she went, Sigrid traveled with a chair. After sending Dame Amelia on her final journey, she sat down and faced the Suncrest knights that were no longer battling. They stood in silent formation, their silver armor with the sigil of their dame stained with blood. Grief poured from their eyes. A feeling of loss overpowered them.

She was the only noble that dared to use female knights. She was the only one that offered them protection. With her death, the lustful men that had long sought to conquer them would descend like wolves and tear them to pieces.

Many of the female knights were already plotting their escape. They needed to leave Suncrest as soon as possible and find safety in other cities. They would find other jobs. Jobs that did not fulfill their purpose which had died with the dame.

"I am happy to share that you all belong to me now." Sigrid announced with a daring smile. "As with any war, the winner gets the spoils. Your lady is dead and you have no one to serve. I am an Empress and I could use your services."

"You killed our lady." One of them wailed. "How can we serve you?"

The lightning in Christie’s hands sparked.

Sigrid held up her hand and stopped her from striking the one that spoke. Instead, she reiterated with a question. "How many ladies, women and men have you all killed? Do not stand here and claim righteousness like you don’t know the rules of war. It is kill or be killed. If I had not killed her, she would have killed me. It is that simple."

Lady Iryne and Mauve walked forward with a prisoner in their hands. One or both of them threw her before Sigrid. The prisoner was Emmah Fairfax.

Sigrid leaned forward with a deeply satisfied smile on her face. "You want to know why your Lady lost her life, the answer is simple. She was protecting this criminal. A murderer and thief. This woman will be taken back to Eldoria and tried, she will be punished for her crimes." She looked out at them. "As for the rest of you, you will be leaving this very knight. Like I said, from now on, you will serve me."

She threw her hand out and gold threads flew through the air like needles with wings. They entered the bodies of the female knights and linked to their souls, binding them Sigrid.

Some tried to fight the bond but it didn’t work.
